Mike and Abbi grew up going to something they called “the truth” or “the way” or sometimes it didn’t have a name at all. But it wasn’t a church. A church was something the other kids attended. They went to “meetings” at people’s houses and had leaders called “workers” who stayed with them.
After they got married and left the religion, or whatever it was, they felt isolated from friends and family, which was understandable — they, too, had broken contact with people who left when they were in it. They felt bad about that, though, and started a support group for other people who walked away from what they now called the 2X2s.
That’s when things started to go wild. A posted letter on their support group’s Facebook page about sexual abuse in the 2X2s (now the preferred name by survivors of the organization) gave way to an avalanche of more disturbing information. It rocked their world. And then the FBI got involved.
Join us for a conversation with Mike about how this all went down.
