A gay man who lost contact with his family after escaping a secretive religious community says he would have died if he stayed.
Ben Woodbury 31, was born into the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church but left at the age of 24 after being outed as homosexual when he was 18.
Ben has called his upbringing one in a "doomsday cult" where he says he was banned from watching TV, listening to music and socialising with non-members.
