I watch the series, The Secrets of Hillsong and give my thoughts on it and more general Hillsong notes.

Are the two docs carbon copies or are they actually distinct from each other? Where does this one fall short? Listen and find out!

Because I'm sick, I won't be releasing episodes next week, or today.

I'll hopefully have an episode on the 22nd. And i might start to release 1 episode a week. Two is a lot!

Many weeks ago I gave my vague recollections of the Discovery+ documentary, Hillsong: A MegaChurch Exposed.

Disorganized and melodramatic, it leaves a lot to be desired. It does cover some information I was unaware of, like the fact that Hillsong has a college?? I also added new commentary on my old commentary after re-watching the doc to see if i was being fair or not to it.

Again, apologies for misspeaking a few times in this episode. Brian Houston failed to report Frank Houston. Frank Houston was a serial molester. Frank Houston was a pastor but never worked for Hillsong. Brian founded Hillsong. Frank is Brian's father.

Was ill, didn't record anything. :( I'll be back on Tuesday!

I give my two cents on The Vow Season 2, my reactions to others' thoughts on The Vow, give you a primer on the subject of the documentary series (NXIVM, pronounced Nexium), and give you alternatives to watching The Vow (or supplementary material, whatever you want).

Thanks to @BonniemPiesse for allowing me to use her music at the end of the episode. Check out her music on Spotify. (Or her acting on the Obi Wan Kenobi TV series)

Listen to the conclusion of Max's story of life on the run, and his thoughts on cults, and on his parents' experiences. #osho #rajneesh

Read Tim Guest's book: My Life in Orange.

This episode is part one of an interview with Max from OTC podcast (@OTCKink on Instagram) about his childhood experience in the Rajneesh commune. It ends on a cliffhanger. Get ready for a story I'm willing to bet you've not heard the likes of before!

Who was Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh? What did he teach, and what happened at the commune he created in Oregon? Megan covers all this, and teases the next episode which is an interview with a person who lived in the town of Rajneesh right outside the commune. The interview isn't coming out today (Thursday) but the next release date (Tuesday). Sorry i didn't get this up on Tuesday, I was having surgery on my mouth. :(
