Please note that the following experiences are the personal
accounts of each person and reflect the views of the authors. Because an
experience is included here, it is not meant as an endorsement from me, nor
is it necessarily indicative of my views. Many different experiences are
shared on this page to show the extent and aftermath of spiritual abuse and/or
unbiblical teachings. Due to the various stages of healing of those writing,
some experiences may reflect anger or bitterness. Some may even mention sinful actions on their part. This site certainly does not endorse or condone these. Contributors, regardless
of their current beliefs, are encouraged to share what they have experienced
in their former churches. Please try to keep your focus on the issue of spiritual
abuse or unbiblical teachings.
If anyone believes an experience posted directly to this site is not truthful, you are free to submit an article in rebuttal.
Also, allow me to clear up a misconception about the sharings on this page. It has never been claimed by me that all the experiences shared are examples of spiritual abuse. Some are simply the author's sharings of their experience with a particular church, group or individual. They are events seen through the eyes of the individual writers, written from their perspective. It should be obvious that any sharings may not cover every aspect of what happened.
