Hello! I’m Luca, a former WMSCOG member, and this website is the home for never again, my story about spending a decade in the World Mission Society Church of God with untreated mental illness.
Each chapter contains a written narrative and an audio file that you can also listen to if you prefer. Click here for a full listing of chapters. You can also listen through the entire story in chronological order using this site’s audio player or on Spotify.
This story is incomplete and continuously updating. If you want to be in the loop, follow me on Instagram to read the stories as soon as they post.
Don’t know where to start? How about at the beginning:
chapter one: the hook
Never again will I let my freedom be stolen from me.
Never again will I betray my values.
Never again will I lose my sense of self.
