Still, these are a select few from over a 25 year period. I am aware of their methods and success has not only been found with this type of counselling at Mercy, but in other organizations as well. I'm going to close with this last comment. Thanks for the conversation. Bye

Not true, the Australian homes where 1/3 of the program participants came forward to report mistreatment have only been operating since 2001.
The method of telling young women who suffer from mental illness was the main form of counselling at Mercy Ministries, it's there in black and white for you to see for yourself.
Thank you also for the conversation. However, it's a shame some people turn away from the facts to defend those who abuse.

That is my concern - bashing Mercy Ministries as a whole when it appears that the problem occured in one home in one location.
I'm not sure that anyone can comment on what Mercy told the girls with eating disorders in that particular home if they weren't eye witnesses. However, to dismiss the need for deliverance entirely is incorrect in my view. Sometimes that is the cause of a mental illness. Sometimes it is more complicated than that. Each individual is different.

Have you not read all the reports? Former residents from BOTH Australian homes as well as from the Nashville home have come forward. These issues did not occur in only one home in one location.
Those who have seen the counselling materials Mercy Ministries uses can comment on what is taught to the girls. I take it you haven't seen these?

To see the counselling materials used, head over to the mercysurvivors website and be enlightened. There are scanned copies on the website.
These counselling materials and teachings were used in all the Mercy Ministries homes, in several countries, not just in one home as you suggest.
Enlighten yourself. Nobody is "Bashing" Mercy Ministries. Speaking out against abuse is something Jesus would do, not cover it up.

Yes, over a 25 year period, I see that as a select few.
I believe that addressing the spiritual aspect is most definetely a necessary part of healing from mental illness.
God Bless.

You do realise that Mercy Ministries has only been running in Australia since 2001, so not for 25 years?
Addressing the spiritual aspect is one thing, but telling young women that they have an eating disorder because of demons in them is totally different, and that is what Mercy Ministries does.

I find it strange that there are a select few people claiming abuse. Makes me wonder what their motives really are. Some mental illnesses are characteristic of attacking people who actually love and care about them.

I find it strange that you label 1/3 of program participants in Australia, as well as a number of program participants in other countries "a select few."

After over 25 years of successful ministry, in my opinon, that is a select few. Just how I see the situation. I'm sorry if you were hurt. I've been hurt by Christians too, but it hasn't changed my view of God, deliverance, and proper methods of healing (like at Mercy Ministries).

So 1/3 of the Australians who went there is a select few to you? Interesting.
I take it you agree with their teachings that mental illness is caused by demons and that exorcisms is the best treatment to cure mental illness?

They are called Mercy for a reason.
People there are always begging for mercy, and receive none.
