Wicked Shepherds

Wicked Shepherds site deals with spiritual abuse mostly among Reformed Baptist churches. It includes a pretty decent checklist of spiritually abusive traits, though because some of the abuse in this particular church involves pitting spouses against each other, it does include some traits not mentioned in too many other lists. There are good articles on the site, too, such as When should a Christian leave a church? and Calling a spade a spade, an analysis on name-calling and Matthew 23, along with a list of names Jesus called the abusive religious leaders of his time.

Spiritual Abuse Survey

Church Abuse.com features a short checklist to help you determine whether your group or church is abusive or not. There are many such checklists online and they are all a little different. Some emphasize certain abusive behaviors and not others, while others will emphasize a different set of abusive traits. Abusive churches come in many varieties and will not likely match up exactly to any of these checklists. Still, they are helpful because they show that these behaviors are common.
