      I recently saw a shirt for sale online that says, “I’m sorry for everything I said when I was evangelical,” and that really just about sums it up.

      I didn’t figure my way out until I was in my 30s. Been out of it for over a decade.

      I was brainwashed, my head was full of carefully crafted indoctrination. My extended family will almost certainly never be free of it.

      We were subjected to an evil process from an early age. It’s not our fault. Losing the hate and guilt is also a process. Go easy on yourself. Takes a tough person to change their entire worldview. Only a few of us make it out.
