Did You Hear? Men Get to Be Heads Over Women FOREVER According to the Counsel on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

220H

I wish I was joking, but I’m not. “According to the ESS folk at the CBMW (the headquarters of the hierarchical complementarian camp), wives will continue to submit to their husbands in heaven/the consummate kingdom/eternity.

Remember the story of Odysseus from your Greek mythology class? At one point on his journey home after fighting in the Trojan War, Odysseus had to maneuver his ship between a narrow passage. On one side was a monster, Charybdis, who created a whirlpool three times a day that would suck a ship under and destroy it. On the other side was another monster, Scylla, who posed an equal threat to any ship that dared to attempt passage. If the ship avoided Charybdis, it would surely run into Scylla.

Conquer Support Group is Taking Applicants This Week!

Heads up! If you are looking for more intense support, I highly recommend Leslie Vernick’s Conquer support group. For only $27 per month (which I think is a bargain when you consider how much private counseling costs – and this can be just as effective) you get access to a library of videos on all kinds of subjects pertaining to abuse survivors. You’ll also get to be part of an amazing community of women, like yourself, on a private Facebook page. I think this was my favorite part about Conquer. I didn’t feel alone. I had a place to share my raw feelings without being ignored and dismissed. People prayed for me, and I prayed for them.

Finally, you’ll be a part of two group phone calls per month where you can ask questions and hear Leslie’s answers. If you can swing $27 per month, it will be money well spent in your recovery and healing.

Conquer enrollment only takes place twice a year, so hop on board from now until April 23 at midnight.

This is a great little clip to send to someone who believes your very convincing emotionally abusive partner. When the helper tells you to “love them more” as the solution, it only emboldens the abusive partner. Here’s why:

If you want to share this short clip with a “people helper” via email, but you don’t want to link them directly to this blog, here’s a link that leads straight to the clip: http://www.youtube.com/v/cMnaexahcLo?version=3&start=338&end=446&autoplay=0&hl=en_US&rel=0
