First, the CWC gals talk to us about their fancy weekend together, give a PSA to hipster jerks attending all-ages events, and announce a LIVE show here in Portland this April! Both hosts struggle to characterize their groups this week. Is it a cult? Is a fringe group? Is it just a charismatic leader? Allie brings us some details about the Bethel Church of Redding, California, which is really giving their janitor David a hard time and we simply can’t get over it.MK is equally baffled in discussing the story of teachers in Connecticut who were sued after “brainwashing* three sisters into joining their “cult” -- but frankly, nobody knows enough but it is wildly confusing. Even after reading the 70-page lawsuit, Meagan is uncertain of what to think. BUT -- we know we’ve got some unstable adults in the mix! (You can read about the lawsuit here: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/23/parents-high-school-daughters-cult-indoctrination_n_5381240.html ) - We want to thank our #PodernFamily buddies at Marble Orchard for contributing their promo to us!
