A Tentative Explanation of My Childhood

Present-day: This is from the archives. It was written back when I was just starting to explore what exactly might have happened to me, and was thinking about putting my story online. I first researched “sheltered upbringing”. A lot of the effects are similar . . .

What's the point?

Is telling all really doing any good whatsoever?

written 31 July 2021

Why write all this stuff? What good is this doing, anyway?

I really don't know why I feel so driven to write and publish. Yes, it's for personal growth. I have already stated my purposes for this blog in previous posts, and all of those are authentic and true.

Sometimes I wonder, though – what good is . . .

Having Self-Compassion in the Process

written 2nd day, 27 July 2021

Being good to myself

I have to have the self-compassion to realize I'm still in the middle of this thing. I'm still untangling. I've made huge leaps and bounds from where I began, but I'm still going. Still in the process.

It's so easy to get frustrated that I'm not further.

Also I've been . . .

Getting free is disruptive and divisive.

Why? And why don't more people do it, regardless?

A Real-life Example of Groupthink

This poem shows the warped-ness of the CHDG false doctrine

written 10 July 2021

How was this poem not a huge, giant red flag?

Why do children get sick?

What does the BIBLE say?

HOW YA'LL DOIN? IT'S DENNIS HERE AGAIN. I DID WHAT I SAID, IN THAT I POSTED THE TIME THAT SARA GOT SICK AFTER LEARNING THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD ON SICKNESS, BUT AFTER SHE READ IT ON THE BLOG SHE WAS BOTHERED BY SOME OF THE STUFF IT SAID, AND SHE TOOK IT DOWN TO EDIT IT BEFORE RE-POSTING.  YOU SEE THAT'S WHY I SAID I MIGHT HAVE A SMALL . . .

Why I Still Believe After Getting Hurt By Religion

I don't always get GOD, but I love Him anyway.

written 3rd day, 22 June 2021

How does a person live through a religious Closed, High-Demand Group experience, escape from it, and decide to go back to believing in GOD again?
