The same sermon. Again.

Welcome to De-Commissioned, a place for former members of the Great Commission movement (aka GCM, GCC, GCAC, GCI, the Blitz) to discuss problems they've experienced in the association's practices and theology.

After watching the great Ted talk link that was just posted here, I started listening to some GCM sermons again, errrr, I mean GCC sermons.  Anyway, I just have to tell you my husband thought it was one pastor because of the cadence and tone, but it turned out to be his clone underling!  The imitation is unbelievable!  And of course, they figured out a way to get in the idea that there is an authority structure that we have to place ourselves under!  Sigh.  Don't they get tired of that sermon?  And only two verses.  And a whole lot of words. I know for a fact that people are aching for deeper learning, deeper conversations.  


I guess occasionally I just need to remind myself that it really was brainwashing and group think.  And in looking back at my life and that big 8 year span of GCx, I am so glad that one day I decided to look up information and research it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the video. I feel the same as you do... and having spent 7 years there, myself, I share your thoughts. I do feel as if this mental fog lifted, and then... I find much peace from this forum in knowing I am not alone, and that others went through similar. I can't change the past. It is what it is. I'm a better being from having lived it.
