Wow, THANK YOU for posting this, brother! PapaDuke and I lived this during our past membership in a cult like church.

Re: The Signs of Spiritual Abuse
Look at this segment from one of the articles on this site...
The question before the Church today is: will we allow ourselves to be taken into the error and resulting apostasy that was the fate of the Pergamum Church by continuing on this path of displacement of apostolic authority by a Scripturally-invalid system of government and authority, i.e., bishops and the rest that comes after that, or shall we cease and desist from that trend and opt instead to return to the apostolic-prophetic foundation so that indeed “the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former?” The Worldwide Universal Church will not cease and desist from that path, but will follow it to the end to in the name of ecumenicism, align all the “religions” of the world under the Roman Papal System. Sadly, the Spirit tells me that huge blocks of even the Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal Church will ultimately depart from the true Church that Jesus is building and ally with the apostate Antichrist universal church, taking multitudes of their adherents with them, in fulfillment of the Spirit’s prediction set forth in First Timothy 4:1,2.
As sad and distressing as that is, the most important question of all to you, the reader, and to every believer is: Which church will you be a part of—the one whose ultimate architect is the arch-enemy of God which will be led by the false prophet in alliance with the AntiChrist, or the End-time Remnant Church that Jesus is building and whose Architect is God?
Notice that the author recognizes the current ecumenical movement to bring all of the churches under one head, the Pope, within the Roman Papal system. This further supports my view that the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican is the whore of Babylon.

Re: The Signs of Spiritual Abuse
Oh wow! I know a gal that thinks along the same line as the RCC being the Whore of Babylon. At that time, I did not think much about it. Haven't given it much thought. She said (IF I remember correctly) that Rome is built on seven hills.
When the author said "to bring all the churches under one head", is that pertaining only to churches or does that include religions? I apologize for my ignorance about this.

You're not ignorant, sis! I think it pertains to all the religions being united into one according to my understanding, hence the one world religion under the beast.

Re: The Signs of Spiritual Abuse
Great article, Tom.
Just when I thought I couldn't get burned again...
God is the great comforter, thank Him!

Re: The Signs of Spiritual Abuse
Yeah Tom you nailed it when you found this site. I agree with Lara and Roy. This is a needed.
I could barely read it, too painful. In my lack of wisdom, to say the least lol, I went to ANOTHER abusive church 10 years after leaving one. The new one, a charismatic church mirrors this article but it was more subtle. Not so much now I'm sure. At least I had one eye open and discarded the bones...there was too much bones to spit out and not enough meat.
I left with a burned out bridge in my rear view mirror.
