Listen to discretion is advised.

Now please enjoy the show.

Don't drink the cool. For the purposes of this podcast we define a cult as organizations that rally behind an entity or leader who espouse beliefs outside the norm organizations that report that follow

by the leaders are different than that of the followers. Organizations in which isolation is encouraged

either by commune living or by a policy of disconnection

from outside relationships.

And organizations that actively recruit new members.

All cults might have some or all of these

traits and as always these are our opinions. Thank you for tuning into cult

podcast I'm Paige Wesley and I'm Armando Torres and with us we have Andrea

Gazeta yay we're gonna actually record an episode this time yeah we're gonna do it

yeah we did a bonus episode that I'm pretty sure is going to come out tomorrow.

Hopefully I can get that done for us. So today, oh boy, it's my week.

It's our Mondo's week. And I am covering the family of David and its leader, Emmanuel David.

So, oh man, this is going to be kind of a doozy, but just stick with it. I think it's a super interesting story. So before we get any further, I want to go with my sources. My sources for today's episode are the

foundation for economic education, the historical overview of mental illness

treatment by Concordia St. Paul University.

The Shiloh Hotel, an article by History Goes Bump.

Which I thought at first was a weird porn site, not a weird porn site.

No, I've actually been on History Goes B bump before because that's where I find out about all the places in Pasadena that are haunted.

Oh, yeah.
