O' god or something like him

Lily Cat on Stuff – February 24th, 2007 – 12PM- 2PM
The Religion I was raised with ….
Interviews with:
-- Tony raised Jehovah's Witnesses,
--Raina Bird raised in the ‘Community’ – a cult run by a fat, bald man, who had 9 wives and thought he was a divinity,
---and via phone Kyria Abrahams writing a memoir about growing up as a Jehovah's Witnesses called "I'm Perfect, You’re Doomed"

It was an amazing show I learned so much about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the ‘cummunity’, and cults in general. We covered both the bad, strangem and good of both religions; and talked people’s need for community which often leads them to follow various religions and cults.

The Jehovah's Witnesses – don’t like their followers making friends outside the religion, are anti – masturbation and blood transfusions

The ‘Community’ had their followers wear white, meditate a lot, was against sex for his followers, but for sex for himself (often with his followers), and had his followers name their children stuff like “Nova” and “Bagel”

We played:
“My own Personal Jesus” – Bomb
“Jesus got High” – Budderball
“Kiss my Son of God” – They might be Giants
“He, Rodger Williams“ - Slim Cessna’s Auto Club
