apostasy alert's article "Emotional Attack"
2007-06-05 01:56:00 LINKI found yet another author that JUST didn't go far enough into what "emotional abuse" is to understand, and went ahead with judgements. I guess I will never understand that myself. There is alot of material out there that speaks about Emotion al abuse. The list the author supplied - YES is part of it! Its hardly covers the spectrum of the subject. Then why use it? I mean did the author do any digging about the dynamics of a person that is emotionally abusive? Its clear he/she did not! I have to be honest here if they were really all that interested they would speak to a respected faith based abuse ministry and tell them, "I don't get it! Can you explain?" The author clearly isn't interested in this. How sad.Why do I say that? The simplistic answer about how it is all subjective, and if your partner does do these things you INDEED need counseling! If the author KNEW what emotional abuse was - they wouldn't make such statements! YES I'm sure we have all dished ou... More About: Article , Apostasy , Artic , Attack

Resurrection Scars = How Jesus would handle things
2007-05-30 06:56:00 ScarsResurrection Scarsby Ginny Hunt (Thank you Ginny for allowing us to share this!)Springtime is heralded as a glorious season of new life, of freshness and of renewal. During this time most Christian families celebrate the atoning death and victorious resurrection of our blessed Savior. It is the resurrection season. Yet, for those who have endured a long winter of family abuse or are still living in homes marked by cruelty and violence the dream of new life sometimes remains elusive. Women who have left the violence behind often find themselves still wrestling with dead, cold winters of the soul long after the years of abuse have past. Searing, icy winds of depression and despair can force one to wonder if the resurrected life in Christ is true or real for them. They look behind them and in front of them and all they can see are the ravages of winter in the scarred landscape of their lives. The scars tell a story, wounded sisters, a resurrection story.If a man came to you and t... More About: Jesus , Scars , Domestic abuse , Things , Hand

"Whatever you do, It ain't right!" Response! Christian men and their wifes
2007-05-23 23:55:00 Okay! I will be honest here, but I sure see an 'air' of blame, and no honestly placing accountability towards behavior here! I found another article that is driving me right up a wall! LINK for the entire thing.Oftentimes, husbands can be overbearing upon their wives without fully realizing the consequences of it. This is especially true of Christian wives who are taught to be submissive and obedient to their husbands (which is God's way). However, it is not good for a husband to be overbearing; in fact, it's a sin if the wife is being abused. Men are dominant by nature; that is to say, they want to have control over everything that is there's. Nothing makes a man angrier than when he loses control over what is his. If a wife leaves her husband, he has lost control of her. If other people are giving her advice, the husband is at the mercy of the wife's sense of judgment during her time of despair. Oftentimes, wives are given ungodly advice by well-meaning, but carnal people. O... More About: Response

2007-05-16 01:37:00 LINKVery good article - please read the entire thing!The ending I will quote here!HOW YOU CAN HELPThe most important thing you can do for a friend or family member who's being abused is to let the person know you care. They need to know that you are there for them, no matter what. If you see signs or specific behavior patterns in a loved one or friend, you cannot look away. Here are some things to be alert to. Is she:*Not coming to family gatherings or outings?*Making excuses for not showing up when they're expected?*Wearing clothes that hide arms and legs during hot weather.*Appearing irritable or depressed?*Talking about trouble in the relationship?*Openly admitting emotional, physical or sexual abuse?These are all signs of abuse.If someone is trying to reach out to you for help, don't pass it off as a one time incident.

Lessons for David and Saul - Prospective on Domestic Abuse
2007-04-23 02:45:00 I recently found a website called "Abigails" They have a bible study for domestic abuse based I Samuel 16-26. They pointed out various traits we tend to read about in abusers (Saul) and victims (David ). They also have some good reference materials including links for battered men, safety plans, article about legal advice, etc. I have placed those links in my "helpful link" or "men's section".Below is the last page of the study. There was one verse that STUCK me when I read it as I went into this study.Proverbs 9:7 If you correct conceited people, you will only be insulted. If you reprimand evil people, you will only get hurt.I was WOWED! LOL! See below for the last page!Link to this pageWinning at Any PriceHave you ever had the feeling that your partner sees you as an enemy? Saul repeatedly called David his "enemy" (1 Samuel 19:17 and 24:19), even though David swore not to harm him (1 Samuel 24:21-22) and spared his life twice (1 Samuel 24 and 26).

Breaking the 'Holy Hush'
2007-04-14 01:02:00 Breaking the 'Holy Hush 'Evangelicals find new resources to address domestic violence.by Gail MartinThe U.S. Department of Justice estimates that about 1.5 million women in the United States are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year. Nearly one-third of American women report having experienced physical or sexual abuse by a husband or boyfriend at some point during their lives, according to the Commonwealth Fund?s 1998 Survey of Women?s Health. Christians are no exception to these alarming statistics.?The rate of abuse in Christian homes is exactly the same as in the general population,? says Catherine Clark Kroeger, co-founder of Peace and Safety in the Christian Home (PASCH). ?If we could tear off the secrecy and then allow God?s grace to work, that would be the greatest gift.?

Monties Blog and article on abuse
2007-04-08 18:48:00 Here is the link in question: LINKThis blogger doesn't tell people to STAY in the relationship if there is abuse. The blogger it seems doesn't seem to understand what emotional abuse is. Recently one lady told me that "there was no difference between emotional abuse and physical abuse". That is an untrue statement. Emotional abuse is where someone systematically attacks your feelings. Physical abuse is where someone physically attacks you. There is difference of course, but emotional abuse is hardly just attacking someone's feelings! I have this feeling it was taken out of context! The effects of emotional and physical abuse are just as destructive. The author sadly downplays this. If he spoke to any man, woman or children that is targeted in depth he may change his mind.You made a committment, when you walk away from that committment you have broken your vows. Its as simple as that. After you made that committment (and often sealed it by having childrent) it is your respo... More About: Abuse , Article , Blog , Artic , Mont
Segment from 20/20 on Domestic Abuse
2007-03-30 04:24:00 I saw this on TV, and finally someone posted it on youtube.This man shows clearly what emotional and verbal abuse is about. He also decides to use physical abuse as well.What's telling about this case is that even tho there is a video tape over an hour long - husband made his child tape it for 'training purposes' to show the family WHY she deserves this......its a misdeanor! In court could be sent to jail for max. a year, but out without 9 months. The fact that her boss paid attention, and kept a calendar as to when she was hurt, the video tape, and 2 out of 3 children stepped up in court to testify against him.....and also other things I'm sure he was sentenced to 30 years. They asked him to plea out so the children didn't have to take the stand, and he refused to do that. He got the longest sentence on record without killing someone for domestic abuse. Most never see jailtime of substance at all because it is very hard to convict!I posted this on a panel of abused women... More About: Abuse , Domestic , Domestic abuse , Dome
German Judge Cites Quran as an excuse for Domestic Violence!
2007-03-25 06:59:00 New York Times Article LinkFRANKFURT, March 22 ? A German judge has stirred a storm of protest by citing the Koran in turning down a German Muslim woman?s request for a speedy divorce on the ground that her husband beat her.In a ruling that underlines the tension between Muslim customs and European laws, the judge, Christa Datz-Winter, noted that the couple came from a Moroccan cultural milieu, in which it is common for husbands to beat their wives. The Koran, she wrote in her decision, sanctions such physical abuse.The court in Frankfurt abruptly removed Judge Datz-Winter from the case on Wednesday, saying it could not justify her reasoning. The woman?s lawyer, Barbara Becker-Rojczyk, said she decided to publicize the ruling, which was issued in January, after the court refused her request for a new judge.?It was terrible for my client,? Ms. Becker-Rojczyk said. ?This man beat her seriously from the beginning of their marriage. After they separated, he called her and threatened to ... More About: Quran , Domestic , Domestic abuse
The edicts of Elyashiv, By Yair Sheleg
2007-03-20 01:39:00 LINK T., a Haredi woman, divorced her husband several years ago. The husband conditioned the granting of a get (religious divorce) on allowing all other issues that had been discussed at the outset in rabbinical court to continue to be discussed there. After a while, the woman submitted an appeal regarding the children's education to the Family Court (her representative claimed this was a subject that was not discussed in the rabbinical court previously, and therefore, did not constitute a violation of the agreement). The injured husband turned to the Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court, which ruled that the appeal to the secular court aroused doubts about the get's validity. This statement placed the woman in a terrible situation: She has married another man since then, and they even have a child. If the get is canceled, she will be considered in terms of religious law, still married to her former husband, and her new child will be considered a mamzer (a child born to someone other than t...
Jesus is Savior site - Divorce an Abusive Spouse?
2007-03-16 13:54:00 Link to ArticleFirst off I'm going to assume this author's heart is in the right place, but I clearly see some red flags in his understanding of abuse!I wrote before about one of his articles, and he changed this one from what he was saying in past. He toned down the feminist rant a bit, but clearly still doesn't truly get it! His lack of knowledge of what abuse is, and the dynamics, mindsets is very clear!Interestingly, and sadly, all we see on the internet and in society today is talk about domestic violence; but NEVER do we hear anything about statistics on wives who refuse to obey their husbands. It is evil. It is just as sinful for a wife to frustrate her husband through insubordination and disobedience as it is for a man to commit domestic violence. I am not lessening the sin of domestic violence, I am emphasizing the sin of wives who rebel against their husbands by not being obedient. I realize this is ancient mentality to feminists today; but it is 100% Biblical doc... More About: Divorce , Jesus , Site , Jesu , Abusive

How To Spot Religious Abuse
2007-03-06 17:52:00 How to Spot Religious Abuse by Rafael Martinez, Director, Spiritwatch MinistriesLinkThis article below really spoke to me! I can see how people that are abused within the family are never heard in such communities.As we have consistently asserted, there are indeed many fine, balanced and healthy Christian churches and associations where wholesome and uplifting spirituality serves as the foundation for their activity, ministry, and contribution to society as a whole, seeking to serve its needs for the sake of the Christian Gospel, and for the love of all men. Sadly, however, there have been some which have lost their balance and focus, becoming spiritually toxic places where many people and many communities were adversely and irreparably turned away from Christianity itself. Who would want to trust in a faith where God's love was seemingly quite conditional, where hypocrisy and judgmentalism were quite visible, and where salvation came at a price of divided families, alienated nei...
