Leaving Eden Podcast

An Ex-Fundie, Deconstruction, and Cult podcast as told by cult survivor Sadie Carpenter, with her co-host Gavi HaCohen. This podcast covers Sadie’s cult, (The Independent Fundamental Baptist church), other cults, (including Jonestown and the Branch Davidians), cult-related media (including reality TV shows and documentaries like The Duggars/19 Kids and Counting, Shiny Happy People, Welcome to Plathville, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), famous fundamentalist and fundie influencers, other religions, and the real and present threat that cults and cult ideologies pose to society as a whole. Our goal is to promote freedom of mind, freedom of thought, and freedom of religion.

Show notes

In this episode, we continue our deconstruction of revelation and finally get to the seven seals and the seven trumpet judgements. Sadie realizes that hell is not actually a "bottomless pit" and that "bottomless pit" appears nowhere in the Bible outside of the King James Version.

Show notes

On today's episode, Chad Harris (AKA Archraddish) discusses growing up as an IFB/IBLP missionary in Belgium and The Netherlands, and traveling around the US asking IFB churches for support. We discuss the particular stresses that this life puts on a child, and the systemic and explicit racism that perpetuates these missions organizations.
