Frankie Files Podcast

On this 4th Tuesday, we get into a back to school topic like last year with Andrew Pledger. Examining the home school to Christian College pipeline, host Andrew Pledger tells us of his new limited series podcast Surviving Bob Jones University. Streaming now, this interview gives us insight into the preparation and depth of his research and how he'll bring us more in the future deeply diving into the unacceptable atmosphere created for young minds who believe they are going to get an education.Linktree: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/linksSurviving BJU Podcast: https://lnk.bio/survivingbjupodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledger

Pre-empting the usual 2nd Tuesday theme, we will complete part one of Mom's interview about Morningland. In Ep. 71 we brought you audio from 1987 showing how the clergy treated my Mom at the curb while she tried to visit her daughters on their birthday for the third year. Today, we complete a task we started in episode 12 of this show - Mom's full Interview - it's been only 35+ years coming in some ways. Mom reveals the story of how she and her family were recruited from North Long Beach into the Temple at East Long Beach (#longbeachcult). Mom experiences a level of control from the leadership that she was not prepared for which gets progressively worse from 1974 to 1984. As the trainwreck continues, she is challenged, separated, and finally ex-communicated while her daughters are promoted.

On this 5th Tuesday, we check two boxes for this episode featuring a new addition to The Morningland Papers and the author interview. Our Author guest has multiple titles under his belt but not all read like a science fiction novel which happens to be a true story.Here to tell the tale using details from his 2020 publication When the Light Came: Conducting Spiritual Warfare - A True Account [ISBN ‏ : ‎ B08C94RMQV] available in digital or paperback is Stephen Mercer (CFP / CISA / CSA)https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08BJCCG6C/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=f8dd2c52-10a5-4da6-b99e-da7ff1f82e00&store_ref=ap_rdr&ref_=ap_rdrThe year is 1997 and the town is Long Beach. There is an out-of-state recruitment happening in Colorado where Stephen lives, in a rare event. This is what ensued once Stephen Mercer made contact with the California Cult. #longbeachcult#themorninglandpapers#frankiefilespodcast#whenthelightcame#occupycults

It's 4th Tuesday, and our focus is on cult kids, aka adult children of cults.This time, extending the chat from Ep. 68, we'll keep going with how music is used in cults, and how it goes directly to the brain and how it does that. Today I'll also sample a song from the cult in Japan called AUM. It's pretty creepy. Kids throughout the country and world sang it right up until he was sentenced to prison for subway killings. Alrighty. Incidentally the leader of the AUM cult and several of its members have been put to death for deadly gas subway attacks killing many innocent people.

On this 2nd Tues. we get back to the topic of sexuality lining up with another telling for the Morningland Papers ongoing story. This time with Steve Ryan who has actively been involved with ex-morninglanders.com writing his story publicly to help inform others about a dangerous Long Beach cult. Today I read his story and change the voice a bit so you know when it's his words. They are dramatic, as he was inner circle adjacent and that come with demands and sacrifice to please the female spiritual master who reigned.Listen to this ongoing series on Spotify Playlist - The Morningland Papers or Youtube Playlist - The Morningland PapersSubscribe on Acast Spotify iHeart Radio Apple PodcastsYoutube Audible GooglePodcasts Podlink Stitcher Pocket Cast Pandora or RSS

It's 4th Tuesday and time to examine life as a cult kid. This time I explore the concept of faith healing through time, how it soured a cult kid on medical treatment and how we pay the price.
