Oh man. I can't stop reading. I found my people!! I sat in church services as a family sat in one section while dear old dad sat in another. Why? Because he had gotten out of jail for sexually abusing his children and by law couldn't get close to the kids.So the church solved that by sitting them that distance apart. Disgusted? I was.Imagine how it felt to be the kids.They knew that every person knew dad had sex with them. Mom went to the hotel for hookups because he wasn't allowed to live in the home. WTF My cousins were abused by their father and it was kept "hidden" while they told the father he really had to stop that. He chose to keep raping them and his wife was told to pray for him. It's SICK AND VILE!!I confronted MY own parents and got the whole, well, it's just how things were done! They too got to live with kids mocking them at school and being made to go home to that every day until they left home. A minister busted with a prostitute but he was just witnessing. Yeah, right. I remember when that made the local news. Oh the scandal but the church supported him too in his "witnedsing". Remember the pregnant girls made to walk up front and confess her horrid sexual sin?? Meanwhile, the young man who caused that pregnancy also got to piously remain in the pew. Why? Well, the woman bears the visable shame and must publicly confess and repent of her wicked ways. No wonder so many PR girls sought a options they didn't want. You faced complete humiliation and a hurried marriage or you were shunned and kicked out. No wonder why we no longer have any confession of girls pregnant out of wedlock. Aren't we proud we encourage abortion. We would say we don't, but our practice makes it the only choice. This sin has not gone away! The sinner finds another way. It's well known that finding a virgin is long gone.

I know it can be difficult but you don’t have to be in that pew tomorrow. As the member “blindrealist” said in another thread recently: “Leave. Be free.”

God saves individuals. He does not save churches/institutions. Hear His call to leave the institution and find the Good Shepherd who knows his own and never leaves them. (Sorry for the over spiritual-ese language) Leave. Be free (from white washed tombs). Also remember nothing has changed in the PRC, nothing. you may say oh there has been enlightenment or people are talking or perhaps this man will help but there have been NO concrete changes, NONE. Oh,’there is a conference, there was a survey! That’s change?!?! Biblically change includes public repentance and sacrifice. (Any if that happening?). Personal change includes connection and restoration (don’t see that happening either). The institution will not change, it CAN NOT change (it is not adaptable due to its man made structure). As you sit in the pew remember: they are hiding. And it’s not just predators, they are hiding the one true God. Leave. Be free.

If you're reading this, and after 9 years you're still reading this, maybe it's time that YOU do something about it?

Being Dutch doesn't make your cult any more Spic and Span than any other cult.

I finally did it. Tomorrow starts a new chapter away from the PRC Congratulations!!!! Hopefully you won't feel so tired anymore. For myself, leaving was so relieving. It was so good to shed that burden the PRC put on me. I feel like I have a spark of energy again; I feel so... free. Welcome to freedom!

“We’re not going to take it anymore.” Listen to the words in Twisted Sister’s song of that name. It applies perfectly. It’s not rebellious. Rather, logical.
