Jennifer and Kristin Watson, both raised in the IFB/IFB cult environment, discuss the extreme control and purity culture placed on girls—no voice or autonomy but full responsibility for men’s “stumbling”—and how that created impossible standards and identity loss. Kristin explains being taught she was sinful from birth and believing she was “evil” after leaving, then slowly rebuilding her identity by reclaiming femininity, dancing, and returning to figure skating, which she once surrendered at youth camp under pressure. She describes rigid rules and surveillance at Crown College, public shaming, political indoctrination, and how she and Nick fell in love, were nearly disciplined, and ultimately ran away at 19. Excommunication, family severance, vindictive retaliation, and years of survival followed. They reflect on evolving beliefs (agnostic/humanist) and Kristin’s nonprofit work supporting single parents as a way to break the cycle and lead with love. #cult #religiouscult #IFB

DID PAUL STEAL THE GOSPEL? 😱 | The Unholier Podcast

Is the Christianity you know based on Jesus... or a Roman cover-up?

This week on The Unholier Podcast, Jenny sits down with Paul from RealGoodNews.org for an explosive conversation that dismantles 2,000 years of church tradition. If you’ve ever felt like the "Red Letters" of Jesus don’t match the rest of the Bible, this episode is your wake-up call.

We’re diving deep into the historical feud between Paul the Apostle and James (Jesus’ actual brother). Was the early church hijacked? Why does the God of the Old Testament seem so different from the Jesus of the New Testament? From the "genocide" in Numbers 31 to the forged letters in your Bible, we aren’t holding back.

🔍 Inside the Episode:

• The Great Hijack: Why modern churches prioritize Paul’s letters over Jesus’ direct teachings.
• The Nazarene Conflict: The hidden battle between Paul and the Jerusalem Church led by James.
• Bible or Propaganda? A look at Roman councils, human-authored forgeries, and factual contradictions.
• Blood Atonement vs. Repentance: Why the "pagan" idea of blood sacrifice might be overshadowing Jesus’ true message of love.
• Christ Consciousness: What it really means when Jesus says, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you."

🌟 About Our Guest:

Paul is the founder of RealGoodNews.org, a community dedicated to deconstructing traditional dogma to find the authentic message of the historical Jesus. He offers coaching and resources for those seeking spiritual "oneness" outside the walls of organized religion.

Host Jenny Smith & Guest Host from Surviving-ISH Podcast David Keck introduce Kirsten, a psychic medium and healer who owns Revive Wellness Spa & Studio in Flushing, Michigan, and discuss her appearances on the Un-Holier podcast. Kirsten explains that everyone has intuition, how to distinguish gut guidance from ego-based fear, and how dreams can bring guidance, including premonitions, color vs black-and-white dreams, and the difference between astral travel and lucid dreaming. She shares views on past lives, recurring phobias, déjà vu, dimensions and vibration, and the ideas of “Earth school” vs “Earth hospital,” soul contracts, and how trauma can heighten psychic abilities. The group also covers signs from loved ones (like finding dimes), protection practices, dealing with curses via “return to sender,” boundaries in readings, tarot vs oracle cards, and plans to do a future live group reading. #tiktoklive #YouTube #psychicenergy #medium
