Remember David, you put all that anger to good use. You used your anger to spread sunshine on all the pain and suffering those people were feeling. You use your anger to expose the dreadful things they were doing, the harm they were causing.

You enable people to get out from underneath the control of that church .

By expressing your anger and keeping alive the memory of what happened and the story you brought out helps to prevent other people being sucked in to organisations that harm people.

Harnessing anger can do a lot of good . We appreciate you, David.

It’s the argument used by oppressors when we fight against racism and sexism too - ‘we won’t listen because you are too angry and you are not telling us nicely, so go away and do all this work to become superhuman at emotional control then come back and we might listen to your point (that we are sexist/racist/otherwise oppressing people). It makes me so angry I can’t contain myself.
