Jesus Camp: How religious trauma made me suicidal
NEW: Part 2
Sharing about my experience at Jesus camp. It was more like military training, the pastors called it, “Jesus Boot Camp.“ Years later, I realized I had been brainwashed and part of a cult. Finding my voice -- using it and shining a light on pastors who abused their power to harm others in the name of their god -- now, being an outspoken atheist and finally exposing this part of my past is liberating.

A couple weeks ago I made a video on being indoctrinated and molested. I briefly mentioned my Jesus Boot Camp experience and a few of you wanted to hear that story.
This video gets graphic and I want to say again, that I do not support the damaging idea of self-harm. I used self-harm to escape a cult. Being indoctrinated, only being exposed to bad ideas planted quite a few in my head. I honestly saw self-harm as my only way out of the situation I was in.
Hope you guys are doing well and let me know if you’d like to hear me talk more about how harmful I think religion is.
*** Side note - I absolutely hate that I have the typo “refering“ at 2:25... “referring.“ *facepalm... as a person who loves words as much as I do, that looks horrible. Ugh.. anyway... here’s Wonderwall... lol...
I got to speak with Seth Andrews from The Thinking Atheist a couple years ago about this story:
Also spoke with The Prodigal Boys recently:
