A Path To Freedom From Abusive Churches

The Book That is Setting Victims Free From Abusive Pastors, Churches and Discipleships

Author Mary Alice Chrnalogar reveals how and why leaders of even mainstream churches exert pervasive and unwarranted control over their members. Chrnalogar, a professional deprogrammer and a former victim herself, shows readers how to tell when churches are suppressing freedom of speech, intimidating followers, and distorting the Bible. This book is valuable both as a self-help guide and as a tool for families and friends to free loved ones from destructive groups.

"Leaders of many religious groups, even including several mainstream churches, are twisting the Scriptures to subtly coerce cooperation from their members - all to the distinct advantage of the leaders," according to Mary Alice Chrnalogar. "Using classical mind control techniques, they systematically seduce their followers into almost total obedience."

In Twisted Scriptures , Chrnalogar reveals how even the most strong-willed person can fall victim to these techniques. "People aren't told what the group's rules are when they first join," she says. "They wouldn't get very many recruits if they revealed up front that they'd have to turn their lives over to the group's leaders."

Instead, when people first start attending the meetings of one of these groups, they are showered with attention and affection. "Everybody wants to feel needed and appreciated", Chrnalogar says. Subtly, new members are led to believe that the path to a true Christian life is possible only through this particular group. "They learn from their leaders that most other groups are not as committed", she adds. "Once recruits believe that, the next step is to convince them it's crucial to have a discipler, a lay member of the group with whom the new members are encouraged to check nearly every decision and action in their lives."
