I spent about 4 years in the COG in the 70's. It took me alot of therapy and alot of reflection to get out of that type of thinking.
Your friend was trained from birth that he was "shit" and was somehow born tainted.
You can't just shake this sort of conditioning off.
Part of my journey was to find my own true spiritual belief and not to rely on "mo letters" or "leaders" to tell me what was good or bad.
