We are living in some of the most divisive times in our lives. How we talk to one another and address each other’s beliefs and ideas has everything to do with how long these divisions will continue, or whether they will escalate into real world violence. Anthony Magnabosco has been featured on my channel before as a proponent of “street epistemology” – perhaps the single most effective technique for rationally and calmly discussing hot topic items with others. Please watch this video and comment on whether it is useful or helpful to you.

This week, former Mormon Jonathan Streeter and former Jehovah’s Witness Lloyd Evans and I reunite as the Three Apostates to discuss the cult control techniques that are used to retain members. We compare and contrast the sayings, methods and social controls across our former groups such as how members are made to feel they’ll fail if they leave the cult, etc.

This week I am joined by Daniel Shaw, an expert on narcissism and cult recovery who has his own story to tell and then answers a lot of questions about how narcissism manifests itself, where it likely comes from and how we can be aware of narcissistic characteristics in those we meet.

This week, my wife Melissa and I engage in a very personal discussion about depression, anxiety and mental illness in general. We talk about what it’s like to live with and experience these, Scientology attitudes about this and the role of psychiatry in the past and present, how others react badly to mental issues and what people can do differently.

This week, my wife Melissa and I have a fairly informal discussion about the topic of rights in our world, specifically human rights and civil rights.
