But all cult documentaries have a flavor of what I experienced in gcm
Control is the common denominator
I agree.
I watched a YouTube video some time ago on Youth with a Mission. The girl in the video was describing practices that hit really close to home. Even some of the things I read about domestic violence remind me of my time at GC, not in the
violence aspect of course, but in the control tactics involved.
The red flags of spiritual abuse are surprisingly similar to the red flags of other forms of abuse, since abusers of all types operate from a common sense of entitlement. It's no wonder that high-control churches resemble each other so much.
