THEY DON'T WANT THIS TO GET OUT!!!

 HOW TO RECOGNIZE TOXIC FELLOWSHIPS:

Apostle James R & Betty R, Sr, Nationally Globally Social Media Ministries:
God's World Renowned Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, and Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, I'm Not in the Work or Ministry For Any Income, But I am in God's Work and Ministry to hear Him say, Well Done, this is the Income We are looking to receive.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in The Liberty by which Christ has made us Free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

The Church, That The Lord Jesus Christ Himself established And Built, Has Nothing, To Do With Buildings!

I have many friends who are involved in toxic fellowships, it’s important to, first of all, pray. Then do a little research first to ascertain what kind of fellowship he or she is part of. You need to be aware of the general way these groups operate and understand the mindset of those trapped in toxic religious fellowships.

Essentially, toxic religious fellowships are fueled by fear, shame, and secrecy. toxic members are taught to set their sights on a future existence on one person in charge or one main leader and forced to give up all hopes of true joy or fulfillment in this life. They often face feelings of emptiness and dread and must resign themselves to boredom, drudgery, and self-discipline. toxic members are often forced to fake a smile and find the energy to put on a “positive face” to prove to outsiders that theirs is the “one true religion.”

It’s also common for spiritually deceived members to feel under constant watch. More senior members of their group check on their behavior, words, and deeds. Any deviations from the group’s acceptable norms are punished in some way. People in toxic religious groups are kept mentally enslaved. If they have friends and family members who are members of the same fellowship, they risk losing them if they ever choose to leave. Many former deceived members are shunned for breaking away from the fellowship.

As they are constantly under the threat of losing their loved ones and social community, being destroyed at the end of the World, or losing their salvation, deceived members often behave on “automatic pilot.” They go through the motions of life, trying desperately to ignore the questions and doubts that sometimes pop into their minds. They have to try to convince themselves that their lives are not based on a lie and that all their hard work and sacrifice have not been a complete waste.

Many active deceived members have given up everything for their fellowship group: a decent education, the prospect of having children or following their dreams, a career, a retirement fund, and a relationship with their non-toxic family members. They have turned their backs on all that to serve their religion and thereby earn salvation. That’s one reason why cult members will generally be very defensive when speaking to a non-member about their beliefs. They will often justify and defend their life choices aggressively.

When speaking to a friend or loved one involved in a toxic religious group, be aware that people do not generally react to the words we say, but the emotion behind them. If we express ourselves in anger, frustration, bitterness, or ridicule, we will risk alienating our friend, causing him or her to turn away or fight back defensively.

That doesn’t mean that we are powerless to help biblically deceived members from breaking free, or that there is nothing we can do. There are tried and tested ways to rescue a brother or sister from a toxic religious fellowship, but it is important to act strategically and sensitively.

The first thing to do, as mentioned, is to be praying for them. Prayer is the most effective and powerful tool we have because only God can cause the scales to fall from their eyes. The God of truth can set them free (John 8:32).

Second, building and maintaining trust with your loved one trapped in a toxic fellowship is important. If he or she doesn’t feel comfortable enough to confide in you, you probably have not yet earned an audience.

Third, rather than overloading your friend with information you’ve gathered about the fellowship, it’s better to ask searching questions that he or she can take away and investigate. If your loved one refuses to respond to you, at least you have planted a small seed of doubt in his or her mind.

Fourth, help deceive members get to know more about other toxic churches, so they can see the connections between them and their religious group. For example, many people are now becoming aware that they are in a toxic group after being led and guided by the Holy Spirit and God's holy word, His Prophets and Apostles exposé fake and false fellowships. When members of just any religion or denomination see how mind control and manipulation are used in other groups, they are faced with the uneasy reality that they are being used in the same way.

It is also essential for your loved one to know that, if he or she leaves the religious toxic fellowships, you will be there in support of that decision. Sadly, many people remain in toxic Churches for far too long because they are afraid that they don’t have anyone on the outside that they can count on. Concerned family and friends need to provide strong and lasting friendships with those who are trapped in a toxic religious church to support them on their long and difficult journey out.

Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Amen.
