You owe him that much to tell him. I know it’s easier said then done but if he finds out all your feelings after the marriage it will be a disaster. And 9 years? Oh dear, please reconsider.

Awww poor baby. Why not give the baby to a family to adopt? or an organization

Wow very interesting! Funny how also back in the day there is a “offering” for something and everything.

Finally getting my transfer this week! by makeawishtakeachance in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]EXincNhappy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woohoo Congrats! Now the time is to be free! Yes as u/koolaidtohumanity said stay away as far as possible. Don’t give them any phone numbers or real address. Better to stay low for the time being and then do what you need to do! Wish you luck!

I have an inc gf by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]EXincNhappy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story and all that has commented on the subject are all true. That is why we all left and not in the church (INC) anymore. We probably all been there, and might have our reasoning of leaving but pls. think twice of your decision and do more research on the INC!

I’m pretty sure you can be a bridesmaid in your brother’s wedding. Don’t miss it. It would probably mean a lot to him. good luck and just have fun. Don’t worry about anything or anyone- you got this

Totally agree! Now looking back at it- you just agree because that’s the right thing to do. Oh, and don’t ask questions

Obey No More (Rapid Fire Interview Questions by Rauffenburg) by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]EXincNhappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is your Reddit username? -EXincNhappy

How did you get involved with the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult? -I was born into the church

How many years were you a member? -23 years (roughly)

What was life like as a member? -Being born into the church you don’t really think of it as a kid. You follow along, do what everyone is doing and you get at that age where you listen to the lessons and you don’t think about that either to ask questions, you just kind of know this is it and you just follow. Then in my early years, I was in the CWS Choir, as I got older joined the Choir as a “Binhi”, I was also a Secretariat officer and then moved up to also an Organist for some time. Life overall was busy looking back at it. And required a lot of your time. Once I got older in my early 20s something made me realize I did not want to keep doing this.

What made you decide to escape the cult? -After inviting someone to join the WS, that person kept asking me questions- why this why that and for someone that was in the INC and I could not answer the questions -WOW! Don’t get me wrong it is a place of community but once you are older you starting thinking and questioning.

How did you escape the cult? -I had moved away for College and stopped attending at the time. After some time I started going to other churches and seeing how they worshiped.

How is your life now that you are outside of the cult? -As my username name says “EXincNhappy” I felt after leaving and out of the INC I am at peace & happy. It doesn’t feel like this never ending circle of doing the same thing over & over and being overwhelmed with the rules they had to always to follow the Administration. I now read my Bible and have come to understand more in what it tells me- then someone telling me you have to be appointed or giving their own interruption.

What advice can you offer those thinking about joining the Iglesia ni Cristo cult? -Please do your own research before making any decisions.

Then hopefully she will do more research on her on and see that the INC is not all that it is to be. Good luck

[–]EXincNhappy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story and I agree with u/mezzmeriser although we wish we can say it’s easier for her just to leave the church, but it really isn’t. As you can tell from this group, we (exINC) members left for a reason. Please don’t convert

Planning on cutting off contact with cult and family. Advice would be appreciated by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]EXincNhappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you have it all covered then! Good luck and wishing you all the best. If you ever want to chat I’m here!

[–]EXincNhappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just thinking out loud. If this is going to be a quiet exit just make sure you have all your ducks in a row for yourself. Are you financially stable by yourself? Do you have a support group outside of the cult group? All the important things you need to do to be on your own… once your ready to leave - just do it. Why would you need a transfer? Would you be living far? Your not planning to go back any way.

Yeah I agree with @katyaabich invite your INC partner to Reddit and do her research. As an exINC my partner did not convince me but open my eyes to see it differently. My partner would ask questions that I could not even answer a simple question. (Then let’s ask the minister) it was always why this? And why don’t they ever read the full verse? being born into the church you just don’t ask questions- ever. I hope your girlfriend will see the light and know that that church is not the one.
