Re: Guilt and Shame

Thank you Stargazer, It looks like a really good book. Dear congregations of CF. God has given you a brain, is it not insulting to him if you don't use it. Use your critical think skills, be like the Bereans in Acts 17. Read the scriptures test your leaders measure them against the word of God. The ...

Narcissistic Failures.

After I left CF my first phase of recovery was getting information. What was I involved in. A Cult. My first therapist helped me understand cults and narcissism. Most cult leaders would be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder except for the fact Narcissistic people have such grandiose op...

Re: Cutting off families

Great question quest. I firstly will clarify my position in studying the bible. I am a sociologist and therefore do not view the bible literally. I read the bible in the context in which it was written: for example who wrote the book, who the book was intended for and what was the social context at ...

Re: Cutting off families

Dear Guest, I am sorry for your experience. It very dangerous when scripture is taken out of context and weaponised. I had a similar experience from the "Jesus bring a sword passage" Matthew 10:34-36. I don't have much to offer other than the hand of friendship. I created this email if you...

Other cult activity

I came across this article. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-22/two-by-two-sect-survivors-waiting-for-compensation/103868134 The Two by Twos are another Christian cult. After I left CF I searched for stories of cult survivors born into cults. I came across this book. Much of what I read I could r...

Re: Guilt and Shame

Thank you Helen. During my time in Hospital I was faced with a choice. Having been diganosed with PTSD I could continue to face the flash backs and night mares unexpectantly or be led back through (into and out of) my experiences within Christian Fellowship. I was terrified of having to face the mem...

Guilt and Shame

I would like to discuss guilt and shame. There is lots of information out there and I encourage you do look into it for yourself. Here is a brief summary https://beckylennox.com/2022/08/11/a-dive-into-shame-vs-guilt/ Guilt and Shame are often used interchangeably but they are distinctively different...
