You people seriously need to move on. If you had a bad experience with something or someone, forgive them and move on. Don’t lump everything into one and just assume everyone is going to have a bad experience. All you are is bitter. The leaders of these churches aren’t perfect and in 5 years I’ve never heard a single one of them ever claim to be. Quit telling other people your assumptions and opinions about them like it’s gospel truth! So you didn’t get along with some of them, big deal, get over it. And you also need to quit slandering the other churches just because you had a bad experience or didn’t agree with something at the one you attended. Every church, I don’t care where it is, what denomination it is, who their leader is, EVERY SINGLE ONE has people that don’t agree with absolutely everything they do, does that make that church a cult? Absolutely not! Anyone and everyone is welcome to leave at any time if they don’t feel comfortable for whatever reason. It’s the same with these churches, you can leave anytime you want to if you don’t like it. You need to learn the definition of a cult. Are any of the members making out any of the church leaders out to be a god? No they’re not! The truth is, these churches and their leaders put God first in EVERYTHING and teach others to do the same. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! That includes church, life, finances, home life, etc. God is a part and is involved in EVERY aspect of your life so what is wrong with getting advice or help on any of these things? Absolutely nothing! Am I saying that none of these leaders have ever made any mistakes in the positions they’re in? No I’m not! They are HUMAN! They make mistakes, they’re not infallible. I encourage anyone who is looking at this site not to believe everything that is said on here because most are gross exaggerations of the truth anyway! Go speak with one of these leaders yourself, go check out the church yourself. If you don’t like it, then go to another one that suits you better, but don’t go bashing and slandering them just because you didn’t like it there. These churches and their leaders are doing great things for students on college campuses across the country! For every 1 person on this site that is slandering all of these churches, there are probably 10 others that are so thankful for what these churches have done and are doing in their lives!
This church has had it’s ASUA privileges and affiliation with UA revoked. I think this is more than a difference in religious opinion and more to do with unethical treatment.
I would say you are a terrible person for saying something so unloving, however, I used to be the same way. It is obvious you are brainwashed. I once was too. I hope one day that you see the truth. That truth is that this group of churches are dangerous and extremely manipulative. My heart breaks for all those who have suffered abuse at the words of the leadership. Good luck to you.
I’m looking to interview any UA students who graduated from Sahuarita High School or anyone from Sahuarita who joined and then left FCC for a newspaper story.
I’m a member of the podcast The Godless Drinking Hour; spiritual abuse is one of our stomp-boxes. We’re doing a small report on the FCC tomorrow, and it would be nice to do a follow-up episode in the near future. We’re local to Tucson, so it’d be easy to interview someone in the local area. If you had any luck finding folks who graduated from Sahuarita and are former FCC members, please pass a good email address for them along via email. From there, we’ll be able to contact them and find out if they are interested. Thanks!
Thank you everyone here for your stories. I left Victory 2014 but only recently realised it was a cult experience for me and I’m now ready to process the PTSD that followed my time there. I’ve reconnected wth former members which has been ver helpful.
