"The Children's Commissioner is calling for the urgent closure of Gloriavale Christian School, saying she has zero confidence that students are safe. Children's Commissioner Dr Claire Achmad spoke to Corin Dann."
"If this sounds familiar to you, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is part of the same denomination."
" ... Wilson is a Christian patriarch who teaches, among other puritanical and high-control doctrines regarding family government, that women are to submit to their husbands and shouldn't be allowed to vote. My family was part of Wilson's congregation, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), until 2007, when I narrowly escaped what I now call church-sanctioned domestic abuse. The scene above is an excerpt from my bestselling memoir about that life and escape, "A Well-Trained Wife."
My husband believed Wilson's teaching held the key to the Christian Golden Age, a shining millennium where Christian ethics and white men rule without resistance or room for anyone else. It goes by several names. Dominion theology. Federalism. Calvinism. New Calvinism. Fundamentalism."
"A recent court case has brought serious allegations against the Community of Jesus, a religious group on Cape Cod, from a former child member who claims he was forced into unpaid labor and trafficked. The testimony describes exploitation during his time in the group, framing the Community as an abusive environment masked by religious practice. The case is drawing attention to long-standing concerns about the organization's treatment of members, with court proceedings now putting those claims under public and legal scrutiny."
"Literature evidence documenting the occurrence of relaxation-induced anxiety is reviewed, and several hypothesized mechanisms to explain the phenomenon are discussed. Possible avenues for circumventing the problem in therapy are offered. Finally, a theoretical model is presented wherein the phenomenon is viewed with a broader framework designed to explain the development and maintenance of the more generalized anxiety disorders. That framework emphasizes the emergence of fear of somatic anxiety cues and fear of loss of control from more fundamental interpersonal anxieties."
