Want to be a whistleblower? Exposing crime in the church. (Sunday, October 20, 2013)

In this week’s World Cult Watch, host Rob Robinson wants to hear about criminal activity that you may have observed in your church.  Don’t worry — if you’re concerned about being victimized for coming forward as a whistleblower, you can be totally anonymous when you call in.  Your phone number will not be recorded or reported.

Rob believes there are thousands of victims of crimes perpetrated by members of their faith and that these people are then re-victimized by their religious leaders, the very people they trust to protect them.  For instance, a woman who has suffered domestic abuse might approach her pastor, only to be told that it is God’s will for the abuse to occur and that she should not seek help from secular, government services.

Please call in if you know of any crimes being covered up by a church or religious organization. By exposing what is occurring, you can help stop injustice in religion.

World Cult Watch, a weekly program that airs every Sunday night, is intended to not only offer news and information about cults, but to provide a forum where cult survivors — and those wanting to leave — have a chance to talk and receive emotional support.

Rob runs the “World Cult Watch” website, offering insight and hard-hitting stories about the teachings of various abusive and authoritarian cults. In his show and website, Rob also offers comfort for ex-cult members struggling with the guilt, grief, anger and other emotions associated with spiritual abuse.
