#188 Worldwide Church of God Revisited
In this episode, I chat with Barbara about her experiences growing up in Herbert W Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God. We discuss the difficulties in committing to the church as well as supporting family outside of the movement. We discuss the topic of cult-hopping and the tragedy of spiritual, financial and physical abuse along with ex-communication and family alienation. The choices Barbara and her family had to make throughout her experiences were impossible.

Radio Free Mormon: 248: A Fathers’ Day Special Episode
I want to commemorate Fathers’ Day by playing some stories told by my father back in 2009 before his passing in 2011. And it’s not my fault if the majority of his stories seem to center around me.
I love you, Dad. I miss you. And I’m glad I got to have you for my father.
Happy Fathers’ Day, everyone!
