In 2017, former members of LLDM form an online community on Reddit sharing stories of abuse at the hands of the church's venerated "Apostles". Groomed as children, and psychologically imprisoned within a cult-like society through indoctrination, familial pressures and strict, religious dogma, they were taught to surrender their free will (mind, body and soul) in return for eternal salvation. The survivor community expands and increases awareness while the church grows in prominence and spreads globally.
