Signs of Spiritual Abuse

One Emotion Churches (Only allowed to show one emotion of “happy” or rejoicing (1 Thess 5:16), any other emotion is shamed/looked down on
Can’t challenge leadership. (If you do, you're ultimately disobeying God. In theory they tell you to challenge them, but in practice they get defensive)
Giving your leftovers to the Lord
Everything is Spiritual (If you suffer with anxiety or mental disorders, then you are shamed for not “trusting God” ) / False promises- Come to Jesus and all your addictions will go away
Connection to God- Can only connect thru prayer, devotion, going to church. What if someone connects thru music, nature, art?
Legalism- Controlling (Church must approve who you date, what jobs you take, if you move, etc (Extreme case)
