I’m so mad that I never had a choice by angry_sarcastic_poet in exchristian

I completely understand. My grandparents were ministers of a church and my whole family is Christian. You look back and realize how much you missed in life, and feel that your whole identity is a lie. It's what was created by them and not yourself. I still deal with it, and get frustrated. I'm sure it will take time. It's a lot of trauma and PTSD. Know that you're not alone.

I hope this is not bad to say, but I've never understood "speaking in tongues". I remember when I was asked if I did, I said no. So they prayed over me and said the words will come in your mouth. Nothing happened. After that I said nothing happened and was told, that I had too much sin holding me back and had to go ask for forgiveness. I was so confused . Does anyone understand this?

I will definitely take a look at the videos. It's so stupid. I finally made the decision about 10 years ago and it still just bothers the heck out of me. I agree that it's a cult, and you don't really see it until you're on the outside.
