Our friend John Huddle, passed Tuesday July 29, 2025, surrounded by his family and friends. He was 64 years old.
John was a peaceful man and a fierce advocate in alerting the world to the dangers of WOFF.
His recounts of his time as a member of the church are heartbreaking and bizarre at the hands of the mercurial temperament of Jane Whaley and her devout followers.
John exposed the dangers of WOFF as a cult on his blog religiouscultsinfo.com with accounts from former members, the tactics used by WOFF leadership, resources to help those wanting to leave, many deep dives into the science and logic, such as it is, about the types of cults and how they operate. It is an endlessly useful site, presumably in danger of getting shut down soon by those with access to the site. I would recommend all interested to cut and paste as much as possible from the site before it is lost forever.
John had started this blog and mission in 2010, a year before WOFFWATCH started in 2011. And his dedication to helping others through his blog was world class in it's thoughtful approach, solid reporting, credible accounts from his own experiences and storytelling through those who shared their confidence in John.
John went to great lengths and hundreds of hours of time researching, researching and even going to conferences at his own expense to further educate himself on the subject.
He ultimately wrote LOCKED IN a book available on AMAZON, and if I'm not mistaken, he was on track to release another book, as well as worked with award winning AP reporter Mitch Weiss, conducted many interviews for both print and broadcast as well as contributed source material for many of the stories published and broadcast about WOFF over the years.
None of his work would be possible without the many, many people John had as contacts within the church, out of the church, and periphery players who were invaluable sources in detailing the actions of this troubled place, all controlled by the leadership that is WOFF and it's Darth Vader in a dress.
WOFF IS A CULT. Doesn't matter if JW say's it isn't. It is. WOFF's version of the truth is not the truth.
WOFF has a documented history of punishing people, making them work for free at Mara Lago on weekends, openly supporting a rapist, liar and incompetent corrupt buffoon, tattling on one another, separating families, all in the name of GOD. JW's version of GOD.
I've been to WOFF a number of times. I know people at WOFF. Some former members know me. So, it's not like I'm throwing out opinions. I know how the place works.
John's passion for helping others and spreading the word will be sorely missed.
John, my friend: Thank you for everything. We shared some hysterical moments, you reached out to help me one time, and I'll never forget that, and the Wendy's in Marion will never be the same. Thank you for being so generous with news from Spinhead, NC. I will miss you.
May the force be with you.
-WOFFWATCH
