Enroth ran down a list of characteristics of spiritual abuse: - TopicsExpress



          

Enroth ran down a list of characteristics of spiritual abuse: “disrupted families,” “surveillance,” “spiritual elitism,” ostracism of those who leave. I found myself nodding in recognition. It sounded like what I’d witnessed in the Fellowship. Later, I’d read in Enroth’s work about other aspects that were just as instantly recognizable: —an emphasis on amorphous “attitudinal sins,” especially “rebelliousness”; —suppression of dissent; —no institutional checks and balances; —an aversion to publicity; —a perception of persecution, the notion that outsiders can never understand; —a recruitment strategy that, in the beginning at least, denies that there’s anything to which to belong.
