I used to belong to a congregation in colorado .... and they ALWAYS had something to celebrate.....
a wedding ....have booze....
an anniversary...have booze....
before halloween they would have a costume party....everyone dress in a costume & get together for a P A R T Y !
would get the kids together and get a big cake for them , music, cake, dance, (sounds lisome ke a birthday party) but it's NOT !
I am sooo glad that I am out. I miss my family that's in, but I realize that it is a cult, and it did alot of damage to me & my relationships thru out the years....NOTHING that I can repair...but I just do my best to show how sorry I am for the things I did....
like refusing to share in family get togethers...holidays...etc...WOW..... what an eye opener once you are OUT & learn the TRUTH about them! But, I feel sorry for the ones still in, because we all know that they feel it's the right thing to do. I pray that they will someday see that it is not the right course.... so I remain....... EverSoGrateful.....
