A cult by any other name is still a cult and this so-called religion fits the bill. This group caught my attention when an article came across my news feed about a religious group running its own school in the U.K. that was trying to get charity tax status. The article at the Daily Mail was talking about some of the harsh rules that these kids live under and some of the penalties for infraction of these rules. One teenaged girl was shut up (placed in solitary home confinement) for 37 days, just for making a Facebook page. Students at the school, as well as all parishioners, are not allowed to use the internet, watch television, read the newspapers or use cell phones to contact anyone outside the faith. They call us Worldlies and they are not even allowed to share a meal with us, even family members that are not of the "church". Like many cults, if you leave the fold, you are excommunicated and forbidden contact with any one inside, including spouse, parents or children. And like most cults, excommunication is less about rehabilitation and more about punishment as this short video shows,,,
Exclusive Bretheren – A hereditary religious cult. | WORLD CULT WATCH
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
