And I'll second this and what Trapped wrote. According to what you shared, what they did was NOT of Christ! How do I know? Love was missing and condemnation was present. This is the enemy, not our loving God. (They may have thought they were doing those things out of some misguided sense of "tough love," but they were deceived.)

God is not the God of condemnation and discouragement. No, He is the God of love and God of all encouragement! Seek Him and leave far behind anything else, that speaks to you differently.

Kangas says Lee is comparable to Apostle Paul, but Paul would tell Lee that Lee's ministry was of the letter that kills and was the ministry of death and condemnation. (2 Corinthians 3.6-9)

.... and this is the ultimate purpose of this forum and all the work and time put into it by this wonderful bunch of ex-LCers. To reach out in healing and truth to the suffering and those in deep pain from all that has happened. A safe place to process it all, and warm arms of comfort reaching through the channels of the Internet!

This forum even probably saves lives from despair that could reach desperate levels if there were no hope, no correcting shield of truth to comfort and guide those harmed as yourself and others.

I wish you all the best as you extricate yourself from all this deep entanglement that has penetrated your being. It takes time, but the rewards are there. What men meant for harm, God will turn to good (a Scripture from Genesis 50 verse 19) and you will slowly develop wisdom that will become a shield in turn, for others.

Then all this will become a reward for your heart. There are many more WL's and BB's in the world, in many different guises, you will identify them easily as you heal and understand the dynamics behind them through this bad experience. I don't make promises lightly or often, but I can promise you that.
