Congrats on getting out and still keeping your faith in God. I was in a situation where I went to a church that, looking back, I believe was a cult. Though much less extreme than what you went through. I was a leader in the church, a Deacon, and very close to the pastor and his family.
There was a lot of fear tactics there as well. I tried to resign from leadership once and the pastor told me, he who puts his hand to the plow and turns away is not worthy of the kingdom of God. So if I resigned my leadership I'd go to hell.
I hope you continue to find healing and are able to enjoy life to the fullest!
