Be true to your cult, ctd

When Karen Hinkley (formerly Karen Root) discovered that her missionary-husband was a pedophile, she had their marriage annulled and left their church when it mobilized to protect him. So, naturally, she being the only actual grown-up in this drama, they turned on her. The letter and emails make a depressing — but instructive — read.

Religions are just cults that made it to the Big Time and, as Christianity shrinks and megachurches scramble to make the bills, they return to the cult origins that enabled their survival in a hostile environment that knew what they were. Expect to see a lot more of this as their decline continues.
