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.

Ep. 13: The IFB connection to the killing of Breonna Taylor Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Sadie and Gavri'el contextualize the new revelation that Johnathan Mattingly, one of the police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor, was an IFB member.
Disclaimer: We are not experts on police procedure, we are not experts on criminal law. Keep this in mind when listening to this episode. Additionally, some of what we talk about is either conjecture or speculation. It is based on cultural observations that we feel adequately qualified to make based on Sadie's experience and upbringing within the IFB. We are not here to argue the facts of this case. We are here to talk about the consequences of IFB culture overlapping with Police Departments.
