Part 2. Exposing The Wilds - Tabitha Frady
from Beyond BJU: Exposing Fundamentalism
In part two, Tabitha Frady returns to recount her experiences at Bethany Baptist Church and its affiliated Christian camp, The Wilds, in North Carolina. Starting work at the camp at 14, Tabitha endured grueling work conditions, poor nutrition, and inadequate compensation. The discussion reveals the camp's regimented schedule, indoctrination practices, and emotional manipulation, including sleep deprivation, fear-based preaching, and forced confessions. Flawed counseling training and mishandling of abuse reports further exemplify a culture of exploitation and control. Through sharing her story, Tabitha seeks to encourage others who suffered at The Wilds to come forward.
