In this gripping episode of Behind the Headlines, host Dean Hoffmeyer is joined by public service journalism reporter Emily Hamer to delve into a series of investigative reports on a controversial religious community in Tucson, Arizona. The Golden Dawn Tabernacle, a church for the followers of William Branham's "The Message," faces allegations of cult-like behavior, abuse, and cover-ups.
Emily shares insights from her team's investigation into the church's practices, including strict rules for members, particularly women, and the disturbing reports of excommunication and family separation. She uncovers the dark history of a related trailer park commune in Prescott, Arizona, where children faced brutal punishment and abuse.
