She said; “I went to a very religious school even though I was not from a religious family. I went to a Deeper Life school. It was a shock but I learned how to live with it. They (some of the teachers)used to beat me. I grew up in a household where we are allowed to speak our truth and ask questions. I can remember they (my teachers in school) will tell me like oh women are not allowed to wear trousers. I will be like, that’s not true. God did not say that. They will be like, ‘what do you know, you this small girl?
"One time, I painted my nail pink, just one nail pink and one teacher saw it. I remember they knelt me down and all the teachers were just like, you can never be anything if you continue like this. I was like 13/14 and you have like all these female teachers around me saying that
"I have a teacher that literally inspired me. He literally said I was going to be signed to Mavin. I was like 14 then and he was like, Mavin is going to sign you, start making videos. And he would just inspire me when I’m singing in school, he would be like, oh sing in the choir. And he was even Muslim but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir".

"He was like", "he was like"....

ReplyDeleteDL and their doctrines and legalism are horrible.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had not been brought up in that church, I would have had a better childhood and been a well-adjusted adult.
My mum flogged me like crazy for painting my nails with that transparent nail polish. My dad asked me to cut my hair when i relaxed it. Very horrible church, with people preaching to uis that women wearing trousers and earrings will go to hell.
Now a an adult, everyday I thank God for escaping from that bondage and cult-like environment.
Also i thank God i finished schl before Deeper life schools was established. Omo e for be suffer x2 haha
