Renee beat the ‘kidney cult’ in court, but her own daughter testified against her
Published By admin with Comments 0
In a courtroom in September, Renee Spencer’s daughter, Ellie, appeared via video link from Mexico to give evidence that her mother worshipped the devil.
The pair had not seen each other in person since late 2019 because Spencer disapproved of Ellie’s decision to join a controversial group known as the Jesus Christians.
That disagreement eventually sparked a legal battle between Spencer and Dave McKay, the Melbourne-based leader of a religious sect sometimes described as the “kidney cult” for encouraging organ donation to strangers as an act of kindness.
Last week, Spencer was awarded $85,000 in damages over a video posted on the Jesus Christians’ YouTube channel that described her as a Satanist and “Luciferian”.
