You know, at one time during my 10 years of devastating depression while learning to deal with coming out of the Fam, I decided to write a clinical psychologist about what I had been through. I can look back and laugh about it now, but my story was so mind boglingly ridiculous that I couldn't send it for fear he'd think me an absolute fool. I tore it up and threw it in the garbage and went on being depressed and not getting the help that I so desparately needed until years later when I came to the boards here. Thank God for the support wounded souls like you and I finally got, eh?
Is your daughter's case different in that there's no f'fing and incest stuff going on, or is that she's not having to share within the homes, or what? Aside from those things, pretty much everything else would be the same, wouldn't it - burning desire to serve the Lord, veneration of the king and queen as the endtime prophets, fear of failing, wacked out prophecies that constantly fail, etc.....?
It's hard to believe that we had M@M on such pedastals and, I agree, the doctrines need to be exposed, cause as far as I can tell, they're still in place even if their not being practiced outwardly in the present, which makes it insiduously deceptive, imo. I think Peter's counsel to the present members to 'agree to disagree' would tend to keep them from breaking through to the other side. It was his counsel wasn't it? I remember an advisory or something (perhaps it was in their charter) in the mid 90's that went something like that. In other words, they're (the Fam leadership) not going to give up what they consider to be their freedoms in the Lord, nor change their convictions about following their dear, beloved, alcholic father in the Lord to their deaths. Whatever!
Here's to your journey, (raising my 4 oz glass of wine to your here) your health, and your well being!
