Episode 235: Brother XII
Added 2023-06-17 01:11:15 +0000 UTCIf there’s one thing that beautiful British Columbia needs, it’s more cults. This week, the gang explores the volatile life of Edward Arthur Wilson, better known as “Brother XII.” Wilson was an English mystic who wasted absolutely no time building a spiritual compound south of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Prepare yourself for Egyptian gods, hidden treasure, and heart problems as Brad Abrahams gently ferries us off to the De Coursey islands in search of gold.

2023-06-22 17:50:44 +0000 UTCIf anyone is curious the Canadian song writer/singer is John Gogo and the song is called The Infamous Devil of De Courcy. Thanks for the introduction Brad, I needed more tunes for my cult playlist 🖤

2023-06-22 16:15:33 +0000 UTC@21:30-21:40 ... So, there is actually a strain of Christian conspiracism that sees the Catholic church as taken over by Jewish people who were forced to convert (but just pretended) by said church. It's the unspoken reason for why certain Protestant sects see the Catholic church as part of the beast system.

2023-06-21 16:03:18 +0000 UTCIt's funny that on the same island is the supposed witch capital of Canada with not so hush hush talk about the history of satanic cults and all the fun paranormal stuff. Never heard of brother 12, crazy stuff

2023-06-18 02:26:01 +0000 UTCI’m glad I was on Jake’s wavelength because because when he started talking about how there were three dates I was like “hey, I’ve seen this movie!”

2023-06-18 02:12:25 +0000 UTCMinor quibble: the Irvingites weren’t a sect of Catholics. They were founded by a Scottish minister who was excommunicated from the Scottish Presbyterian Church. He called the new church he founded the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, but that doesn’t mean it was Catholic in the sense of Roman Catholic – it was a branch off of Presbyterianism. In the Nicene Creed – a statement of faith which predates the split of Christianity into Western and Eastern halves, and long precedes the Protestant Reformation – the Christian Church is described as the “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.” These are all basically adjectives meaning that the Church is (in theory) unified, connected to God, universal (the original meaning of “catholic”), and descended from the community of the Apostles. That’s what he’s saying, “we’re the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church” in all of those senses. Most Christian churches claim those marks of the Church, I think, though I guess based on the name they had given up on the “One” part by that point.
