YWAM vs. Stanford Prison Experiment
from YWAM Deconstructed
John and Jenny explore how the Stanford Prison Experiment helps explain the psychology of cults, high-control religious groups, and authoritarian Christianity. Drawing from lived experience, trauma counseling, and historical research, they unpack how ordinary people can be conditioned to enforce humiliation, obedience, and control under spiritual authority. The conversation connects forced confession, information control, moral injury, and fear-based leadership to movements such as Branhamism and Youth With A Mission, showing how power structures reshape conscience, identity, and empathy. This episode offers clarity for survivors of spiritual abuse and practical insight into what healthy, non-coercive community actually looks like. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
