Soul Searching

Being Devoured

How dare they, or any “religion” for that matter, have the connotation that their ideals and way of life are far more superior than everybody elses'? Yet my bitterness lies towards a particular cult.

At first, the idea of being spiritually free seems appealing to a soul in search for spiritual truth and enlightenment, yet one must be extremely wary and precocious of the route that is taken, for the route I have taken has put me through mental, financial and sheltered damnation. This cult knows no boundaries when it comes to individuals who, in one way or another, have decided to leave the misguided flock that is the Suppressor rather than the Suppressed.

My experience when I left the first time wasn't been pleasant. I was in the process of starting a program at a local university to explore the possibility of post-secondary education as a mature student, as well as a weekly sample of the programs that the university had to offer. It, at the time, was the perfect escape to get out of the cult. And to my misfortune, I was not prepared as to what the cult was capable of in order to get me to return to erroneous ways.

I had been out of the cult for a few months due to the program, and it was nearly wrapping up. Members of the cult had a plan intact to get me to return. To my unexpected surprise, the illustrious members of the cult began calling me at the most unusual times and gaining access to my apartment door through the secured entrance without me consenting. Their persistence would even occur when I would be watching my nephew. The incident when they came to my door when I was watching my nephew was the final straw in which the overstepped my boundaries and I was done dealing with them any further. I sought help with the law enforcement for some sort of resolution on how to deal with the cult. The solution was to get the officers that responded to the call to go to the cult's building and request that the cult leave me alone and not bother me anymore. For a while the solution worked, until I began to notice an unmarked white van, with a male driver, taking photographs of me as I entered and left my place of residence. I did not know how to handle the situation at the time as I was scared and didn't know who to turn to. That is when I made the regrettable mistake of returning to the cult, just to get them off of my back.

Now I am doing everything in my power to rid myself of the dismal cult yet again. I am now using more resources than ever before to remove myself from their damning clutch. From my experience, it is not worth your overall health, finances, and security to get involved with this cult. This cult robs you of everything you hold dear, including your sanity, security, family, finances, and freedom. Please, before you jump into something that you are not prepared to do, and give up or sacrifice the things you cherish, do your research, because you will be paying with your life and will be regretting it with every day of your life. It isn't worth it to lose yourself to something that will rob you of you. So many are looking for a way out, and yet they are afraid to leave because it has become a way of life for them. It is possible to leave. It's just a matter of facing the daunting fear that everyone has, and doing it. I really commend those who have left and have become freer souls since leaving.
