What a sick puppy I was.

For I think 9 months, I would wake up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat. I would have dreams about all the "Brothers" (capital B) lined up, yelling at me, shaking fingers at me, telling me how I was in so much trouble for leaving, blah blah blah.

Yeah, sick puppy. It was hard to get away from it.

You know, the first conference I went to, it was in 1970 (pretty sure), and it was downtown LA, at the Embassy Hotel and next door a conference was going on, and quite a few of the people attending were black, wearing African styles of clothing. I asked someone what it was, who they were. The answer was 'Oh, some group called the People's Temple'. Jim Jones. I have thought about that sometimes, the parallels.

So, hard as it was, at least we didn't end up in Guyana. There but by the Grace ----

toxic.

Hello all--

I was recently asked, "Is the LC a cult?" I'm bringing this topic Spiritual Abuse Titles to the top to help our guests and members to research this question and reach their own conclusions. There are other titles in this topic which you may find helpful.

This is an extremely inflammatory topic and IMHO should be handled with care and prayer.
