STILLWATER
The Prophet Who Owned Them AllBy Mohamed Aslam
Length1h 7m
About this audiobook
For twenty-six years, a self-styled spiritual leader controlled the finances, relationships, and daily lives of over a hundred followers on a remote Oregon compound — until a member died of a treatable illness after leaders spent eleven hours debating whether his pain was real or a failure of discipline. It took a woman who'd escaped nine years earlier, quietly documenting everything she remembered, and a journalist willing to actually listen, to finally bring it down.
Stillwater: The Prophet Who Owned Them All traces the rise and fall of a group that turned belonging into a weapon — from a failed motivational speaker's reinvention as a prophet, through decades of financial exploitation, to the FBI investigation and trial that finally held him accountable. A story about the universal human need for community, and what happens when the wrong person is trusted to provide it.
