Burning Bed - Story of Domestic violence!
2008-05-15 17:29:00
Burning Bed was a movie that started to wake people up when it came to matters of domestic violence. Its a story of a women that tried to escape many times, and was failed by the system, family and was left with no real support system.Domestic violence or Domestic Abuse is more than hitting. I have heard to many times Pastors telling women that until he hits you you must not separate.I have to wonder if people LOOK to the other factors of wife abuse, martial abuse in general. Men and Women alike get verbally and emotionally abused by partners, spouses and the effects are mininized. They are told to parrot scripture and pray more to help them deal with the effects. That may work for some people, but in alot of cases it sends people into deeper despair! They are given the excuse of almost NOT being cooperative if they can't find a way of getting over it. They need to ask themselves if Jesus would tell the oppressed to JUST get over it! Love them more and show them respect ......

God is there even as you suffer, and you feel tested!
2008-05-12 17:44:00
I had to watch this video twice to get the full impact. I hope you get it quicker than I did! LOL! It shows how God is waiting for us, and will fight for us even when times in our eyes are NOT good!1Co 10:13 You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it. Look for God's way out of it!

The Owl's Song: Domestic Violence: the Story of a Dancer
2008-05-07 16:39:00
The Owl's Song : Domestic Violence : the Story of a DancerStory of a dancer named Eva. She was a victim of domestic violence, and another example of how her pastor told her:What was the pastor's counsel? (He told me this with tears in his eyes.) He had told her to be more submissive. He told her to obey her husband and to strive to please him in every way. He told her that if she did what the Bible said, God would take care of her and her children. Now she was dead.What haunts me most about this story is not that Eva suffered abuse and was brutally murdered. It is not that her two children now had a daddy in prison and a mommy in Heaven. It is what my pastor said. He was a young man, good hearted, kind and earnest. He said to me, in distress, "Perhaps I should not have told her those things. Perhaps I should have helped her get away from him."Perhaps?Very moving read!

Submit to even abuse, because God will honor you!
2008-05-02 13:56:00
I'm sickened by a moderator on a board coming to the women's forum to step in, and tell women to stay and pray. Truly sickened!He starts with:This is going to be one of those rare times when, as a leader on this board, a man is going to post in the ladies forum. But in this case I think it important because there are just some things being said in here that require it.I asked this question of a lady that disagrees with me on this matter and I'll ask here as well. Which do you figure more important in God's eyes. The relationship between a slave and master or a husband and wife? It seems an insane question doesn't it. But we know the answer because we know the importance of a covenant relationship and the weight God puts behind such relationship.Let's forget all of the emotional and worldly logic here and let's see what the Bible has to say about stuff just like this. I know that the world is going to tell you all sorts of thing and I know if you are being abused in any fashi...

Will you love me to Death?

beanerywriters had a post about a poem Domestic Violence, and the author's children even got involved with the process! There is no name listed for the author, and please check out the blog linked above for other good sources of literature on the subject!While I was writing this poem, the kids wanted to know what I was doing. I told them I was writing the poem as a way of releasing that part of my life, and they thought they wanted to help. They wanted to do something, so I told them we would do a cover for the poem, a cover page. And I told them we would each draw a picture, but I let them draw two pictures, representing or depicting what those five years?the worst of the five years?meant to us.The night has closed in; the hour?s grown late.In hopeless despair, we ponder our fate.The door soon kicks in. How angry you are!!Oh no! Not again!! Not yet another scar!!!Two little boys are down on their knees.Their terrified cries: ?Please don?t! Daddy please!!?That look on your face. T...

A Pastor's Role in Domestic Violence
2008-05-01 05:22:00
I had an email sent to me by a poster that was having problems with her blogger/google account, and asked me to mention an article she had written.Pastors, for the most part, have no concept of domestic violence issues. I posted a report I wrote on a pastor's training seminar led by Carol J. Adams: A PASTOR’S ROLE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, filed in the DOMESTIC VIOLENCE category on my blogsite, www.carolyncholland.wordpress.com. It is a good article to present to pastors who are faced with this issue. We need more pastors who are trained in dealing with domestic violence, since victims are usually told to speak with their pastors. Thank you for posting this comment. Carolyn C. Holland I had read her article the same night she had sent me a note! Its worth going there, and reading it!One thing struck me after I read the article a second time, and I may be reading TO MUCH into it...but here goes!There are three steps in pastoral dealings with domestic violence.

Personal Safety Device for Victims of Domestic Violence!
2008-04-29 17:02:00
This is our TOOL FOR TUESDAY!Stop the Abuse had an article recently on a device that could call the police in a moments notice if this is something that you need!The poster has an offer at the end if you would like to check into the system for you and your family.I've recently learned that there's a national company ( Phillips Lifeline -- 1-800-543-3546) that specializes in home alert systems. The systems are used primarily by people in frail health and who live alone, to call for medical help.But what about calling for law enforcement help? It can be used for that also. I'm informed that many people in remote areas use it. The equipment is basically a dialer that's installed on your phone. When you push the button (around your neck or in your pocket), the 24-hour trained professionals come on your speaker phone and ask what you need. You only need to say, "Call the cops!" and they'll be on their way.I have spoken with this company and they've sent me coupons to save up ...

Baptism - His Excuse for Domestic Violence!
2008-04-25 17:32:00
Shakesville had an article called, "Domestic Violence , Ownership of Women, and of course Jesus!"Team Chairman Dan Rooney of the Steelers Football team had two of his players in trouble with the law for Domestic Abuse. Cedrick Wilson it seems got into a bit more trouble with the team after his arrest, but James Harrison it seems had a GOOD excuse!Mr. Harrison according to a police affidavit, broke down a door, broke Ms. Tibbott's cell phone in half as she attempted to call 911, then slapped her face with an open hand, knocking off her glasses. I almost fell off my chair when I read the 'justification' over this!"What Jimmy Harrison was doing and how the incident occurred, what he was trying to do was really well worth it," he said of Mr. Harrison's initial intent with his son. "He was doing something that was good, wanted to take his son to get baptized where he lived and things like that. She said she didn't want to do it."How about that! Its okay to act like that if you tryi...

Poem about wife abuse and her faith! Shattered Dreams!
2008-04-24 15:47:00
I came across this poem about domestic violence in the faith realm, and I wanted to share it with people today. I think alot of people can very much relate to what the author is saying.I read part of her story about domestic abuse last night, and I have to tell you I had to stop in a couple of places. It was very triggering for me. She speaks alot more of emotional abuse, verbal abuse than physical abuse. She stated:Emotional abuse is the worst kind in my mind, because it's the hardest to see and prove. I remember seeing the movie, "The Burning Bed", with Farrah Fawcett. It was a true story of a woman who had been savagely abused by her husband until one day in desperation she set fire to the house as he lay passed out in a drunken stupor. After hearing her testimony, she was found not guilty, by reason of temporary insanity. I really related to that movie. Not that I ever thought of taking it that far, but I often thought it would come to that, one of us having to die before i...
