I watched the corruption and cover-up activities of the SBC, some of its churches, and too many of its pastors for too long. whenever an attempt was made to speak out becoming the enemy was the result. <BR/>Christa, I hope we can be a source of strength to you as you win this up-hill battle. You have demonstrated great courage and faith to lead out like you have. For you, I am thankful.<BR/>To the others who visit this blog, thank you for your faithfulness and courage to cry out in the wilderness. <BR/>Thanks to everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-1804477645470706382008-11-28T11:47:00.000-06:002008-11-28T11:47:00.000-06:00Christa,It is so often that a victim of abuse beco...Christa,<BR/>It is so often that a victim of abuse becomes somewhat a "perfectionist", driven to do everything perfectly, for reasons we know, to make fill up a feeling of hopelessness, sometimes to atone for false guilt.<BR/><BR/>Just want to say I am thankful for you. And I am very thankful specifically for one of your "failures". I am thankful that there was a time where you could not "do-the-job-right".<BR/>I and many others would have missed something special. So I guess I'm saying thanks for not being perfect. And thank you for being who you are.<BR/>oc.ochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910693449008506409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-7474452894447559232008-11-28T05:28:00.000-06:002008-11-28T05:28:00.000-06:00The message of the church of hell has alwasy been ...The message of the church of hell has alwasy been that the weak and innocent are useful only for food, for selling into slavery, and for offering to false gods. The SBC and IFB give abundant evidence that they actually have nothing to do with Christ and have far more in common with the blood thirsty religions devoted to Molech and Ba'al.<BR/><BR/>I'm thankful that, from that cesspool of false religion, God has drawn out His own people, to show them His mercy and to give them fellowship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for the evidence of Christ, who also suffered from false religious leaders, in your life and ministry.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234147722462126392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-21670758118439977722008-11-27T09:33:00.000-06:002008-11-27T09:33:00.000-06:00Christa, I'm thankful for your "relentless" commit...Christa,<BR/> I'm thankful for your "relentless" committment to victims, survivors, and to the truth. I'm grateful your voice does make such a difference to so many. I'm thankful for your friendship... and that you continue to let your light shine!!!!<BR/>Happy Thanksgiving!gmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713588262748876624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-64455527842928537732008-11-26T12:39:00.000-06:002008-11-26T12:39:00.000-06:00"I’ve seen the effect of Baptist leaders’ “you don..."I’ve seen the effect of Baptist leaders’ “you don’t matter” message on many other clergy abuse survivors. It’s such a terribly hateful lesson for religious leaders to teach."<BR/><BR/>They have a lot to worry about. They do not take seriously 1 John or Hebrews 10:26-31. Not to mention Corinthians 5:<BR/><BR/> "But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person."<BR/><BR/>We are not to even keep company with such people who profess Christ but do these perverted things...and yet, they are hired and kept on in churches even when the truth becomes public.<BR/><BR/>Their protectors simply ignore the same bible they quote to you about you being vengeful. Amazing huh? And they are supposed to be the theologians.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723395060585207854noreply@blogger.com
