Leah,
That article you posted on "What Helps" is the very one I found ! Thanks !
CB,
I still think the universe is calling me to step out a little more, (as it does to eveyone) but I'm glad Leah posted the very article I wanted. I don't think it's really easy to crash a computer, but I plan on getting some "For Dummies" computer books, since I'm a book person. But, who knows? My H has been wanting to get a new system, so maybe we'll have to... :)

Hi CatsPaw,
Finding that article caused me to cry. Which is good for healing. So "Thank You"
I added it to "spiritual abuse" thread.
Would you like me to copy the article over onto this, your thread? Or I can leave it to you, for you to do so, thinking about it.
Thank you again, because I did not know there was "An Answer" and I have ordered the book, just now.
I have kept such a lot to myself, regarding much, for fear of 'whatever' may be, as a result of opening up, throughout my life, generally.
Blessings to you.
Love, Leah

Leah,
Are you saying this was the first time you'd found the article? I thought you were familiar with it, and that's why you posted it.
I think it's OK to leave it where it is, since it's been identified where it is, but I might modify the title of the thread.
I'm glad you're crying the healing type of tears.

P.S. You were posting while I was, just wanted to say it's so understandable that you felt your whole being was ripped apart.

Hi Cats Paw,
After you posted over on CB's thread - mentioning that you had an article on the subject - and you mentioned that you would post it in the next day or so -
- I wondered about it - and so I googled and found an article.
First I had heard of it. First time I had read the article.
So, I added to my 'life story' "Spiritual Abuse" thread.
"Christian Mysogynist" had never occured to me. That is why I wholeheartedly expressed to you a big "Thank You"
The content therein is most enlightening, validating, and answers the reason "why" to much. I have ordered a copy of the book.
Love, Leah

Leah,
I would feel strange saying "You're welcome ", since I accidentally came across the article, so let me just say I'm glad I mentioned
it, that you noticed what I wrote, and that you were able to google the very article I read !

I do believe that the timing was right - purrfect!
I would never have googled as such in a million years.

This is the website I found about 5 years ago.
It has a 12-step program, and has very understandable reading.

Kitty and Leah,
Thanks for posting the article about the phenomenon of Christian misogyny. It took me a long time for it to dawn on me that that is what I was dealing with in my marriage and church--unfortunately, no one wears name tags or labels, and for a long time I just didnt get what was going on.
There's a lot in the article that I could interact with that happened in my own life--but I have stepped on a lot of toes in my own thread about christian beliefs and I am not up for another round. I started a post that brought up some things that had gone on and how I had grown from it. But I don't want to be construed as being judgemental or bashing. Just not worth it.
But, I wanted you to know that the article was very illuminating and I wish I had had it several years ago when I was so confused about what was happening to me. I think it would be worth posting again on this thread to make it more visible. I don't know if anyone here is dealing with the issue, but later readers might be and I think it would be helpful to have it here.
Thanks again, to you both.

CB,
It happened in my life too.
I had no idea - I only wish I had had such information.
Along with Susan Forward Ph.D. - book "Emotional Blackmail"
I was silenced, just the same as others too, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
