I used to think that forgiveness meant forgetting the past and pretending like nothing bad ever happened. I didn't have self respect. I blamed myself. I let the abusers from the cult off the hook. Later I realized that I wasn't actually forgiving. Instead, I was ignoring the wounds that I had within me. Instead of blindly forgiving everything and anything I decided to acknowledge what happened to me, to willingly make the choice to forgive, and to learn a lesson that boundaries are okay. Speaking up is okay. So now instead of pretending like everything is okay, like everything...

Over the years I tried ignoring all of the red flags. Everything was the fault of the members. But then I started to open my eyes and became aware of what happened to me. The fraud. The manipulation. The fear. And so for today's episode I want to talk about trafficking that I believe I experienced. Many will say that I wasn't trafficked and that I chose that life. The truth is many of us couldn't leave. The superiors of the group held onto our passports and other important documents to make sure that we wouldn't leave and some ex...

Once you are in an End Times Cult it's as if you have been frozen in time. All you look forward to are persecutions and THE END. After being inside for so long I finally found my freedom however I soon discovered that I still felt trapped. I felt like a prisoner and a part of me wanted to go back to the cult. I didn't have any life skills. I didn't have any idea of what the real world was like. I was trained, or programmed, to look at education and relationships as something toxic. It took quite a...

Purity Culture has been coming up a lot lately in my quest to understand life, religion, trauma, and healing. To get a better understanding of what this culture was like I sat down and discussed this theme with Erin so that my understanding of it would be clearer. We talked about some of the good things regarding purity, but, we also talked about the things that many don't want to be talked about, or, the dark side of purity culture. While many may think that Purity Culture only focuses on staying virgin one will begin to see that there is...

One of the hardest things for me to do is to breakdown the story of my cult experience in a way that is not complicated or all over the place. My journey inside the cult has been difficult at times to talk about, even to this day, but for me to tell my story I believe that it is best to simplify things to make the cult experience understandable for those who were not members. In no way is this episode an attempt to bash those who seek to live a life of purity and who cherish the chaste life...

In today's episode I had the opportunity to sit down with Radiant Style (tiktok name) to listen to her experiences of being in a Christian religious group, which she and many others, have found to be culty and controlling. Furthermore, Radiant Style breaks it down for us about how "Purity Culture" was used to shame and control members, especially the women. While purity was hammered down upon the women and so much focus was given to modesty she noticed that there was a lack of attention on other important issues like morality, consent, boundaries, and the understanding of what it...

It is important to be able to set up healthy boundaries in life. As a survivor of cult abuse it came very difficult to me but once I was able to set up healthy boundaries I was able to discover who were true friends and who were the pretend friends.

I want to share with the audience how difficult it was for me at first to connect with people after leaving the cult. It took me years of hard work, not only for me but also hard work by my family members, to be able to reconnect after years of separation. I would often feel guilty for enjoying life and I would even feel anxiety from socializing with family and friends. I know I hid it well but when I came home I felt like a complete wreck. It is my hope that by sharing my story and my healing...

My Healing Journey after leaving the End Times Cult has not been easy and it’s definitely not over yet. It is my goal that by sharing my journey people will begin to understand what life was like living under Fr. Bing’s End Times Cult. Spending time alone in an End Times basement was one of the darkest things I’ve ever experienced. Nuclear war was right around the corner. We were told to drink colloidal silver as that would keep us safe from any sickness including nuclear radiation. Also, Fr. Bing told us to cover the windows with black...
