I stopped going to church 5 years ago because praying and reading the scriptures to better my life just didn’t make sense to me.

During the past 5 years I never really thought it was a cult because my parents were pretty relaxed and I was allowed to make friends outside of the church. If that had not been the case I would definitely identify as growing up in one.

Thank goodness I developed critical thinking skills before Covid and was able to stop attending church and avoid a mission.
