Organizational abuse exists. Even in the church. It is unavoidable. It does not mean the church isn't true and doesn't mean you should leave the church. Ignoring it doesnt help.
I appreciate the reference, but my point regarding the way you approach things still stands and is unchanged.

The way you approach things clearly indicates you're interested in getting your points across via shockvalue and painting yourself as a victim and then you wonder why people react the way to you they do.

Drop the facade and you'll be taken more seriously.
