Episode notes
Jean Spriggs' Overt Biblical Racism
- Jean Spriggs' teachings were explicitly racist and hateful toward black people, unlike some other Jesus movement sects.
- He justified slavery and racial hierarchy through biblical interpretations without covert language or excuses.
Doctrine Justifying Black Slavery
- The 12 Tribes believe black people are cursed to be slaves due to the sin of Cham, stemming from a biblical story.
- This justified obedience and subservience as a moral duty for black descendants in their doctrine.
Support Instead of Confrontation
- Don't fight cult members aggressively over beliefs once deeply in.
- Instead, keep communication open so they know support exists if they choose to leave.
