People are still screaming at exvangelicals to “go get their people” and let me tell you . . . It does not work. I understand the pain and frustration, but screaming at the people who were abused by their parents and community constantly to “do something” is misguided and frankly cruel.

If it was easy to get people out of totalizing high control groups / cults then we would have done it by now!!!
Deny reality that contradicts your worldview
Refuse to take accountability
Punish those who do not obey/ agree with you
Now that everyone in the world is seeing how fucked up this is, maybe have some compassion for people who grew up with parents like this?
I can say women should submit to husbands harder and give abuse advice to age of eldest child. As I could never have had kids thanks to what happened bc I signed a TLW pledge, I cannot even warn them about that.
An SBC woman can teach kids about the writing on the wall but can't use the story as a source to anyone higher in the hierarchy. 2 decades ago, it's probably worse now.
