She had grown up in a fundamentalist sect with no official name, an ultra conservative cult often known as ‘The Truth’.
It’s infamous for its secretiveness – with no proper name, no official places of worship, and no doctrinal statements other than the Bible itself. Instead, everything is passed down in person, from generation to generation. There are no priests or ministers. Instead, those in charge are called ‘workers’. They encourage members to spend their lives proving their worth to God and Jesus, often through acts of suffering.
