DR.LOREN DUE PHD. PENTECOSTAL ELDER , Speaks out about incest in the church in his New Book " Shhhh, Don't Tell"

My name is Loren Due and I am a survivor/over comer of childhood sexual abuse, incest, rape and molestation. I was 4 or 5 years-old when I was raped by my teenage brother and/or my father and molested by my older sister and father.

My father was an ordained Pentecostal Elder. You may ask where my mother was; she worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. My father worked odd jobs; mostly as a janitor. Other times he was off running revivals and stuff for the church.

When I was 36 and my son was 12 I sat him down and shared with him the facts of life as the Holy Spirit instructed me to teach him and not touch him as I had been touched. The Lord blessed me with a 12 year-old daughter when I married my wife and I was 44.

Through all this transition the Lord made it clear that I was not to touch my children; which includes my grandson and granddaughter. In my brother’s family (the pastor) his oldest daughter and youngest son had sex when they were kids and some years later it is reported the patterned continued with some of my brother’s grand kids (this is unconfirmed by me).

The Lord has brought healing and deliverance in my life by blessing me to forgive and love my dad who is deceased, my brother who is a pastor and my sister who is almost 20 years older than I. In 2006, 60 years after I was born I got a breakthrough that Jesus loves me and that I can love him, my wife and others – I am learning to really love.

My mission is to spread the good news about Jesus and expose and confront anything that holds individuals and families back from truly loving the Lord and one another.

SILENCE IS NEVER GOLDEN. IT’S TIME THIS PAINFUL SUBJECT IS EXPOSED!

If you, or someone you love, are part of the countless number of people worldwide whose lives have been adversely affected by sexual abuse, you may have felt hopeless in a world that tries to keep a lid on the reality of the situation.

Why am I doing this? Because I want to prove to you that I know what I’m talking about and that I can help.

This is a topic that is not talked about in the church and in the world today and is brushed under the carpet.

The new website will be launched on next week with a special PRIVATE number where you can call for support and help.

That site reminds me of many sites I see and also of many tv evangelists. If you want my help I CAN help you but first send me $19.95 so that I can do so. Helping people overcome that kind of abuse is not something someone should capitalize on and try to make money off of. Now if you want to write you story and make money off of it fine but to HELP people??? just screams money hungry to me.
