Tim Elliott reports on Twelve Tribes in AUS + his new podcast

Now streaming everywhere Ep. 45 on Twelve Tribes ft. Tim Elliot AUS

It's 1st Tuesday which means it's time to talk about coercion. This story delivered by a pro Sr. Investigative Journalist from Australia for The Sydney Morning Herald Tim Elliott.(https://www.smh.com.au/by/tim-elliott-hvekq). His new project is streaming live - it's called "Inside the Tribe" and follows Mark and Rose who were treated to a lengthy recruitment, love bombing and indoctrination until their distraught exit. The stories hold the key here on how this trafficking happens under the guise of spirituality. Elliott's tuning fork is a beacon for coercive cults after years of research. Please take a moment to find out about this award winning writer and author. Enjoy the episode about his new podcast "Inside the Tribe", his 15 years as a writer and how 12 Tribes compares to the horror film Midsomar.

Ep. 44 ~ How a Baby Saved her Jehovah's Witness  Family From a Doomsday Cult

Our 4th Tuesday is always about adult children of cults and today we will focus on Stephen Mather, a cult kid who grew up as 3rd generation (his parents and grandparents) Jehovah's Witness. Blood guilt, the apocalypse, the 144,000, the founders and leaders, his family's timeline after three decades of the life, are some of what we are offered by the very well-spoken fella holding both a BSc Psychology and MSc Organizational Psychology. Mather is a podcaster and researcher into the psychology of high control groups otherwise known as cults. Leadership and management development trainer and coach. For more see culthackers.com a podcast about understanding cults hosted by Stephen and his daughter Celine, who he saved from that life by prevention.

Ep. 42 One Taste, Orgasmic Meditation,  Netflix Doc Guest Ruwan Meepagala 

It's second Tuesday and that means the topic is sexuality, of course, in a cult. Our guest spent years in a sex cult recently and lived to tell the story. He does not consider himself a victim, but has some harrowing tales to show for it. His views on sexuality are spiritually based and I wondered what were the pros and cons of the orgasmic meditation the group taught in line with founder Nicole Daedone's vision. It expanded into a variety of locations stemming from its San Francisco, California base, and Ruwan was in the New York location. Happy Valentine's Day, why not talk about a wellnes sex corporation to celebrate? Learn about our guest's podcast and counseling at Ruwando.com

Frankie Files Ssn 2 Ep. 42 - Doubling Down on Adult Children of Cults

Season 2, Ep. 42 ~ Doubling Down on Adult Children of Cults

When I read my own words about my own experience and it was solid - real - not vague memories or imaginations... there was no turning back, after that I began the podcast because I had things to say now. I have so much more to say now.

If you are a cult kid, start with the timeline.

But if you are a surivor of any kind and are thinking of writing it - just for you at first- or even always- if you're considering writing your story - writing your trauma, be prepared for it to change you.

In my first podcast episode I said to you listeners, I need you with me on this journey. I really do. I want to share what this whole experience is like, it's not easy by any means.

Who's been listening and calling in, writing into Frankie Files Podcast? What are the subjects coming in season two?

Frankie is revved up and ready for another experiential season. Hear what is new...

Dr. Tamara MC PhD 

For the finale' of our Live Reddit Talks done in Oct., Nov., Dec., 2022, a well-travelled educator on her topics has the last word. The child bride and forced child sex connection of multiple guests I've had is referenced such as her work on the review on Ms. Magazine of Daniella M. Young's new memoir Uncultured, or the connection to activist on the legal front against child marriage Sara Tasneem - a 2022 guest. So many parallels young people have who lived through sex cults. It is all imperative in hearing the voices of the survivors. This one a Dr. of Sociology and world traveller of 77 countries and counting. Here is our final Live Talk before we launch Season 2 of Frankie Files Podcast.
