How poetry saved me from a cult | Diannely Antigua | TEDxPortsmouth

[@velvettrose2327]

Truly thank for your story. I wrote at a young age writing poetry to cover up my pain too. I relate so much on a lot of the stories you explained, I relate so much etc… Thank you. I feel more Inspired to tell mines. Thank you! 💐💐🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾☀️

Awesome presentation, thank you for sharing. How true your words are! Cults cost people their lives, their families and peace of mind, for what they teach as truth, isn't truth. I went so far as to study religions, and found that all religious belief systems are cults. Thank you for bravely telling your true story and helping others to see the traps and pitfalls of joining with fanatics, most of whom are spiritually illiterate and uneducated. Being a loving spiritual person is the opposite of being a false religion recruiter + supporter, thank you for pointing out this trap. I really enjoyed your poetry, it will help many break free. Thank you for sharing. Sending love to all of you there from all of us here in Ontario Canada. ❤️🎶☃️

I'm actually brought to tears..

[@kevinwilliams3272]

A sad story but with a wonderful ending. A talk of a rare intensity and a rare profoundness. I have one regret for something left unanswered: you were the first to escape from the "church", and later all the others walked out, but what exactly brought about the mass exodus? And I could add a second question: what happened to the pastor, who was anything but a man of God? Your poetry is masterpiece material, your hairstyle is also a work of art. You're a stunningly beautiful young woman, Diannely, your clothing style and heeled shoes are...WOW!!! All the best for a very very bright future. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

As a cult survivor who also used poetry as my outlet, I couldn't relate more to this. Thank you so much for spreading more awareness that they do not always look like what society pictures. Your story is absolutely beautiful and inspirational. And I'm so happy we found our way out. 🖤
