Lettersode: Tragic Comedy

A Comedy Podcast about the Oddities of Christian Culture

You guys have made beauty from ashes....and any other cliched Christian sayings that would fit. (You are such a blessing; I know God sent you; etc.)

Basically I just love you guys to death and I think that everyone should be made to listen to the amazingness that is this podcast. That is all.

Beauty from Ashes

This is what everyone needs to get through the day!

Relatable and hilarious

Deconversion Therapy

The Quiverfull Movement is all about letting God give you as many babies as possible to build up the Army of God. Think, the Duggars.    We want to make 2 things clear at the get-go:   Having a lot of kids is not bad, no matter how much we laugh at it. All big families aren’t quiverfull either.  Many women have been hurt by this movement, so rest assured we understand the gravity of the hurt that women and kids, especially have experienced with this. Just like our episodes on cults or conmen preachers, we find humor on the edges, and hope a wider audience who enjoys idiotic hosts learn about things they didn’t know was going on around them.   Karen and Bonnie let you in on what they'd name their kids if they had a bundle of them. Then they discuss the origin and widespread reach of the movement. It's as messed up as you think it is.  From women not using a tampon for decades because they're knocked up, to the harsh discipline, and vasectomy and tubal tie reversal ministries, it's f-ed up.   We also read stories from former quiverfull women who are, thankfully, out now.   Our sources: La Wikipedia and article Bonnie read from.   Terrible abusive video from Debi and Micheal Pearl (starts at the 1:25 mark).   We have a SHOP. Come browse and get cute, profane gear!   For our listeners, Audible is offering a FREE MONTH and ONE FREE BOOK if you sign up at audibletrial.com/Deconversion.   You can also listen at:   iTunes   Spotify   Stitcher   Overcast   YouTube

Baby, Baby: Quiver-full (of Crap)

It's just a little fun on the side. Sell some oils or woven baskets, make some pocket money. Of course, that's not how it ends up at all. Multi-Level marketing companies are mainly Christian/Mormon run--Mary Kay, DoTerra Oils, Pampered Chef, Advocare, and many more. The secret hidden in plain sight is that 75% of people (ok, women) who join MLMs don't make money. And about 50% LOSE money.  Bonnie and Karen discuss which MLMs are religious-based, why, and what the hell is going on.  They try to keep their usual light manner, but it gets hard when so many mothers are getting shafted by something that is supposed to empower them. A big thanks to the podcast The Dream by Jane Marie for covering this topic in depth. Find more on our website.  Find us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook Page And please SUBSCRIBE. Thank you.  We Have a SHOP. Check it out and help support our podcast.

Lettersode 6: Satan, Tongues, and God's Little Extra

If I was a pastor, I think I'd feel called to have a tax-exempt house in Hollywood myself.  This week, Karen and Bonnie agree to disagree about Churchome in California. It sounds like a decent community to one, it sounds like the same ol' story to the other. Plus, we discuss the most influential Christians in Hollywood, as well as the rudest, according to Ranker.com. The list overlaps a tad.

Hollywood Gods

Paula White

John Crist

Kanye's back with more of his Christian humility and putting others first. We've got Paula White receiving an official White House position. And it all wraps up with the bombshell accusations about sexual misconduct of comedian John Crist. Never a week off around here.   We get Kanye out of the way by talking about how upset he is that he can't do math for Forbes.   Paula, Paula, Paula. Paula White is in the news again because Trump gave her an official posting. NowThis made a video of her clips. America, you in trouble girl.     John Crist is a snarky Christian comedian who actually has some good bits, moslty because he wasn't afraid of poking fun at Christian stereotypes. This week, a Christian news outlet broke the news of his sexual misconduct, leading to him canceling his tour and Netflix canceling his special.   Thanks for all the letters recently. We love reading them.

Pew News: Kanye, Paula White, John Crist

Karen and Bonnie discuss the book, and soon-to be-released Netflix documentary “The Family: An enigmatic conservative Christian group known as the Family wields enormous influence in Washington, D.C., in pursuit of its global ambitions.” The secret group in DC laid low for a long time and only insiders knew of them. Until the shtooping. Always the shtooping. In 2008, when senator Mark Sanford disappeared to go “hiking” but was found out to be hiking on his mistress, people learned he lived in a house in DC on C Street. But it wasn’t/isn’t just a house, it’s a group. And boy, do you need to learn about this group. Read Jeff Sharlett’s The Family or “Jesus Plus Nothing” in Harper’s Magazine. We're proud to be sponsored by Audible. Go to www.audibletrial.com/deconversion for a free book and free 30 day subscription.

The Family Part 1: It's about Power, Not Love

No, we did not make that word up. But sadly, someone else did. This week Karen and Bonnie share their memories of Halloweens past, when the church hadn't upped the ante on hijacking it for Fall Festivals and Hallelujah Nights. Or JesusWeens, a concept that didn't make it far out of the gate, but far enough for it to still be out there. There are two great letters from listeners who had to celebrate Halloween at church, hints on how to survive waterboarding, and these tacky Christian-themed Halloween items. We’d love to hear any stories of this Halloween, past ones, or see some costumes. The laughing is a two-way street. Don’t forget we have a SHOP. We’d love you to…shop there. www.deconversiontherapypodcast.com

Happy JesusWeen

Do we have a theme song for our Lettersodes? You be the judge. Thanks to everyone who has supported us on Patreon. We have a special Q and A video up in there for our supporters.  This month on our Lettersode, we have the trendiest priest around, Father Steve. In fact, it's quite the Catholic lettersode with a story about a bar in Atlanta run by a former divinity student (Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium, or simply Church) plus a tale about communion wafers. Speaking of clergy, we hear from people who have left the ministry. If you need assistance when deconstructing, reach out to the organizations Recovering From Religion and The Clergy Project. We end the episode with Brady Hardin dropping by from the podcast The Life After.  Send in your letters for us to read at https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/

Michael Cohen

Tom Arnold

Please Subscribe, rate, and review. We’d appreciate it. Bonnie fills Karen in on Jerry Falwell Jr., and the news that something is afoot in his world. The players are a pool boy, Jerry, Jerry’s wife, Michael Cohen and his plaid jacket, and Tom Arnold. Of course, Trump always shows up in anything we discuss when it comes to sketchy “Christians.” Falwell has the sanpaku, an eyeball thing Bonnie is obsessed with. Supposedly, he’s either an addict or crazzzzy. The story’s still coming out, but there are some revealing pictures of Jerry Falwell Jr.’s wife, and also a friendship with the pool boy, who went on vacations with them. But it doesn’t stop there! Falwell invested 1.8 Million dollars in the SoBE hostel in Miami Beach that the pool boy started. Could this be why Falwell went from not supporting Trump for president to being all-in and making sure the evangelicals did, too?  Enjoy a romp through this den of vice that is the Falwell hostel. We also read a letter from Sara, who found herself in a cult when she attended a Pentecostal Bible college in Minnesota. It includes pie.

Jerry Falwell Jr., Michael Cohen, Tom Arnold and Some Pictures

David Berkowitz

Son of Sam, David Berkowitz, is now the self-proclaimed Son of Hope.   Karen tries to get David to come to the studio, but he’s too shy. And imprisoned. We should have gotten the actor who portrays him on Mindhunter on Netflix. He's amazing!   Bonnie joins the rank of 22 year-old guys who live on Reddit by putting a Bible in the Historical Fiction category at a Barnes and Noble. And Karen admits to saving up her money one year to buy her husband a Zune for allll his music. Holds 50 songs!   We were thrilled to receive a letter from a listener saying they had been to the Young Life camp that used to be the Rajneesh compound in Oregon. Thanks for the letter. We love these insights.   Bonnie describes the 70s. Disco. Bell bottoms. Leisure suits. Not a lot of bras. Lots of rainbows on things before the gays appropriated them.   Karen gives the run-down of David Berkowitz’s crimes. He randomly shot people, mostly couples while they were in their car. It scared New York and the nation.   When Berkowitz was a kid, his birthmother gave him up for adoption. He was adopted and was a bad, bad kid. When he was caught after all the killings, people were upset at his last name and Jewish people were happy to find out he was adopted but then it was revealed his birthmother was also Jewish. Then Karen tells an old reverse racist Jewish joke.   Berkowitz might or might not have been involved in the occult. It depends if you ask, Bonnie or Karen. Karen goes by the story that he’d been getting into the idea of demons from the Kentucky church he got initially saved in. Then he parlayed this into a story once he was arrested.   Berkowitz got a lot of attention when he converted in the clink and was interviewed by Larry King and anyone else who wanted to nab a juicy subject but got Berkowitz's testimony instead. David even wrote a book! And you can find it somewhere online. He isn't supposed to make money off it, but it will definitely help build his ministry.     Berkowitz also has an organization. Ok, he doesn't, but his "friends" have made on for him. You can read his journals and see all the people who visit him. He has more of a reach from prison than most people on the outside.       If you were in prison, why wouldn't you want to become a Christian? You get forgiveness, a community, meaning, something to do away from other prisoners. Bonnie and Karen discuss how disproportionate Christian chaplains are to other religions in prison. Plus, Bonnie tells Prison Jesus, which is an actual psychological disorder.   We'll give it to Berkowitz, although we do feel he sincerely believes, he has carved out a pretty successful life since slaughtering 6 people.   Our sources were Wikipedia and Berkowitz's website. Books we recommend to listen to on Audible: Ricky Gervais' podcast and Born a Crime by Trevor Noah.

Who's Gonna Be in Heaven? David Berkowitz, Son of Sam

It's here. Our gift to you is us waffling on about random things that are loosely connected to the largest holiday in the world. We give a shout-out to Josh Harris and Dave Warnock. There's some talk of Bethel church, statues that poop, and we even delve into literature.  Have a great holiday.

Christmess

It’s a short, summery episode of listeners’ letters! We’ve got Michelle telling about an insanely long revival that includes a hot evangelist and modesty blankets. Justin writes in about being THAT 13-year-old Christian kid who thinks they’ve cracked the code on when Jesus will return. And, finally, Rachel gives insight into her charismatic church that sparks a painfully embarrassing memory for Karen. Send your funny, true letters to us at www.deconversiontherapypodcast.com

 Lettersode: Listener Letters about Hot Evangelists, The Rapture, and Dancing

Bonnie and Karen discuss the Love Family cult, also known as The Church of Jesus Christ at Armageddon. They have first names like Logic and Submission and Smooth--what's not to love? And although they went a bit off the rails, the concept is pretty familiar. And it sounds a lot like the church with a capital C.

The Love Family Cult

We carb-load up on Pastafarianism, a religion Karen is signing up for but Bonnie can't handle the puns.  Karen had seen images with people wearing colanders on their heads, even some paintings reimagined with God being replaced by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but she never knew much about the whole thing. Their God, Wikipedia, helps enlighten them on what is a great social statement on the division of church and state.

We are back! Please help us out by subscribing, rating, and reviewing us. In fact, although we don’t think we put out anything worthy, we’re asking you to share this episode because these preachers asking for LGBT people to be killed need eyes on them. By everyone! We give a shout-out to Maggie who said she not only noticed we were gone for two weeks but that she missed us. She’s going to get a crown in our heaven one day. Bonnie gets after the Google doodle on Father’s Day because it depicts ducks, a sore issue with Bonnie. Go listen to episode 1 or 2. One of them goes over the TRUE disposition of those cute, little ducks. Thennnnn, it’s time to talk about the assholes who are preaching that LGBT people should be killed by the government. They’ve chosen Pride Month to really go off in the most non-Jesus-like way. Grayson Fritts, a pastor in the Knoxville, Tennessee area is also a police detective. You can watch the video here, if you can stomach it. But wait. There’s more! You also get the Make America Straight Again conference in Orlando, Florida

We make them go head-to-head on this episode. We'll post polls on our social media things (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) so you can vote. The winner will get nothing but their already deserved disgrace. Bonnie got so depressed reading about her guy, Pat Robertson, that she decided to just look up reviews for the Anne Frank book. This is the world we live in! So we moved on the real event: The Kook-Off. Karen took Jim Bakker, once married to Tammy Faye, involved in a sex scandal with Jessica Hahn, jailed for 5 years for money doo-dah, now back on television with his new wife and selling buckets of goop for the coming END OF TIMES! Bonnie takes on Pat Robertson. She feels the guy says things before he thinks them through and they get blown up by people who want to laugh at them. Karen says she is that person. Pat actually went to Yale and has a law degree, but he didn't pass the bar. He also says he was preoccupied with "the ladies" when he was a younger lad. Since then he's told people to stop their yapping about adulterous husbands and, of course, that every storm is the result of sin. Looking at you, gays!

Karen took Jim Bakker, once married to Tammy Faye, involved in a sex scandal with Jessica Hahn, jailed for 5 years for money doo-dah, now back on television with his new wife and selling buckets of goop for the coming END OF TIMES! Bonnie takes on Pat Robertson. She feels the guy says things before he thinks them through and they get blown up by people who want to laugh at them. Karen says she is that person. Pat actually went to Yale and has a law degree, but he didn't pass the bar. He also says he was preoccupied with "the ladies" when he was a younger lad. Since then he's told people to stop their yapping about adulterous husbands and, of course, that every storm is the result of sin. Looking at you, gays!

1st Annual Kook-Off: Jim Bakker vs Pat Robertson

  Letters and letters! Thanks for writing in. You can send us yours via our website www.deconversiontherapypodcast.com. Our first one is from Heather, a kick-ass deconvert who’s been through it. She’s still healing from losing sword drills. Then she tells us about the universal kids’ musical/dancing controversies we all lived through growing up. We read a letter from a Christian college “bad boy,” as well as hear about a JW vs Mormon turf war. Come laugh at yourselves with us. As always, we really would love your ratings and reviews, as that helps us get seen by other listeners. iTunes is the best place to do one, even if you listen on another pod place thingy.

Lettersode 2: Divorces, Hair, and Mormons

Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, John Goodman, and a guy playing a keytar. The Righteous Gemstones is heaven.  This week we discuss the HBO show and how familiar Bonnie and Karen are with the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker-type family that drives two-hundred thousand dollar SUVs, has a shooting range on their compound, and a Christian project named Keefe living with them.   There are celibacy promises! Bible heroes wax museum. Chicken references. Mullets. Pants with pleats. Tee shirts with youth group graphics. Youth group!! Youth group meeting as a cover. I wonder if any of our friends ever did that? (Yes, they did.)  “These feats of strength are all to glorify God.”   Adam Devine's youth minister character is typical of what we see in the south. Is he gay or just trying to be hip? Does he look like Hermy the elf or Jimmy Neutron?   Bonnie talks about how Adam Devine received the late-season add-in blessing from Modern Family like other stars have experienced.   And damn if Edi Patterson's role as the daughter Judy isn't painfully accurate. She never gets to do anything in the patriarchal church family.   Watch it with us and tag us with your insights. We love this show.   Announcement: We have a SHOP. Please check it out and give us some support. Thanks!
