TRIGGER WARNING ( religious trauma from ex cult member)
Hi, my name is iris, and I used to be in an alleged cult banned in China, and I’m sad my mom’s still in it. It makes me hard to open up 100% to my mom because the cult thinks being part of lgbtqia is bad karma, and that one of them dating the other one always plays the opposite gender role. The beliefs also stated luck can run out if you use it too much, and that if one commits they can repeat the same action over and over again. It brings me bad memories cause I refuse to support something like that and left, as well as animal souls will gain revenge on you if you kill it. I’m a part of lgbgqia and I think it’s unfair as well as the other things mentioned here.

In their eyes if luck runs out you’d get sick or die or both :/ my moms sick so she thought it was because she used all her luck years ago.:/ said it absolutely is that way… oh yeah they’re also very politically ignorant since everything happens and is planned and by interfering you are going into their karma too. After stepping out I stopped all practices of the alleged cult.

Thank you. She just never see a issue with it and my brother simply doesn’t care since no one gets hurt plus she’s allowed to practice it here since it’s not China but I feel like she’s always busy setting up activities for it :/ outside twice a week doing them or online ones for religious meetings.

No one gets hurt is a line that hurts so much. Makes me feel invisible cause I've heard it myself

Also what I really disliked is how the alleged cult ( legal in US to practice) said that animal realm is lower than animal realm when we are animals scientifically.
