Ep. 57: Primer for NEW LISTENERS and Review for Long Time Fans (BITE Model / Cults / Theology / IBLP / Scientology / Mormonism / MLM)
•
Sadie and Gavri'el welcome new listeners to the show by reviewing what exactly a cult is. They then play a game of "Cult or Not a Cult" with various groups that are often described as cults. Sadie tells a condensed version of her story of leaving the IFB with a new perspective, and goes over what the aims of the show are.
The BITE model is available on Steven Hassan's website, FreedomOfMind.com
