In a monthslong investigation,
HuffPost spoke with 27 people connected to the church and school,
including former students, employees, congregants and community members
to uncover stories of a religious leader who spent years psychologically
abusing and systematically estranging students from their families. He
forced some students to go by new names and fast weekly. He convinced
their parents to abandon them. And one incident, caught on tape, divided
the church community and led to a police investigation.
And over the years, those who say Manning abused them have watched as the pastor’s celebrity has grown.
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.
