I never thought of it that way. It makes so much sense. We were slaves to the "cult". We sold out and dedicated all that we had to it's objectives. That being to control our thoughts, wills, emotions, money and relationships. We did it all for the advancement of the "cult". In the end we were left empty and the "cult" thrived because it emptied US of US. There is no church, or organization that can save us from the "cult". It is Jesus Christ and the help of loving individuals that help us out of the "cult". Yes I was vulnerable, exposed and helpless. Which is usually what it takes for there to be a change. We must be vulnerable to desire FREEDOM and get it! “CULT”? I never thought of it that way. It makes so much sense. We were slaves to the “cult”.

Churches and Cults do prey on people with problems, like this one, and they bring about even bigger problems for all concerned. Having a porn problem can be bad enough--but I suppose there are worse things.... Just so that you'll know, the Purity Project has members from a lot of different churches and isn't a "ministry" of any single church. We are a Christ centered group; but, here is the big difference--or what we feel is a difference: We are here to tell you what's worked for us--not get you to join a particular church--or even our group. Everyone of us in the Purity Project will readily admit that we've lived lifes of hypocrisy (ouch! that hurts to admit that! :)) The difference between who we once were and what we are NOW is that have a story to tell about our deliverance! We want everyone to know about the great joy we have in our lives because we no longer have porn in our lives. This freedom is somthing we never dreamed could be ours. This was not something we did ourselves--it was something that Christ did for us. Believe me, I can hardly believe I saying this because I used to HATE hearing stuff like this. But it is the absolute truth! I love truth more than I like preaching! I'm pretty certain I don't qualify as a member of a cult (I'm saying this with a smile on my face)--but I certainly would have qualified as a Cult member when I was addicted to porn! I was owned by pornography and self-gratification and I could think of nothing else. I had to have my fix everyday. I don't know if what I've written is satisfactory; but, my sincere hope is that I can help anyone who wishes to begin their journey of healing. Well, you may have a point here.

I think it cuts to the chase and makes some very valid points but "The Purity Project" makes me suspect of their true intentions. Many churches and cults seek vulnerable people, like those with addictions, to offer a "cure" and convert.
