Linda,
I went to school with you and your sister Cindy, my dad was a deacon at the church, I know about the cult and my parents could not see what was happening. I tried so hard to get out but still until I graduated I was a prisoner there as well. I understand your pain, and sadness I have had counseling for years myself getting through those years of my life and I wanted to thank you for sharing some thoughts on truth, and courage because I have just arrived there myself and it is freeing feeling. Class of 79
Thank you for your courage.

Deborah. Thanks for sharing
I believe that lack of accreditation at these schools and colleges helps these institutions remain cults. We students like yourself and Linda can leave until they graduate and cannot transfer their credits elsewhere because they aren’t accepted, then that situation on
reinforces the control that the administration has over people and their future life opportunities
I am pleased you have now found freedom.
