Hello again! I'm Illuminator and I posted off and on at the old board. Didn't now if I should reintroduce myself or not!
About me: My earliest memory is the church. Somewhere along the way, the church took over, and I was brainwashed. My view of the world was tainted. The church off Christ gave me a severe inferiority complex with thoughts of suicide because I couldn't live up to their standards. God hated me, and life was hell, and eternity was hell. To make a long story short, I got out. I thought getting out would be the end of my troubles but it's to become deprogrammed. I humbled myself and I'm in therapy. The most comforting thing my therapist has told me is that religious mind control -- and especially the coc -- is one of the strongest, but not impossible to break.
I made a thread about where I'm at now in my journey if you're interested.
I want to thank everyone for the support. If you're newly breaking away, hang in there. It does get better.
Hello!

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.
