I last attended in 2019. I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you’re doing here with your website. This is all so accurate and spot on. “Own mind” *cringe* How extraordinarily harmful those words were for me. I became a shell of a person filled with self-hatred (the goal). Reading all of this does make me uncomfortable, because it brings back the experience, but I’m glad to be on the other side of all of it. I had a mental breakdown from the pressure of it all (I was there 7 days a week for years and was terrified of the end of the world) and it wasn’t until I had that break from attending that I allowed myself to really explore the doubts I had. I decided to “eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil” and go on the internet to look up some things I had been wondering about, and it was a lot to take in.

It took a while for me to drop the language. It was my therapist, who specializes in cults, who pointed out the way I was speaking, and that that was part of the mind control. I still can’t talk about the Bible without my voice falling back into that…accent. Anyway, I hope this site helps people.
