I am still angry

[jane]

I am still angry. Period.




How is it that someone comes onto this thread as a minister in bold capital letters, tells us how to heal, what to do....now he has apologized, told us his story and the people who "reacted" are feeling like they need to apologize or leave???? They are the ones PMing him, making him feel better....

People do things that tick people off. I don't care what anyone says contrary. I don't like seeing others who have been abused fall into patterns of feeling like they are a "bad girl" or "broke rules" for standing up for themselves. Period.

I don't like seeing them or myself second guess myself when arrows come against us....old arrows or new. Telling us that maybe he is wrong, maybe his intentions are wrong, but YOU ARE WRONG FOR FIGHTING BACK>

That is what I am reading.

I don't like reading posts that tell people who are angry that there is always someone who is looking to get angry for any little reason....

Mike's initial post was not a little reason. There was reason for us to stand up and question it, period. Not because I was abused before, not because I am "new to recovery" and haven't arrived yet and certainly not because I go looking for any reason to be angry.

I was angry because he came in here arrogant, assuming, directive and with a LARGE TITLE.

He apologized, I can get over it.

But I refuse to get let these other issues be swept under the rug without my speaking up. Inuendos, accusations and hurts that I am seeing--- is not something that I am going to "get over"; not without me speaking up.

Kerrin, Butterfly, Jerry, Voyager, Janice and to anyone else who Responded, reacted, etc......IT IS OK FOR YOU TO DO SO>>>>

and if anyone won't listen to your voice then in the words of a very wise man, pass them the salt!

Jane&Kerrin,,,,
Just for the record,,,,I think I was the first ,or one of the first, to respond to "Minister Mike"....I had to think a while before posting.....Although my initial post in responce doesn't reflect it,,,,,,,,,,,several "Colorful Metaphores" were running through my head....Mikes first post was provocrative(is that spelled right :rolleyes: ) and no one on this board should be taken to task for the way they responded,,,,,I had a real hard time not going off on Mike like" Muselenii from the Balcony" :eek:
Love Jerry
P.S. this isn't the first time things got stirred up in here,,,,,and I am sure it woun't be the last,,,,,,,,,,,such is life ;)

Jerry, Kerrin, Jane,
Before I read the post, I was already confused. :eek: The name Yahashea I think was a missplled word for Yeshua, which is the name of Jesus in Hebrew (the name he was actually called by his friends). I was thinking, why would someone name themself Jesus? I am so in awe of Yeshua, (Jesus) that I can't imagine naming myself that. Maybe I misunderstood, but this was strange to me.

Kerrin, I am sorry you got so much flack. You were just being honest and I thank you for that. I completely understand you alls reactions to my post. I for one like your honesty and everyone else that spoke their mind thank you. Please keep posting. As you all can see I need lots of help and unless honest folks are here then how could I get the support and help I need. You are doing just what you need to be doing. You were watchful and no one can fault you for that. I was not hurt or offended by anyones post, I was educated.

I was told that the name yahshea was different from yashua and I truly would never name myself Jesus. I chose the name for who He is not who I am. To be honest I never thought about the way people would see it. I am able to cancel that account and add another that would be more fitting for email if you all think it to weird. Just let me know how you feel and I will try to be helpful in this matter.

It's up to you. I didn't mean to criticize your name, just to let you know that when I read it, not knowing anything about you, that was my first impression.
Then I realized that you were Mike, after.

It truth, though, there is no correct spelling for the name Yashua because we don't have an english alphabet to correspond with the hebrew letters. The best we can do is attempt to spell it based on how it is pronounced. That is why there are so many different pronunciations. Your spelling sure sounded like it to me. I just thought since Messianic Jews use that as their name for Jesus, and many others, that they might think it wierd.

If you want to keep it, by all means do what you think is best. I just thought expressing my honest reaction in a polite way would be OK and certainly you wouldn't think you were being abused. I bow out of this now, as I read your post on the other thread. I don't want to get involved this thing.
