Ive been reading this and this carol lady is clearly mentally ill. She is a cult leader and anyone under her ministry needs to flee STAT! I ws in a similar cult, so i know. Jesus wants us to be free and live abundantly in that freedom. This woman has ppl in bondage. I hope whosever stuck in this situation leaves. Its sick that ppl control others using jesus.

These postings trouble me! Nobody needs to be in church 7 days a week! Is it a cult? I DOnt know, CC in san diego actually helped me escape my cult! Along with the 700 club. The key thing here is a relationship with Jesus can be done alone on a desert island! YOU DONt necessarily need church. I feel sorry for you that your boyfriend is hooked into this. it doesnt sound healthy!!!
Forum: Destructive Churches

Im very sorry to hear that you were taught wrong things about God. Seems they left out the power of the cross, grace, mercy, love etc. A good christian church give you a balanced view of God...these people harmed you. My best suggestion for you is to join me and my friends at this online support group. I was also taught simialr things in a charasmatic christian cult. Thank God im gone.

QuotemeadeSmall, but very destructive "groups". Many lives damaged, some ruined. Be very careful of this one. Above all, stay away from the school-it is harmful to children. They are "clever"-there is nothing illegal (that can be proved) and they leave no internet trail. Quiet, controlling, twisted, portraying themselves as loving Christians. They are following a person who

Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

QuoteDinaM2I was a member of a "Pentecostal Church" that I found out is a cult. I left in one year. I was very down and out at the time. I was jobless, and new to the area. Through their "love balming" they convinced me to go away with them on a missions trip to St. Kitts. Once I got there I found that it was not a missions trip it was a will breaking ritual. I was threatened

David, im trying to get that deep within me, that Christ loves me, but I was just diagnosed with cancer too. Im not saying that He did it, or anything. Its just that when I left the group in august of last year they said God would chastise me. They had powers there. The guy spoke in tongues and I felt the Holy spirit come from His hands as he layed them on me---but ive talked to 70+ Christians th
Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

QuoteDavid_In_The_LightI like everyone here left a cult that masqueraded as a church. That was 6 years ago. My family and I went through hell after we left, overnight we were treated as if we didn't exist. looking back we got support from a really good friend who was a pastor at another church. It kept us on track. sometimes i think we didn't give oursleves enough time to 'grieve&#

Janet, usually anyone working out of a strip mall is suspect LOL... But seriously, Spiritual abuse, cults and spiritual elitism are often found in charasmatic/pentelcostal/assembly of God type churches. These are the snake-handler types! I suggest you google ex-charasmatic and get informed about people that ahve left that movement. I KNOW that in yahoo groups, there is an ex-charasmatics fo
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

well Jane, I exited a charasmatic cult in august. If i had to suggest a place of worship for someone, I wouldnt recommend pentacostal/charasmatic. God is a healer, but they have too much emphasis on that. They also are heavy into tounges and prophecy and demons. If you find unbalanced preachers, they may over emphasize demonic activity too. If I was you, id be concerned. As far as how you can

QuotefireflyAbigail1977- i totally felt the same way as you wen i left the cult. Sorta like i had to discover what the truth really was, no distortions. It was hard but by the skin of my teeth i hung onto my faith and now am much stronger in it. I suppose a helpful thing i learned from bein in a cult is to test everythin an not jus believe what people say to you just because they come at you in

i left a charsmatic christian cult in august. im still a firm believer, however, i feel as tho im starting from scratch as they distorted Gods character for me. all fire and brimestone, punishment etc. the church i attend now is far more healthy---of course my cult would disagree as they were the one TRUE church. lol....spiritual eltism at its finest. i find it almost impossible to read the b

Well, Rick has rules about preaching here, so i wont get on a pulpit, but i can say that without the Biblical God Id be drunk as a skunk right now! LOL...

interesting! i almost went to a female TC in CA! Instead i ended up in a worse cult! I heard they have an excellent success rate for recovery. I heard 85%? N.A And A.A claim a 25% success rate. I was also told that 7 demons wore than the first. Scare tactics, more than reality i surmise. Ill check your link.
