I found some of the women in “ Mount Zion”, (oh yes that was its previous name before KCF) to be very envious, they dressed it up in spirituality. Others were just haters bandied together in their little cliques, feeding on false gossip about me. As you can imagine, I found this quite shocking at the time, as I thought they were true Christians’ initially. I was naive and trusting, I was young.

So another little gem to share with you. I found this video resonated with me greatly. It is practically “my story” in so many ways.

Alexandra Stein discusses Cults and Cult Leaders in this video. She describes the main leader, with all the control at the apex of the cult, and “nasty” lieutenants, generally horrible people, who do the main leaders bidding. That really resonated with me, as this site is full of descriptions of those people. Many left and formed their own groups, filled with family members, so that they could re

Joanna Kujath shares her experience of being in a Christian cult since childhood.I identify very much with her story. I came from a narcissistic family, which made me more susceptible to narcissistic abuse in KCF. However growing up in a narcissistic family, had awakened the quiet rebel in me. I knew what I experienced “at home”, was unjust, and unhealthy. In KCF I found more of the same, it too

A very honest sharing from Hannah Timson, discussing her Evangelical background, and the thought processes she went through, before finally leaving Christianity. I can identify with so much she has said. I am not an atheist however, neither am I a Christian. Much study of ancient civilisations and their cosmologies, have led me to draw my own conclusions about “ the truth “ of humanity. Through e

Julia shares about the trauma of brainwashing. In studies it has been proven that when people leave a cult they are likely to suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder to various degrees. With the help of therapy these problems can be addressed and helped. The problem for many who leave cults, is they try to navigate a new life without support. In many cases, and in my own experience acknowledgin

Thank you Mork and I am free for putting me straight I will consider myself “Jolly well told off”! As I live on the other side of the world, I am clearly not as aware as you both are. It’s great that KCF have clearly taken on my suggestions, from many years ago. Good to see. However they are still involved in very destructive behaviour, TO MY FAMILY. They totally destroyed my relat

M Winell at ex-Mormon conference part 2. Religion can be terrorism. I am grateful that I was not brought up as a child in KCF. By the time I joined I had my own sense of self, my awareness that I could be successful at whatever I put my mind to. I have never lost this. However what does concern me, are the kids that were indoctrinated from an early age, and are still in KCF as adults. I found thi

Here are the 12 symptoms of Religious Trauma Syndrome. I know I definitely have it, I remember I used to feel anxious before a KCF meeting, as I walked through the door I used to brace myself for the stares from the welcomers. Always a dreadful experience. I would then scan the room to find a “ safe “ chair somewhere to hide, from all the dirty looks. My heart would be racing. The worst would be

It’s quite shocking, to see how amoral they would stoop to be. These people are serious Narcissists and psychopaths. They don’t care who they damage along the way to attaining their goals, prophesied by fake-prophets, and fake tongues. More on escaping… A person who is local, share how he escaped.

I can’t be like them Mork, for years I was bitter and twisted over what had occurred. As I have been able to share this stuff, I suppose I was able to unpack it. Mostly through meditation, I have forgiven them for my own good really, especially my best friend I shared about, but others I can’t quite get there yet. I suppose it’s a process. I don’t feel it is dependent on them being sorry for what
