Episode notes

It wasn't until I could see that Westboro itself Wasn't even consistent with itself that opened me to Outside information. The dumbest things are you know a seemingly these extremely small seemingly very petty things? But it's not the thing itself right it's not though. It's the fact that this this rule that is supposed to be coming from this divine and questionable authority Is being applied in a way that is very human and very very fallible.

In this episode we sit down with Megan Phelps-Roper, the author of Unfollow, a memoir of her time in Westboro Baptist Church, and an exploration what it took to convince her to leave. I interviewed Megan for my upcoming book, How Minds Change, and in this interview you will learn all about assimilation and accommodation, cult deprogrammers, and the steps Megan says one must take if they want to change someone's mind.
