'We all lived in the same community, within 10 minutes of each other. You weren't allowed to talk to anyone outside of that' (via toofab)

Bethany Joy Lenz spent a decade of her life in what she describes as a cult, but she hasn't given many details about the experience. She says that she's considered writing a book because"there's a lot to tell" but isn’t sure if she can legally do so.

"I was in a cult for 10 years. That would be a really valuable experience to write about, and the recovery -- you know, 10 years of recovery after that," she said on herpodcast."I don't know how much I can say because there are still people and legal things in place that make it more complicated for the timing of that."Growing up, Joaquin and his siblings -- River, Rain, Liberty and Summer -- were connected with a religious movement, The Children of God.

"My parents had a religious experience and felt strongly about it. They wanted to share that with other people who wanted to talk about their experience with religion. These friends were like, 'Oh, we believe in Jesus as well,'" he told."I think my parents thought they'd found a community that shared their ideals. Cults rarely advertise themselves as such. It's usually someone saying, 'We're like-minded people.

He continued,"As I understand it, you're on the outside of that group until you're accepted. I don’t think we ever got to that point, because frankly, as it got closer, I think my parents went, 'Wait a minute. This is more than a religious community. There's something else going on here, and this doesn’t seem right,' so they left very early on.

"You basically weren't allowed to do anything, or you were made to feel guilty about any unnatural desire," she told."If you talk to anybody who was in a group that basically dictates how you're supposed to live and what you're supposed to say and how you're supposed to feel, from the time you're 7 till the time you’re 22, it has a profound impact on you. It's something you have to [consciously overcome] because all of your trigger points are.
