Default Re: The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, Johnson & VanVonderen

Wow, so crazy. Are these the words of a lowly servant of Jesus? Or an exclusive sectarian cult general? What he’s saying is not even close to being righteous

Notice how the tone and words he uses sounds like he’s brainwashed by Lee’s style of speaking. Like he spent his whole life just reading Witness Lee or something

I was in an all brothers meeting in 2007 in Bellevue where Sherman Robertson was railing against Steve and his son Jarod, who was coming to visit that locality from Pullman. It was the most bizarre meeting I’ve ever been in by far. He was all but cussing these men out and everyone there (besides myself) was harrumphing and amening and it was one of the most fleshly displays I’ve ever experienced in my life and I was basically dumbfounded how these so called Christians could act this way

You almost have to wonder if they actually read the Bible much, or just read life studies all day long. How could they ignore so many basic principles of the Bible behaving this way

Needless to say Bellevue was not a very living church around this time. In fact it was dead as a doorknob and I eventually just stopped meeting with them because they had no real life and enjoyment. No real testimony, just a local sect. I have a lot more stories about the elders in that locality and region but needless to say he was not a very normal or loving elder to my memory. Full of anger and trying to control everything, and the elders in the Puget Sound region are still to this day very manipulative and shady and I’ve got more than a few experiences and stories to back this up
