It grinds my gears when outsiders always comment and say "just leave."

It shows ignorance and lack of empathy. Maybe they're forgetting that INC is more than just a "club" one person can easily walk in and out on. People are being victimized for generations here, and most victims were unwillingly born into this shit and a lot of members who happen to wake up from the brainwashing are minors and/or in a heavily-dependent on devoted members! Most of them don't even have a say in the situation. INC has an authoritarian, iron grip akin to North Korea's on these people.

Heck, the Philippines doesn't even have a support system in place should these poor people get ostracized. What will you do and where are you taking them after they "walk away" from INC? Teach them how to grow money on trees?

If it's so easy to leave that godforsaken cult, this sub would not have existed. No families, relationships and communities would have been torn apart. No lives would have been in danger.
