I have every single right to criticize said cult, & it's dangerous, destructive, toxic, & abusive practices. It isn't hate speech. Yet, the TSCC, & it's lay leadership, will always call us discriminating, hateful bigots who are against freedom of religion.

I feel the same way in that I feel victimized by the organization that gave ordinary men this fantasy of having imaginary power to speak for diety and have answers to my life revealed to them. Then to make themselves appear strong and powerful (as they had been told they were) these men participated in hazing rituals no better than a fraternity taking advantage of incoming young men that feel a need to be part of a society.

It is abusive.
