I get what you're saying Stan. Bible verses were used as control levers against us. Who we made friends with, who we married, how hard we worked for the cult, whether we sacrificed careers or shunned friends or family.
All of these abuses and more were justified by one scripture or another. I'm too old and thick skinned to be 'triggered' by posts like Kosonen's but yeah, I can see how they'd have a negative impact on some.
I just find it inane now.
