Summary

We each came from different cult backgroundsโ€”Christian Science, Jehovahโ€™s Witness, New Thoughtโ€”and describe how God led us out of mind control and false teachings. Growing up in these groups, we believed only their teachings were correct, and we were discouraged from questioning their extra-biblical beliefs. Over time, the emptiness, contradictions, and fear tactics drove us to search the Bible ourselves and discover the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, we warn others about the deceptive nature of these cults and guide those seeking freedom to authentic faith in Godโ€™s Word.
