53 - The Six Purposes of Marriage: Completeness
from The Cult I Left Behind · host Amanda & Kyle Briggs
As Kyle puts it, this episode is all about "connecting with your spouse through abstinence." Join us as we talk about Bill Gothard's view on completeness in marriage and how not eating and not having sex play a big role. We also answer some listener questions about how to talk to people you know who are still in a cult, why the word "encouragement" was such a popular adjective for women in the cult, how the cult viewed salvation and if you could lose it, the Cook County States Attorney who was in office during the case against Amanda's brother, and programs men in the cult used for accountability. Kyle asks Amanda his own question about how the IBLP cult viewed the book of Revelations and the end times and gets a pretty gruesome response that reminds Amanda why she needed so much therapy as an adult.
