A Statement Of Purpose And Scope
We are survivors of emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse from this church.
Some of us were raised as children in this church, others joined as young people or adults.
Regrettably, each of us participated, to one degree or another, in behaviors of coercion, manipulation, shunning and abuse, including the weaponizing of relationships and the destruction of families.
​
Groups like this continue to exist because the vast majority of people who escape from them do not speak out. This allows the abusers to tell the story that makes them look good, and then repeat the pattern of abuse.
​
Our intent is to expose what has happened, and in so doing, take responsibility for what we have done.
​​
Our hope is to prevent others from experiencing the same abuse by bringing to light the things that are hidden.
