How Did Word of Faith Fellowship Sue Child Protective Services Over Abuse — and Win?
A former teacher at the Word of Faith Christian School told the Associated Press that in the middle of class, children would surround a classmate accused of having demons, throw them to the floor, and beat them. Teachers were allegedly told not to stop it. The school, which operated on the Spindale compound under Jane Whaley’s authority, was one piece of the church’s alleged control over children and families. Former members described a practice of removing children from their biological parents and placing them with ministers to be raised. In some cases, contact was allegedly cut for up to ten years. According to former members, the separations served as loyalty engineering — children bonded with church guardians while biological parents were trapped, unable to leave without forfeiting their kids. When parents did leave the church and fought for custody, the Word of Faith Fellowship reportedly used its resources to fight them in court. Three single mothers described a church member and county court clerk who allegedly bypassed the foster system to gain custody of their children. A judge found clear evidence of abuse and neglect inside the fellowship. The church sued the Department of Social Services and reportedly won, closing investigations. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation into what former members say was a machine designed to weaponize family bonds.
