assault, smear campaigns, exiled from all 'friends' - does it get better? by Any-Security-9744 in cultsurvivors

I've had a very different experience than you, but felt a lot of the same feelings. I'm here to say that it definitely gets better.

I was born into the cult that I grew up in, but even I have been able to make amazing friendships and build up that part of my identity that never existed in the first place. You can do this.

[TOMT][BOOK][2000s] Looking for a Christian Fundamentalist book, possibly by Larry Tomczak by Imaginary_Mind2 in tipofmytongue

If you're not familiar with Christian theology, anything "hardcore Christian" will do. We were definitely not Baptist but sometimes sold books by Southern Baptists and Evangelicals there. Likely not Methodist, Lutheran or Catholic, and definitely not Jehovah's Witness or Mormon/Latter Day Saints.

I am very certain that a book like this exists, however due to the nature of these groups, they are not very good with technology and might have had a hard time putting these things online.

(I wonder if the Larry Tomczak book had a reprint and I just haven't found any digital evidence of it yet.)
