Had I known of your personal experience I likely would have not brought that FLDS thing up. That must have been some tough sledding for you, but at least your folks weren't
FLDS. I'm glad that my parents were casual Catholics and never really bothered me much on the topic. I sympathize with what you likely went through, but I can't empathize because
I really can't imagine what it would have been like growing up with a lot of religious doctrine.
I'd heard of the Worldwide Church but don't know anything about their particular sidewalk act. However, based on your description, it had a very common element that a lot of cults
have-- a founder claims that they know the REAL story based on finding a particular document or piece of key information and therefore they are big boss of the ONE TRUE CHURCH.
Arithmetic is not my specialty, but if there are 400 different groups claiming that they are the only One True Church then at least 399 of them are mistaken.
No offense to anybody here that is actually part of the real and actual one true church. Hey, congratulations, you beat the odds.
