Cults, Sects & Belonging

In this week's episode of the Messy Truths Podcast, the ladies tackle the subject of religious sects and cults. From NXIVM (11:45) to the Nation of Islam (14:50), and from Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple (23:00) to the Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, the ladies discuss these groups, their charismatic leaders and their philosophies.

Nesha dives into women cult leaders (35:00) and the fact that their activities usually lean toward violence. Azar shares her interest in The Baháʼí Faith with the ladies (46:55). Then Nesha highlights some groups that are considered cults and are still active today, including the Church of Scientology (1:04:34).

Finally, the ladies examine how to know when you're in a cult, including trusting gut instincts, opposition to critical thinking, leaders with weak religious knowledge and credentials, and more (1:12:52).
