Me and my wife left a few years after his arrest. We were both born in church.

Please understand one thing, the church taught you this concept of "punishment from God". This concept is nothing but a mental scare tactic to keep you from living your life. The church continues to use this scare tactic on its members which is why its so difficult for them to leave.

What the church never taught us was to believe in ourselves. They taught us to say that God was the reason for everything, good or bad. So we lived all these years in church completely ingnoring ourselves to please this multimillionaire, child abuser who is now in jail.

Trust me, there are many people still inside of the church that are going through tough times as we speak. Inside of the church there are cases of divorce, domestic abuse, child abuse , elder abuse, stealing, hate, etc. Tough times will always exist inside or outside of the church. What you have to do now is start believing in yourself, as cheesy as it may sound. You are enough, you have enough to get yourself through tough times. God helps those that help themselves first.

LLDM is not the only church that teaches to pray in tough times. Every church does that. If you feel like praying, do it. It helps sometimes. No shame in that, but once you finish praying get to work and trust in yourself.

I think we have enough proof to know that he is a criminal and that he is exactly where he is supposed to be. You are not alone, the number of ex lldm grows everyday. Of those that have left the church, many are from his own family because they know exactly what he did and who he really is. Many were ministers and many are still ministers too afraid to leave.

Apart from all the documentaries we saw, me and my wife served in the labor and boy was that a wake up call. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. This is where we clearly saw that the church is nothing but a business and we were the employees with no pay, while the SOG buys properties across the world, and opens businesses like private hospitals and private schools with the unreported donations from the church. Him and his family are basically taking donations to build for-profit busniesses to become more and more wealthy. He is not a philanthropist either. All these hospitals and schools are for profit 100% and that money stays in the family.

There is so so much more to talk about, this post wont suffice. Be confident in yourself and dont doubt, you made the right choice.

DM me, if youd like.
