How to Biblically Disengage From and Leave a TOXIC CHURCH or LEADER: Listen Up RCG and PCG

NOTE: While I have moved on personally from any religious affiliations or beliefs, I know the sincerity and dedication of many if not most of the COG membership in all the splits and splinters. I know the abuse issues that come up from time to time either for an individual or the group as a whole. I know how easy it is to think that YOU are in the wrong and "the Church" , "the Ministry" or "the Leader" can't be wrong. But they certainly can be. I don't believe I have to list the specific Apostles and Prophets, falsely so called, who fit into this category of men who are terribly wrong and often. 

My wish is that this perspective might help those struggling with the obvious toxicity of, in particular, The Philidelphia Church of God, under Gerald Flurry and the worst of all, The Restored Church of God, under David C Pack. 

Many outside those two cults wonder how those in it can't see what is happening to them. But it takes stepping back from something for a time to think and reconsider from a fresh perspective. 

My wish for all concerned is that you can step back for a time. Stay home from Church a few weeks. Regroup and consider the track record of those who are supposed to be "helpers of your joy", and aren't really. 

If you believe you can sort through all this while stuck in the midst of it all week after week, consider this.

Pour molasses in one hand and take a handful of feathers in the other. Now mix them together with your hands and try to pick out the feathers...  :)   It can't be done. You can't figure it out when stuck in it week after week.  Step back and wash your hands. 

====================================================

"Are you part of a church, workplace, or ministry that has become toxic, abusive, or cult-like? Maybe you have experienced spiritual and emotional abuse or church hurt in the toxic church culture, or cult.
You had thoughts to leave, and you believe God is leading you to make the exit, but you are not sure how to go about it without getting scathed or traumatized in the process.
Perhaps your pastor, friends, colleagues, or church members have gaslighted you, manipulated you, and talked you into staying. Now you are afraid to leave, for fear of being punished, ostracized, villainized, and cut off from the people you love the most. I get it. I've been there. In this video, I’m going to be sharing with you 7 steps I learned on how to make your exit from a toxic church or cult as painless as possible."
