Episode description
Series Title: Diagnosing Spiritual Abuse [Part II of III]
Nathan and Valerie break down 3 more indicators of a system (church or family) that is struggling on some level with spiritual abuse. The scholarship used in this episode comes from non-Latter-Day Saint researchers looking at religious systems in general and pointing out specific features of the churches that tend to perpetuate the most unrighteous dominion.
The 3 points that they cover in this episode are as follows:
- Tendency for the institution to hover over personal decisions in the lives of the membership
- Heavy financial expectations with minimal transparency or accountability about funds received
- A general culture perpetuating the institution holding the "exclusive truth" from and about God.
