There is a new mini series on Netflix called 'The Family'. I watched about half of it so far. Is this stuff real?

Its about these group of young men in their 20s who are called seaters. I don't know all the details, but its a group that has something to do with religion and how there are higher ups who influence politicians, etc..

Sorry for the mess up. I didn't get to post everything I wanted to. Something came up in the middle of starting this

Here is a summary of it.

quote:

It’s been one of the fundamental quandries of the presidency of Donald J. Trump: How can a man so overtly dedicated to the banality of evil still retain widespread support among Christians?

This is the question that Netflix’s newest harrowing documentary, “The Family,” attempts to answer over five episodes. Directed by Jesse Moss (“The Overnighters”) and produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Films, the limited series is based on the non-fiction investigations “The Family” and “C Street” written by Dartmouth College journalism professor and religious scholar Jeff Sharlet. And while the answer isn’t presented as cut-and-dry as it could be, “The Family” is a profoundly troubling examination of the theocracy that wields power behind-the-scenes in Washington D.C.

The Family, officially The Fellowship Foundation, is an aggregation of non-profit organizations that ostensibly work to spread the word and adhere to the teachings of Jesus. As Sharlet revealed in his books and as Moss expands on in “The Family,” however, there is a very thin line between evangelizing the work of Jesus and seeking access to those in power through spiritual obligation.

I've heard about how there was a big religious influence in DC that was behind the scenes and I thought it was a bunch of bullshite. I still think its a bunch of BS, but watching some of the series and reading what its about makes me start to question..

I am sort of looking at it beyond the netflix series. Is anyone on here interested in this and know more about it than most people?
