I just have to blow off some steam!! Many of you already know my story and quite frankly I tired of telling it. Breifly, for those of you who don't know yet, I was in The Way 1 for 20 years and a splinter Geer group for 12. The splinter was worse, I lost 2 of my 4 kids, a husband and I got beat up by him 10 days ago because I started a investigation. He stiil want's to play follow the leader!! I got out finally. I felt like a stepford wife, he was way corp's, sounds morbid, ha! I was not, thank God! As long as I obeyed leadership, stayed positive, never showed any emotions because that must mean I am not believing God!! Make sure you pay God for His protection, and never miss a meeting. We were once questioned on that. Don't invite people over without leadership approval. Make sure you give them full control of your children, after all isn't it children obey leadership, not God?!!!! The biggest most important thing is make sure you meet all of his sexual needs, the heck with your emotional ones and God forbid you should need his support and protection!! Too bad my husband married a woman who can speak her mind, they call that rebellious and witchcraft. Too bad he married someone who is a virtous woman, who takes care of her body and looks better than she did as a teenager!! They call that egotistical. They were probally jeolous. When I think of it it was a requirement to be a good wife in this ministry. Women were treated horribly. well folks I'm not ever setteling again..... Have you ever felt that way?

Thanks everyone!! It is so nice to know that there are still loving, caring, compassionate believer's. I have been around the most cruel, judgemental. people who have no empathy. They are very much like robot's, trained only to say what their leader's say. Have you ever watched the movie, the stepford wives? That's kinda what I felt like. As long as I was smiling, obeying leadership and meeting my husband needs, I was treated just halfway decent!!!

I can't really talk to my husband because he beat me up a week ago!!! I filed a injunction against him. I do see what you are saying, I will try to forgive all of them so I can have freedom in my own mind.

It was a Geerite group in Tampa Fl. run by Pat P.

Thanks for that!! I did loose myself. It was always about pleasing the ministry, my husband and giving up my dreams to stay home 25 years to raise them. They obviously don't appreciate it now. I don't regret being a stay at home mom I just realize that it is important to take care of yourself!! MY husband wanted to work the word constanly, no family time. I enjoy life and I'm a people person. we were quite opposite I suppose, I do know he was way corps, I was not. That may be why I could wake up easier?!!! I don't like religion!

I am relatively new at this, I was involved in the Way International 1 for 22 years, Then I got involved in a splinter group for 12 years, which was even worse!! I lost half of my family, including a husband. My mind is what I am trying to sift through all the crap!! For instance, I knew abs was handled wrong. Leaders got rich and believer's were made to feel guilty if they had a need. Second, Believing was way off base! Believers were basically taught they don't need God, you have the power to control the outcome. They say if you are not positive all the time then there is something wrong with you. God gave me these emotions for a reason. I am learning to set boundaries in my life!!! Third, The man of God issue!!! Following men was simple idolotry. It was so subtle. How could I play follow the leader for so long? Thank God I woke up. I only wish it were sooner then mabe I could have saved my family. I would love to hear some tips from those of you with experience at this, What are some things that helped you? How do you erase the years of spiritual abuse? I am pretty low on self esteem right now.

Pete, Thanks so much for that. I was recently beaten by by husband, who folows Geer. I was telling him of everything I learned of Geer here. He left me because I started a investigation on Pat P. his liscensees. I am sure that my husband is back with Pat and in contact with Geer. I am taking on a huge battle and I was beaten up pretty bad. Please pray for me because I am going to expose these corrupt men with God's help. Got any advice???

Thanks for sharing that. Right now it looks pretty impossible now that my husband has turned on me because she was very close to him growing up, hoiwever even when he left before she did not talk to him much. I have to have hope. I always pray for that day to come. I often think of all the time we lost and things we could have done, like shopping,ect. They talked her out of a full scholarship. I pray for that miracle to happen to me as well.

Thanks for understanding.

Concerning my 11 yr old, I have sheilded him from these way corps monsters, After pat P. abused him I had to stop my husband from forcing him to go spend the night!!! I have been sheilding him from day one without my husbands help. I had to pick him up from school early, fearing my husband would try to get him. He saw the bruises and went with me to the courthouse and the woman there instruscted him on how to take pictures. He does not trust his father and you should not make thease statements without knowing all the facts. He has lived with this nightmare for 5 years, I saved 2 of my kids so please think before you say things you have not lived. If his father had sheilded me and his kids we would not be in this situation. Think about that!!!!

Here's a update, my husband beat me up today. He admitted he was involved with pat P. and Punched me in the face 4 times and I have bruises all over my arms. That's how much he is into Chris Geer! Please pray for me!

Thanks everyone for all your support. It means alot to me right now. I am in for a huge fight and God is with me. Thanks John for your support. I wish my husband could have opened his eyes and mabe I would still have my children. This is so wrong and we need to bann togeather to fight for what is right!! God forbid another mother should feel this kind of pain. The community needs to know about his splinter group in Tampa Fl., Pat P. runs it.

I wrote my story yesterday called A Mothers Pain. I am a vitim of spiritual abuse. I know I am not alone,so I am calling on others to share their stories and bann togeather to support and stop this. I was in a splinter group and they did youth camps, they took total control of my kids and others. They are mean and work them to death! I have 4 kids, I got 2 out and 2 are brainwashed against me. I have not seen them in over 3 years. I have started a investigation because one of my kids was abused and I have contacted the media. We need to stop this destruction and poisoning of the christian families, God's word says to honor Mother and Father not leaders. They say to the youth that the older believers have lost the word!! I think the word talks about wisdom as we get older!! Why do they think they are exempt?? What do you think about this new movement with the youth? They prey on the young because they want worship and power, after all us older grads ask way too many questions. Our leader said he does not like teaching to older grads he would rather teach the youth!! I thought you were to feed the whole flock!!

Thanks for the support, My husband left when I started the investigation because he is a Geerite! I wrote Chris back after he said he cant be responsible and reproved him on the subject. He wrote me a very nasty letter basically trying to blame me for my kids being abused and brainwashed!!! I quess he did not like that. He wants them to stay with Pat, after all more followers and more money!!!

You can add Pat Powell in Tampa, Fl as a splinter group following Chris Geer. He is really into control and abuse. He actually threw me out for questioning him! Ha! He sexually abused my 5 year old son and is currently under investigation, Two of my older kids are still in brainwashed against me I have not seen them in over 3 years. I wrote Chris Geer about his abuse and for help in the situation, and he said he can't be responsible for the moral character of his liscensees!!!! Can you imagine the apostle Paul saying that?? God's word is not a business, however there are many profiting. It is spiritual abuse, and I guess I have bigger resposibility to expose these men because of my children. Well I'm, up for the challenge. Once you shine a light on darkness, the truth can shine. These men never help people or the community. Chris Geer has a p. o. box and the checks keep pouring in. He keeps promising the advanced class. How long has it been? 15 years? He gets 25 percent of abs. Why are people so blind? HE is not earning that money and he is a mean s.o.b. !!!!!

I got involved with a splinter group that turned out to be very dangerous and split my family apart. I have 4 kids and 2 are of age and when we left because of the control issues they sent people to my son's work at 17 and said your parents are evil. We havent seen them in 3 years, You have to be very careful of what you get into, Right now church has been alot more healing, at least the pastors don't try to brainwash your kids!!!! Stay away from Pat Powell, The Word centered fellowship. Jerry Carr is also associated with him, Harbour Lights in New Jersey. They run classes for Geer. They expect loyalty and I bow to no man!! I was kicked out because I questioned both of them. My husband is a geerite so he went along. Why do people follow men? I'm out with 2 of my Kids and my husband left because I 'm finished with this Idol worship from afar.
