"We were proud to be part of it".

Yes, I was proud and many times I stillt ellmyself that I am proud of the good work I did...

But not so! Immediately after I think that, the question comes to my mind, "if you are so proud how come you are not telling people that you were in the cult?"

For the same reason people in the cult still lie about their association with it and with Berg's teachings. They are shameful and dark and sinnful. Any half-baked Christian would recognized them as horrific distortions of the true light, and a totally dedicated Christian would have no problem discerning the traps on the simnple.

Yes, you are right, I am ashamed of having been duped.
