I think this is the best I have seen written and well thought out! I think this go's to the heart of a lot of our underlying problems with Roloff Homes. I believe this could be a wonderful support group for woman that still have this Issues. There are not harsh rules no criticism towards ones believe. I think it gets to the heart of things! Thumbs Up !!!!

About usHave you ever tried to grapple with this issue? Have you found yourself in your local church, trying to explain the delimma of Roloffs ? And did you find that others turned a deaf ear? That others failed to understand your particular turmoil? That what you said was not getting through? Did you feel that they could not hear you? You are not alone.
Are you like many other Roloff Survivors who believe in God and in his Son Jesus Christ and have him as your Lord and Savoir, yet going to a church is just so hard to handle? Do you drive past a church and tremble with either fear, or terror? Do you go into a church and experience panic attacks? You are not alone, if you are a believer in Jesus Christ and want to be heard and understood about the issues of healing from the spiritual abuses of Roloffs, and seek to learn more about spiritual abuse with other survivors and how to detect it better and learn to feel safe in and among other survivors who are also believers in Jesus and seek mutual healing, please come and see the newest group.
Did you find other well meaning but not understanding christian friends, not able to hear your plight with your faith issues?
Have you ever heard these remarks by maybe wellmeaning but deaf christians?:
1. Just put the past behind you and get on with your life
2. Give it to God!
3. Get your nose in the bible and you wont be depressed!
4. Pray it through
5. Forgetting those things which are behind and pressing on???
If any of those statements have been used to keep you quiet, been used as the christian cliches that they become, if ever you ever encountered these kinds of responses to your anguish in wrestling with trust and faith in God. Then you are not alone. Believe me, you are not alone.
This group of Roloff Survivors In Faith is for supporting those of us who have been through all that and understand. It is meant to bring together those Roloff Survivors (men and women) who acknowledge the severity of abuses in the Roloff Homes, who do not support the Roloff Homes or Shootoff homes in any way, form or fashion, who have kept their faith in Christ, who struggle with issues of faith and spiritual abuses, and who still believe and seek to heal from the spiritual abuses of the Roloff system. For those Roloff Survivors who seek to connect with other survivors in Faith in Christ, and who seek to heal spiritually as christians and find understanding of truth in Gods Word.
To be a support group for survivors of Roloffs Homes, in the faith of Jesus Christ.
This group is to be a safe place to discuss issues of faith and issues of healing spiritually from the severity of spiritual abuses found in the Roloff Homes.
