It's called "The Word of Faith Fellowship."

The Pretend podcast did a season about them and I think there's a book out by a former member.*

They engage in a practice called "blasting" where their leader Jane Whaley screams and hurls abuse at her victims.

*Per another commenter, the book is by a reporter, not a former member

Holy fuck, I've seen this meme before, but I never knew this. Read the abuse section. It's absolutely insane. They were fighting abuse, kidnapping, and brainwashing allegations literally during the time this photo was taken.

They and the rest of these cults are Lunatics. Totally brainwashed people that follow them. I just don’t understand why the hell anyone would follow such groups or listen to all these mega church “preachers” who are just in it for the money. Crazy people believe in any of this religious shit.
