Loneliness and the feeling that you will never be healed, understood or useful as a servant of God crush an already bowed down child of the Father. Since the cult set the boundaries for you, and you are now on your own, you can feel like a city without walls. What do you believe? Who do you listen to or trust? Is trust even possible again? What is real holiness and obedience, and what is legalism and will-worship? These and many more questions about living the Christian life are bewildering. Some of these questions last for years since the foundations of the faith have to be rebuilt stone-by-stone.
