Intro

From the ages of 18 until 46 I was involved with a bible-based fundamentalist group, The Way International. I exited in latter 2005; my husband and children exited within 8 months of that time. Our family had wonderful, rich times in The Way as well as the unpleasant experiences (abuses) that go along with totalistic groups. My husband and I volunteered with The Way in local leadership capacities throughout our decades of involvement.  I also participated in The Way's leadership and (then) outreach programs known as The Way Corps and Word Over the World Ambassadors, respectively.   Prior to The Way I was involved with various schools of thought including Transcendatal Meditation, fundamental Protestantism, and the Charismatic movement.  I am interested in the Recovery From Religion project to help myself and others continue to discover hope and restoration, honoring the many events and emotions of one's journey. An activity that helps me continue to discover myself is writing, mainly journaling and poetry. I believe fully that there are no non-persons; there are no non-events.
