Obviously, years in a cult setting has programmed most or many to override and ignore the built in early warning systems, first impressions and first opinions. Or at best be confused about if what we initially think is permissible, often based on guilt or fear of what others may think. First impressions or intuition may sometimes or often be God’s way of telling us to be cautious.
In the many bait-and-switch-like situations, i.e. so-called revolutions, during our time in TF, had most taken their initial apprehensions seriously, or perhaps most of all, consulted Gods Word on each issue, things could not so easily gone nuts.
Don’t dismiss this as worldly corrupton without knowing for sure you missed the target.
