Rosebud you know I often wonder just how many people in KFC did things like that; had their human reactions reinterpreted as "spiritual" somehow. Lmao at your description though!! I always wonder just how many people just politely fell over instead of actually being slain in the spirit. Personally I'd put the percentage close to 100% but that's just my natural cynicism.

I'm back again! One of the ways in which I have gotten over some of the hurts done to me by family and by fellowship is learning to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Some of the things that make me laugh now, looking back: Didn't the fellowship at times seemed more like an indoctrination camp for sales reps from Marks & Spencer, and Next? What was it with the obsessio

I'm sure I posted another message on here! Ah well it hasn't shown up yet but I'm sure it will. In it I went through my memories of you two (Becky & Trina, and your Mum & Dad). Happy memories really!! Back to the story... It's weird, I write down all the bad things that happen but there were some good things too, especially before we moved to Glasven Road at any

Trina and Becky! Oh it's so lovely to hear from you both. I hope you're both doing well. Trina I'll never forget you talking about Bob Dylan going all Christian and saying how it was silly and people wanted to hear his original songs. I remember at the time thinking, "oh wow is she REALLY saying that? Wow! How brave! How sinful, but how brave!" Lol ;-) I was shocked,

So what's next? The constant misery, that's what. Always on the outside. I didn't know why my parents weren't part of the inner circle until I was in my late teens. I remember once my mother telling me it was the fault of my sister and I, that we weren't holy enough, and we were stopping her from being in the uber-holy adults. That we - I - should start attending thos

Where was I? Well, the little man is asleep upstairs so I thought I'd sneak back and write some more. It's so hard to organise your thoughts, isn't it? I've talked all about what happened, how I "escaped" but not really about life growing up in the fellowship. It was tough. Really tough. My parents were never part of the inner holy circle and as a result

Anyway, going backwards again. I left the fellowship of the ring lol back in 2000. I'd had boyfriends before that but managed always to keep them fairly well-hidden from my parents and from KFC members; if I couldn't keep them hidden I would announce them as "friends" and sometimes also announce my plans for converting them, as that was the only way you were really allowed
Forum: Destructive Churches

Thanks for that Liverpool Writer. I do still sometimes feel a little nervous around born again Christians after the KFC's ethos of "convert everyone you meet else they'll go to hell and you'll be in trouble too". But I guess I don't need to be nervous of anyone on here; you all have been through the same sorts of things and aren't about to try to convert me - I

Hello everyone on here. I know some of you although I'm not sure who others of you are. I seem to have come along quite late to this discussion so I don't know if it's still going. I read through all the messages before posting and you'll guess who I am from my nickname! My first name rhymes with truth by the way!! I have to say, before I start going into my story I do
