Ep. 51 - Heaven's Gate Cult Was Never Cute - Sorry New Age Religion

It's 3rd Tuesday and that means cults are the topic. Matching Nike's are cute right? Mmmm, not when they're on 39 people in a mass suicide. New Age cults are today's focus, and they're not cute. I do want to scream that but I won't I promise. We're going to bring Dr. Lalich's book Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charasmatic Leaders. The details of what goes on in New Age cults is still largely misunderstood by the public. Even those who consider themselves informed do not often get it right. Let's straighten some things out. What does Jesus have to do with Marshall Applewhite? Were both leaders knowingly sick and avoiding doctors before the mass suicides? What type of control systems worked to keep the Heaven's Gate cult from dissolving? Find out more about Lalich at JanjaLalich.com, and Frankie Tease at frankietease.substack.com

New each Tuesday Mar. -Nov. In The Frankie Files, I use my time as an entertainment writer, my college radio and studies of voice over, as well as my own survival story to shed a light on cults, coercion, sexuality in society and the challenge they present in today's world for any of us who have successfully stayed alive. Especially the cult kids (aka adult children of cults).
