Our focus is on Christians who have been spiritually abused in a church or ministry, by individuals, or by a belief system. The purpose is to have a safe place to share, to pray, to support one another,to heal,
and to grow beyond the abuse. This is a place to be yourself and to be able to share freely. We are not attacking any person or group.
Some topics do go beyond our scope. Please do NOT discuss graphic incidents, immoral assaults, or ritual abuse, the occult, satanism, or witchcraft.
Please try to NOT TAKE OFFENSE at other people's opinions.
Sometimes strong opinions are stated, which are solely the opinion, belief, or experience of the individual.
Consideration of each person, and each person's beliefs will be upheld. This is a Christian forum for Christians, although non-Christians who are interested in the topic may join, with the clear understanding that Christian principles, ethics and basic beliefs (including belief in the Scriptures) will be upheld here. Diversity in demonination or type of Christianity is welcome. This will not be a place for doctrinal or other arguments...the focus will be on discovering the love of Jesus and what a healthy practice of Christianity can be.
No swearing, immorality or personal attacks.
