Common Fears of Those Leaving the Cult

Common Questions of Fear when Exiting the 2x2 cult

Who will I meet with?

Hah. That's such funny now that I look back on it. It was a real fear before. Not now:) There are tons of people around who would love to have fellowship with you and show you God's love. Click on the contact link on the bottom, fill it out and I'll find someone to get in touch with. Pray that God will lead you into fellowship with others. Talk with neighbors and find out who is a Christian. Within a week you'll probably have a new-found friend that will make you giddy with happiness to have a friend who cares.

What about going to meetings?

Oh really? What about sticking my head in a toilet? OK, all right. Maybe sticking my head in a toilet isn't as bad as going to meetings. But we're all in habits of going to meetings (or I used to be). So do something else to take its place. Read your Bible for an hour. Figure out what the Bible is really saying. (More on that later, see Real Bible studies) You can go visit with neighbors. Visit local churches, learn about other people. But it's very important to substitute something healthy instead of the hour long propaganda of meetings and actually learn something. We're all creatures of habit. Make a commitment to spend that hour doing something profitable instead. Did you know that there is nothing in the Bible that says "it's a sin to not go to meetings?" God doesn't like liars and deceivers. He doesn't want you to go to meetings. He wants to get to know YOU. He loves YOU. He cares about YOU. Get to know him. Can you list the ten commandments? AND how many years have you been going to meetings? OK, so we figure out later that we didn't learn much of anything in meetings. Nows the time to learn God's will and obey Him. Ok, I'll get on to the next one.

How Will my 2x2 Relatives Treat Me?

They may:
  1. Shun you
  2. Defame you: "They're having emotional issues", "They're mental"
  3. Tell lies about you: "They're starting their own church", "They've lost out"
  4. Not leave you an inheritance
  5. Not invite you to holiday events

What about my spouse?

Well, I'm not married, never been married. But I do know these things. God loves you. God loves your spouse. Women must submit to their husbands (as it is fit in the Lord). Men must love their wives. God said so, not me. You break the rules, you answer to Him. You love God, you're going to get the blessing, I kid you not. It's against my faith in God to go to meetings. It's against my faith in God to praise the workers who have done so much damage (oh yeah, I was a worker and deceived people to. Watch out for people who are like I was :) Paul has a lot to write about the issue. Read all about it:

Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Notice how God rewards people whether or not the spouse does. Some spouses are just lame from what I hear. Praise God that He won't let us down.

What about my kids?

Praise God you're getting out. Maybe now they will have a chance. Kids aren't naive to what goes on. They want to know what's going on. Tell them. Tell them you love God, you're tired of the abuse and you want them to grow up in a healthy environment where people are motivated by love of God and the fear of God instead of the traditions and lies of men and the slander, libel and threats of the workers.

Examples of vain traditions, lies and threats

  • Vain tradition: going to meetings to be taught by uneducated people who abuse you. Why go to meeting if you don't learn anything that is useful for everyday life?
  • Lies - the group wasn't from the beginning. It was started by William Irvine. Being a 2x2 does not save you. Having faith in God does save.
  • Threats - the workers may threaten you that there will be "severe consequences". Spouses may threaten to leave you (did they really ever love you then). Relatives may threaten to shun you.

    Questions:

    1. Would you want to continue to live in a cult where they maintain order by unBiblical threats?
    2. Would you feel good about using threats to maintain control in a group of people trying to know God?
    3. Did Jesus teach people to threaten others?
    4. Did Jesus teach others to use slander to manipulate others through deception?
    I grew up in the Workers' Way and saw that the workers very softly and sweetly taught subtle lies in guile; I learned to associate "kindness" and "nice"-acting people with lies. I became confrontational to get answers. Now I'm learning to speak the full truth in love.
