Actually the forgiveness part wasn't hard for me. I forgave, I have let go of the hurt and negative emotions. But the thing that I haven't done, and at this point am not willing to do is trust. I mean the first time, I didn't know any better, you know?
I was knew to faith, and I just accepted what those in authority told me. I let them twist the Bible to back up their authority, because I didn't know any better.
I am still trying to undo all the wrong teaching and twisted spiritual development that was brought about by their deviation. I don't hate the ministry, but neither do I trust them.
That's a pretty broad statement don't you think? Why are "Ministry" or ministers any different in your eyes than any other member in the body? Just know they are imperfect, submit - but not blindly - and forget the past. This is what we all learn in life - to trust men cautiously but trust God recklessly.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

They aren't. I don't trust anybody. Not with my spirituality.
But somehow I doubt that clarification will make you feel better
