Summary

To keep continuing our education into Faith Manipulation, we speak to Sabrina Bowen who grew up Jehovah's Witness in a religiously Pro MLM home where her mother was the town's Avon Lady. After 3 failed attempts at various MLMs, it wasn't until years later, that she even realized what she had been a part of and connected the commercial cult experience to her time in JW.'s. Thanks to an episode on A Little Bit Culty that opened her eyes to the red flags she had hidden for so long, Sabrina reached out to me to chat about AmeriPlanUSA, an MLM that even I wasn't familiar with the claims to be "Not like the others".
