Our Story

Lee is a retired medical professional driven by conservative Christian values and a passion for apologetics. With academic credentials including an M.Div. and a D.Min. in Apologetics, he is committed to shedding light on and combating the toxic influence of an authoritarian cult known as the COGR. During his younger years, Lee was briefly involved with a cult and witnessed the negative impact it had on people’s lives. Lee now provides a safe and supportive space for people who have left, or are thinking of leaving a toxic group such as the COGR. In his spare time, Lee enjoys fishing for trout.

Kelly is a retired elementary school teacher. She grew up in a Jehovah’s Witness family and was shunned from her parents and the group when she was a teenager. She spent most of her life healing from both the JW cult and the toxic family life it created at home. She recently attended the Church of God Restoration. At first the group swarmed her, made her feel welcome, and appeared to follow the Bible. Once she settled in, it became evident that the group worshipped another Jesus. Shades of her JW childhood were surfacing within the COGR. Kelly met Lee shortly after leaving the COGR.
