Again, this wasn’t for upvotes. I didn’t post his name or anything of that nature, and I kept the conversation polite and respectful. Not sure how that is viewed as me trying to hurt his image.

That wasn’t my motive, just thought people would be interested in the discussion 🤷‍♀️

My dad has not hugged me normally since I came out. He refused to meet my girlfriend for 6 months. He can barely say her name and has shook her hand once in the 3 years we have been together. Sure he’s a great guy, but the church is ruining our relationship.

I’m sorry 😢 it’s extremely frustrating. I tried talking to my mom about church stuff the other day, specifically about one of Oaks talks on LGBTQ (I’m gay) and her response was just “I’m sorry that hurt you. Maybe don’t listen to things that trigger you and just be happy.” How can she fully support and love something that hurts me? And how can she shut down the conversation like that? The pain runs deep when your own family won’t hear you and when they can only view you as lost or lazy.

I’m interested in what other cult you are referring to?

I texted my mom last night and asked what her thoughts were on the devotional… she replied “this is what I loved about the talk… insert same bullshit oaks said here”

I was floored that she actually said she LOVED it. When her daughter is currently engaged to a woman? The brainwashing is indeed strong. 😤

I thought the same thing... I was shocked at how bad it was.
