I wanted to point out another broad result of this intimidation. It sends a loud message to those of us who have left other GCx churches to never speak openly about our negative experience with the movement. People complain that people on this forum are anonymous, and use this fact to discredit our experiences. Can you understand why so many of us are anonymous now? If we are anonymous, perhaps it has less to do with us (liars, delusional, etc.) and more to do with the treatment of others we have repeatedly witnessed. ...
