The fear I was talking about was fear a person may not even be aware of until something happens in current events that causes a similar over-reaction to when they were in the Family. An example: When Berg had his first major warning to leave America- Great Escape time, I was very afraid that my newborn child could be caught up in a nuclear nightmare and be killed if I did not get out of the USA quick enough. That's a horrible fear to have! The driven-by-fear continued with so many other nightmares Berg had and "prophetic" (I know consider "pathetic") horrific nuclear disaster/war/alien/ad nauseum coming occurrences. At some point, within the family, I became numb to all this. At some point Berg seemed to let up a bit with a letter that indicated Jesus might not be coming back as soon as he first thought, and horrors might not be right on the back porch. That was during much of the height of FFing. I had gotten to the point of not even being able to read the lit anymore. I was dealing with feelings that FFing was bringing up and I left. I got my head screwed on straight as far as realizing the prophet was poison, my thoughts that resisted were not of the devil but were rational thoughts trying to get thru to me about the nature of the beast (TF). However, it took longer to unload the feelings of deep seated fear that could be triggered when current events focused on the Middle East. I don't have those fears now- those deep seated fears related to family teachings. But I am sure I am not the only person surviving TF who had exaggerated fears for some time after leaving. (when current events triggered these.)
