► Dear Ken,

There are no words to describe how GRATEFUL I am to GOD for giving you the courage and the fortitude to put together this website and share the TRUTHS that have been hidden from the Body of Christ for SO LONG.

My husband and I have been victims of spiritual abuse, financial abuse, leadership abuse, etc. You name it, and it happened to us. Fortunately for us, we are both truly saved and filled with the Spirit of God, and by His grace, He opened up our eyes and led us out of the "apostolic jonestown" we found ourselves in for 13 years. Since that time, God has placed us on a journey of truth.............

The article on the Distorted and Deformed Church is OUTSTANDING AND AMAZING!!! I read every word and intend to read it at least 2 more times. It has finally answered all of questions that we had, but could not quite put our fingers on the answers. This article answers those questions EMPHATICALLY!...............I will continue to pray for you and your ministry. Continue to be bold in God. Be encouraged.

GOD IS IN CONTROL!

Blessings & Prayers,

A.L.

► Dear brethren in Christ,

I came across your website and I must say that it means a lot to me. From church after church, it did not take long to realize that we were not welcome asking any questions...Anyway, thank you again for your site. May more and more brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world come to that truth that will really set them free. Just exchanging bondage's doesn't do the job.

With kind regards from Germany,

C.H.

► I have been reading your site for the last few days. Thank you for putting this resource together. I have witnessed so much of what I see on your site. We must educate people.

Most of us do not know what a true shepherd or elder would be like because we have never met a REAL one that is part of the kingdom.

Lydia

►I like your site and I appreciate what you are trying to do. I wish I found this site 12 years ago.

► Recently in my prayers to the Lord, He opened my eyes to the controlling factors of the ministry I was serving in under a "mind controller". I really needed some insight that was consistent to what I was perceiving in my heart. I googled, "signs of control in the church". Your link was the first.

I have to say, THANK YOU THANK YOU!! The "Mind Control: Six Tell-Tale Signs of Abusive Church Leaders" was more than right on time. I am so grateful for the post. It affirmed a lot of things I was experiencing and witnessing. EVERY DESCRIPTION on the list could be applied to my situation. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! God is real and I feel grateful that I was set free from the bondage of that situation. I feel sad for those still there and praying for them to see. I wish I could express everything I feel. I tried to bring it together because of the gratitude I felt after reading your website. Sincerely, J.J.

►Hi.

I really enjoy your web site. I have often thought of starting my own site but yours pretty much says everything I wished to say. I have linked it on Facebook for others to read and E-mailed a link to people I know and have received some interesting replies (both good and bad). At the very least, people are having to think for themselves and I believe they are hearing from the Spirit of Truth.

I came to a lot of the same conclusions as you on my own. However, while doing it, I thought I was crazy because I knew of nobody else that thought as I did. My family thought I was bonkers. I was even called a false prophet, cult starter, rebel, trouble maker, etc., by family and friends. I had a close friend who is a "pastor" in a local Baptist church who claimed I had a problem with authority, despite evidence throughout all my life that I never had such a problem. The excitement I had from discovering truth did not rub off on anyone else. As a matter of fact, it appeared to me that hardly anyone else really cared if they were doing things wrong or not. They just wanted to enjoy church and keep doing what they were doing. Nevertheless, through all of this, I have discovered what my God is all about. Even though I lost lots of friends and have been mocked by family members, I am at peace. I am still excited about discovering truth. Most of all, I am thankful that I was given another chance by our true Shepherd. I know him as well as I ever have and continue to get closer and closer to him day by day. The freedom from knowing the truth is awesome. The freedom of the Messiah is awesome. The guilt I always felt for not measuring up by church standards is gone. Even though I mess up at times I know I am forgiven and receive grace. And the joy of teaching my wife and children about this is great. Anyway, before I ramble on any longer, I just wanted to encourage you in your bid to proclaim the truth. I will pray for you and will continue to guide others to your site. Thank you very much!

Your brother in the Messiah,

Russ

►Hi Ken,

I cannot thank you enough for running the website http://www.wickedshepherds.com. I cannot find a single article in the website that contradicts the Bible. These so-call Pastors are the real enemies of Christianity and they are the modern day Nicolatians.

You are 100% right in describing the modern day church as the synagogue of Satan. Thank you! Keep up the good work and please do not discontinue what you are doing until Jesus comes.

Victor

► Hi,

I just finished your survey about spiritual abuse and was shocked! You just described my church to the letter! My husband and our three children have been attending for over 20 years. My heart grieves over this, but I know The Lord has led me to your web page. My husband and I know we must leave….

Tina

► Hi Ken,

The Lord graciously led us out of an abusive fellowship. And now after all these years friends of ours are coming out too.

That was a real "meat grinder" we went through. I don't know how long this web site has been up. But you are right on target here.

I tried to have it all exposed through other ministries but to no avail.

George Will

► Hi Ken,

Just came across your site; reading them makes many things come so clear. Going through IT ALL with my extended family and wife. We were members of RBC, left there as I sensed the Lord leading to a small and struggling un-affiliated Reformed Baptist church in town. I did this in good faith and with open conscience. WOW, the backlash is unbelievable. Indeed they have put the Word of God in no respect, and practice: The Pastors can split what God has joined.

►Dear Ken,

Thank you for your web site. Spiritual abuse within churches is rampant, and I've seen many cases like what you’ve described;

of a pastor insinuating himself between a husband and wife and destroying the marriage. God is certainly not pleased with that at all.

May the Lord continue to help us all in exposing the wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Samantha

►Ken,

THANK YOU....THANK YOU so much for this site. I wish I had known about it when I was still in my abusive church. I am a regular contributor on a Spiritual Abuse Forum and discuss the very things you write about on your site. Thank you so much for all the info. I sure wish I had all that AMMO to use when I was confronted by the two jerk ministers that confronted me. One of them was responsible for my divorce.

Reg

►Hello,

I read with interest the items on your website. I am particularly interested that you are familiar with the Reformed Baptists. We (my husband and children and I) left a Reformed Baptist church a year ago, after 5 years. Prior to that we had been at a different Reformed church for 18 years. I had never really understood or experienced spiritual abuse til the Reformed Baptist Church. Now whenever I read people's stories of abuse in the church, I understand exactly what they're talking about.

Thanks again for your site and for mentioning names. This is helpful and hopeful to people like me. Someday I hope to be able to tell my story. I have tried to put it into words but they fail me. Probably in the future, after more healing, the words will come.

Thanks for your help,

Diane

►Ken,

Someone gave us the link to your site. Thank you for your courage and clear stand for those who have been abused. It has actually given us the courage to keep going. People need to be warned, and there are hundreds of witnesses to the abhorrent breaking down of marriages by the elders of the church.

So, thank you for your fabulous website. It is big and bold and tells it like it is!!!!

Meg

►Hi Ken,

I'm shocked at the type of abuse you describe. Do those churches you describe believe in the Bible? Such counsel to break up marriages is incredible in light of Scripture. Unbelievable. There's so many messed up, spiritually abusive situations out there. It saddens me to realize that my denomination isn't the only dark spot. Yet Christ has promised to build His church, so that the gates of hell can't prevail against it. Even in the face of abuse, it's good to remember this promise.

Kris

►Dear Ken,

I just wanted to send you a quick email and thank you for your article "A Word to the Wives"!!

I was raised in a church where this was taught to me from birth. I left that church about a year and a half ago, and have not been able to attend another church because whenever I try to attend a church all the principles like this one, and many others that were forced into my head my entire life, continually come back up in my mind.

Sadly, the events you describe in the article are the exact same things that are happening in my family now........

Thanks again, and keep putting out information like this! It's a great encouragement to those of us who have come out of such environments.

►Hello,

I came across your website today. Thank you for the inspiration!.... After reading most of the information on your website I am so much more convicted of the rightness of my beliefs…. May you continue faithfully dispensing the word of God aright.

Be blessed, in His name,

Marie

►Greetings,

I appreciate your articles posted. The latest reading “The Christian Church:Distorted and Deformed” – excellent!

Thank you again for your labors of love to the Body of Christ. Your writers are very good!

Sincerely in His Love and Service,

Linda

►What a terrific expose' of institutional Christianity. I am printing copies and giving them out. So timely a message. Thank you!

Ivan

►Hello Ken,

I am thankful for your site! I truly believe that the Lord used your site to help me break free from the grasp that XXXXXXX was beginning to have on me… I sent a prayer up to our most gracious Lord; I prayed, Lord, help me to know what is right here. Something just isn't right. If there's something you need me to know, please guide me to it. I thought to do a search for the name of the church and even for its' charismatic leader. Within seconds, I was at your website. My jaw hit the floor with what I read! Finally, I had found validation. I knew the Lord had answered my prayer! Thanks!

►Dear Brother Ken,

We were led, by the Lord (we believe), to your web site several weeks ago and have been grazing there ever since. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. We first read your book “The Christian Church: Distorted and Deformed” which we whole heartedly concur with. May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these perilous times in which we find ourselves living.

In His Love, J & A

►Thank you for this website. It has confirmed what we saw in our former church and helped us to see that what was unbelieveable is actually happening. Your articles have helped us to realize we're not making this up as no one could possibly imagine this could happen in a body of believers. Thanks for all your providing.

►Hi Ken,

Thanks for the very informative website. Great stuff! I came out of an authoritarian church whose leadership twisted the Word of God. Been free for ten years now and it's wonderful! I believe much the same about the "organized church" as you represent in your website and have talked with many over the years about the very things you discuss in your articles...We are in agreement in a great many areas, without having even met each other or spoken face-to-face. We have done the same scriptural studies and come to much the same conclusions.... I'll be spending more time at your website, and will feel free to point other seeking Christians to its articles.

Thanks again, my friend.

► Thanks Ken for creating a website about the truth. The Spirit of Truth led me to your website during a time of seeking God on some things He already had shown me. I pray that many will come across your site. I'm very passionate about finding out the truth about things, and your website has changed my life. God bless you all!!! MH

►What a joke! Does anyone take you seriously? Your hyperbole and unsupportable statements only confirm the Proverb:

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,

but only in expressing his opinion.

Nathan

Dear Nathan,

Thanks for your e-mail and for your concern.

You glanced over and read a few snippets that angered you, and not because they were "a joke" or "hyperbole" or "unsupportable" but because you could not contradict what was said with the Scriptures.

It is clear to even a fool that there is quoted a plethora of Scriptures, as well as real-life concrete examples, on every page of this website. Scriptures back up what we speak.

Do yourself a favor Nathan., and read the material on the site with an open mind and an open Bible, and see who it is that is making "a joke."

I know for a fact that to some poor blinded and bound Christians, this site seems "like a joke" and is not "to be taken seriously." But this should not be surprising seeing that:

"...But the natural man (that's you Nathan) receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness (a joke; hyperbole) unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." ( 1 Cor. 2:14)

May the Lord lead you to His Truth,

Ken
