Thanks, too, to whoever changed my moderated status.
One quick note before signing off tonight- just because one talks about this subject doesn't mean they must still be hurt, angry, bitter or any of the other negatives. Think about it this way: Many testify as to how they used to be before they turned to God. They aren't wallowing in those memories by doing so, nor are they glorifying them. They are simply testifying as to God's delivering power.
In the same way, people who have been subject to spiritual abuse can do the same thing. They aren't where they were before; God brought them through. And in sharing, they can help and touch someone who is not yet where they are. Just as testifying as to where we were before the Lord can touch someone who was like what we were and help them, so can speaking up about spiritual abuse.
Something to think about.....
