I grew up in Calvary chapel fort launderdale, went to school there pre-k through 12th grade. I have since completely disassociated myself from the church entirely. I know some of the people mentioned in this post. And I just have to say, this whole deep dive is extremely enlightening for me. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Calvary is its own monster that I and many others were left traumatized by. It is a cult. It is toxic. And I hope eventually they get outed in a public manor beyond what’s already been revealed here and elsewhere. I’ve been keeping up with the whole Diddy case and I was shocked (though not surprised) to learn of Lou Taylor’s connection to a network I grew up alongside. I hope Lou Taylor gets thoroughly outed along with Diddy and everyone else. It’s horrifying just how tangled this web of abuse and abuse of power is.
Thank you for sharing your story. Spiritual abuse is such a different animal and I try to give grace to people that have been indoctrinated by cults. I have a mutual on Twitter who also was also affiliated with Calvary Fort Lauderdale. Lauren (https://twitter.com/LChas22) is a strong advocate against church corruption. Perhaps linking up with others with the same goals will provide some closure to what you have experienced. The Roys Report is also a great independent resource doing the good work: https://julieroys.com/ I'm so grateful you took the time to write to me, as exposing power networks is an overwhelming pursuit and I've wanted to quit a million times <3 Melanie
