Former WMSCOG Member Exposes Cult Tactics & Spiritual Abuse

What happens when a church leader starts asking questions — and doesn’t get answers? Erick is a former Deacon, group leader, and 13-year member of the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG). In Part 2 of his story, he shares the difficult aftermath of leaving a high-control religious group and the emotional, spiritual, and psychological impact of walking away. This interview dives deep into cult tactics used to maintain control, the fear-based teachings that kept leaders compliant, and the unanswered questions that ultimately pushed Erick to step away. He also discusses a disturbing video shown to church leaders depicting graphic images of hell that were used as a fear and submission tactic — a powerful example of spiritual abuse and religious manipulation. Erick speaks candidly about the pressure leaders face, the isolation that comes with questioning authority, and what it’s like to begin cult recovery after years inside a controlling religious system. His experience sheds light on the hidden dynamics of high-demand groups, religious trauma, and the long road to healing after spiritual abuse. If you are trying to recognize cult behavior, understand how cults use fear and control, or are navigating your own recovery after leaving a high-control religion, this conversation offers clarity and validation. *Join Membership*    / @findingthealternative95   Watch Erick’s Story – Part 1:    • I Was In a Korean Cult For Over A DECADE |...   Erick Interviews Members He Recruited:    • We Didn't Know It Was A CULT | How High Co...   Recommended Resources on High-Control Groups & Religious Movements • “A Trip To Hell” (Video Erick discusses being shown to leaders)    • Hell pictures_ A Trip To Hell (Full versio...   • Examination of WMSCOG doctrines https://www.examiningthewmscog.com/ah... • The Midnight Cry (Documentary on William Miller’s movement)    • The Midnight Cry | Full Movie | Ruth Alden...   • Called to be Free (Documentary on the Worldwide Church of God)    • "called to be free" Documentary on Worldwi...   Disclaimer This content shares personal experiences and opinions for educational and commentary purposes.
