Anything I pm you, I’ll say publicly. Smacked? How have family members and ex members felt for 2 decades? Slapped in the face. By the very people we were close to. We saw the signs and warned. And what happened? Parents were told to take a back seat, that real meaningful life = GP ministry. Dismissed, yelled at, forced to conform to GP schedule/last minute changes. Helpless bc what can a person say when a child thinks they’re doing “God’s work.” Wondering what happened to their loved one who changed in a way that doesn’t feel right. Left alone to question. Until this sub was created.

GP treats all people as ministry targets. Think about this. What is it called when a church pulls you into a new family with never ending activities? You don’t have time? The only thing members have time for is ministry.

No one thinks you’re brainwashed bc you haven’t come to the sub. I think you’re brainwashed bc of signs. You and other members used exact same phrases and reasoning when legit questions were asked. The overseers respond to situations like a defense lawyer or politician. Not a church. That’s why you can only target kids. Adults won’t take your BS. Thing is, lawyers can handle smacking. They can dish and take it. But GP can’t. GP is one way, from leaders down, and members out. If there’s ever a time to listen and be aware of what’s happening outside GP, it’s now.
