Born and Raised in a Religious Cult

The author of this website was born into and brought up within a Christian religious cult. The cult wasn’t always a cult – originally it was a non-denominational group of Christians seeking to re-establish pure bible based doctrine and practice.

if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another – 1 John 1:7 NIV

Over 50 years ago, however, one of the leaders of this bible-based Christian group took them in a more cultish direction, introducing many new rules along with classic cult control techniques similar to those used by Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and many other religious cults.

Subsequent leaders have continued this trend, leading to increasing levels of centralised control over every element of the daily lives of its members, and the introduction of new concepts that seem to borrow elements from Jewish tradition and Roman Catholic doctrine.

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. – Acts 20:29 NKJV

Set Free

Fortunately, I had sincere Christian parents who led me to Jesus at a young age, and while that initial conversion was then quickly smothered under the works-based religion of the cult, in recent years, a series of events have opened my eyes and brought me back into freedom.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. – Galatians 5:1 KJV
