Length of Humiliation
From Tom Doggett ~
Just read Dr. Winell's article about RTS. Never have I felt such recognition, validation and gratitude! I'm a fundamentalist Preacher's son. I first "left the church" at age seventeen. I'm now sixty eight, and I wish to verify that those scars have festered self-doubt, depression and all the symptoms Dr. Winell describes throughout my life, because they were unrecognized and untreated.
But Dr. Winell's article describes ME, to a T. I am so humiliated that it took a lifetime of suffering for someone to tell me I have a RIGHT to feel the way I do:I'm not crazy, just older and very tired of the abuses of religion. The Emperor has been naked for years. He's not benevolent at all.
