Episode 2 of the new season dropped today with a super interesting discussion about the church Amanda attended before she was disfellowshipped. Below, she talks about why people in her group embraced some of the disturbing ideas they spouted.
The church Amanda grew up in was started by a man known for his ejection from the KKK for being too militant. The tight and secretive community that revolved around the church valued white supremacy, male dominance, and obedience.
Amanda had a lot of questions. A girl with questions wasn’t valued in this community. Neither were women who wore pants or got educations. She did a lot of things that made her congregation mad, including learning how to not be racist.
This episode contains discussions of racism and child abuse, so listen with care. Find it wherever you get your podcasts.
