Drake and Evangelical,

Please try to understand my essential point in this thread.

All the abuse in the LCM (and it did and does exist Drake) is rooted in the authoritarian nature of the movement. And the authoritarian nature of the movement is rooted in the idea that the movement is the unique move of God, the only legitimate place for Christians to experience church life. Which is a total lie.

This is why I focus my efforts on this point. Because I've lived the hell that comes with such indoctrination. It's one of the worst things a person can experience. It's he worst thing I've ever experienced. And it went on for years.

If you've ever wondered why those women in those extreme LDS groups stay there, when basically they are just sexual fodder for fanatical men that dominate them there, then you have viewed firsthand the mentality that holds a person in a group they really want to leave. It's not easy to overcome indoctrination that attaches the fear of God's punishment with leaving a group. That is Cult 101.

The Devil had a field day with many of us young ones. Remember what the Lord said about offending the little ones and about being better off drowned at the bottom of the sea with a millstone tied to your neck. He meant that. And you'd better start taking it seriously. Because somebody is going to pay for the damage that was done by this movement.
