I'd be careful. Mercy Ministries has been falsely flagging videos critical of Mercy as copyright infringement. Even interviews with Mercy-Survivors. One guy had his account taken down.

Many of the girls who have since come forth are graduates, or left of their own choice. Not everybody "failed" the program, but what they're saying it true, so they feel it's important to come out in support of them.

Hillsong has no connection to this.

Just FYI.

thank goodness for australia!! in america she would be seen as the devil by christian fundamentalists.

i am not suprised to hear about this because a lot of organization, these days, say they are christian and godly but actually they are doing evil things.

@greenbeanhope Because the survey wasn't done with participants from the Australian homes, it was from US participants . Also, I'm aware of the survey you're thinking of - and you need to realise that not all participants in Mercy's programs in the US were surveyed :( According to them, they surveyed some participants who they were still in touch with - so they were very selective. Those not surveyed weren't counted in the results. There are many ways like this to skew survey results.

@greenbeanhope As far as any numbers and %s given by staff of Mercy in Australia, there were later retractions of those statistics, around the time the government investigated and they were shut down. It was a really sad situation with so many vulnerable girls being lied to and hurt, by people claiming to be Christians :(

[greenbeanhope]

@silverrose72 I have heard that the Australia home was closed down. Why is there a 93% rate of girls saying it helped them then if it is so abusive?

[silverrose72]

@dalekwatcher As far as I know, there was no monetary payment from Today Tonight. There was a full investigation into Mercy Ministries practices in Australia by the government and their services were shut down.

@heavensmelody No, that's what you get for falsely advertising the qualifications of your staff, charging people for a "free" program, and abusing young people who are already facing challenges, all the while pretending to be a Christian organization.

@greenbeanhope What are you talking about? Most of the people who reported Mercy Ministries for what they were doing are Christians. Mercy Ministries was doing the wrong thing, which is why they were investigated and closed down.
