One of the anti cult conference highlights for me was the international premiere of "Witness Underground," a powerful documentary exploring the experiences of former Jehovah's Witnesses who deprogrammed themselves through self-education and the power of self-expression and music creation to allow themselves to do free thinking. I was invited to speak on a panel called "Rock the Watchtower" hosted by Radio New Zealand investigative reporter Anusha Bradley along with Activists Lara Kaput and Shayne Mechen.
Represented groups:
government officials and skeptics, cult experts, human rights activists and advocates, mental health care workers, therapists, psychologists, psychotherapists, medical doctors, human & sex trafficking advocates, activists of all kinds, journalists - radio & print media, podcast, lawyers, members of parliament, film directors, and satire artist/musicians.
The Decult conference, organized by journalist and author of Cult Trip, Anke Richter, aimed to create a unique opportunity for mental health professionals, government officials, suvivors and the general public to come together and present our perspectives and to better understand and prevent cultic harm through professional anti cultism.
Decult 2024 has laid the groundwork for improved support systems and awareness.

As a decult speaker and former cult member, I was excited to share my unique perspective on religious cults today. This cult conference provided a platform for leaving religion stories and fostered important conversations about human rights and religion.
The Cult Awareness Conference provided a safe space for former cult members to share their experiences and find support. The event shed light on religious cults today and explored the complex relationship between religion, human rights, and social justice.
Attendees heard powerful stories from those saved from a cult and gained insights into the process of religious deconstruction. The conference also addressed critical issues surrounding human rights and religion, offering valuable perspectives for those seeking freedom from a cult or struggling to break free from indoctrination.
A new cult documentary 2024 was produced to capture the essence of the Decult cult awareness conference. The Decult cult awareness conference proved to be a transformative experience for former cult members and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of cults & high-control groups in society.
Witness Underground had it's international premiere at Decult. It's both a christian music rockumentary and an unprecedented cult documentary 2024. It explores the cult indie music culture that flourished within the Jehovah's Witnesses community, showcasing how art and music can be powerful tools for religious deconstruction. The Decult Cult Awareness Conference offered a rare opportunity for former cult members like myself to share our experiences and insights. Through panel discussions and former cult member interviews, we were able to shed light on the challenges of leaving cults and the journey of rebuilding one's identity outside of a restrictive belief system.
