In this eye-opening episode of Decult Talks, we hear from Laura Muir, a former member of the Korean Bible cult Shincheonji. Laura shares her personal experience and provides an in-depth look at the cult's recruitment tactics, shedding light on the psychological manipulation and strategies used to draw people in. 

This powerful presentation was recorded live at the first Decult Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand, and produced as a podcast by Plains Media. Tune in for a thought-provoking presentation that will challenge what you know about how cults operate in our communities.
