Thank you for the response. I don't find it necessary to name the stepfather's church. I felt instant remorse after posting, although I wasn't exactly sure why; I was merely expressing my thoughts and feelings, all valid. I came here seeking answers and support and, of course, I was concerned when I read all the claims that Berachah is a cult - and sickened to find the familiarity

I grew up as a Berachah Baby in the prep school. Rebound, 10 problem solving devices, 5 cycles of discipline, Imputation, Sin Unto Death, Reversionism, the whole shebang. I remember singing the Aggie War Hymn and the Battle Hymn of the Green Berets on Thursday nights. I remember a guy in my third grade class was made to hold the plank position for acting out ("fidgeting", most likely).
