CHAPTER

Trapped in Tradition: Navigating Faith and Relationships

This chapter explores the conflicts faced by individuals within a restrictive religious community, where strict expectations surrounding relationships and courtship create feelings of fear and complicity. Personal accounts reveal the pressures of arranged marriages, manipulative dynamics with authority figures, and the psychological impact on young members, particularly females. The speakers advocate for spiritual freedom and critique the unhealthy norms and power imbalances imposed by the church, urging a reevaluation of faith-centric practices.
