Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I’m about 4 months into a Shincheonji “Bible study” course, and I’ve recently realized what it actually is. Looking back, I already feel like I’ve stayed far too long.
Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to get proper closure — and honestly, I’m not sure what the best way is.
There are a few layers to this:
- My two mentors from the course (one older, one around my age)
- My “Bible study partner,” who I genuinely became friends with, but now feel hurt by after understanding the real intention behind everything
- And most of all, a close friend of mine who initially brought me into this without telling me what it actually was
I feel a mix of betrayal, frustration, and also some embarrassment for not realizing sooner.
At this point, I don’t really trust any of them anymore, so I’m hesitant to be emotionally open with them. At the same time, part of me wants to confront them and tell them how wrong this all feels.
For those of you who have been in a similar situation:
- Did you try to get closure, or did you just walk away?
- Is it worth having those conversations, or does it usually just lead nowhere?
- Any advice on how to process this mentally would also be really appreciated.
FYI: I WILL leave. That is as certain as it gets. It's just the question how I'll do it exactly.
Thanks in advance 🙏
