Study shows similarities between cult and trafficking survivors.
"While high-control groups and sex trafficking are usually treated as distinct social and legal problems, this comparative framework establishes that their underlying mechanisms of coercive control are functionally equivalent. Identifying these deep structural similarities addresses a historical gap in academic literature, providing a foundation for cross-disciplinary intervention models, updated legal definitions of psychological captivity, and unified trauma treatment strategies for survivors of both settings."

Sometime back, maybe 5 years ago, I came across the phrase #exvangelical . It resonated with me as I was exploring #orthodoxy and some of my deeply held convictions were fraying at the edges. Just a few days ago, on seeing the term in someone's bio, i realize I have fully walked that path now. I am thankful for my time in #protestant land as an #evangelical but I am glad to have joined the ancient church.

Do you remember the book & Windows CD-ROM "The Bible Code" came out or was your family not as wildly evangelical pentecostal as mine?
:blobcatthink: 😅https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Code_(book)
BTW, it was published by Simon & fucking Schuster. Not some niche Christian press.

@theogrin It has been my lived experience over decades.
I wish it was common knowledge, but I'm not sure of much of anything these days.
"The guilty dog barks the loudest" comes to mind, though.

Umm...I actually read the red words.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
Matthew 6:5 NIV -
Both because it is absolutely necessary AND there is already a blueprint for it in the Judeo-Christian worldview. I use to hear about the "Year of Jubilee" growing up in #evangelical church.
This #EXvangelical supports #JubileeOrWar2028

Could someone *please* tell the #theobros that #TotalDepravity is not supposed to be their life *goal*?!

Semler's latest single, the studio version of 'Jesus From Texas' is finally out!
I've been obsessed with this song ever since I heard a snippet of it on TikTok several months back, and I'm so excited that it's finally out!
This song just radiates the feeling of joy that comes from finally accepting yourself and the beauty found in queerness and in healing religious traumas.
If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd highly recommend giving it a listen. ✨❤️🩹

Also today is the last day of #PrideMonth but that doesn't mean we have to stop posting Pride memes or encouraging, supporting, or standing up for our #LGBTQIA peeps.
Also one day I'll post ALL my #JesusMemes, b/c as a former #WorshipPastor and current #Exvangelical, I have a plethora of Jesus Memes.

I can't overemphasize the importance of reading this even if you are not Australian (ESPECIALLY if you are an American or Canadian) because unless you are following closely you simply have no idea where these so-called "Christians" and the useful idiot politicians that kowtow to them really want to take the world (and it is NOT a good place!).

@bluebecThe absolutely awesome Chrys Stevenson has written another terrifying piece about Christian dominionism in Australia (and the US), and joining all the very obvious dots between it and fascism. Essential reading so you know what to keep an eye out for.
