What is a cult? To many of us cults can be a point of mystery and confusion. One definition of a cult is a social group characterized by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals. Today on culture clique we speak with a former cult member, Elizabeth Perry. Elizabeth shares the isolation, confusion, and struggles she experienced, her eventual separation from her family and the healing that came with the world that was hidden from her. I’m Jiovani Bermudez, join us as we learn about growing up in a cult of religious extremist through the eyes of someone who’s lived through it on today’s Culture Clique.
