Symbolic Thinking about Cult Life

78

By Cher Anne

Artious? NOT so Much.

As the poison began to seep she writes...the glutinous sea pulled the people of The Way International under ice to a place so dark,where the primal scream cannot be heard, for there is no one their to hear it! Meaning to go in the direction of the promised land..the wind of change took us to the POINT OF NO RETURN. The navigator vpw and the board of trustees laughing all the way to the bank! As the slaves sat(sit)ROWING THE WHITE WASHED SHIP. Mothership-intenational hqs 1.way corps,2.way family corp,3.way college,4.wow ambassador5.way productions the prettiest ship of all,to motivate the slaves as the row. Those who held the handwhips. The way corp(but it was a loving hand whip if their could be one) Their destination all these ships was word over the world via pfal,nonstop. live or die! So with bare essentails on their backs they row and blinders on their eyes never weary,never looking back. Stopping at ports along the way for fresh blood,a new supply to row the white washed ships where the glutinous sea would swallow us up to under ice hypothermia. IF THEY SLAVE BECAME SO WEAK THE CHAINS WERE RELEASED AND THE SLAVE WOULD BE CARED FOR BY THE HAND WHIPERS(to whip them into shape,discipline ect..)so they could possibly come to desire to be handwhippers themselves,if the slave was to weak they'd be thrown out to sea to what appeared to them to be shark infested waters and the slave would plead to the servant of the father of lies as he longed for the slave to. The slave felt security in the chains and obeyed(not questioned leadership) BUT,WHEN THE CHAINS WERE RELEASED some slaves escaped and were able to swim ashore,but when the slave got to the island they spoke a differant language and the slave didn;t understand but felt safe. The islanders didn't see the burns on her back(HER HEART)FROM BEING WHIPPED nor the brand of twi,only when she was alone ...she would see them..she could hide them well. She still could hear them say if you walk away from this....mentally she still was not free. The slave met an islander and married him,the had children and even though the slave was a slave she NEVER EVER wasnted her children to be slaves so..she released them into the hands of the good island people and even though she didn't agree with everything they taught the slave she blended in. They began to love they slave but they never knew she was a slave and at the end of the day she would come home and almost forget that she was a slave then she'd see the scars on her back and know she wasn't their yet and the slave would cry..but nobody heard the cry of the slave,she would play music and cry but,they didn't hear the cry they would only say play more and you know so much of the word say more. But, one day someone heard the cry and it scared the slave and she felt threatened,but the slave saw Jesus in her eye and the good islander helped her and said the Lord,would heal her hurts. ...THEN the slave opened the blackbox and her wounds began to bleed and the islander put balm on the hurts and annointed them,but their were so many more slaves how would we reach them and the slave began to cry like she had never cried before. galations 5:1 for it was freedom the CHRIST SET US FREE

’The language of the heart is symbolic; the language of the mind is literal.’

I'm not quite sure to what cult you are referring. At one time Christianity was a cult, right? A paragraph break or two in this material would help too. Anyway, Be a slave only to your writing, if you want. Later!

Back in the 70's there was a up and coming groovy cult called The Way International. (that is what I was refering

to,not so much as it is nowadays cause it is pretty lame and

small but the backlash of the whip(if you will from back in the "day")

It is almost a poem that describes how one is trapped in a prison of their own and Satan's making. Satan is the author of confusion. He is the one that once a person allows the twisted thinking in will be there non stop to keep the illusions that are maddening going. So many people can't take it and commit suicide even murder. But Jesus is there and He reaches them and many will respond and be healed. The problem is the Stokholm syndrome where people get used to being abused, used to thinking in the pain, used to some of the warped life and everything seems odd and strange and when Jesus says "Come, follow me." they say "No." He will keep trying to get them to follow but He will not take away their dignity by taking away their choice.

Thanks for your response Nobody,it is true and if people are following a Jesus who they say is NOT God,they are walking in darkness. Cults tend to twist scripture and NOT point to the Diety.

I call it Candy Coated Satanism.

wow, you certainly communicate the madness that these religious cults cause internally. I am familiar with the group. I know that it caused marriages to break up and children to suffer. keep writing. I don't believe any of it. religion is cruel disguised with candy wrappers.
