The Cult Next Door

In Episode 31 of The Cult Next Door Podcast, titled "Cloaks of Humility," hosts Mattie and Ashleigh are joined once again by former Crusade Church member Michael "Sandy" Sandow. Sandy recounts the early days of "The Love Move" and the increasingly uncomfortable positions that members found themselves in as the movement gained momentum.
The episode delves into the cult leader's insistent push for "The Love Move," urging members to disregard appearances and embrace a new level of physical intimacy that the church had previously condemned. Claiming to receive divine visions, the leader implored members to take up their spiritual "Cloaks of Humility" and suppress their intuition and any growing doubts about the true nature of The Love Move.
Through riveting excerpts from the leader's written messages to the church and his family, the episode vividly illustrates the depths of conditioning and control exerted over the congregation."Cloaks of Humility" sheds light on the manipulative tactics used to disguise control as selfless devotion, providing a compelling and eye-opening account of life within Crusade Church.
