In the upcoming episode of "How to Leave a Cult," I'm joined by David, a former cult member whose story is both unique and deeply compelling. David and his wife initially found solace in practices like Transcendental Meditation and Rebirthing, which brought them positive experiences and a sense of peace. However, these very practices led them to the doors of the cult, where they were drawn in by charismatic leaders, Trina and Steven.

David shares his emotional journey of joining the cult, leaving, and then rejoining years later, all while grappling with the influence of the ministers he once admired. When the cult's leaders turned his wife against him, David felt trapped, unable to leave as she distanced herself from him. Their situation became even more dire when one of the ministers resorted to physical abuse, prompting them to finally flee together.

This episode sheds light on the power of manipulation, the challenges of breaking free, and the complex interplay between spiritual practices and cult influence. Tune in for an insightful conversation about resilience, love, and the struggle to reclaim one's life.
