I have never been to a pentecostal church but I recently had what I used to call a very close friend leave the church, not only did he have alot of trauma from 16 years to deal with, but we've recently learned from his ex-wife who also left that he may have SA'd someone else in the church and his pastor forced that woman to leave the church and town. Our group of friends has learned from a couple other people that left similar environments that this has happened not with said previous friend but other members of a chuch in the same sect. Is this common? I know they excommunicate quickly and easily but do they cover up things like this?
