Bill Gottard FINALLY asked to take administrative leave- UBM take note

Recovering Grace, a blog for survivors and victims of IBLP and ATI reports that Bill Gothard, has been asked to take an administrative leave after years of broken, lives and abuse.

This follows the resignation of Doug Philips at Vision Forum, a highly influential player in the  "biblical womanhood" movement.

To those of us impacted or connected to these groups, it is a profound shock to discover the dark under belly, so carefully hidden from public view. 

Such is the case for spiritual abusers and high-demand church group leaders. They have an appearance of great wisdom, holiness, kindness and righteouness...but inwardly...other sins and motivations are operating.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. (Mt 23:27)
They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbib by others.  (Matthew 23: 5-7 ESV)

There's only way out - genuine heart repentance.




A note to my friends and readers who feel uncomfortable with my language in this post. .Certain terms that were used to force compliance such as "repent" and scripture itself can feel very uncomfortable and triggering after enduring spiritual abuse. This is also called  a "trigger."

I apologize in advance for any discomfort this page may give you and any conflicted feelings that may result. Spiritual Abuse sanctuary has been a helpful resource for me on this journey as has learning about cults and cult recovery.

Peace.

  1. On the Wed. Feb.26, 2014 David Eells on his UBM broadcast reported dreams relative to atrocities against the Bride and Church. David Eells included the name Paul Rimel as a witness with him. There were no facts or discribling the great wickedness or curity, no very cruel or brutal acts done on any persons body, no actual gloomy or fierce reports done on God's people, no specific actual names? Just like the word apostate, a real apostate is someone that has completely forsakes true Christianity or any other religion, their faith or trust, their political party or their principles. David Eells is just railing repeatly on his broadcasts the factious, the slanders, the Judas goats, and so on with his outside the bible teachings, the larger bride group and the smaller manchild group is the new order, and the old church is the old order. David does not believe that reporting the truth is not slander. David still believes and obeys dreams, and visions over God's written words. David tells the brethren not to aid or take away from God's words. Yet David adds and takes away from God's written words. The proof is his fabricated teachings of UBM books and recordings. Would all the men in or even Ester in the bible agree to David's opinions or interpretations of type, shadows,etc of the bride and man childs. What David has done is perverting God's written words. That is to lead or turn or lead from right way or from the truth: to lead estray, to give a wrong meaning to misconstrue: to use for a wrong purpose or in a wrong way; misapply. David Eell's teachings does not really line up with God's written words. Do not be surprised if David Eells has the broadcast deleted from his web site of broadcast Wed. Feb. 26, 2014.
