An influential leader has the power to herd the masses and lead them. But lead them where? To what end? Religion has been used for centuries to do that – control and command. But while most of it was used for collective good, small cults posing under the garb of religion have exploited the simple folks and used them to some selfish end. The Devil Next Door series on A&E brings one such true story from North Carolina, where past members narrate the horrors and plead to those still trapped to break free.

The Devil Next Door Story
The Devil Next Door series takes you inside the deeply secretive North-Carolina based church – Word of Faith Fellowship Church – through the eyes of those who have managed to escape from the oppressive community.
Spindale, Norht Carolina looks like a normal American town, but what was once a quiet community is now the at the center of a federal criminal investigation. Former inhabitants report allegations of physical and mental child abuse, forced labor, intimidation and separation of children from their parents, but the Word of Faith Fellowship Church denies any wrongdoing.
The Church began in 1979 and is led by 77-year-old Jane Whaley, with additional churches in Ghana and Brazil. While the Word of Faith Fellowship affirms to be a devout Christian church, former members tell a different story – one of violence and exploitation.
This series follows many former members as they work tirelessly to make the community and the government aware of the injustices going on behind closed doors. Their mission is to convince those still inside, including their own loved ones and children, to break away from the Church.
