decades in the system before walking away and it was imbedded very deeply......
It took decades to tell that you were being taught wrong? Don't blame the system, blame yourself and move on and try everything by the word of God from now on.
Don't blame Just me. The greater responsibility lies with the teachers. They will be held to the higher accountability. When you are taught something from someone in authority whom you are supposed to trust, you normally accept it, until such time as you feel that you cannot trust them. For some people, that takes decades. Some people are more inclined to follow. I do not blame Just Me. I blame the pastors and teachers who led him astray.
Yes you are correct Bob. That is another way they control and manipulate people. They teach trust and obedience to authority (the preacher mainly) at all times. Never question authority (again the preacher) and if you do you are not a proper Christian/servant. I heard many sermons about always submitting to authority and about God placing the authority in our lives to obey and follow.
Just took me several years to see through all the smoke and mirrors.
