If you would like to participate in a book I will be writing on various forms of abuse, you are welcome to. You may use a pen name, or a real name.
This particular form of abuse is Spiritual Abuse. What have you experienced?
This portion in the book is not made to condemn those who have abused, rather to let the church see. We are all human and we make mistakes. However, we need to learn, and not hurt our own sheep and lambs. Isn't this right?
Have you ever experienced Spiritual Abuse?
The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse by David Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderen p.20
“Spiritual abuse is the mistreatment of a person who is in need of help, support or greater spiritual empowerment, with the result of weakening, undermining or decreasing that person’s spiritual empowerment.”
1- Who was abusive? Father, mother, brother, friend, church, pastor, counselor-examples
2- In brief, can you describe a scenario?
3- Did this/these things happen often or repeatedly?
4- Was your walk with God or view of the Lord and Who He is affected? How?
5. Today, do you think the abusive person/people have changed for the better? Do you feel you can rely on or trust in this person/people?
