概要
As kids in a high-control religious group, we were taught that questioning was dangerous. But growing up comes with instincts—quiet, sharp, undeniable—and this is the moment those instincts began to wake up.
In this episode, we revisit the first signs that the world we lived in wasn’t what it seemed. Subtle slips, forbidden glimpses, and unspoken rules revealed how controlled our lives truly were. Adolescence sharpened our awareness: noticing inconsistencies, decoding the power structure, and realizing that the group’s rituals weren’t just traditions… they were tactics.
As the illusion cracked, internal conflict rose with it—loyalty, fear, doubt, and the silent reasoning that kept us compliant even as everything inside us whispered that something was wrong.
This is the turning point in every cult survivor’s story: when innocence meets suspicion, instinct meets indoctrination, and the truth starts to whisper from the edges.
