Rebecca Thiel Interview, People of Praise Cult Allegations
Democracy Now! interviewed Rebecca Thiel, a former member of People of Praise from the early 1980s, who described the group as a cult. Thiel alleged she experienced abuse and "shunning" after attempting to defy the group's leadership in Corvallis, Oregon. The hosts characterize this interview as a "dry run" for the upcoming confirmation hearings to paint Barrett's religious background in a negative light.
