Member Stories: Ex -Worldwide Church of God - Guest: Scott Williams - His Life In, then 10 Critical Dark Night Years

 


Born in to the church in Cincinnati, OH, Scott shares the painful 10 years after leaving - losing himself and struggling to survive. - experiencing a "dark night of the soul". He shares what it was like growing up as an Elder's son, his father giving his life to counsel the people who called on him to fix them since he was an Elder and there were no mental health services available in the church. Scott was expected to be perfect and the "example" and feeling in his school years that "they" were "of the world" and he was a special, called out one and just didn't ft in especially since the world was going to end in 6 months so why try. News of mom's critical life threatening illness with no treatment after he'd been gone 10 years. Experience with Mom and Sister at a Powerful Week Long Retreat and how everything changed - lights came on! He's very glad to be free now and with his mind back.
