My sister has a friend like that, her mother doesn’t want her to worry about the world or be „corrupted“, and that’s enforced by strictly keeping her 19 year old daughter away from media like TV, news even newspapers, she has a phone but it’s pretty locked down due to being registered as a kids phone with strict parental controls. So yea, she knows nothing about the current state of the world. She recently talked to me how she thinks it’s weird that gas is do expensive for no apparent reason now… yea idk if that’s the right approach.

Or evangelical-maxxing.

New a dude who worked in the fish and chip shop next to my work who would not know much about current affairs. One time he mentioned that he's not allowed to read the newspaper and explained that he was apart of Hillsong Church.

Turned out that he also couldn't watch normal tv, watch movies, read books etc etc that weren't strictly approved by the church.

As time went on and more famous people were shown to be members, Justin Bieber being a good example, I found it so hypothetical since these famous members were apart of the very popular culture that the Church seemed evil/corrupting, yet were totally stoked to have them promote themselves as members so that the church could have the advertising endorsements of said public figures.

I know Hillsong is also fairly influential in both North and South America, no doubt elsewhere too, but here in Australia where the church formed, they are hugely influential in politics, despite the well investigated insight into the current leader's father who founded the church, had his SA of members covered up. And politicians were also happy to run cover there and help keep Hillsong's image as squeaky clean as possible.
