A Sinister Look into the Controlling IFB Church ft. Preacher Boys Podcast

Cults to Consciousness

Mar 6 2024 • 1 hr 24 mins

The cult doc “Let Us Prey” on HBO, highlights the issues within the high control religious group Independent Fundamental Baptist, of which Eric was a part of. From the covering up of predatory behavior of the leaders, to extreme patriarchal control which blames victims and breeds perpetrators, Eric walks us through what his life was like being isolated in this group until his adult years. Which eventually led him and his wife to belong to another cult like group!
