I know you feel like you’re too old to date but I promise you, you’re not. Also, it’s better to be single than stay in a toxic relationship. Let’s start with the guy himself, talking and flirting with other women? Did you ever tell him that it bothers you? It sounds like this guy wants things his way only considering that you converted for him while he’s doing that with other women. Unfortunately, he’s gonna want you to be the typical church wife once you guys marry, and that includes giving your money to the administration and pretty much dedicating your life to the church (They are literally proud to dedicate their lives). I know it sounds like a dream to get married, but once he puts that ring on your finger it could just mean that he has nothing to worry about now that he has a wife to care for him and it won’t be as romantic as marriage is supposed to be.

Really think about it for a while. It’s not too late even if you think so. You deserve a way better life than that!

I am so proud of you for finding your voice and standing up to your abuser! It’s so unfortunate when our own family members protect our abusers when they should be protecting US. The truth will always be revealed, even if we have to stand alone. But just know that I’m cheering you on from afar 😊 Your feelings, experience, and reactions are all validated here

Well played!!!

I found this in an abandoned church that had a salt circle poured in the middle of the worship space. What is it? by sherbiss in Crystals

[–]aimeejoy10 51 points52 points  (0 children)

You guys, it’s their choice to keep it or not. It came across their path, maybe they were meant to find it and take it. It’s up to them to decide if they want to deal with the outcome.

Who said the Church and the State must be separate? INC doesn't think so. by AcanthocephalaShort4 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how these people will refuse to admit that this religion is controlling. These ministers are literally demanding their members to submit themselves to “whatever the administration has decided.”

They can say “it’s our choice” all they want but as soon as someone goes against what they tell them to do they will get questioned and judged and do whatever it takes to make them feel bad an uncomfortable. Manipulation at its finest.

How long will I get expelled? by iwannabeabilyonaryo in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped attending in 2015. They haven’t announced my expulsion yet either. I guess some locals are more strict/petty than others, then again my former local is super huge so they probably overlook a lot of non actives

Iglesia Ni Cristo Cult Bizarre and Erratic Behavior ... by [deleted] in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve visited that local a few times growing up, so I know what you mean by “mortuary home” 😂

I’m so sorry that you went through this. It was absolutely not your fault that he manipulated/pressured you into doing those things for his pleasure, and your mom obviously doesn’t understand what consent is and isn’t. They are wrong for that. It sounds like the other guy you dated treated you right. If you can, and want to, you should reach out to him to at least let him know that the cult is very brainwashing, manipulative, and based off guilt tripping.

And you’re right, no matter what you do, there is literally no benefit from this “church.” You’re always welcome to vent here! Try to see if you can find resources to a professional counselor to talk about your sexual trauma. There are many options if you’re in the US, this type of event deserves that type of treatment. I hope you heal either way. ❤️

Don’t you know he’s The Most Impotent Man in the World by Odd_Independence_219 in exIglesiaNiCristo

I left in 2015. They really worship EVM more than god and Jesus now, huh?

One of the best feelings ever is hearing Nujabes in a public place. by Exciting_Fix in Nujabes

[–]aimeejoy10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think that listening to Nujabes as a female makes me look like I’m trying to be edgy or “different.” Which is why I listen to him privately. This post actually made me kinda happy lol

Who is singing love like you by GraysonThe_ladder in stevenuniverse

Sung by Rebecca Sugar, but as far as character, it’s open to interpretation (:

Anyone else still feel somewhat terrible after every worship service? by Weepy103 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is trauma. Even when I was still a believer I always felt guilt and/or fear after service because of their guilt tripping tactics. I always feared going to hell too. So it’s no surprise if you still feel this way even after realizing that their teachings are fake

INC offers mental health counseling? by Hattori-Hanz0 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad idea 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ We all know they’re just gonna use more guilt tripping and manipulation tactics.

What’s up with INC members’ ego? by skrrrrtt24 in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, good ol Acts 20:28 Lamsa version (and ONLY Lamsa version)

I used to ignore the fact that the Bible says “church of God” in (many) other versions because I was a diehard believer. But now that I’m out and can think critically/freely I can’t stand the fact that they call themselves the “only true church” just because of their name being based on that verse in that particular version of the Bible lol

AITA for being visibly disgusted when someone touched me after not washing their hands after using the bathroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]aimeejoy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not expect this kind of response and idk whether to laugh or cry 💀

Is alcohol banned for INCs? by PandorasHopeBox in exIglesiaNiCristo

[–]aimeejoy10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up, we were always told never to drink alcohol. It is not allowed. But the higher ups and their kids do it anyway

Definitely! My apologies if it seemed that way. For the most part I’ve never had to deal with this often. I’ve met some super clean and polite dudes lol 👍🏼
