I realize that, but I am so very tired for the victims to be blamed, and for the rotten pastors to be defended at all costs.....I realize just now what I said didn't sound correct...what I meant to say was that my hearts desire if for these people to have Compassion and not blame.......

These are standards one can preach from the pulpit.

2.) Personal Convictions, (from God to individuals)

God touches each heart indivdually and often times these convictions can vary from saint to saint. These are not made for preachers/pastors/saints to impose on others.

3.) Of Men

When pastors/preacher/saints try to put their personal convictions on others.

You missed the point but that doesn't surprise me much.

it came out wrong...I am not bitter I am happy to be free.....I am sad that they are so blind

Actually you did. You replied to my comment with a post I didn't even address.

I replied to your post- for some reason it included my previous post.

You missed the point and that was my point. You need to go back an re-read Epley's post about annointed preacher to understand.

My last post here on this thread because this subject has been done to death, those that choose to not see what has happened never will because they are so sure of their being right and we that have been hurt are ungreateful and bitter and angry and anything but right.....I am sorry for my previous post because it came out wrong...I wish NO ONE ill....I am just so so so sorry that men of God can not have compassion and at least give consideration to the fact that this is true.....


There are many forms of abuse............and they all leave scars even when you can not see them, and scars on the heart are the very worst!!! this may be my last post on this forum, because I am so tired of running around in circles and beating all the same topics to death....I have many new friends and many new blessing in my life and I just don't need this anymore.....talk about dwelling in the past.....that is what goes on here over and over and over and over......................there are none so blind than those that WILL not see............

You are right- there are many forms of abuse and they do leave scars. It's sad that some on here are too proud/stubborn to admit it.

In my situation- I left the UPCI and all the sudden the try to discredit you and say you are like a dog going back to his own vomit, etc. You will be seven times worse. They try to scare you so much because that is a tactic of psychological warfare still used today by militaries.

I recently heard my old pastor who had a saint leave his church say ' she is lost forever '.

These kind of comments are so uncalled for and they are very abusive.

Was Joseph done wrong? Yes! Did it really hurt to have his brothers turn on him? Yes! Was it of God? Yes! I'm sure he needed what he got because other wise he could not have been ready for the position that God had in mind for him.
