For over four decades, former members of the Word of Faith Fellowship have tried to hold the church accountable through every available channel — journalists, law enforcement, social services, federal prosecutors, the courts. According to those who lived it, the system failed at every turn. Jane Whaley's 2004 assault conviction was overturned after five years of appeals. More than forty former members gave testimony to the SBI in the 1990s. No charges resulted. Inside Edition investigated in 1995. The church survived. DSS opened child abuse investigations. The church sued the department and won. Former members told the AP that the church orchestrated a cover-up strategy in which congregants were pressured into lying to investigators and recanting prior statements. Church leaders and followers reportedly gave at least eighty-five thousand dollars to state politicians, according to WRAL's analysis. Members volunteered at campaign events for Donald Trump, according to the New York Times. The local Republican Party in Rutherford County was allegedly taken over by people connected to the fellowship. Matthew Fenner's criminal case stalled for over eight years following a 2017 mistrial. A special prosecutor took over the case in 2026. The only convictions secured: unemployment fraud. Tony Brueski closes a five-part investigation with the systems that were supposed to protect victims — and reportedly failed them for more than forty years.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jane Whaley's 2004 assault conviction was the only time the legal system came close to holding her personally accountable. Five years of appeals later, it was overturned. And according to former members, the church learned it could outlast the courts. The pattern repeated across decades. More than forty former members testified to investigators in the 1990s — no charges. Inside Edition aired an investigation in 1995 — the church survived and allegedly used the coverage to deepen members' distrust of the outside world. Social services opened child abuse investigations — the church sued the department and won. According to the AP, church leaders waged a cover-up strategy in which members were strong-armed into lying to investigators and recanting statements. According to WRAL, leaders and followers gave at least eighty-five thousand dollars to state politicians. The New York Times reported members volunteered at Trump campaign events. In Rutherford County, complaints emerged that the Republican Party had been taken over by people associated with the fellowship. Matthew Fenner's case — stemming from an alleged 2013 beating — was delayed over eight years after a mistrial. By 2026, the cases had been transferred to a special prosecutor. The only criminal convictions secured against the church involved unemployment fraud totaling more than $250,000. Tony Brueski closes a five-part investigation with the institutional failures that former members say protected the Word of Faith Fellowship for over four decades.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Andre Oliveira left his Word of Faith Fellowship congregation in Brazil for the mother church in North Carolina, he expected a spiritual experience. According to his account to the Associated Press, what he found instead was forced labor. His passport was confiscated. He was allegedly made to work fifteen hours a day, usually without pay, cleaning warehouses and working at businesses owned by church ministers. Oliveira was one of sixteen Brazilian former members who told the AP they were exploited. The church maintained two affiliated congregations in Brazil that reportedly served as a recruitment pipeline, sending young people to the Spindale compound on tourist and student visas. Many spoke little English on arrival. Passports were allegedly seized. American workers performing the same jobs were compensated. Brazilian workers, according to multiple accounts, were not. Former member Rebeca Melo called it slave labor. Anti-Slavery International noted that using religion to traffic and exploit people follows established patterns of modern slavery. In 2014, three former members reported the allegations directly to an assistant U.S. attorney. A recording captured the conversation. The prosecutor asked whether the Brazilians were beaten. The former members confirmed it. She promised to look into the situation. According to their accounts, she never followed up. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation with the international pipeline former members say was built on stolen passports and stolen labor.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Word of Faith Fellowship did not just operate in Spindale, North Carolina. According to the Associated Press, it maintained affiliated churches in Brazil, Ghana, Scotland, Sweden, and other countries. Brazil was reportedly the biggest source of foreign labor. The AP's investigation found that the church allegedly used its Brazilian congregations to recruit young people with promises of religious or educational opportunities in America. They arrived on tourist and student visas. Many spoke little English. And according to sixteen Brazilian former members who spoke to the AP, their passports were seized upon arrival and they were put to work without compensation. Andre Oliveira told the AP he worked approximately fifteen hours a day cleaning warehouses and laboring at businesses owned by ministers. Jay Plummer, an American who supervised projects for a church leader's business, confirmed that American workers alongside the Brazilians were paid while the Brazilians allegedly were not. Several hundred young people reportedly traveled this pipeline over approximately two decades. In 2014, former members brought these allegations directly to a federal prosecutor. A recording of the meeting captured her asking whether the Brazilians were beaten. She promised to look into it. The former members said she never responded.

A former teacher at the Word of Faith Christian School told the Associated Press that in the middle of class, children would surround a classmate accused of having demons, throw them to the floor, and beat them. Teachers were allegedly told not to stop it. The school, which operated on the Spindale compound under Jane Whaley's authority, was one piece of the church's alleged control over children and families. Former members described a practice of removing children from their biological parents and placing them with ministers to be raised. In some cases, contact was allegedly cut for up to ten years. According to former members, the separations served as loyalty engineering — children bonded with church guardians while biological parents were trapped, unable to leave without forfeiting their kids. When parents did leave the church and fought for custody, the Word of Faith Fellowship reportedly used its resources to fight them in court. Three single mothers described a church member and county court clerk who allegedly bypassed the foster system to gain custody of their children. A judge found clear evidence of abuse and neglect inside the fellowship. The church sued the Department of Social Services and reportedly won, closing investigations. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation into what former members say was a machine designed to weaponize family bonds.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former teacher Rebeca Melo told the Associated Press that inside the Word of Faith Christian School, children would turn on each other in the middle of class. One child would accuse another of having demons. The group would surround the accused. According to Melo, children were thrown to the ground and beaten. Teachers were allegedly told not to intervene. John Cooper, who worked as a teacher's aide in Jane Whaley's class, said Whaley reportedly encouraged the violence and warned students not to tell their parents. But the school was one layer. Former members described a system in which children were allegedly removed from their biological parents and placed with church ministers for years — cut off from contact for up to a decade. The effect was that children bonded with minister guardians while parents were trapped in the church by the fear of losing access. When parents left and fought for custody, the church reportedly deployed attorneys, money, and congregant witnesses against them. Three single mothers told the AP that a church member serving as a county court clerk allegedly bypassed the foster system and gained custody of their children. One mother told a judge she would rather her son go to foster care than back to the church. A judge found clear evidence of abuse. The church sued DSS and reportedly won.

Imagine being surrounded by a group of people — their mouths inches from your face — screaming at full volume for hours. That was reportedly the starting point of a practice called blasting inside the Word of Faith Fellowship. Former members told the Associated Press the screaming was meant to cast out demons. But over time, according to dozens of accounts, it allegedly became physical. Members were reportedly punched, choked, held down, and beaten. Injuries including cracked ribs went untreated because the church allegedly prohibited members from seeking outside medical care. The compound maintained a four-room former storage building called the Lower Building where males perceived as serious sinners were reportedly isolated for up to a year. Jamey Anderson, who entered the church at age four, described treatment that other former members called some of the harshest anyone endured. Michael Lowry alleged he was beaten in 2011 over his sexual orientation. Matthew Fenner said he was beaten for approximately two hours in 2013 and has spent more than a decade pursuing charges. Five church members were indicted, a mistrial occurred in 2017, and by 2026 the cases had been transferred to a special prosecutor.

It started with screaming. According to the Associated Press, the Word of Faith Fellowship practiced something called blasting — groups of members surrounding a person and shrieking inches from their face for hours to allegedly drive out demons. Secret recordings captured the sound. Former members said it eventually was not enough. According to Rick Cooper, a Navy veteran who spent over two decades in the church, the practice escalated from vocal aggression to physical violence. Members were allegedly punched, choked, slammed to the ground, and restrained. Injuries went untreated because the church reportedly forbade outside medical attention. A four-room former storage building called the Lower Building was allegedly where the worst treatment occurred — males sent there for up to a year, cut off from their families, subjected to prolonged beatings and blasting sessions. Michael Lowry alleged he was beaten in 2011 to remove gay demons. He testified before a grand jury, then briefly returned to the church and recanted, then left again and reaffirmed his original statement. Matthew Fenner alleged he was beaten for approximately two hours in 2013. His case resulted in indictments of five church members, a mistrial in 2017, and over eight years of delays. By 2026, the case had been handed to a special prosecutor.

Jane Whaley had no seminary degree, no ordination, and no formal ministry credentials. She was a former high school math teacher from rural North Carolina. And according to former members of the Word of Faith Fellowship, she allegedly controlled which of her followers could date, marry, have intimate relations with their own spouses, and have children. The church reportedly started in a converted steakhouse in Spindale in 1979 and grew into an organization with hundreds of members and affiliations across multiple countries. Former members told the Associated Press that the early days felt like an answer — community, purpose, belonging. But over time, according to their accounts, the warmth became a cage. Members were allegedly instructed to sever ties with family outside the church. Jobs, housing, and social connections all reportedly ran through church-controlled channels. Whaley was considered a prophet whose word was taken as gospel, and former members said they were taught that leaving meant damnation. According to multiple accounts, the church conducted invasive interrogations about members' private lives and allegedly kept the confessions on file as leverage against anyone who considered departure. In this opening episode of a five-part investigation, Tony Brueski traces how a small-town math teacher reportedly built a global organization built on dependency, fear, and control so total that hundreds of adults handed over their most intimate decisions to a single woman.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A former math teacher from rural North Carolina allegedly built a church where she controlled which couples could reproduce, which members could attend college, and who was allowed to speak to their own families. Jane Whaley and her husband Sam reportedly converted a shuttered steakhouse into the Word of Faith Fellowship in 1979. It grew, at its peak, to approximately 750 members in North Carolina and nearly 2,000 followers in affiliated churches worldwide. According to the Associated Press, the fellowship operated under roughly 145 rules governing every aspect of daily life. Members could not watch television, read newspapers, or eat at restaurants serving alcohol. Men could not grow beards. College textbooks had to be cleared by leadership. Former members have said the control went far deeper than lifestyle restrictions. They described invasive interrogations about intimate behavior, confessions that were allegedly catalogued and held as leverage, and teachings that leaving the church would result in cancer, death, or eternal damnation. Once a member's housing, employment, and relationships all flowed through the institution, departure reportedly meant total loss. Tony Brueski opens a five-part Hidden Killers investigation into the Word of Faith Fellowship with the question that matters most: not what happened inside, but how anyone got trapped there in the first place.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen.
