Honestly? I cannot tell you what I just read. It was intense and deep and mind hurting. This young girl wanted nothing but friends, and to experience the college experience away from home. She wanted her own life, and what did that get her? A fucking cult? Like who the literal hell uses Christianity to shape their own version of religion and convinces people to do their bidding just so they don’t burn in hell and have the promise of their version of afterlife? It was so sick and twisted how they messed with her mind, like literally brainwashed her into believe everything they said. This was manipulation at its finest, toxic mindset and truly psychologically thrilling. I hated it in the best way possible. 

Favourite quote: ““They made me feel like I belonged, like my existence truly mattered. They made me feel loved. And for most of us, that’s enough.””
