The Purity Culture Fundie Dating Manual MORE EXTREME Than I Kissed Dating Goodbye
Season 2
•
In this episode, we review "Dating With a Purpose," which is an IFB purity culture dating manual targeted at teens and young adults in the IFB and at Hyles-Anderson college. It was written by Jack Schaap, who later went to prison for sexually abusing a child who was a student at the high school where he was chaplain.
We also discuss Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family's appearance in the Epstein files, and why abusers love purity culture so much.

We Were Cut Out of the Mary Cosby documentary (Mary Cosby Parts 1 and 2)
01:43:00|In the fall of 2024, we contributed to a streaming documentary focused on Faith Temple Pentacostal church in Salt Lake City Utah, and its first lady, Mary Cosby, who is a cast member on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This documentary was released by TLC as "Cult of the Real Housewife." Our contributions to this documentary were not included, and we believe that this documentary did a disservice to its audience by not going into detail on the SHOCKING things that we found.Stay tuned for Part 3!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/@leaving_edenJoin our discord server! https://discord.gg/aneFkUJuJoin our subreddit!
