If this link does not work, let me know and I'll try to correct it. It's just a less than 4 minute recap of the podcast taping but it turned out ok I think. This is NOT all of it. They're nearly an hour I believe. I will let you know when it's released. Love you all

"I have a right to talk about it." Yes! You do, thank you for claiming your life story as yours to talk about. I am looking forward to seeing the full version. Thank you for all the ways you have dug deep to love and care for your own self, your own survival, and for the well-being of your children, in spite of the myriad reasons told to you by religious and family mentors for why not to leave a dangerous marriage.

That's right! You've walked the walk, time to talk the talk. I too look forward to the full episodes. A heartfelt thank you from me too. |

You don't believe as I do, my son
It's all in the open now, so I shun
You went to church, you made the grade
Now you question, you doubt and I evade
You say within those doors your faith can't burn
But it's the only place for faith it's you I spurn
You don't agree with all of our doctrines, calling suspect
It is the one true church it's you I reject
You say our faith can cause so much pain
If only you fell in line, now it's you I disdain
You say you want family, and there's tears in your eyes.
I am sorry my son, not really I lied
It's you I must now ostracize
You were baptized, and now believe lies
You know, you know what this implies
It looks bad on me and I must chastise
It is our long held way, how we demonize
Withholding our love, a love of guise
That protects me and all I've done
Within the one true church, my former loved one
I'm sorry my son it's you I shun

And it's happening. The people who did the podcast have been contacted by a current PR. They are not happy and they said the podcast preview is full of "untruths and half truths". It looks as if I've awakened the dragon and for reasons I can't fathom, I feel afraid. But it's going to fuel me to keep going because I do not have to be afraid. I am not alone. I'm not afraid of anything anyone may say about me. I've owned it, processed it, healed, and moved on!

Then get some feedback from people who were once PR and had the balls to leave. Here at least there are a lot of people who now can speak freely of the BS that is the Protestant Reformed Church. They can speak without being in constant fear of being chastised for it. |

Part of me hopes they get a flood of response from PRs - it means PRs are paying attention and hearing your story. It means they understand that if your story is true, it means really bad things for their church so they need to deny it vehemently. It means people on the outside will see how the PRs continue to attack and silence anyone who has left their group, further proving what a cult that place really is. The PRs attacking this podcast episode are scared. I hope you feel safe; is that where your fear is coming from? That PR people may try to confront you in person or that they'll try to negatively affect your life in other ways? |

The PRs attacking this podcast episode are scared. I hope you feel safe; is that where your fear is coming from? That PR people may try to confront you in person or that they'll try to negatively affect your life in other ways? That's partly it. I know the person who contacted them. I'm taking a good approach and being proactive with our home and myself. We have security cams installed now in multiple places so I'll know when someone is using my driveway. No trespassing signs are posted and I will call 911 if I do not know the person driving towards my home and am not expecting anyone. There is no reason anyone would stop here because they were "in the area". You cannot see our home from the road. It's not actually that easy to find. I quit my job because my father randomly showed up there. Gatherings will continue but locations will change and be fiercely guarded. Would they attempt to throw mud? I'm sure they will but I don't think I care. I've owned it all. Every bit of it. Apologies were made for what my wrongs were and I'm over it. I'm here now and this person I am is the realist version of me. I think the fear came because it does look like I woke the bear after a long winter and they are emerging hungry and pissed and then add fear because they are under attack. I simply need to be vigilant. The fact they already contacted the podcast producers before the full product was shown shows they have fear of being exposed. I'm not a fighter or a leader and I put myself out there very publicly.I expected attacks. It still was mildly shocking to be notified that it has begun. |

Odd request to any willing. If you watch the podcast on YouTube or another platform, could you leave a comment? Negative or positive, I'm ok with anything that expresses how you truly feel. It will help it be shared or viewed more and I want PRs to engage on there. I want them to know its being seen and talked about. Until conversation starts, nothing, absolutely nothing will ever change there.
It's ironic that there is nothing said by them about all the abuse when they respond. It's just a generic "she is lying" but nothing about what they have caused. I can only imagine what it must be like to have the only thing you have clung to being exposed, attacked, and now it is crumbling. What it is like to be someone who excommunicated or shunned a family member and seeing the fallout. Seeing the pain. Seeing the un-Christianity in your actions. What do they do? My hope is they have their eyes open and I would welcome them so I could pour love and acceptance into them also. Thanks everyone for your continued support.

It might help to leave a "me too" type of message (maybe not with those exact words). I imagine it would be better in combatting PR comments to add our own experiences or express where they overlap with Heidi's. If there are PR commenters it would help if they had more than one person to be angry at. Seeing a lot of agreement could give them pause, too. |

But even if there wasn't a single response, I'm still standing firm. Thank you for this!! |
