the church's gaslighting practices
The church makes changes to policies and practices and even doctrine but also claims that nothing has every changed. They will claim transparency and at the same time omit many truths from members. They have spun a narrative about church history that is not true, and then when members find out the real truths, the church claims it has always told the truth. The church gaslights members by making them feel crazy when facts are not as they were taught. They are changing the narrative before our eyes while also claiming it has always been.
