@revjo.uu: Replying to @Kristen♡ Instilling a deep fear of hell in a person is giving them religious trauma. And it can take a lot of time and work to become free.

Grew up 4th generation Church of Christ. I remember being terrified at 9 that I was going to hell. It is 100% abusive to teach a child that they are inherently evil and unless they conform to religious expectations they’re going to be forever cut off from their family and tortured. I’m finally breaking that generational curse now that I’m raising children of my own.

A good response to the “what ifs” is to come up with the most ridiculous scenarios. What if I win the lottery? What if I travel back to 18th century Scotland and marry Jamie Fraser? What if my dog learns how to read?

Im destined to hell because I was conceived before marriage. I head it all my life.

The most illogical thing I have ever heard in my life is that a loving God would torture his children in hell. What good father would do the?

I remember in the awana program I told someone I didn’t know if I knew how to believe. And they took me in a room and prayed over me and told me about hell and demons etc and it scared me so bad

The notion being held over your head during childhood and the young adult years is definitely abuse and traumatic.

It means you grow up in an environment *never* feeling safe. To grow out of that has felt like growing a new self!

I whole heartedly understand where you’re coming from. Fear kept me in the faith for far too long. It’s so freeing being on the other side.

You would only have trauma if you were not taught correctly from the Bible.

One of the few very good things to come out of being raised JW - is their belief that hell does not exist. That’s been a huge relief in my decinstructing, adult life.
