What is spiritual abuse? Someone in power and in a leadership position tries to control, manipulate or dominate someone or a group. Often in the way of fear by saying don't go up against God's anointed. But doesn't 2nd Cor. 1:20-22 teach us that we are all his anointed? All of us sealed with the Holy ghost.
Why then the twisting of the teachings? For Power? glory? riches? Don't touch God"s anointed! Or a curse will fall on you. Sadly that has been the teaching of the Apostolic Assembly since its birth. One of the main reasons we are where we are today.
"If we turn our heads and allow abuse to continue, pretend it never happened, or excuse it because it occurs outside of our group. We may later find ourselves the victim of such abuse. How many must be hurt before it is addressed and seen for what it is."
by Lois E. Gibson
We the members of the Assembly have been taught not to go against this so called Anointed Men of God, and to only let God handle the problem if the leadership has done wrong. Look where Sanchez and company have gotten us with that way of thinking.
Some say that the church has done a lot of good, but does that excuse the bad that has been done by the HGB?
Times abuse is caused by weak spiritual Pastors that shouldn't be Pastoring, or in real life are scared frighten men who push their weigh around to make them feel like the man they are not. When really they are spine less individuals.
The women of our assembly have been on the receiving end of our fearless leaders abuse. Most times it turns out that these men are perverts, and go on doing business under the HGB knowledge.
Things can't go on the way they have been going.
The abuse must stop.

Oh what fearless leaders we have.
I was hoping for the HGB to give us a gift by resigning. Hope we can start off the new year by having news that Sanchez and company are on their way out.
What a bunch of dirt bags.
On spiritual abuse,it is rampant throughout the church weak insecure men who lead by manipulation and fear tactics. A pastor in central Ca. who has hurt many people but yet he remains hurting people intimidating and offending. recently I was told that he is still doing his thing,the assembly has known for years about this, anything happened? not yet...
I must say that in my personal experience....I've been pastored by the most wonderful people who put up with all of my maverick rantings.....of course I'm from TX. Ever since I moved out here to CA...everybody thinks there a reverend...it's like all of a sudden I'm catholic and the word of the pastor is on par with the Bible.
