Born in, raised in, still in, with no good way out. As the song says: "You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave." seek2find

" Born IN " in 1961, baptised 1978 , stopped going Feb. 2006.

I studied in 1978 and got baptised in 1979 became inactive in 1980 and disassociated in 1986. I can imagine how difficult it is for those that were born in to disentangle themselves from the cult and adjust to life in an environment they never knew.
