I was raised in a cult. I left when I went to college, but didn't really process any of that. I became Catholic and have been slowly losing my patience with the Church over the sex abuse crisis. When my successful weight loss triggered painful traumatic events from my past, I realized that the dysfunctional religion I was raised in had hurt me as much as my dysfunctional family. Now I'm smashing idols to see if any treasure remains among the rubble. It's a messy process.

Historical Assemblies of G-d Ministry Stuff
Well, here's some interesting memorabilia I found while web surfing.
I don't really know what "Assemblies of God" is...be it a denomination or just popular church group, but I did look at the memorbillia and see the sign with figures on Attendance, Attendance Goal, Offering amount" and think, Wow(along with ouch and small blood pressure spike)...do churches still do that? I hope NOT! Hope all is well. If you are not writing for this series anymore, no problem! Im glad to meet. As always, love from Holland, Jasmine
