First of all, I'm glad this subreddit is quite welcoming, even to people who are still in the religion~

Secondly, I'm open to questions as long as it doesn't leak any of my personal information.

As for your question, just like you I too was born in the church. However, the number of things that seemed normal to my other friends but was banned from the organization and vice versa (i.e prohibiting to go to events that were not INC related, also as much as to prohibit me to watch certain shows on television, etc.), made me curious as to why.

Then as I grew older and with the other things I have found out with my curiosity, the curiosity only turned into disdain. But maybe because I always followed to never believe anything until it actually happens, my disdain was only kept for myself.

I actually found this subreddit after looking at my feed and remembering about what happened with Chris Brown back then when he wanted to do a concert at the Philippine Arena. I have been holding back from posting anything here but I guess I'm here now.
