I went to the site and listened. Very good!
I started writing fiction a few years back. This coming year I will begin my first novel about a girl who is recruited into a cult. This book will be based on a combination of insight from my upbringing in a religious organization, my time in Oregon with my landlord, and the information I’ve gained from the Cult institute. My hope is that people will begin to connect the dots and understand that many churches display some sort of cult behavior, charismatic leaders should be watched and vetted, I am responsible for my life not someone else etc.
it is terribly lonely to know you have to start all over alone. It feels like a lot of wasted time. That’s why I’m writing books. It helps make sense of the mess.
My faith in God is still intact but I am very wary of religious organizations and find myself triggered at church. So I don’t go.
All I can say is THANK YOU for being here!
