ANGER

I became angry as I read this well documented account. [The Secret Sect] Angry because I don’t like being ripped off—especially in God’s name.

If we hadn't been sold a "bill of goods" to begin with—maybe we wouldn't have expected so much. We'd been told all these wonderful things about the fellowship we'd known ALL our lives, all these wonderful things about the workers & how they were giving their lives for our sakes, going out in faith, homeless, penniless etc.---the real problem is that we BELIEVED them. When we found out the truth though, we told that too. Like someone else who left said, the biggest sin of those who left is that we've been HONEST.

It makes me angry when I think of how very smug the workers are in making fun of educated men who have studied the bible and scriptures. They are so proud of their lack of education, and then they dare to play with the lives of innocent men and women!

I’ve been out for over three years now. I can laugh at a lot of what used to make me angry regarding my experience in the 2x2s but from time to time something triggers my anger again.

I think what you hear on this forum is a lot of frustration because we've never really been able to TALK to the workers because they refuse to really LISTEN. Here we can talk with freedom & that's what we do

I feel angry when the workers belittle what I KNOW to be right in the Bible. I try to explain orthodox Christian beliefs to them and they respond as if I never "had it."

I feel angry because of their superior attitude toward authority as if they are the only ones that have had a spiritual revelation.

I feel very angry that I wasted over half a century of my life in a cult and even when I became aware of the deception, the depth of brainwashing was so intense in the group that no one would even listen to any truth.

There have been many times over the last couple of years that I have felt great anger for the youth I lost, fitting into the perfect way.

I just wish you could believe & trust the workers who step up to the microphone to speak at convention in sweet & syrupy tones and seem like such humble men of God. I'm sorry too, if I sound rather bitter but it really aggravates me that the deceit to honest God-fearing people continues. I know God is in control of the situation & there are many things happening & many people are finally getting their eyes opened--but I get so impatient sometimes.
