Allow truth to shine in the darkness of cover-up. Keep asking pertinent questions.
From the book:
“Shaming
One must never criticize their church. If you do, you are looked at as disloyal, a troublemaker. How could you raise issue with the ones under whose teaching you sit? You must show absolute, unquestioning loyalty. Justin Humphrey adds this to his definition of spiritual abuse: ‘If you go against your church leadership, you go against God and bring aspersions upon His kingdom. How could you fall for the critics? Why would you even consider not supporting the senior minister, elders and deacons? You will damage the ministry of this powerful man or woman of God. If you leave, you will be out from under the protective umbrella of God and away from His grace. If you leave, you are no longer a favored member of the church family.'(https://julieroys.com/podcast/analyst-exposes-deceptive-tacticsused-by-cedarville-president/?fbclid=IwAR3z3E63ikD_8docnX8-z-18U8pkKVTBbrLx56ODGE7TdbhB86tiYf9z2tI)
Have you heard these arguments? Don’t succumb to their falsehood. Don’t allow yourself to be shamed.” (Taylor, Joy S., Clergy Cover-up Does it Work? , Lily of the Valley Publishing Services, 2024, p. 24)
