I have to say that I am encouraged that people inside this group are starting to respond to these post. We hear your hearts beating. Today is Sunday! The first day of the week. You may be waking up this morning looking for a good loving church to take your family to. A church that worships God and preaches the Bible. You may live in the Bridgeville area in PA. You may say to your husband or Wife or kids. LOOK! here's a church, lets go visit there today! So like so many have done, you go and visit. You will walk in and the first thing you will notice is how nice and clean it is. The people will be dressed very well. So if you are dressed casual nice you'll be OK. If less than casual nice you may feel a bit uncomfortable. While the service proceeds people will be watching you and will probably send you a smile or two just so you feel welcome. After the service people will walk up to you and welcome you. Maybe make small talk and invite you to come back next week or even ask you to go out to lunch with them. Kinda like a first date. \r

That is what happened to me years ago. I stayed 12 years. What started out nice ended like a nasty divorce. It has been the personal experience of many people over 30 plus years that you don't join this church then leave without major implications in your life. Read the many reviews here and you will see that many people have suffered severe trauma. PTSD. The leadership of this church are responsible for the abuse that goes on daily in this church. BEWARE!!!\r

To the leadership. Your hearts are hard and filled with hate, malice and pride. God will hold you accountable for damaging his sheep. You will answer to God for what you have done. You have caused so many of his little ones to stumble. Some have even lost their faith in God because of the way you spiritually raped them. When you spoke we thought God was speaking to us, and when you condemned us we felt that God was condemning us. We learned later after we left and found healthy churches and councilors that God did not condemn us and that He loves us very much. \r

Finally to the leadership of this church. Humble yourselves. Repent and turn away from the evil you are doing. Reach out to the people you have hurt. Make restitution to the many who sacrificed time, money and talent over the years. Good and loving christian people who only wanted to serve God and thought what you were teaching was from God. Our hearts were broken when we realized that your church was a fraud.\r
\r
The ball is in your court. I will keep praying.\r
