Growing up in rural America there are two things that you are supposed to get right no matter what else aren't able to change. Number one is that you must give the pretense of fitting in. Number two is that the church is your community. But what happens when your church allows your youth group to be run by the numbers and not for the benefit of spiritual health? And what happens when you're supposed to live by those numbers and fit in? This is my story of how my church youth group used cult tactics, effectively cutting off sheep like me from outside influences, and how I moved past it and back into the daylight of reality. Disclaimer: All events are as accurate as I can portray them. All names and places have been changed.
