Listen to the interview here.
After years in the bizarre bubble of the COG/TFI, I've spent 16 years in adjustment and learning, always with the question looming larger in my mind, "Why?" In the hopes that my search for answers may help others on similar journeys, I have created this blog.
For my most recent posts, please follow me on Medium at Mary Mahoney.

Interview with Kurt Wallace
Mary Mahoney "sits down with Kurt Wallace to discuss a detailed account of being involved in the religious cult Children of God now called The Family International. She shares how at age 16 she was enticed into the organization. She explains the mind control and the eventual use of sex to control its members. She describes experiencing psychological tactics through information repetition, isolation, media control, conspiracy theories and the us versus them “specialism." Mahoney then details how she eventually was able to leave because of her son’s influence and the aftermath of cult deprogramming. Today she is spearheading an effort to inform people of the dangers of falling into cults based on the science of neurology, psychology and behavioral economics within belief systems."
