Well, I pop in from time to time........to read my personal messages and see how everyone is doing, thinking maybe I could come back.
This place meant so much to me for the years that I was here......A place to question, talk, vent, find a way out of such devasting pain and confusion......and fear. I miss some of the people that are here....... I experience things and want to come here and share........but how is this place any different than the church that I came out of????
WOW, I see people are still allowed to beat each other up. (in the name of Jesus for some :eek:)
I just don't know how you can continue being abusive if you have actually endured abuse. Somehow in my little mind I am thinking that if you know how it feels to be attacked and abused you wouldn't be able to do it for one moment to someone else.
Decieve yourselves if you need to......back things up with scripture or even the Webster Dictionary for all I care......it is still abuse.
If you disagree with someone, try ignoring the post or posting what you believe...........
goodness. A locked thread still leaves words of scarring. If some of those words were mine, I would be ashamed of myself, but then I experienced the painful arrows from spiritual abuse and couldn't fathom trying to shame, blame or belittle someone for having a different opinion than my own.
At least I hope not.
A few of you really need to seek counseling, and I am not meaning this in an attacking, name calling way. There were two posters that when I read some things, I thought, wow, it is too bad that they wouldn't be able to recieve anything from me........because they need to find a counselor to help them. The pain, wounds, anger and seeing things that aren't in the thread.....to me are symptoms that you need some serious help......for your own sakes.
There have been a few times when a posting has caused one of you to think that people "meant" something that they didn't; that saw personal attacks where it was just opinion; that accused people of ganging up against you when there was no evidence of this......please get to a counselor to help you get free from these paranoid, PTSD like symptoms. If you could see it the way it comes out, you would know what I am trying to say.
Peace to all of you.........
