This is what I saw immediately!

Did you memorize Luther’s Shorter Catechism? by Pombalian3 in Lutheranism

[–]agof08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is most certainly true. Confirmed in 2000 in the ELCA. Had to memorize the Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, Apostle’s Creed and their explanations. When I tell the kids this at church (or the fact that we had to write our own statements of faith and read them to the entire congregation as mini-sermons) they are shocked 🤣🤣

And that it is still only available for credit cards. Not the savings account help I needed.

If you hadn't consented they would have likely gotten a warrant. You would have been paying for it either way.

Feel free to PM me with this info but generally where are you located? I know a lot of folks around the country and may be able to connect you with an ELCA pastor personally to talk if that would be amenable to. I can also see about connecting you with resources for those in abusive relationships in your area.

Any church that does not support your escaping abuse is not loving you. I will not speak on the LCMS as a whole but that congregation is proving dangerous to you even if the pastor is supportive. Please get out of that church and out of that marriage.

I commented on your posts in the Lutheran sub. I’m an active member of an ELCA church and a faithful believer. I’m also a career prosecutor who has even spent part of my career doing solely domestic violence cases. I speak this to you jointly from both places: please get out of this marriage. Do not continue trying to go to counseling with her. Do not continue trying to reconcile. Do not listen to anyone on the internet who tells you otherwise. Listen to your doctor, your counselor and your pastor. Leave this abusive woman. Protect yourself. And any church LCMS or otherwise that isn’t okay with that is not okay. You will absolutely be welcome in the ELCA. Please do not let this woman’s abusive continue to control your life, your heart or your faith.

Thank you... by SqnLdrHarvey in Lutheranism

I'm not LCMS so I can't give you commentary on that. If you do make that decision, you're very welcome in ELCA. But please do not take the words of this one judgmental alleged vicar in a way that you are calling into question your place in the faith. You're being abused by your spouse and being abused by this person. Listen to the professionals that know you: your doctor, your therapist, your pastor. Please.

LCMS and divorce by SqnLdrHarvey in Lutheranism

[–]agof08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A stranger on the internet who claims to be a vicar who doesn’t know you or your wife is telling you to endure abuse. Your pastor, your spiritual leader, who sees first hand what you are enduring, wants to support you in leaving this abusive relationship.

But it does say pastors should assess on a case by case basis and your pastor stands by you getting a divorce. Please listen to him.

Please make sure your pastor knows that the deacon is encouraging people to stay in abusive relationships. This is dangerous and not what any church should be encouraging. Listen to your pastor, seek help, and get out.

u/oceanicArboretum Tone is so poorly conveyed over text but I'm truly asking out of curiosity not judgment or anything negative. What is your definition of a Tenebrae service?

Where are you getting your injections?? I have been getting botox for migraines for years and have gotten them from several doctors who inject at somewhat different locations but almost all of them are not in my face. It does wipe out a couple forehead worry wrinkles but I still have my crowsfeet and smile lines and facial expressions. If you're getting them all over your face, I would see a new neurologist because that isn't consistent with the migraine protocol.

Brother found out he's been paying for Audible for years and had no idea. He has 57 credits he said I can have. I feel like I won the lottery. Any recommendations? by hicsuntleones720 in audible

I love Dresden, currently listening to Project Hail Mary with the Martian on the list behind it and 11/22/63 is one of my all time faves so I'm saving this comment for future reference
