HELPFUL LINKS CONCERNING SPIRITUAL ABUSE AND CULTIC GROUPS
Links below will connect you
to a wide variety of information.
Under Much Grace does not necessarily
recommend or approve of their statements.
Some may be considered sarcastic, and some are associated with questionable individuals or groups.
Reading from a wide variety of sources is recommended to help stimulate your own, individual thought processes and is an essential part of recovery from cultic or legalistic religious groups. Read as much and as widely as time and opportunity will allow, even if it does not seem to make much difference. Cult-exit counselors maintain that self-education with information of this type is essential to any and all people who have been exposed to any degree of legalistic teaching that distorts doctrine.
In any case, these links appear here for
your further investigation:
