If you think that those who continue to hold an unrepentant and sin-protecting system accountable are the ones in darkness......I'm afraid that only serves to show you that the serious situation I described above has actually directly affected your own life, perceptions, and conscience. Please, unregistered, stick around and continue the discussion. You are being deceived by many, many false and unbiblical doctrines that are packed full of flowery and ear-tickling words that are so well packaged as to make you think you are receiving something pure, when it is really one of the most leavened systems out there. Please come back and participate. If you are right and we are wrong, then you should have nothing to fear by participating.......right?

Hello Trapped,
Are you a former church kid? Just by reading your post, I can hear and see the pain of the “church life” over-pouring through your writing. Talked to quite a few former church kids, they all have the same kind of pain that bleeds through even when they are trying to do their best not to show it. I’m just guessing I say. Maybe wrongly.
There is only one way that those who continue all these abuses will be brought to justice even in our lifetime, and that’s by having more and more victims speaking out. Unless that hidden life of the system will be brought out to light, these men will continue to exploit their prey. Whoever this individual is that wrote this post you referring to, or the other post here, is probably a man with a bunch of skeletons in his closet, who can’t and won’t allow any light in the room. This kind of personal vitriol, is the outright expression of what Jesus said, that “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. This has permeated in this movement going back for decades, even to the beginning. In order to make oneself feel righteous in their eyes, they step all over people and attack those who call out their hypocrisy.
I very much doubt that this individual has the b@^^s to face the music, especially when it comes to responding to your words, and if what you said can be backed up by real facts (which can probably be found written and spoken by real people, here and elsewhere). It’s a one way street when it comes to them, you ether running people over or you are being run over by them.
Wish you well, and may God raise more people to speak out for the broken, and the afflicted.
To the moderator,
I noticed there is registration process to post here. Maybe eventually I will do so, but I just can’t right now. Please have a bit of grace at this time for me, if possible. I’m not interested in daily or even weekly posting, but I might check in once in the while.
Thanks
