These are the primary ways in which I was impacted by having this kind of childhood.īible verses like “idle work is the devil’s hands” were used as the basis for the ground rules that the Move of God cult implemented for its young members. Everything outside the forest was presented to us as being far more terrifying than the secluded and secure life that we led in the service of God. My life was an abusive reenactment of the movie “ The Village,” and I had no contact with the outside world. Up until the age of fourteen, I was completely isolated from the rest of society. My autobiography, titled “ Cult Child,” details how I was taken in by a wilderness cult when I was only three years old. In my mind, that world existed within the context of a terrifying movie. Being a child who has been abused is like growing up in a world where everything is backward.
