The Potter’s House church is a cult / From Reddit Read More »
In 1999, my family moved to the Netherlands. In South Africa we had attended a Pentecostal church, the Assemblies of God. In the Netherlands we searched for a new church. It took a year for me to find the Door, part of the Christian Fellowship Ministries (CFM). I was really impressed with the strict rules …
As a woman in the CFM cult we were taught to not only submit to the pastor. But also his wife. The “pastor’s wife”. Personally for me that brought more tormenting pressure of it’s own. As leaders of their own they are required to teach the younger women and teen girls the ropes of submission. …

May 2002, by a former member When I first started attending services at Victory Chapel in Guam, it all seemed so friendly. After I had made my decision to become a member, however, I discovered the truth about how this group really operates. The first thing I was told to do, was to get rid …
February 2002, by a former member of “The Door” I’m probably just one of many you have heard from over all the years in regarding “The Door.” It has been a long road back from my days with them from 1990-92 and their sister Fellowship “Praise Chapel.” I didn’t get saved at The Door, as …
October 2001, by an ex-member of “The Door” My husband and I attended the Door Christian Fellowship for over a year. At first we were very happy, but after about eight months were not so sure that this was the right place for us. It seemed like we had to prove ourselves to the congregation. …
