I stil say, the orginal poster needs to apologize to her husband for misbehaving.

Men do not correct women without a good reason. If he did not care, he would not spend the time on her. Simple stuff, even a female should be able to understand the basics of following rules/rewards.

Yes! Finally somebody just comes out and says what needs saying! Thank you Brother Hutchins!

Now, listen, Sister, bring his children back to your man and beg for his forgiveness!! What kind of woman puts her husband through this trauma?

It is the work of the devil. He is the man and you are to submit to him. There are no ifs, ands, or buts.

Mind your place woman, as all Godly women do.

This is an excellent point, Brother James. Possessed people are known to do all sorts of things to inflict harm upon themselves. Reminds me of a man in North Salem.

Joe had a reputation as a flirt. All the ladies liked him, he was so friendly and handsome. Turns out he was actually attempting to seduce the wives of other men!

He was immediately thrown out of my congregation and his name removed from the rolls, but in his sex-demon-possessed state, he continued pestering the ladies.

One night, in a self-destructive rage after leaving a cheap motel, he cut his own brake lines before driving. No more Joe.

Ah, it was a beautiful funeral.

Any of these fit him?

Demonic Possession

1. filthy, uncontrolled swearing without provocation, even toward total strangers
2. total incapability of submitting to anyone or anything but demonic authority
3. irrevernt, vile, lewd comments about members of the Godhead; comments attributing gross sexual immorality to Jesus
4. sustained supernatural strength or intelligence beyond that which might come from adrenaline or some other physiological source
5. irrationality to the degree that even the simplest spiritual truths are beyond comprehension
6. intense, highly disturbed reaction to the mentions of Jesus' blood shed on the cross for man's sin and Jesus' name
7. possession of supernatural, occultic powers (ability to foretell future events, to levitate tables or other objects, or to travel outside the body (astral projection)
8. wild, unnatural facial contortions (no not like Jim Carrey)
9. presence of two or more distinguishable, coherent personalities, personalities capable of expressing themselves simultaneously (may include emergence of strange voices, dual or multiple voices and/or unnatural conversations)
10. unexplainable,, uncontrollable terror especially in the presence of Christians whose faith is strong (this terror arises either from the demon's fear of being cast out or from the possessed person's fear upon being cruelly threatened by the demon(s)).
11. extreme violent, reckless behavior (throwing knives, playing with poisonous snakes, etc.)
12. severe, persistent depression, despondency and/or temptations to commit suicide
13. total lack of self-restraint, especially in sexual behavior; uncontrolled sexual advances
14. extreme disregard for physical appearance and/or physical well-being
15. intense loneliness, even in the midst of warm, compassionate fellowship

Except he's correcting me for things that I don't understand, or have no control over it. Going on dog training, you teach the dog something and only correct after they fully understand what you ask. What's the use of correcting someone/thing if they don't understand what they're being corrected for?

He's not at home right now, he's on the road. I made sure the cats had lots of food when I was over there yesterday, the dogs are at a friends, and we're crammed into this little apartment with my brother.

Why do I feel like the world is against me, if I leave I'll be in abject poverty, if I stay, nothing will change. These drugs sure make me tired.

3. irrevernt, vile, lewd comments about members of the Godhead; comments attributing gross sexual immorality to Jesus Never
4. sustained supernatural strength or intelligence beyond that which might come from adrenaline or some other physiological source Well he's probably one of the most intelligent people I know, but it doesn't strike me as supernatural.
5. irrationality to the degree that even the simplest spiritual truths are beyond comprehension No, although he keeps a lot of it to himself.
6. intense, highly disturbed reaction to the mentions of Jesus' blood shed on the cross for man's sin and Jesus' name No
7. possession of supernatural, occultic powers (ability to foretell future events, to levitate tables or other objects, or to travel outside the body (astral projection) Definitely not.
8. wild, unnatural facial contortions (no not like Jim Carrey) No
9. presence of two or more distinguishable, coherent personalities, personalities capable of expressing themselves simultaneously (may include emergence of strange voices, dual or multiple voices and/or unnatural conversations) Not unless both of them are quiet and reserved.
10. unexplainable,, uncontrollable terror especially in the presence of Christians whose faith is strong (this terror arises either from the demon's fear of being cast out or from the possessed person's fear upon being cruelly threatened by the demon(s)). This would describe me more than him. Loud, large, overbearing women tend to scare me.
11. extreme violent, reckless behavior (throwing knives, playing with poisonous snakes, etc.) Wouldn't this make him a Pentecostal? Okay, bad joke, but no.
12. severe, persistent depression, despondency and/or temptations to commit suicide Again, more me than him.
13. total lack of self-restraint, especially in sexual behavior; uncontrolled sexual advances The exact opposite, well with me anyway.
14. extreme disregard for physical appearance and/or physical well-being No, he's very well groomed.
15. intense loneliness, even in the midst of warm, compassionate fellowship Again, more me than him.

As a mere woman, many things confuse you. That is one of the reasons there are men, to be around to figure things out and give you direction. Your first mistake is trying to come up with your own ideas, doing what you want. It is not all about you. It is about your Husband and your Sons.
When training a dog, if they fail to follow a command, they get corrected. They have nearly no minds and cannot ever understand. But they learn to not do the wrong thing. Take away all the wrong things and you are left with only the right things.
You need to do what your Husband says, do not question Him. Be glad He shows interest in you. Again, if He did not care, He would not spend the time on you. I am sure it pains Him more than it pains you to correct you. You need to see how you make Him suffer for your selfishness.

Brother Hutchins, I think I love you. If I ever find myself a widow I shall surely seek to become your humble and servile bride. Never have I met such a Godly man. Pretend men are everywhere, Christian men are few.

Forgive me for being so forward. I will ask my husband to discipline me, though I won't tell him exactly why. That should make the discipline especially severe, as I deserve.

Very kind words, thank you sister but (LOL) you have to get in line!. Mistress Cookie has first dibs if my current wife disappears.

You should not ask your husband for his attentions. Interrupting him is rude. Instead, simply kneel before him, ready to accept what ever he proffers.

Can you please only say things like that in private? This is a family forum!

Brother, even a dog has to know what it did wrong when you correct it, or else the correction is useless. Am I so wrong to ask to be treated at least as well as a dog?

You are correct Brother, I was thinking more along the lines of in public. Such as with neighbours or myself. Of course I don't know what he's doing when he's on the road. Maybe he has a "girlfriend" in every town.

Well Sister, you seem to enjoy being disciplined as you actually beg your husband on a fairly regular basis for it. Somehow I don't find torn muscles (my shoulder still hurts) and bruises so enjoyable.

I'm going back to the counsellor today as well. I'm having a crisis of faith as well.

[Good Will]

you're showing signs of common sense there's a difrence in diciplining and beating up. smacking would qualify as diciplining. hearing your injury you've been beaten up for real. i think you havent deserved that in the slightest.

[James Hutchins]

BIG, I like, my wife likes you. But you need to step back for a minute. Who is the man, who is the woman?
Look at it this way. God is above us all. He tells us what to do, we are not to question Him. If we do, we can expect repercussions. We do as He tells us. We do not disagree or only follow part of what He demands. The people that do are wishy washy Sunday only salad bar Christians. We are True Christan's™. We follow His every word, every second of every day of every week of every year, without falter or deviation. I am sure you agree with me on this.
Now, God is the head honcho. God manages your Husband. Your Husband manages you and his sons. You manage your daughters. Therefore, you Husband is only doing Gods bidding. You do not want him to go against God's wishes, do you?
I am sorry you have some discomfort. I am sure it pained your Husband as well, having to correct you. So do not be so selfish. Think about how your Husband feels and more importantly, how God feels. I suspect he is fairly sad over the whole sordid matter.
I think it would be in your best interst to spring clean the house, and bake a few pies. Show everyone you have learned your lessons. It is important you put on a smile and show the world the perfect life you are living.

[Nutella88]

Yeah you may follow his every word. And I understand the beating in a way to maybe teach a lesson (though I do not beat my own wife). But there is a line in how physical you can get with your woman. And all this crap about it's all her fault is just plain wrong.

I agree. The husband probably also shares a very small bit of the blame. It's unfortunate she does not have a male relative who can talk some sense into her husband on her behalf. The husband of one of my daughters was not treating her right and after I politely discussed that matter with him during a hunting party he started treating her a lot better.

Why do you hate Jesus and your wife so much?

I could ask you the same question. Husband in your case.

Yes you could. But that would be silly because Sister Kitty clearly loves Jesus. Why are you playing silly games instead of just answering the question?

I am not playing games. Why did she not ask you the same question? You obviously agreed to some extend with me on the last part. I do not hate Jesus.

You are misleading yourself. You hate Jesus without even realizing it. Please stop doing that, Jesus deserves better.
