A response to ‪@nikietalambert‬ and Asha’s discussion on the International Church of Christ (ICOC) Hierarchy and Leader Worship. The full video can be found here:
• ICOC series: Hierarchy...
This response is from one who’s been around the ICOC for over 20 years, was disfellowshipped (kicked out), came back, but has been relatively distant member since then.

I'm sorry for your painful experiences. Thank you for sharing.

@BDav1058 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your story! Learning to become grateful for what happened is a deeply intense process.

@AfricanMartialArts Год назад

Thanks Brittany! You’re so right, but it has made me who I am and I would change it 😊 Now, it’s just how can I use this experience to help others!

100% on EVERYthing you’ve mentioned- I wasn’t in long either, I agree 25 yrs later…despite therapy, delphi-forums and time….it is still an emotional scar. I left on my own but I congratulate you on being disfellowshiped👏🏾🙌🏾🎉🏆THAT’s the way to go!!

Thanks Ms. Patty! Disfellowshipped is the way to go! Lol! 😂 I appreciate your kind words! I actually came back to ICOC after the Kriete letter, but too much to put in one video 😅 I’m glad someone remembers the Delphi forums too!

I quit the ICOC two years ago after 18 years of membership and am using my artwork to heal my pain as an Illustration major at Long Beach City College in Long Beach, CA. Plus, the majority of my art is displayed at LBCC's Disabled Student Programs & Services and at a clinic at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health since the ICOC didn't want me to use my art for the greater good of the church. They wanted me to be their token mentally ill member.

Thanks awesome, Dashell, that you found your voice through art and using it as a means to release the pain and heal! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Reach out to me dude, I’ve got a wild story with ICOC and interesting perspective on how we should treat this. Would love to be on the show, I’ve done a few podcasts and still have my old studio setup!

@AfricanMartialArts Год назад

Thanks Caleb, sorry, but not in the ICOC video business. I spoke my peace and that’s all I have to say on the matter. Appreciate you reaching out though!

What do guys think? What trauma have you experienced and where are you on your journey to healing?

@Ken.411 Год назад

I experienced a lot of spiritual trauma and feeling like i've failed God. One of the shepherds told me I was being "disobedient to Jesus" by not agreeing to pay the amount of the money they expected members to pay each week and by not attending the frequent meetings every week outside of church. It was painful but I've healed a lot and have learned that a personal relationship with God should depend on any one church.

@@Ken.411 Thanks for sharing that. I know spaces have previously existed for us to share our stories, but there’s definitely not enough. I’m glad you’ve healed a lot and learned in the process.
