This rings so true for me and how I came out of my hypnosis in the fundamental Baptist regime. I am grateful I was able to emerge from the trance, brainwashing, and see the world for what it is. We were not protected from the perils of life within the church. Hypocrisy, backstabbing, nepotism abounded. What I am grateful for now, although I couldn't see it then or for a long time, was that the trouble I found myself in which was responsible for my family leaving the church/school complex led to my freedom of mind and spirit. I am learning to practice gratitude instead of resentment and anger over the situation.
