My name is Lesa and I am a recovering cult member.
I grew up in the World Wide Church Of God “The Church” and I think is many ways it stopped me from being the person I was supposed to be .. I will read all your stories and then write some of mine and […]
Hi, I just saw your blog… I grew up in “the church” from birth (I was even born during the feast of tabernacles) its nice to know I’m not the only one jaded by the twisted logic they drilled in. I was born in 1985 and attended till I was about 10 or 12 […]
Hi,
I have just read your blog, and like you I grew up in the WCG (UK) with my sister and brothers. At one time I believed everything that I was told by my parents and the church. Had some good times as a teen going of to S.E.P camp in Scotland 5 times, and at […]

Today is Easter Sunday. On the television they are playing a Catholic mass. Everything about it seems so foreign to me: the organ and choir music, […]

As most of you well know (and as I am constantly reminding many of you), I was raised in an Anglo-Israelist endtime cult called “The Worldwide Church of God.” I was born into and raised in “The Church” until I was about fifteen years old, when most of the national and international congregations splintered and […]

My name is Kayla, I was born into the WCG in 1982. I found your site tonight when I decided to look for some type of support group for people who were raised in this cult. it feels so awesome to finally know there are people who went through the same teachings and […]
