It is not how many abusive details that a survivor can recount and describe in order for their story to be considered important. It is how the individual perceived their experience to be detrimental, or even life shattering, that counts. Telling your story turns it into a history that can eventually be left behind and frees you to some extent, making it easier to create a new life for yourself. You have developed strengths because of all you have endured, and you are a unique individual with purpose. These child survivors have written on subjects that are close to their heart and which they have felt would be helpful to others that grew up in Worldwide Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, or abusive offshoots. Many lives have been touched as others realize they are not alone in their feelings of pain and grief. Pseudonyms are given for anonymity, unless otherwise noted. Stories are not necessarily listed in order received.
