*Researched Essay* It's 1st Tuesday, and that means the topic is coercion. Human trafficking is one of the most prevalent and destructive forms of coercion to hit children and adults in the United States. It wasn't even made illegal until 2000. What? Yeah. Most people have a lot of ideas about what trafficking is but cannot recognize it while it's happening. Here, I outline how it may be in your own backyard (hint: it is) and what ...

It's 4th Tuesday, time to talk about adult children of cults. From Children of God, the Family International, let's review the story of Davidito. "I've fainted in my mind and I can't find the smelling salts to wake up" Davidito aka Ricky Rodriguez stated on a video before his murder suicide. Dito made a video in 2005 before his last acts on earth. He wanted to make a statement for all the abused children in Children of God, the Fam...

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 t...

It's 4th Tuesday and the third part of this series (ep. 46,47,48) on Morningland Church aka Morningland Corporation founded in 1973. It is in its 50th year and many are concerned about that. In this interview a very very early Morningland member and friend to the founder of ex-Morninglanders.com tells us what he experienced. It's about to get really really weird. Out of body weird. So - you ready for this? The occult journey as...

The Morningland Papers. 3rd Tuesday means cult news and today is a whopper. Many people who have belonged to Morningland Church (now called the Monastery or Morningland Community) over the last 50 years (yeah they are 50 this year), have wondered what happened the day that the male half of the founding married couple died in Crestline, California at the church's resort lodge. Press had been told Dan Sperato got a flat tire who were...

Our 4th Tuesday is always about adult children of cults and today we will focus on a cult kid who grew up as 3rd generation (his parents and grandparents) Jehovah's Witness. Blood guilt, the apocalypse, the 144,000, the founders and leaders, his family's timeline after three decades of the life, are some of what we are offered by the very well-spoken fella holding both a BSc Psychology and MSc Organizational Psychology.

Taken from our live stream, this abbreviated report provides essentials on what this new age religious movement is, taking place now on a Texas ranch, and on a doomsday clock watch.

It's second Tuesday and that means the topic is sexuality, of course, in a cult. Our guest spent years in a sex cult recently and lived to tell the story. He does not consider himself a victim, but has some harrowing tales to show for it. His views on sexuality are spiritually based and I wondered what were the pros and cons of the orgasmic meditation the group taught in line with founder Nicole Daedone's vision. It expanded into a...

When I read my own words about my own experience and it was solid - real - not vague memories or imaginations... there was no turning back, after that I began the podcast because I had things to say now. I have so much ore to say now.


If you are a cult kid, start with the timeline. 


But if you are a surivor of any kind and are thinking of writing it - just for you at first- or even always- if you're considering writing y...

Top Cult Stories of 2022 by Frankie Files Podcast, host Frankie Tease


During the year, we saw trials, convictions, documentaries, news articles, tell-all books, and some awareness raised that politics breeds cults too. The UK began implementing laws on coercion, and in New York they lifted the statute of limtations making all sexual crimes fair game for a year, in a social experiment.
