Tyler Deaton Cult: A Survivor’s Story, Part 1
Published By admin with Comments 0
How did a once vibrant 27-year-old woman end up dead in a van with a plastic bag over her head and a suicide note by her side? Did Bethany Deaton really take her life, or was she murdered? And how did the abusive and perverse cult her husband led go unnoticed, especially when so many members were active in the international House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOPKC)?
For 13 years, many of these questions have gone unanswered. And not one person who was a member of Tyler Deaton’s cult at the time of Bethany’s death has ever spoken publicly about what happened. Until now.
This edition of The Roys Report features host Julie Roys’ interview with “Jamie,” a former member of Tyler Deaton’s cult. We are not revealing her real name but have confirmed her identity with former leaders at IHOP who knew her.
Jamie joined Tyler’s cult when both she and Tyler were students at Southwestern University near Austin, Texas. Then, when the cult moved to Kansas City to be near IHOPKC, Jamie was one of the last students from Southwestern to relocate.
Jamie was good friends with Bethany, Tyler’s wife. And in part one of Julie’s interview with Jamie, she describes the abuse and mind control Tyler Deaton exerted over cult members. You’ll hear her chilling account of how Tyler broke the news of Bethany’s death to the cult.
But you’ll also hear Jamie’s powerful account of deliverance from the spiritual bondage that held her and others captive. She also answers questions about how involved Tyler was at IHOPKC and explains the events leading up to the murder confession by cult member, Micah Moore.
