b"On April 7th, 2018, more than a dozen former Word of Faith Fellowship members reunited at the Spindale House in Rutherford County, North Carolina.\\nIt was an opportunity for former members to answer lingering questions for the citizens in the community. But in reality, it was probably an event designed to make good television for the documentary crew filming the whole thing. When I walked into the room, I expected a small gathering with a few chairs. Instead, I counted 6 professional video cameras and crew to match it. It was a huge production. I soon learned that today\\u2019s community event was part of an upcoming A&E documentary series on the Word of Faith Fellowship. Each former member in the panel sat behind a microphone provided by the A&E crew. About 80 to 100 people were in attendance\\u2014including current members of the Word of Faith Fellowship. The room was tense.\\n\\nJohn Cooper, former Word of Faith Fellowship Former Members speaks about his experience with the Department of Social Services in Rutherford, County.\\n\\n\\nSurvivors speak out against Pastor Jane Whaley\\n\\nThis episode was especially hard to write because there were so many stories to tell. But there was one story that stood out more than the others. Former Word of Faith Fellowship member Jamey Anderson delivered an impassioned speech about leaving the church. He lamented about being cut off from his family and missing his own grandfather\\u2019s funeral. In the audience sat his mother with an emotionless expression on her face. You see, Jamey\\u2019s mother is still a member at the church and has cut all communication with her son. Jamey called her out and said, \\u201cI\\u2019m very happy to see that whatever I've done has motivated her to show up today. So it's at least good to see her.\\u201d\\n\\nJamey used his time behind the microphone to respond to his mother\\u2019s 30 minute YouTube video. In the video, his mother Patti, his grandmother Dot, and his step-sister Allison describe why they think Jamey\\u2019s a liar and justify why they have disowned him.\\n\\n\\n\\n---SUBSCRIBE---\\n\\nApple Podcasts\\n\\nGoogle Play\\n\\n\\xa0Stitcher\\n\\n\\xa0Spotify\\n\\n\\n\\n---PROMO---\\n\\nLet's Talk About Sects\\n\\nKillafornia Dreaming\\n\\n\\n\\n---MUSIC---\\n\\nThechicken.net\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
