Rolling river of time, you've healed me in too many days.

0:15.4

No regrets, no confusion, there'll be no pollution. I'm so thankful I've decided to change my ways

0:29.1

are we gearing up for a Duggers versus Caldwell's legal battle uh we're going to talk about that

0:36.9

today that's what we're going to be discussing yeah Sadie's groaning about it because she doesn't want to deal. I don't want to deal with this either. But here we are. This is the Leaving Eden podcast. Sadie Carpenter is your host. She was raised Fundy. She is out now. Look at her hair. It's purple. She's clearly not Fundy. But she used to be. And now she is a cult expert. My name's Gavi Ha Cohen. On this show, we talk about fundamentalism, cults, religion. We dig deep into the nitty, gritty details on a philosophical, operational, theological level. So if that's what you want, hit that subscribe button. You can also join our Patreon where you will get the episodes early.

And by early, I mean as soon as I'm done editing them, patrons also get longer episodes.

1:18.2

And the versions of the episodes that they get are also, you know, they have bonus content.

1:23.2

2:05.7

This is the system that does it.

2:07.4

Right.

2:27.6

Like, it makes sense because it makes sense is something I say a lot on the show.
