Cults to Consciousness

Thanks for being here! This will be a discussion page for cults, consciousness and everything in between. Episodes posted weekly on YouTube! Hi!
(1)

A safe place for people to connect and heal from traumas in high demand groups. Stories of claiming independence after leaving high-control groups & people. I’m Shelise Ann Sola— former devout Mormon. On C2C, my husband Jonathan and I dive deep into the nuance of cultic organizations and coercive manipulators. We are not anti-religious, but anti-abuse, and shed light in dark places to bring compas

sion, understanding and accountability. From FLDS Polygamy, Mormonism, Amish, Scientology, Extreme Christian Fundamentalism, Radical Islam, and Self Help, to the cults featured in popular TV docu-series, we interview survivors, advocates, authors, and more. Together we discover how our guests find independence and healing through awareness and true individual sovereignty.

C2C fam! We need your suggestions! We’re ready to schedule our next panel! Is there a particular topic or group you’d like to see a panel on?

C2C Fam! BRING YOUR QUESTIONS and Join us LIVE today at 6p PST on YouTube with , a former fundamental Evangelical Pentecostal Pastor who graduated bible college and spent a total of 30 years of his life teaching and preaching the stories in the Bible. 17 years of which were spent preaching in a church he started himself, which grew to 300 followers. Timmy and his congregation believed he was a conduit of God, as well as a “Healing Evangelist” who could save you from illness, as well as teach you how to speak in tongues, and interpret the meaning.

Ironically, his “pursuit of truth” lead him to walk away from the Evangelical Christian faith he once held so near and dear to his heart. Timmy now feels he used to be a cult leader. After an initial open and honest conversation, today we further dive into his reflections and regrets during his time as a Pastor. See you later today!

UPDATE!!! Mormon Bishop Exposed for Years of Sexually Abusing His Daughter” CHARGED!

“Police and federal authorities had been searching for John Goodrich after a grand jury in Williamsburg on Jan. 17 found probable cause that he committed four felonies, including r**e by force, threat or intimidation, forcible so**my, and two counts of felony aggravated s*xual battery by a parent of a child.” (via AP article linked in stories)

He had been running from the police for almost 3 weeks and the US Marshalls and FBI were tasked to help find him, before he took the advice of his attorneys and turned himself in.

A statement from Chelsea Goodrich (our guest, daughter of John and survivor of abuse) about his arrest:

“I hope this case will finally bring justice for my childhood s*xual abuse by John Goodrich. The case in Idaho was handled there by the former Mtn. Home Deputy Prosecutor, in a manner which has been described as “unconscionable” by multiple attorneys and law enforcement involved. I’m grateful it appears that the Commonwealth of Virginia is taking one event of child s*xual assault more seriously than years of repeated assaults were treated in Idaho.

The Idaho case was also closed with prejudice, which is almost unheard of with such a case. So Virginia is my last chance for criminal justice, and for John Goodrich to be a registered s*x offender, so other children can be better protected against him.

I ask that the former Stake President who John Goodrich confessed to in 1999 about his s*xual abuse of me, come forward as a witness about his knowledge of my abuse. This confession was not long after John assaulted me in Virginia.

I ask that Bishop Michael Miller come forward as a witness to what John Goodrich confessed to him in 2015 about his s*xual abuse of me, including what happened on the 1999 field trip. John told Miller the assault on that trip took place in D.C., but it actually was in Virginia, where there also happens to be no statute of limitations on the crime.

I ask that anyone—from the LDS Church’s Helpline or otherwise—with knowledge of John’s s*xual abuse of me as a child, please come forward and tell the truth. (Cont. In comments)

GOING LIVE at 6pm pst tonight on the YouTube with .hendrickson

Led by the currently incarcerated prophet Warren Jeffs, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have strict rules and one major part of their doctrine is the practice of polygamy.

The women who are often assigned and married off at a young age, are forced to bear as many children as possible. Warren took it upon himself to separate mothers and fathers from their children at astonishing rates.

We will discuss with Ceci Hendrickson (a former polygamist wife and mother) all of the ways they suffered in the FLDS.

Live on YouTube

Also find Ceci’s full interview and episode there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! C2C community— 2023 was one hell of a year! For context: we started our YouTube journey in July of 2022… so just completed our first year and a half, and with 155k subscribers! What’s even crazier is exactly 1 year ago, on January 1st 2023, we were at 6k subscribers, having grown by over 149k this year alone!

In 2023 we kept our heads down and stayed true to our mission as a channel to interview and platform as many survivors as possible, and this type of growth has shown us that we’ve done something right.

Although we have a baby on the way (coming in March!) in 2024 we’re ready to grow C2C even more. Both Shelise and I are now officially “full time YouTubers” as they say, so we’re going all in on expanding the channel’s reach. From building out a team, starting a non profit, and growing outside of YouTube, to honing in on better communication with you, the viewers, we have ideas as to how we can get as many eyes as possible on these stories, to continue to spread as much awareness as possible, and grow our beloved community of advocacy.

Whether you love learning more about cults, use these success stories as inspiration, were a cult survivor yourself, or watch because you relate in any way— your continued support of the channel in watching, commenting, sharing, donating on Patreon, purchasing merch, sending direct messages of support, has ALL helped us on our mission, which in turn helps many many others. So THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts.

PS. Thank you for filling out the last poll! We received over 10k votes. We realize the importance of these polls in helping us understand you, and the type of stories that you want to hear and plan to do more!

We are back! “Abandoned with 20+ Kids: The Reality of a PLURAL WIFE in the FLDS”

At only 17 years old, .hendrickson was assigned to become a plural wife and instant mother to 5 children before having her own child 5 months later. She then became 1 of 5 plural wives in this Fundamentalist Latter Day Saint (polygamous Mormon break off) community led by Warren Jeffs who is now in prison for CSA. Warren had a tendency to separate families for seemingly no reason and one night, she was told her husband and the other 4 wives were being sent away to “repent”, leaving the 20+ kids solely in her care.

“Children of God S*X CULT: My Grandfather Was the Founding Prophet (ft. )

Raised primarily in rural China, Faith Jones went a myriad of ab*ses before finally escaping The Children of God cult to pursue higher education. The cult is known for its far too liberal views on s*xuality which ended up being forced polyamory and free love, even extending to the young members of the communes.

She grew up singing on the streets or performing in restaurants to make money for “the family” as none of the adults had jobs. Once she left, she was able to become a lawyer and now speaks on the moral principles that primarily focus on the property rights of self. She’s written two books which you can find on her website faithjones.com

I’m behind on posting these, BUT still good in case someone hasn’t been on YouTube lately.
***Content Warning CSA***

“Mormon Bishop Exposed for Years of S*xually Abusing His Daughter, Chelsea Goodrich”

After years of committing CSA with his own daughter, Mormon bishop John Goodrich confessed his sins to a higher authority called the Stake President. However, the information was never passed to his wife, Chelsea’s mother, or the authorities, and the CSA continued. Years later, Chelsea confided in her mother about what had happened in her childhood which led to a series of more unfortunate events. We go into depth about her hardships and confusion after deconstructing these traumatizing events which led to a court case against her father. Would the LDS church step up and help defend Chelsea Goodrich?
