The Pente elders told me we had free will. Yet they sought to remove all of my freedom. If you have free will, then why would God (or anyone from the church) put you into a double bind situation that effectively removes your freedom? What would be the point of giving you free will if the intention is for you not to have freedom.

This is something that used to bother me quite a bit....on one hand, God had given me total free will....on the other, he was controlling every part of my life, playing petty games with me......
