Can You Reach My Friend?

Teen, if you’ve found this, you are not crazy. You’ve been betrayed in the worst way by your church leaders and your parents who didn’t protect you from them. What you’re feeling is real. It’s wrong. And you deserve to be an individual with your own thoughts. God bless you for having the strength to investigate yourself. It’s very brave.

Here I will put some links to the damage that is done to children born and raised in cults.

You can call CPS on yourself for protection. Adults here can’t help you much since you’re underage. That sucks bad.

This is a hard share. Unresolved trauma of ones past can make one suseptable to falling into cults. Or moving and being away from family support like home sick military members. Recent losses, job changes and life crisis. One has to look back at why they may have felt comfortable at NTCC or HOPCC.

I understand why those left still have such a strong hold because of unresolved trauma, be it from their past or whats been done to them in these churches by leadership.

The cult in essence becomes an addiction as a way to cope with life and requires so much self-abdonment, it can literally make one sick.

God wants our authentic self. Being a child of God offers a true place of healing. But if you‘re feeling anxiety, defensiveness and blame over a loss of a Pastor thats facing legit consequences, that IS literal physical withdrawals from…

I’ve posted a lot and especially today… I can feel it deep in my soul that one person needed these today… I hope when you’ve escaped and regroup, I meet you and hug you!! I listened 3 times! Powerpacked Biblical and psychological explanation here. It’s deep and simple at the same time. Enjoy!

We unconsciously model these people if they have great access to us. Can you relate? To yourself? Those around you? Your leaders? Please… open your heart and soften. Don’t go down this path any further. There is such healthier communities to worship in. The Lord is your ultimate Shepherd, may He alone lead you.

Amen. 🙏

TWO BOATS AND A HELICOPTER

A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe.

"Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast."

"No," says the preacher. "I have faith in the Lord. He will save me."

Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in supplication, when another guy zips up in a motorboat.

"Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee's gonna break any minute."
