Trigger Warning: Rape/Sexual Assault/Cults This week we are joined by comedian, writer and professor Brooke Arnold. Brooke tells us all about her experience of growing up in a cult that has been called "The world's most woman-hating cult" from the ages of 7 to 17, how she escaped and what adjusting to life afterwards was like. We get a look deep inside her former cult-- The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) and its ‘7 Non-Optional Life Principles’ - and how those principles (Design, Authority, Responsibility, Suffering, Ownership, and Freedom) were constructed to justify and perpetuate a pyramid scheme of abuse and sexual assault. We discuss what makes something a cult, how to tell if something is a cult, and what makes people vulnerable to being sucked in. Finally Brooke tells us how cults are just indicators of larger culture, why she prefers a psychedelic approach to therapy and how a recent trip to her former cult leader Bill Gothard’s house led her to a healing revelation.

Bill Gothard created the Advanced Training Institute and the Institute of Basic Life Principles, abusive ministries that shaped the framework of most homeschool curriculum in the 80s & 90s. Through his position, Gothard was able to put in place a system of abusive practices throughout the homes of many of his followers, which helped lay the groundwork for sexual, mental, and physical abuse of women, girls, and young people in particular. An incredible amount of young women and men who worked closely with Gothard have accused him of sexual and emotional abuse, and after taking a closer look at him and his life, we have no reason to doubt their credibility. Join us as we discuss the man, the cult, and the survivors of Bill Gothard and his ministry.

Surviving a cult, the cycles of life and nature, transforming pain into art, and finding the light when you’ve hit rock bottom… How’s this for a movie pitch — Imagine a woman who was a member of cult from childhood that denied her a normal education, she ran away and was homeless for seven years, then miraculously nearly completed a PhD and then—wait for it—became a standup comedian. Sounds like an Oscar winner, right? The thing is — this isn’t fiction. It is the true story of Brooke Arnold. Arnold shares her truly extraordinary journey, and discusses cycles of life and nature, transforming pain into art, and finding the light when you’ve hit rock bottom. Plus, a shocking Reiki healing moment, and Arnold’s night in the psych ward where she heard a voice that guided her to do something that changed her life forever. Comedian Brooke Arnold joins guest host Jessica Brodkin in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennhieser. Arnold is scheduled to perform on the Equinox at Carolines on Broadway in New York City March 21, 2018, showcased as a headliner. In this episode: Arnold discusses a Buzzfeed video about growing up in a cult that she says took a lot from her, didn’t pay her, and didn’t give her credit How Arnold was in a cult from a young age, her parents home schooled her, she had to stay home and use home school curriculum including The Wisdom Booklets How Arnold got out of the cult What led to change of vocation from Creative Director of a startup to dog walker, The nature of comedy, like magic, an inexplicable force, and a kind of telekinesis Being homeless, dealing with likely PTSD, and working to heal and get into a normal space How our pain is not who we are, and how talking about one’s experiences can be healing How Arnold spent ten years negating everything she had known When she was in a psych ward and made deal with herself, giving herself one year to feel better How Arnold heard a voice say to start meditating, and she began discovering new depths and filling herself up with kindness and goodness, and living life while letting go Arnold’s belief and focus in the Goddess The belief that the greatest ill done by our world is the focus on the masculine divine, and much bad has been done by this The realities of the moon cycle, and the ebbs and flows of the cyclic aspects of nature The most spiritual thing we can do is ask for help How Arnold’s cult experience made its way into her art, including a one-woman show at the Fringe Festival that was sold out, opened a wound, allowed an energy release, and how Arnold then went into a “dark place” A remarkable Reiki healing moment And how psychedelics can play into shaking someone up and helping to inspire the right path?

We were honored today to have Jerry Seely and family among us at Concord's Homecoming! The service, the fellowship, and the food were great! Thank you, Reverend Seely, for ministering to us this day! BIO FOR GERALD (JERRY) SEELY I was born January 26, 1951 in Tucson, Arizona. I am a triplet, two boys and one girl. My father, Wayne Seely, was a career Air Force Man, having served during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. My early life was one of moving to different Air Force Bases. I lived in Tucson, AZ, Boise, ID, Salina, KS, Austin, TX, Grand Forks, ND and Merced, CA. After my dad retired in 1966 we moved to the Springfield, MO area. I graduated from high school in 1969. I met my spouse to be, Billie Woodruff, and we married later that year. We have been married 48 years and have four grown children, Bobby Seely, Darlene Seely, Micah Seely, and Brooke Arnold. We also have 8 grandchildren. In 1972 I received the call to ministry. Following Lay Speaker Training I began the local pastor course of study. In 1973 I enrolled in Southwest Missouri State University and completed my B.A. Degree in May 1977. In August 1977 I began theological studies at Candler School of Theology and graduated with my M.Div. in June 1980. I attended the Naval War College in 1991 receiving a master’s degree in National Defense and Strategic Studies. My ministry in the local church began as a student pastor at Fordland UMC and Pleasant Hill UMC 1974-1977. I arrived at Concord UMC as a student pastor in June 1977 and returned to the Missouri Conference in Dec 1979. From Dec 1979 until Oct 1981 I served the Bois D’Arc and Ellwood United Methodist Churches in the Springfield District, Springfield, Missouri. My Navy Chaplaincy Career began in October 1981 until I retired in Oct 2011. During those 30 years I served aboard Navy Ships, had three tours of duty with the United States Marine Corps, served with Navy Seabees, and duty overseas in Okinawa, Japan, Pohang, Korea, Brisbane, Australia, and Pattaya, Thailand. Shore assignments included duty in Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, California, Rhode Island, Virginia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Billie and I have been retired since 2011 and enjoy traveling in our RV, playing golf, enjoying our grandchildren, and hanging out at the beach. God has richly blessed us along life’s journey.

“Other ATI beliefs that I learned range from utterly bizarre to downright barbaric,” Brooke Arnold writes in the essay, I Could Have Been a Duggar Wife, “like the creator of Cabbage Patch Kid dolls is actually a Satanic wizard who implants demons into the dolls that then sneak into children’s bodies while they are sleeping — along with the old standard that rock music is inherently sinful.” The story’s subhed labeled Arnold a “real-life Kimmy Schmidt,” as she exposed a laundry list of horrors perpetrated by the Advanced Training Institute, a fundamentalist homeschooling program that helped give rise to reality TV stars, the Duggar family. A week later, Salon published a followup in which Arnold admitted that if she had know how large a splash the story would cause, she “ would not have had the courage to press ‘send’ on the pitch,” while adding that the positive response from women with similar backgrounds ultimately made the decision worthwhile. The story also, naturally, helped raise the profile of a comedian working to establish a name for herself in the big city, as well as helping to inspired the creation of the forthcoming comedic memoir, Growing Up Fundie. We sat down to discuss starting over again in the big city and creating comedy from personal tragedy.
