"I Lasted 30 Years Until I Could Stand No More."
by scout575 in"i was born a "wee catholic", and as a baby baptized into it against my will.
i showed my displeasure by biting the priest's thumb regardless of the fact that, as i had no teeth, i could not draw blood.
at the tender age of six i was bundled off to the nuns for brainwashing.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
by scout575 in"he is the rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgement: a god of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
" ( deuteronomy 32:4 ).
"the lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou setteth thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly...the lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee...the lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflamation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
by scout575 in"thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, i am the lord.
" ( leviticus 19:18 ).

"Breaking Away From it Can at Times Seem Impossible."
by scout575 in"i thought i was delivered from the bondage of cultism and "free" in my re-discovered "personal relationship with jesus christ".
nevertheless, it took me several more years to realize that i had substituted the cult-organization that clearly defined mormonism with the cult of born again christianity.".
"in many respects, i believe it may be even harder for a "born again christian" who has lost faith to come out of his/her own cult than it would be for a jehovah's witness or a mormon.
