How I Healed from My Cult Experience & Church Hurt/Trauma

[@KatDPerez]

Healing from my cult experience took some time, but I hope this reflection and advice can help you heal from any church trauma you might have gone through! What other advice would you give someone who has been hurt by the church?

[@davidprobst5921]

I have not been hurt, but what I can say is that we should not let the behavior of other christians, pastor or not, weaken or faith. Focus on Jesus only. We are new creatures and we want to be transformed, but we have a flesh and sin too.

I'm trying to heal from deceiving manipulators family member brought me into a cult. I had to cut them off. And I feel so much better. Pain comes and goes. But I know Jesus is healing me.

As an Ex Jehovah's Witness, i can definitely relate. Im growing in my relationship with Jesus but have been afraid to go to any church. I do see the need for fellowship though. I have been watching one church online and feel they are the one. God bless you💖

My cult experience the 10 Things I went through. 1. Said I wasn't a Christian until I got baptized. 2. Had no volunteering or events going on just church service. 3. People were overly nice. 4. Overly nosy but it's not to really to get to know you but rather with ulterior motives. 5. Would put a lot of pressure on you with a nice tone. 6. When I told them that I was unemployed they kept asking every week if I got a job yet and when I finally told them to stop talking about it they got a bit offensive. 7. Told me that I only need to go to their church only and to leave the other Zoom churches behind. 8. Had a Bible verse about tithing. 9. Made me think I was in the wrong when my concerns were very valid. The Deacon suddenly snapped at me and told me to stop treating their Church like a dating pool. I didn't listen to my dad when he said he didn't like that deacon! 10. When I was originally going to take a break from their Church they basically shunned me by saying we pray for your salvation (all because I stopped going to their Church!) A church does not define your salvation only God does! If you believe then you are still a Christian. I had to sense block every one of those people's numbers because I no longer wanted to be associated with that church. I was afraid to tell them that I was going to a new church so I kept it a secret. I lost my faith with that church but not with God. When I went to this church I realize how much of a cult my other church was. They asked questions but they weren't overly nosy and they had more volunteering events and people my age. Even though I was only there for 2 months I am still struggling with church hurt and me being shocked and that I didn't leave sooner. But I know that God is with me always and I pray for me to forgive them but I see I'm starting to make progress.

So glad I stumbled upon this channel. This is great! May God bless you in all you do Kat. Keep doing what you're doing!

Wow have just finished watching a movie depicting a church in exactly the same way that you described in your video. I thought was exaggeration and hyped up for impact...until I listened to your testimony. However, shocking as that was what I learned was there are many levels of deception.& whilst people may not not have experienced it on the same levels as you did it is still deception and we aught to look out for it. knowing the word for yourself is of utmost importance. Thanks for sharing. keep on sharing and expanding upon your gift!

The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.
