#316: The Rise of the Apostates (Academia vs. Former Cult Members)

from Speaking of Cults · host Chris Shelton

This week is the beginning of a slightly new direction in my fight against cults and what may end up being a fight I continue into the future. That battle is against the outright refusal on the part of certain important social sciences and scholars to listen to or even consider the testimonials and information provided by former cult members such as myself, resulting in cult disinformation being propagated throughout academia. I feel this is important enough to share with everyone because I believe it affects everyone and is directly related to Scientology as well as a number of other high-control group. I did my best to make this interesting and I hope I succeeded. Enjoy! Papers I cited in this show: Kent and Swanson paper on apostates Seeing Apostates Clearly by Michael Thorne The post Sensibly Speaking Podcast #316: The Rise of the Apostates appeared first on The Sensibly Speaking Podcast.
