My mother got possessed.....and possessed me to. Now she just shuns me, which is much nicer.

Seems like this was asked before, but what the heck.
Was tired of the churches always asking for money and not getting into the Bible. They offered a Bible Study and the hope of a Paradise on earth was appealing also.
When first started going people were very friendly. Went for 21 years and the light kept getting brighter and brighter so that I could see I needed to get out to preserve my sanity.

Born and raised in the "Truth". Wasn't too bad back in the 40s.

That "CARROT" dangling just out of reach, yet, always within reach. After struggling to get that carrot for over 30 years, well, we did the fade. It turns out that the "CARROT" was and is an illusion afterall.
