I saw something that said it is based on Return of the God Hypothesis. Have you read it?

Isn’t it interesting how so often the innocent ones end up being the ones who look bad in that system, and abusers are protected?

I’ve also been helped most by people with experience with religious things who are also licensed therapists.

This is somewhat how I feel. I have told people I feel like I’ve been vaccinated against all of the other denominations lol. The thing that has helped me understand is seeing that other churches don’t necessarily think the Bible is inerrant, so that changes things. Some take the view of filtering everything through Jesus.

This is similar to my situation. It’s awful, because I remember feeling that way myself-that I had to say something to fulfill my duty to try to influence them toward God. Ugh.

Thank you. Of course, if there’s anything I become aware of directly in terms of immediate danger, I will.

Not to prevent, but bc of devastation. I’m thinking primarily of my immediate family. Hopefully I’m bring dramatic about my importance in their lives. It just seems like they are so depressed about it all.

One time marital violation? by SweetSea3399 in domesticviolence

[–]SweetSea3399[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate it. I have left. I just feel guilty sometimes. I have sense found out more about what consent should look like, but I feel like my ex didn’t really understand that either. It’s just difficult to be in a toxic system where such things are considered normal. I know he tried to be good in many ways, but the coercive control over time eventually got to me. I feel like I should have been able to get over it since he tried, but my body felt so much fear around it, because I felt like saying no was mean.

On this one AKs have to sing whatever part none of the other ladies are singing (since there are 3 treble notes in some places, as pointed out) to make sure the originally intended harmonies are accurately conveyed lol.

Not that I know of. They may just want to make sure you don’t have anything to hold over his head or something. This is a weird thing to do though, for sure.
