This week we hit up the land of sheep, New Zealand, where there's a tucked away cult. Karen watched the 3-part series about Gloriavale on Netflix and was enthralled. Of course, Bonnie lets her know it was a tadddd biased. Come along with us as we marry strangers and reproduce in the same room we share with our 8 children. It's Gloriavale!

Jews for Jesus. Bonnie and Karen spat over their right to exist. As someone of 1% Jewish DNA, Karen explains the Jewish faith, especially Hasidic Jews for which she watched many YouTube videos.

Karen had to edit down all of Bonnie's laughing in this one. You all are great. This episode of listener letters covers another tale of demons at summer camp, blessings from over the pond, and sexy soda. Keep these coming. We can't get enough. https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/contact/
Thanks again for all your questions. Maybe we'll make this an annual thing, if we're all here next year. On this episode we answer what our favorite and least favorite church songs were, what the church got wrong about sex, what crazy things that church people said were you not allowed to laugh at, and what do you do when you're asked to say grace. Because we're stir crazy, we threw in a lot more than you asked for. Don't forget to send us your own funny stories at https://deconversiontherapypod...
We sent out a call for listeners to ask Bonnie and Karen questions. On this episode, Bonnie goes into her deconversion, plus they both discuss how and when they "came out" to people about their beliefs, as well as if religion is needed in the world.
Crazzzy times. Hope all our listeners are doing well as we head into an Easter of empty pews. Who'd of thought? This week Bonnie starts yet another segment. This one is called "People Who Can Suck It." We come in with a little Easter info and memories, slide into the saga of Hobby Lobbys defying the law of the land (3 times), and finish off with some hilarious Passion Play fails. Find us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/deconversiontherapy/ . And don't forget to send in your funny churc...
Bonnie comes at you from an empty ballroom, or so the echo makes it seem. But we're back with your favorite--you. Letters from you, the listener, embarrassing yourselves for us. There's a lot of miracles and whores in this one, so listen close. Don't forget to submit your story to us at https://deconversiontherapypodcast.com/contact/
We get weekly requests to cover Bethel Church in Redding, CA. You probably know it by the story months ago of a toddler who died and the church believed she would be resurrected although days kept passing. Or perhaps it was from their outspokenness about conversion therapy for gays. Karen tells about a woman who left their School of Supernatural Ministry, plus all the disasters that have happened with the students and church taking over the town of Redding. Bonnie ends it with the best info on t...
We must join the professionals like us and discuss the COVID-19. Of course, our profession is religious whack-a-doodles, so that’s what we’re gonna do. Here's some of the crap religious leaders are hawking. Seems it’s not a good time for Bonnie to have stopped drinking! She has no tennis to watch, either! If you’re self-quarantining, what else do you have to do than to listen to useless podcasts. We cover Jim Bakker and the FDA coming after him, the New Zealand pastor who preaches tithing Christ...
Bonnie and Karen are punchy this week. And let us add, we recorded this BEFORE we were derided about how to pronounce "chakras," so chove it. In this Lettersode, Amanda moves from Japan to land in Louisiana where she went to a Vacation Bible School that’s theme that summer was...Japan. Madison was taught dinosaurs didn’t exist. She grew her hair long, was pure and sweet and sheltered. She tells about being traumatized when going to another church’s Bible camp. Then Jen comes in at the end with a...
Karen and Bonnie take you on a journey through the Flat Earth movie Behind the Curve. Bonnie gives a shout-out to the podcast Trashy Divorces. Then we go off the side of the earth's ridge to understand why people believe the earth is flat.
We really do. That Flat Earth Conspiracy Part 2--we're gonna nee to get back to you on that one. But, no fear, there's plenty of shit going down in the world of religion. We bring you the ding-battiest. But before we get into it, Bonnie wants to tell you about her chakras and Karen wants to tell you how sickly she was as a child. Pretttty attractive hosts ya got here. In this month's Church Bulletin, we hear from Coach Dave and that R-rated halftime show that appalled him although he still watch...

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. Speak...
We’re back! And who better to kick off the year than with the slickest performer of all–Carman? Rock, Jazz, Funk, or starring in his own films, he does it all. Even medical anesthesia is no match for him! We’ve missed you. Or was that just another one of Bonnie’s lies? She loved to start rumors in college. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you went to one of Carmen’s free concerts. He filled them up. Karen was even a counselor. In this episode, we describe the man, the legend. Or we read how he...
We're back with our last retro replay. There's cheeto and toe tattoos, then on with the show. If you like the show, you can support us at https://www.patreon.com/deconversion. Karen and Bonnie go through the lives and miracle healing powers of Kathrine Kuhlman and Benny Hill, no, Hinn. Are people really getting cured of cancer and broken backs and whatnot and various sundries? Why are all the people falling backwards when they get healed? And how in the world are these wheeler healers getting th...

We're not just playing old episodes this January, we're putting whole new intros on the front. 20 plus minutes of gobbeldy gook. This week we discuss Bonnie's birthday, Karen's present to her, and that you can't dress up cats. Then we break out an old Lettersode that includes Bonnie's Baller letter that listener's loved.

We've launched our Patreon so listeners can support this new year of our podcast. Go to https://www.patreon.com/deconversion to see our levels of support.

PLAY Kanye West and His Sunday Service Spira...
We're taking some time to improve the show and replaying some of our favorite episodes. Please SPONSOR us on Patreon . Thank you! We RIFF on some memories of urine and being snipers before we let you loose on an episode we released on Christmas Eve of 2018. Bonnie and Karen read their first submitted story by a listener! The subject is how Christianity shames females into thinking all sexual "sins" are their fault, even when they didn't participate! They discuss how rapey ducks can be and how it...
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.
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 can't get enough of these letters. This wad of them does not disappoint. What's better than having a famous Satanist next door? Perhaps running away from a demon at summer camp? We tie up the episode with a great, little, letter about an acting extra who's seen some shit, and been on one of our favorite shows. Please send in your letters at our WEBSITE .
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.
