And so much was twisted for so long and their was serious spiritual abuse so much so that some of us cannot even read the bible or pray and some of us left religion entirely, not sure where our faith is or if we have any. I think if people genuinely joined the F. or any group genuinely wanting to follow God, how can that be satanic? or full of the devil? That's too simplistic and more spiritual abuse, IMO. No, rather, it was more like these people that were supposed to be the shepherds and watching over God's heritage, who started the whole thing and set the wheels in motion, ended up instead sticking their fingers in God's eyes by hurting the innocent - using scriptures and following God as their hook. There are the wheat and tares growing up together in the F. just like in any walk of life or area of society.
