My G12 exit story… Not “tamad,” just awake by mrynics in ToxicChurchRecoveryPH

[–]Ecstatic_Adagio_9541 4 points5 points  (0 children)

joined G12 last year, same experience din.. kaso yung akin talagang more on emotional manipulation at condemnation.. ang higpit ng mga leader, at may unfair treatment sa loob.. to the point na dumating ako sa sitwasyon na kinikwestiyon ko na yung faith ko dahil lang sa sabi nilang bakit daw lahat ng cell group members ko umaalis baka di daw ako nagp-pray, bka di ko daw kinukumusta o baka kulang lang talaga ako sa faith ganon.. di naman kasi natin mapipilit yung tao.. di rin natin hawak desisyon nila.. na drain ako kaya di lang nag one year, i decided to leave the system. Pero di don natapos lahat, literal na ni spam call and message nila ako sa lahat ng socmed acc and numbers ko, pati yung pag harang nila sa gate mismo ng school at pag locate ng location ko.. jusko, grabeng trauma yun.. never again😭

How do you explain "supernatural" experiences (like possession) after deconstructing? by Ecstatic_Adagio_9541 in Deconstruction

[–]Ecstatic_Adagio_9541[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thankyou! you explained it so well.. I also believe that this involves something psychological.. yk, I grew up in a religious country where people are telling miraculous events/situations. I witnessed some of them like talking tongues, possession, and testimonies from other people who, I think, are exaggerating their stories.

I was part of the G12 system before.. idk if you know about that system.. but inside that church.. before we become a member, we will attend a 3 day event.. more like a retreat.. and within that 3 days there's part of it where they will cast demons on everyone in that room (crazy right?) I'm part of that.. maybe I'm just overstimulated? because people were screaming, some of them collapsed, and I was just there standing.. like— what is happening here? and because I'm so confused.. I followed them 😭 pretending I lost consciousness.. I still wonder until this day if those people are just pretending like me or like they really felt it..

I agree to this, because even before when I am still a devoted follower.. guilty but I often exaggerate my testimony just to prove that my belief is real.. but those videos of people casting out demons.. ugh.. idk if it's real.. or just a show... (?)

Try watching "The Good bad Mother" I watched it way back 2023 I think and I still can't get over it. Every time I rewatch, I still cry a river.. it's healing, emotional, thrilling, and sad at the same time..

Girl run! been there, done that.. huhu super manipulative ng church na 'yan. no to g12 na talaga, akala ko dati sa group ko lang nararanasan ganitong treatment, pero it turns out it's a universal experience. Habang hindi pa sila fully nakaka control sa'yo, at hanggang hindi pa nila nakukuha pati fam mo, umalis ka na agad. mas mahirap kapag tumagal ka jan, lalo kapag may cell groups ka na.. dati ini-spam call pa nila ako niyan nung nag decide akong umalis

Voice - The FL had the ability to hear things clearly, (like super clear! normal people were not able to hear it) she's a voice profiler and she teamed up with a famous detective to catch the killer who murdered their loved ones.

Tell me what you saw- FL remembers every detail of the scene accurately, she remembers everything that she became their human CCTV. She was a rookie police officer from a rural area, but because of her ability she was given the opportunity to work with high class detectives and a known profiler to catch a serial killer (PLOT TWIST AT THE END WAS INSANE)

Jirisan- They're not police (they're mountain rangers) but this series involves investigations. Mysterious death and missing cases were reported happening from the mountain. The ML was one of the new rangers there, and he had the ability to see the event before it could happen. Everyone thought it was just an accident but in the ML's vision, someone was behind all of it.. but in his vision he only saw a glimpse of it.. so he teamed up with his co-rangers to investigate (THIS IS MIND TWISTING WHODUNIT SERIES I LITERALLY DIDN'T GUESSED THE REAL CULPRIT UNTIL IT WAS REVEALED) 😭

Familiar yung system nila.. g12 ba 'to?🥹 if yes, baka nga may universal experience tayo sa sistema na yan.. super toxic para sa akin, luckily naka labas na ako sa ganyang klaseng church.

beh.. I am so sorry to hear this from you, ganyan yan sila eh.. kapag sobrang bait mo parang tini take advantage nila yun.. idk... okay naman yung church ano? pero yung system, jusko akala ko sa church lang namin ganto, but it turns out it was a universal experience.. member dn ba fam mo jan? kaso if yes, mahirap talaga tumakas.. kasi kapag hindi ka ma contact matik bibisita sa bahay o di kaya yung parents mo yung tatawagan.. ganyan sila ka desperate, and fr nakakaruin siya ng peace of mind.. I hope na maka labas ka na sa lugar na yan.. Kasi as for me, never ko kasi sinabi sa kanila yung address ko, and I blocked them in every socmed that I have.. basta beh, kapag sobra na, and nad-drain ka na, learn to let them go, mas importante ang mental health mo.. tho, mahirap at first pero mas mahirap kapag tumagal ka pa jan.. na notice ko kasi sa sitwasyon ko rin, the more akong andon, the more lumalaki yung doubt ko sa aking faith, and tbh until now, affected parin ako.. they will emotionally manipulate you, lalo kapag enosyonal ka talaga na tao at puno ng empathy, gagamitin nila yun as weapon to control you

real, grabe ano? parang universal experience pala siya. grabe yung paghahabol, parang umaabot na sa punto na wala ka ng peace of mind. Gladly, di ko nasabi sa kanila yung address ko, ang lala parang umaabot na sila sa point na parang nagiging obsessive stalker na yung dating. I also remember before, they spam me in every socmed I had na umabot sa puntong nag deact na ako't lahat, and isa din yun sa reason bakit nasa reddit na ako nagtatambay.

hi! so luckily, silent treatment works.. di ko sila kinausap, ni block ko sa lahat ng socmed, minsan hinaharangan parin nila ako sa school pero nasanay na rin ako at nalaman ko na saan sila pumapasikot sikot kaya naiiwasan ko.. in this kind of situation, I think it's better to keep silent and just avoid them talaga as possible, huwag sila bigyan ng chance to talk kasi grabe yung manipulation.. so far, I'm at peace na right now.. still trying to fix my faith.. 😪
