I fought spiritual abuse for 18 months. I was married for 31 years to an abuser and then got a divorce. I was voted out of membership (because I let the ex live in my house afterwards). My name was put up on a big screen, followed by the words: "Conduct Unbecoming a Child of God." Called to a meeting of deacons (not allowed to have a woman with me), and asked:"Are you still having sex with your ex?" The ex was never called to task. Something positive came from the debacle.....my poetry website which has over 17,000 hits.
