Show Notes
A Victorian parliamentary inquiry investigates religious fringe groups and alleged cults, receiving 286 public submissions. Seven groups stand out, including registered charities like Jehovahs Witnesses and Shincheonji Church. Survivors report child abuse, beatings, isolation, and psychological control. Ninety-five percent experienced psychological harm, with many facing shunning and harassment. Groups respond differently, with some avoiding debate and others denying claims. Some have significant revenues, raising concerns about charities becoming wealth builders. The inquirys final report is due in September.
