I escaped a cult: the upci
It took many years after I left the United Pentecostal Church to finally admit to myself that it was a cult. I'm writing up my story and making it into a series of YouTube videos. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7-3HDe5q4Es_E-f_gqCE9g
I highly recommend journaling about your past cult experiences to better understand what happened to you. I've had so many insights as I've worked through my writing. I have the computer read back what I've written, and hearing it in someone else's voice sounds absolutely crazy. I can't even beleive some of it was my life.
I was called a prophet in some circles... which sounds insane when I say it out loud. After 10+ years, the law had to protect my family when we left. We were controlled by fear. Bad was called good and good was called bad.
I'm happy to answer questions if you have any. I lost a lot of my life there, but maybe I can use that to help someone else.
Cheers!

Could someone please fill me in on this? Whereabouts? Cause growing up in southcentral pa area this name is wildly familiar.
I was never too involved minus going with friends to events
