Today I spoke with Abra Miller, who spent many years in the Christ Church cult in Moscow, Idaho, under Doug Wilson, but ultimately escaped.
As we talked through her story, we touched on topics such as:
• The arrogance and pride of the Christ Church leadership and culture, especially with the backdrop of ultra-Calvinism and extreme Patriarchy.
• How women are treated like property and are often expected to vote the way their husband does.
• How women are tested by their husbands in order to check their level of happy submission.
• As a woman, being infantilized and deprived of autonomy on almost all levels.
• How women who are being abused in the Christ Church cult are encouraged to never say "No" to their husbands regarding sex.
• How the Christ Church leadership takes on counseling situations that they are extremely unqualified to address.
• How marital rape is normalized and acceptable in that culture.
• How consent is not really taught in the Christ church culture, and how it adds up to grooming for those who grow up in it.
• How the Christ Church leadership gaslights their own congregation and shares private information publicly without consent.
• How complementarian marriages end up empowering men over women and gives a much stronger voice to men over women.
• How the Christ Church culture leads to sexual assaults, and how victims are urged to quickly forgive instead of holding the perpetrator accountable.
• The extreme lack of boundaries in the Christ Church culture.
• How church members who don't fall in line with the authority of Christ Church leadership end up being either attacked or severely shunned by church leaders and members.
• The importance of thinking critically, and for yourself, instead of being committed only to what your current community teaches.
Many thanks to Abra for sharing her story and helping others escape and heal from the abuse of the Christ Church cult.
