I’m still a believer, and lover of Jesus.

I understand how your father was recruited into it and entrapped, as I was too.

It is good you are trying to have grace for him. If you take personal responsibility for yourself, pray for him and other family still in it, the Lord will honor that.

I don’t want to highjack your thread though. Please carry on.

Force fed as in made to read ministry books? just curious...

As in made to read them and pretend to like them, regardless of whether they like them or not.

Oh yes, they were definitely the "gold standard" of books. I didn't even consider questioning back then although it wasn't something I wanted to read.
