How to deal with someone being "abused".

[Jean Poole]

True Christians™, I received the following telephone call from my sister Cindy-Lou a few days ago. My husband and brother-in-law say I dealt with it very well. Cindy is now trying to submit harder, although she still deserves a few beatings.

C-L: Please, Jean, can I come stay with you in Freehold? I had three broken bones last time my husband beat me!

Me: Cindy-Lou, you should be grateful he didn't beat you harder. Corinthians 1 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. The woman is made FOR man. He can do what he wishes with your sinful self!

C-L: But I'm scared!

Me: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Cindy-Lou, if you are frightened of your husband, you obviously don't love him perfectly, as you should!

C-L: I do love him! But he hits me for no reason, and it frightens me.

Me: No reason? He can sense your fear and hates you for it. He loves you, you don't frighten him! Why are you so unloving?

C-L: But there must be more to it than that, Jean.

Me: I'm sure there is. Do you SUBMIT enough? Do you do whatever he asks? Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. That means your husband is the BOSS of you. He can do what he likes, and he is not answerable to you.

C-L: Please reconsider Jean. Let me stay with you.

Me: No, and I will inform both our husbands that you have been speaking behind your DH's back. Goodbye, Cindy! I refuse to speak to you until you are a real True Christian™ wife.

*END*

Cindy says that due to my intervention, she has been submitting more than ever and has God truly on her side again! Her poor DH will never suffer her fear and wily distrust again.

She should leave his sorry ass immediately and go to a battered women's shelter. From there, she should call the police and file assault and abttery charges against her low-life husband.

Why Sister Poole! Now I'm going to be real surprised if that situation didn't sort itself out almost instantly! You are a quick thinker, have appropriate verses on the tip of your tongue and all delivered in a True Christian manner.

Tell me, have you ever considered offering such advice professionally to those who wish to write in? Shy ladies sometimes do not wish to discuss the most private of matters with a Pastor and a Pastor may himself be surprised to hear some of the "Ladies' matters". You could then publish all the lurid details sensitive matters for general advice (with the women suitably renamed e.g. Jezebel, Harlot, Witch of Endor, etc.)

Where's that in the Bible, witch?

I am honored, Mr. Bathfire! I'm not sure how to do such a thing, though. I am certain I could not give such marvellous advice as my dear friend Mrs. Betty Bowers.

Re: How to deal with someone being "abused".

Mrs Betty Bowers fills an entirely different role; her ministering is directed to the, how should I say, …spiritually higher. When she speaks, anyone who is anyone listens and acts. (Think of the initials GWB…)

For your part, we are looking at the housewife, the betrothed young lady, the widow, the single yet hopeful young lady, the spinster of modest social rank. They are often the least likely to be able to think for themselves – as your family shows.

A quiet word somewhere in private with a Pastor may help show the advantages and avoid any pratfalls.

She was shrieking in pain ,and you had the audacity to slam the door at her face.I'm beginning to think that some of you are devoid of emotions and common sense.

I've long thought that the unsaved trash who come to this discussion board to persecute us True Christians™ are devoid of spiritual discernment and Bible knowledge.

I have spiritual discernment ,and I have all the time in the world to learn more about God's Word.The Bible says nothing about chastizing in such a heinous matter. .Be a good Samaritan..

Totally agree, you don't show love for somebody by beating them.

She should have been beaten even harder for shrieking.

GOOD True Christian wives know better than to ever utter a sound. I never make a peep when Pastor Zeke backhands me. I usually know I have it coming.

That was wonderful advice you gave her Sister Jean. HE is surely very proud of you!

Do you have any shred of respect for yourself?Stand up for your rights..you are playing a precarious game.

Why, of course I do!

When Pastor Zeke gives me a black eye or a bloody lip I am reminded of how much he loves me every time I see it in the mirror or wince from the pain.

He loves me sooooooo much! If he didn't love me he wouldn't beat me and keep me on the straight and narrow!

Pull your head outta your fanny Sambo. If you aren't beating the tar outta your tar baby wife, you don't love her and she will go to HELLI I'm glad Zeke doesn't want ME to go to HELL!

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Re: How to deal with someone being "abused".

I have spiritual discernment ,

Don't tell us; let us figure it out from your posts.

and I have all the time in the world to learn more about God's Word.

Then I suggest you get started.

The Bible says nothing about chastizing in such a heinous matter. .Be a good Samaritan..

Did you even read the verses that Sister Poole posted?

Do you have any shred of respect for yourself?Stand up for your rights..you are playing a precarious game.

It is you who are playing a precarious game with your eternal fate.

Urm,that's called masochism and it's very sick and immoral.If he loves you,why doesn't he talk to you like an mature adult instead of wildly berating you.One day,you will have a hemorrhage and die in a pool of blood.Please,I would suggest to pack your bags and leave before your mental state exacerbates.Don't become brainsick like all of these people.
