The newest Generation Cult episode is out now! In Season 4’s Episode 6, we chat with Hilary, who grew up as a radical reliant Christian Scientist. This meant her family avoided medical intervention in favor of prayer to try to cure ailments. She lived to talk about it, but others weren’t so lucky.
Below is a short clip from the show, but you can find the entire thing on your favorite podcast platform, including YouTube.
As an adult, Hilary became an atheist and started her own Leaving Christian Science Podcast on YouTube.
Join us to talk about the history of this group, which is primarily made up of families who have stayed connected to it since its early days. We’ll also discuss the medical neglect of children and how much pressure church members have experienced in the past to avoid doctors. While this appears to be changing, elderly members still tied to the belief system continue to suffer as they age and fall ill.
