Hello,
I have been on another forum because i was in a spiritually abusive church. I had a nervous and physical breakdown and was comitted to a mental health facility because i was attempting suicide. God stayed my hand on that and i am thankful for that! That was in Oct of 2004 and yes God has been healing me and my family. It has been a lesson that He has taught me to be discerning. When I Read The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, i thought they were talking about the church we attended. Classic case and what grieves me is that there are people still there. A friend of mine let me read the book and it has been a blessing and also healing for me. I was and i still attend biblical counseling at the new church i attend. The church i attend is allowing me to rest and does not place bondage on you. Our pastor is truly a shepherd who is transparent with accountibility. if you say no you can't do a certain thing, it's alright. No pressure on me. I was in leadership at the last church and i started seeing things that were not write. It was then that i was introduced to recovery from spiritual abuse. It has been a life line for me these past three and a half years! Thank you so much.
