New Podcast Episode: Did the Remnant Fellowship Church Kill Josef Smith?
One of the pillars of the Remnant Fellowship Church is submission. Submission to God, a wife's submission to her husband, and a child's submission to their parents. If children aren't submissive and obedient and quiet, the Remnant Fellowship recommends corporal punishment. At the church's advice, Sonya and Joseph Smith put their 8-year-old son, Josef, through a series of atrocious punishments. In 2003, Josef finally succumbed to his brutal injuries. Ex-members of the cult suggest that the group's leaders should be held responsible for their negligent advice. Instead the group persists, and continues to perpetuate a toxic cycle of abuse.
