Victims of a Christian Cult in North Carolina Will Speak Out in New A&E Series
By Hemant Mehta, October 10, 2018

Word of Faith Fellowship is a notorious church in Spindale, North Carolina where the congregation has beaten a gay member to get rid of his “homosexual demons,” shaken babies to banish their demons, used Brazilian worshipers as slaves, and committed unemployment fraud so worshipers would keep tithing. The church also controlled the sex lives of its congregation, including married couples (30-minute limit. No foreplay. No lights. Only missionary).

For years now, Associated Press reporter Mitch Weiss and others have been documenting the leader of that church, Jane Whaley, as well as speaking with survivors of their abuse.

Now the church and its victims will be the subjects of a new six-part documentary on A&E called The Devil Next Door. A brief trailer was just released online and notes the show will premiere on November 27.

The show is part of a deal signed by former 20/20 host Elizabeth Vargas, who will produce the series, and will be part of a new block of programming on the network called “A&E Investigates.”

"The Devil Next Door" a seemingly apropos title IM(everso)HO.

1. Respect!

I'm sure they will show this religious group the same respect they show all other cults, because religious beliefs are to be honored.

2. An atheist group in Boston put flaming dog poo on an old lady's doorstep.

So what about that, huh?

3. "What About"?...

...wow, such deep thought and analysis on your part. You overwhelm me with your acumen and ability to rhetorically dissect.

From here on out, any argument you present here on DU religion should be accepted as an absolute and without criticism.

I bow to the superiority of your person and beliefs.

Oh and... OFF

4. And AoR hosts the A&A forum.

Alrighty then.

5. Dont worry Duppers...

...I was merely going meta on AoR's initial sarcasm. We're all friends here, except for maybe the few fiends kicking about.

6. Thanks! I'm irony-deficient sometimes.

7. A "church" started by a used-car salesman in a now-dying town of population less than 5000.
