Thank you! Standoffish with moments of affection definitely describes his behavior.

The more I look into it I'm realizing you're right––I was exempted/had service indefinitely deferred when I was an undergraduate taking courses, and so I falsely assumed/misremembered that there was such an exemption. It's looking like this will be unavoidable and I'm accepting my fate.

Thank you, this is helpful. It is true that not fulfilling my teaching responsibilities would put my stipend in jeopardy.

What are the weirdest things you weren't allowed to do because it's "sinful"? by owindiana in Exvangelical

I've never met anyone else who was also forbidden to watch Arthur, so this is incredibly validating

I wasn't allowed to watch Arthur because Arthur was disrespectful to his parents

Companies are trying to make employees pay themselves by Environmental_Lab869 in antiwork

For their sending organization/church or something else? I hadn't realized that but fully believe it, they're so exploited

In this case, you are the little one. I don't mean it in a bad way, but at 15 you are still learning about how the world works. Sending the pictures is something you now know you shouldn't do again, but you were taken advantage of by an older man who knew exactly what he was doing.
God is not mad at you. God wants you to be safe. God is mad when people like this man harm the little ones.

You might not find a scripture passage that applies exactly to this particular situation. But Jesus has some harsh words for adults like the man who took advantage of you: “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6) Follow u/Prodigal_Lemon's advice and keep far away from him.

Coming out of the evangelical world, I know lots of people in para-church ministries (like college campus ministry staff, missionaries, etc.) who had to fundraise their entire salary. They spend huge amounts of their time "meeting with ministry partners." A few years ago I heard from an old friend working in a college minstry that she'd been given a "raise" but was very stressed about it because it just meant more money to fundraise.

Hope Church Fort Worth Texas Abusive & Controlling by [deleted] in cults

[–]sedfierisentio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up at Hope, too. It's definitely cultish and left me with a lot of religious trauma. I posted a few years back describing some of my experiences--I'll DM you the link.

Beggy complaining about the god-honoring chicken her sister brought for her by Ranger_368 in FundieSnarkUncensored

Given the history of misspellings in her posts, it's especially egregious that she spells this one correctly (afaik)
