It's a new year and we're jumping into Feedback Friday with a few powerful viewer questions that go to the heart of coercive control, cult dynamics, and identity defense. Let's look closer at what some call the “7M TikTok cult,” why law enforcement says their hands are tied, and what families can realistically do when adult loved ones appear isolated, manipulated, or financially controlled. Then we'll shift to Julie Rowe's interview with Nate Eaton for a moment and examine how claims of special spiritual authority mirror the same psychological patterns seen in Chad Daybell's prison letters, long after both were stripped of credibility. We're not attacking beliefs, we're recognizing behavioral patterns, protecting families, and understanding how power, identity, and influence operate when accountability is resisted.#MirandaDerrick #MelanieWilking #7MFilms #RobertShinn #ShekinahChurch #JulieRowe #ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #FeedbackFriday #ProfilingEvil #CultDynamics #CoerciveControl #7MTikTok #Psychology #UndueInfluence #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #cult #Cults #domesticviolence #DV========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil ========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Up and Adam joins me to break down The Cult of a Real Housewife documentary and all things Mary Cosby from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We discuss what this means for her future on the franchise and whether Bravo can move forward without addressing the controversy. Plus, I dive into the toxic mom groups Ashley Tisdale recently spoke out about, Oprah once again making the cover of People amid her ongoing weight journey, and the bizarre world of adults who treat lifelike dolls as real babies. As always, it's a full scoop of pop culture, reality TV chaos, and jaw-dropping stories. -For a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

In Part 2 with artist and ex-Mormon creator Shelise Ann Sola, we pick up with what happens after you walk away from the LDS Church: family fallout, reclaiming your body and sexuality from modesty/purity culture, and learning how to trust your own inner authority instead of a prophet, bishop, or priesthood holder. Shelise talks about healing religious trauma, unpacking scrupulosity and intrusive fears about hell and worthiness, and the messy, funny, and sometimes dark reality of building a new life, new boundaries, and new beliefs in the “post-Mormon” wilderness.We also get into her online work: TikTok, podcasts, art, and ex-Mormon memes as a form of grief processing and community-building, why Mormonism and other high-demand religions can feel a little bit culty, and what's actually helped her feel safe, connected, and spiritually grounded on the other side.Be sure to follow Shelise's podcast, Cults to Consciousness, on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and Shelise at sheliseannsola.com and on Instagram @sheliseann.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

In the first part of our conversation, artist, podcaster, and former Mormon Shelise Ann Sola joins us to talk about growing up in a devout Latter-day Saint (LDS) family. She internalized “perfect girl” expectations and slowly deconstructed the high-demand beliefs that shaped her identity and relationships. Shelise shares how modesty culture, purity messaging, temple worthiness interviews, and the LDS obsession with eternal marriage impacted her mental health, sexuality, and sense of self, and how leaving the church meant losing community, certainty, and family approval all at once. We also got into her creative life after Mormonism, why she started talking publicly about high-control religion and religious trauma, and how she now uses humor, art, and storytelling to help other ex-Mormons and faith-questioners feel less alone while they untangle what was spiritual from what was spiritual abuse.Follow Shelise's podcast, Cults to Consciousness, on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and Shelise at sheliseannsola.com and on Instagram @sheliseann.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Small town horror stories hit different—because everyone knows your name… and everyone is hiding something. In this Weekly Spooky Vault compilation, we dig into Small Town Secrets where quiet streets cover up occult rituals, missing people, backwoods monsters, and ancient things that should've stayed buried. Lock your doors, kill the lights, and listen close—because the scariest part is how normal it all looks in daylight.• I Was Sent to a Small Town Where Strange Things Were Happening — Michael Kelso:A security specialist arrives in a remote New England “tourist town” and discovers the restoration project is a cover for something older—something that wears faces, erases memories, and waits beneath a church like a heartbeat in the dirt.• The Devil Reaps the Harvest — John Oak Dalton:A shady deal at an “abandoned factory” turns into a nightmare chase when buried experiments wake up hungry—dragging a town's dirty secrets into the open with blood on the asphalt.• Eh, Real Monsters from NEPA — Michelle Antisocial:In rural Northeastern Pennsylvania, a bullied new kid, feral dog attacks, and livestock killings spiral into a full-moon panic… until the truth reveals who the real monster has been all along.• Sin — Rob  Fields:At Strickfield Academy, a runaway with a stolen uniform finds a forbidden “bible” and embraces something far worse than rebellion—an occult ascension fueled by blood, devotion, and a demon-goddess calling from beyond.• The God Tongue — Dan Wilder:A voiceless outcast from Jayden's Cross hunts in the fog, kills the wrong “stag,” and awakens an ancient lineage—forcing him to speak with voices that aren't his… for a town that has been listening for centuries.New here? This episode stands alone—just press play and let the secrets crawl out. If you've been binging the Weekly Spooky feed, you already know the rule: small towns keep trophies.

In this mind-bending episode, clinical hypnotist and author David Barron dives deep into hypnosis, NLP, influence, and identity transformation. From personal reinvention after heartbreak to writing under the alter ego “Dantalion Jones,” David shares unforgettable stories—including a Klingon-fueled confidence hack, helping a client rediscover her sex drive, and uncovering hidden memories of alien abductions. We explore the blurred lines between ethical persuasion and cult mind control, how everyone is susceptible to influence, and the practical tools anyone can use to take back control of their mind.

What is awe, and how is this emotion exploited by cults? How is awe related to infatuation, to the experience of falling in love romantically, and what has it got to do with babies and cults? How can humour be used to breakdown the residual after effects of awe for those who have left cults? Join us for a fascinating conversation with Dr Yuval Laor about these emotions and how they are manipulated in cults and how understanding their effects can support recovery.

We are living through an interesting time when Christianity has regained popularity but how it shows up in our world is confusing. I thought about this during the Charlie Kirk memorial service. It was like a megachurch event and while I am happy for people whenever they have a spiritual movement, I wonder about what it means for those in power versus what it means for those who are participating in it. I wanted to talk to Jay Dyer because he has an interesting perspective on the perversion of Christianity in modern day politics and entertainment.

Join "Mind Over Murder" co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley as they discuss the new book "Death in the Jungle" with author Candace Fleming.  The book tells the bizarre story of the People's Temple, a religious organization which was responsible for the murder of more than 900 temple members in Jonestown, Guyana in November 1978. The temple, which many critics said ultimately became a cult, was led by charismatic leader Jim Jones.Death in the Jungle: Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestownhttps://candacefleming.com/books/death_in_the_jungle/American Detective TV series: Colonial Parkway Murders:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp3rNRZnL0EWashingtonian: A Murder on the Rappahannock River:https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/06/27/murder-on-the-rappahannock-river-emerson-stevens-mary-harding-innocence-project/WTKR News 3: One year after development in Colonial Parkway Murders, where do things stand?https://www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-community/historic-triangle/one-year-after-development-in-colonial-parkway-murders-where-do-things-standWon't you help the Mind Over Murder podcast increase our visibility and shine the spotlight on the "Colonial Parkway Murders" and other unsolved cases?

It's a festive special from Killers, Cults & Queens

John and Brantley discuss the strange intersection between Christmas traditions and the theology of control that runs through movements like William Branham’s Message and the International House of Prayer. Their candid conversation explores how cult systems redefine holiness by stripping joy from human experience—right down to banning Christmas trees. The episode connects Branham’s mantle claims, the rise of Joel’s Army, and IHOPKC’s culture of overwork and spiritual abuse, tracing how authoritarian leadership transforms faith into fear. They unpack how stage personas, hero worship, and emotional addiction create a cycle of narcissism and trauma, then turn to healing, recovery, and the rediscovery of genuine community and humanity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam Tripoli welcomes Matt Ehret for a condensed but provocative discussion on America's hidden history and its alleged ties to the occult, including Benjamin Franklin's efforts to bring Canada into the early United States. The conversation explores a spider web of secret societies, the role of Freemasonry among the Founding Fathers, and how power networks are said to stretch across centuries. Ehret also draws bold connections between the Jack the Ripper mystery and what he calls the “Kevin Bacon” of conspiracies, linking it all to the greater Israel project.Please check out Matt Ehret's book: "Revenge Of The Mystery Cults"- https://bit.ly/4scPBlOPlease subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutubeGrab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos:https://bit.ly/415fDfYCheck out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!Join the WolfPack at Wise Wolf Gold and Silver and start hedging your financial position by investing in precious metals now!

Liz Cameron was 18 years old when a stranger approached her in a book shop. It was the beginning of her induction into a cult, and it was an experience Liz barely survived.The process of brainwashing happened gradually, first came the love-bombing and the allure of finding a new purpose in life. Then came the isolation from friends and family, along with sleep deprivation, overwork and sexual manipulation.Liz was one of the many women chosen to become a kind of bride for the leader of an infamous Korean religious group.It wasn't until she became critically ill, that her family were able to get the help she needed to escape and to begin the process of being deprogrammed.Liz Cameron's memoir is called Cult Bride: How I was brainwashed and how I broke free.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today we are sharing an episode from a brand new podcast launched on the RQ Network, Burned by a Paper Sun.Burned by a Paper Sun is a brand new, chilling, horror anthology podcast from the same brilliant creators of The Gentleman From Hell, Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle. In Burned by a Paper Sun, shadows come in a thousand shapes—some drawn long beneath a dying sky, others drifting and lost beneath a wandering cloud. Yet one certainty has always remained: every shadow must have a caster. But what if that isn't true? What if darkness could stand on its own? In this first episode William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his sceptical outlook, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Most of all, he is terrorised by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.Introduction and outro by Billie HindleYou can listen to the next episode of Burned by a Paper Sun by clicking on this link, or by searching for Burned by a Paper Sun wherever you find podcasts, or on the Rusty Quill website--Cast:Written by Mark AnzaloneEdited by Walker KornfeldSound mastering by Steven J.

This mid-season bonus episode of Nacho Fitness Coach features Kathy Barron, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Women Who Podcast Magazine and host of the Women Who Sarcast podcast, joining us to talk about one of our favorite uncomfortable topics: fitness cults.We get into how certain fitness programs, brands, and “communities” start out motivational and somehow end up requiring unwavering loyalty, strict rules, and a suspicious lack of questions. Totally normal stuff. We talk about hype culture, influencer authority, and how fitness can quietly shift from something you do into something you're expected to believe.As always, there are side tangents, sarcasm, and a healthy amount of unserious commentary—but the point still lands: fitness should support your life, not become your personality. And if your workout plan feels more like a belief system than a tool…well. You're not wrong to think that's kinda weird.Women Who Podcast MagazineWomen Who Podcast Magazine InstagramWomen Who Sarcast InstagramListen to Women Who Sarcast on your favorite podcast platform!

For this podcast let's look at Seventh-day Adventism. purchase book here I'm Gary Zacharias, a professor of English, avid reader, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ. This podcast is for anyone curious about the intellectual foundation of the Christian faith. Each episode, I feature a key book on topics like the existence of God, the historical evidence for Jesus, science and Christianity, or the reliability of the Bible. These are the books that have earned a permanent place on my apologetics bookshelf—and I want to share them with you. contact me: theapologistsbookshelf@gmail.com

High-control religious groups exploit gendered social programming, effectively priming women for coercive control via enforced submission, isolation, and lack of agency. This critical discussion draws sick parallels between traditional feminine roles and cult dynamics, noting how manufactured obedience prevents critical thinking and makes escaping high-control environments virtually impossible. We expose the insidious tactics like "love bombing" and false empowerment that strip genuine agency and trap people in cycles of destructive dogma.News Source:

One of the most troubling aspects of cult dynamics is the way they generate self‑reinforcing histories that can become chaotic and fragmented, leaving individuals disoriented within the broader narrative. We need knowledgeable guides who can help us navigate these stories while providing a grounding in their historical context. I wrote Chapter Three of my book, The Cult of Trump, about the parallels with Jones, Moon, and Hubbard. Don Lattin, this week's podcast guest, concurred, though he personally likened Trump more closely in his mind to Jim Jones, whose leadership culminated in the historic tragedy at Jonestown. Lattin is a long-established and award-winning religion reporter. His work has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Both of us agreed that Trump exhibits traits of malignant narcissism and appears to be steering the United States toward escalating threats and harms.   The MAGA movement itself is a cult, is led by cults, and has demented authoritarian leadership written all over it. Don Lattin is a journalist who has specialized in writing about religions, cults, psychedelic history, cultural norms, and other fascinating topics since the 1970s.

What does it feel like when an entire room seems to turn to shimmering gold, and you are certain you have just witnessed a miracle, only to later discover it was a hypnotic illusion? On this episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion, I sit down with my longtime friend, former client, and now colleague, filmmaker Jim Picariello. Thirty years ago, Jim was a devoted follower of Zen Master Rama (Frederick Lenz). His family hired me to help him leave the group, and together we unpacked how hypnotic suggestion, phobia indoctrination, and social pressure created those “supernatural” experiences and kept him trapped in a high-control cult.In this conversation, Jim walks us through his recruitment as an anxious college student, the engineered “golden light” experiences that convinced him Rama was enlightened, and the fears that cut him off from friends and family. We also talk about how his parents and I worked together to reach him ethically, how a single powerful hypnotic demonstration helped break the spell, and what it took for him to rebuild his identity and life on the outside.Today, Jim is a multi-award-winning filmmaker turning his story and decades of cult education into a dark romantic comedy feature called The Cult of Us, about two young people in different cults who fall in love and try to “rescue” each other. Along the way, we explore how fiction can teach people to recognize undue influence, authoritarian leaders, and coercive relationships in a way that is funny, moving, and truly life-saving. If you care about freedom of mind, rising authoritarianism, and how people actually wake up from destructive groups, this is an interview you will want to listen to and share.

Yes, the CIA tortured inmates suspected of terrorism in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Two of the primary men involved with creating this program are Mormon, one was called to be a Bishop after taking $81mn from the government to torture people. We discuss the report, how it came to light, some of the key figures along the way, and the fight over the FOIA release of the report in the courts. After that we talk about The Report, wherein Adam Driver plays Dan Jones who led the investigation at the direction of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Then we have some happy news about libraries getting funding that was promised to them.   CW: torture, suicide   Show Notes:  Torture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture#Punishment  Torture in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_in_the_United_States#History_of_U.S._Accession  US Senate report on CIA torture "The Torture Report": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate_report_on_CIA_torture  The Torture Memos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_Memos  7 Key Points form the C.I.A.
