Another thought...


I posted a lot of these things a long time ago....on another unnamed forum...and I got beat up pretty good, because many did not either believe me or thought I was just bitter....I hope that now you all can see that this is a problem in some churches....


The thing is I believe that in the UPC(which is all I know about)...the very structure of the church promotes this kind of pastoring...with the exclusionary attitude that prevails..."we are the true church, and the only church" "We are the only ones that have the truth, and are saved" I think this helps breed this sort of situation...

I see another thread going about why don't Apostolic smile? They are to tired, and many are very depressed especially the women...I see them often treated as second class citizens instead of a precious treasure! Women deserve more than be a barer of children and cleaner of toilets....

I am NOT a feminist and I love being home taking care of my husband and son when he was growing up, but my hubby thinks nothing of pitching in and helping...whatever needs to be done...it is OUR home not mine...I have watched men sit and be served like kings....with little appreciation and little respect...I love being a wife and mother, and I love my husband being a fine man...which he is...but I have heard over and over that he is an uncommon man, because of his kind and gentle ways and his love and respect for women!....Don't know where all that came from but its just part of what my experience was....
