I heard an interesting perspective said on Today when a woman was interviewed because she had escaped from a polygamist community against all odds.
Raised in a situation that she believed what was the "right way" something inside her knew something was very off.
Her internal radar stayed consistent with her that things weren't right. Scared, she had to choose to flee from everything that she knew to escape into a world she knew nothing about while she believed she was compromising her own eternal salvation and eternal damnation. Still that choice was better than where she was.
She touched on being stuck and said, "People look so long at their situation as a dead end, when it is actually the their threshold to freedom."
I couldn't agree more.
