Agreed! I shared with my wife last night that the main method of EMOTIONAL RAPE was their denying I even have thoughts and feelings. To get this on the table for discussion was huge. The basic lack of respect was profound and they never grew out of it. They proceed as though I am just a robot...

I need the prayers. Thanks! My wife is pretty soft spoken. To see someone viciously scream at me repeatedly was a lot for her to take. Overwhelming, really. And it took us time to realize her high level manipulative tactics. It helps to read posts that don't put pressure on me, such as why...

The fact that you put the problem in paranthesis tells the story. Why do you do that?

Hence the term "emotional rape," forcing a situation the people involved know damn well the other is not consenting to. In my case, my aunt confessed Friday night to asking this estranged family at the funeral if I called would they take the call. For some reason, my aunt thinks the burden is...

Hmmm. I've observed our society over-relying on genetics to explain everything. There is strong evidence, supressed though it may be, that rapists are also genetically pre-disposed. Some say the same with murder. Is this a rationalization to become lawless?

Yes. Hence the need for the thesis statement. Call it executive summary if you prefer. Last summer I published an 18-page report on the state of operations. It included an executive summary. Still, they wanted me to "walk them through it." It makes sense. There were thousands of data points and...

Sounds like you got yourself a one-way-ship. Sunday's sermon was about pruning; the need to jettison things in ones life to make room for better things and to grow.

God delegated his power to Jesus.

Absolutely. If you cannot take the time to write a proper thesis on what you are talking about, I’m NOT going to take the time to watch the vid. I’m not a Florida election official, trying to divine the intent of the voter - or OP.

Oh, I forgot to mention; I prayed relentlessly during this trip, more than I ever have in my life in so few days. I kept getting the message from the Holy Spirit to not meet this estranged family member under any circumstances; they are not ready yet.

EMOTIONAL RAPE. That is the best way to describe the overbearing dynamics in my family. After sharing notes with my wife, we concluded my aunt made 6 attempts to get me to do something I said no to at the start and every time it came up. Without going into details, it involved me reaching out...

@Episkopos, I prefer an OP that has a clearly stated thesis. Without this, I really have no idea where you want to take the conversation. Let me give an example of clearly stated thesis. Coke is better than Pepsi. The reasons for this include higher sales over a sustained period of time. This...

Yes. See biology. It is a scientific fact that opposites attract to the point of procreation. It's only a matter of life and death. But there it is.

It's worse than that. The Adversary's pathway to world wide domination includes destroying our ability to discern, ultimately right from wrong. In this case, parsing synonyms. The claim from the alphabet people is that gender is different from sex. Whereas sex is objective, gender, they say, is...

Because Christianity has been feminized, over emphasis on meekness and undermining exercising our rightful authority in this world, dominion. I passionately hate the song, ‘when I fight, I’ll fight on my knees.”

Jesus did not teach that he is God or that we should pray to him. He said true worshippers worship the Father - not him.

We all know there is no Scripture supporting your IDOLATRY, which is why you have to pretend John 1:1 refers to Jesus when it does not. If it did, the purpose John explained in 20:31 would be to prove Jesus was God incarnate. This was not the purpose And John 1:1 does not refer to Jesus.

Yes, there would reason for the current reality of not for the fallen angels. Just because things played out under certain conditions does not mean they would not have played out the same way under different conditions. It's like supposing if anything changed from the Creation narrative, would...

Yes, just change subjects when your idolatry is challenged. Not God incarnate but his word was made flesh in fulfillment of Deut 18:15-18. Scripture says an attribute of God, his word, would be put into the mouth of one chosen among the people. This chosen person was Jesus who affirmed. Not...

A word is an attribute of a person, not a separate person. Jesus is a person, not an attribute of a person. See the difference? Therefore, Jesus was a person not a word. Have you ever given any thought to how anything can be with X and be X at the same time? A mystic appeals to mysticism. A...
