But what do you do when the organization that you affiliated with changes?

First you notice certain writings are no longer available.

Changes are made in your articles of faith without the necessary steps being followed, and then a resolution designed to cull the herd is introduced in an extra-parliamentary procedure. The justification for this is given by an official who deceives those assembled with numbers he conjures up by "evangelistically speaking."

What do you do when everything that you thought was "in the kingdom" turns out to be one huge scam followed by another?

You pray and allow your spiritual wounds time to heal. You don't beat yourself up when you're not healing fast enough to suit yourself and when you have set backs. You pray for your enemies. Most of all you don't allow yourself to feel as though you are a victim. That's part of the process. Most of all you stay away from those who scammed ya!
