Episode 12: Two Worlds Collide - Plymouth Brethren Christian Church

The leader of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (Exclusive Brethren) tells its New Zealand fellowship to urgently gather together, with very short notice, and 7000 Brethren drop tools and flood airports all over New Zealand in their urgency to show their obedience. Why? Is the world about to end? Is there something we need to know? Meanwhile, Lindy’s dearly beloved Nana Anna passes away and her shunned family on the outside advocate for their right to say goodbye.
