We’ve spoken on this show before about highly controlled religious groups before, but it has been more from the outside looking in.
This episode’s guest experience being born into just such a group and living in it for 20 years before being expelled simply for asking questions.
Lindy Jacomb is the founder of the Olive Leaf Network, a recently launched charity in New Zealand that supports former members of high-demand religious groups.
In this episode Lindy shares:
- About high controlled religious groups
- Her experience growing up in a high control religious group
- How the group appears to use technology to control its members
- The process she went through to realising she didn’t believe in the religion
- How she experienced shunning and was cut out of the community for asking questions
- How someone threw out a rope when she felt like she was drowning, even though her religion said they were evil
- How she is now helping others go through the process of leaving high cost situations.
- The importance of having the courage to make the choice to change
Key Quotes
“This whole thing is a construct of lies”
“It wasn’t an external force that took (my family) from me. They have actively chosen to be dead to me.”
“If anybody finds out I’m questioning the faith, I’m essentially socially dead.”
