Christianity -- Christian Living/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

Issues related to religious cults and cult recovery. How to recognize a cult; deceptions perpetrated by cults; ways to go about helping family members leave cults; intervention planning and execution. Beware of those who try to point you to a "church" and not Christ. This would include Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Catholic church. If you are a member of one of the above groups, I would caution you that a deceived person does not know they are deceived; they completely believe they have and know "the truth."

Experience in the area

I was in a religious cult for over 20 years, and have now been assisting others recover from cults for nearly 10 years. Area of expertise is in cults that are sabbatarian in nature. I hold a degree in theology. If you think you cannot be deceived and sucked into a cult, think again-- that's what everyone in a cult believes.

2009-08-03 Christian (Baptist) Boyfriend questions our future.:

The issue here is not that you are atheistic in this situation, but rather agnostic in that you do not know for sure, and need to have proper evidence to believe. There is nothing wrong with this; you
