I always have been deeply ashamed of the fact that I was in the pente church.  Once I reached maturity and began to get involved in the real world outside of the church, I realized the people who belong to that church are mostly ignorant, lazy, illiterate, mentally challenged, and are definitely NOT the sort of people I would ever want to associate with.  I never admitted my history with pentes to anyone except my husband and that was years and years after we were married.  I finally did tell my children because I wanted them to stay the hell away from it! 

I never wanted anyone to ever believe that anything about the pente church or the people in the pente church was related to me in any way.  So I can only tell you that was my way of handling it.
