THIS ALL DAY. People have posted multiple personal testimonies and links to other well-researched stories. Stop trolling here, and read them. Wisdom is of the Lord.

Sure. Paul said treat your wife as if she's part of your own body; you wouldn't deprive or intentionally harm part of your body. If you do, you dishonor not only yourself, but God's creation and thus God himself. Also, your question is highly offensive. Domestic abuse is NEVER okay, whether...

There are organizations based in the USA that have been dealing with women's rights internationally for decades. Glad to have you on board!

thank you :) When I re-read it I felt like I sounded a little snotty, but I meant "you" in the "we" sense. I think about this whenever I struggle and also whenever I catch myself feeling spiritually smug.

I'm gonna take issue with the question itself... sometimes, a "normal" person is deeply wounded and even damaged by being mistreated by someone else. Implying that someone with "challenges," is a freak isn't very nice. You would not say that about someone who was hit by a drunk driver and...

I think the only honest answer to this question is "probably, but I hope not." My great-granddad was tortured in Soviet gulags and believe me, most of us would sing like canaries. Next time you stub your toe or slam your knee on a table corner, and have to struggle not to curse, ask yourself...

So how do you explain domestic abuse by Christians?

I'm so sorry for every part of this. :( We got a lot of the "well, he is the head of the household" and "he has a right to discipline you" shtick as well. I'm so glad our very wise & wonderful Baptist pastor at the time called my mom into his office and said "you need to leave your husband."...

Dude you need to lighten up. :) Jesus set us free, so we do not have to have a spirit of fear. Let the Holy Spirit help you, without "seeing the lake of fire" whenever you fall short of ultimate spiritual perfection (which you will do, like clockwork, every single day for the rest of your...

Might want to also familiarize yourself with the Christian problem of this. Don't know how many times my own dad yelled Bible verses while punching or strangling my mom or me, or whipping my brother until his back was a bloody mess. How Pastors Perceive Domestic Violence Differently

it's not just Muslims. I hope you're a feminist and anti-domestic violence activist if you're so focused on women's rights.

I almost can't believe I'm posting this but I can't stop thinking about it so it's either a crush or a burden. You decide ^_^ Joaquin Phoenix (the actor) has been in the news a lot lately because of his awesome portrayal in "Walk the Line". Now, I keep reading about all this exposure he's...

praying!! :)

LOL thanks guys... I met with them yesterday and they swear this time they will get it to me. They're air-mailing it so I should have it by Friday at the latest. I think it's hilarious that they're having to air-mail me a check from.... downtown! I wonder how many times it'll fly around the...

ehhhh. Bank of America (they deserve a shout-out by name) has completely messed up my account. Their latest feat is losing $6,500. Now I have finally proved that the money is mine, that they took it and that they should return it. That was two weeks ago. Since then, I've been trying to...

ugh... the head partner of my bro's law firm turns out to have violated a myriad of ethics rules allegedly. It looks terrible for the firm, the guy was just sanctioned and apparently there's more to come. My brother has been unhappy for a while but the best offer he has requires a $20k pay...

YESSS!! At least the best years physically LOL. I'm 32 and starting to see my age somwhat... metabolism going down the drain, gray hair all over the place, etc. wahhhh. Unfortunately I think I spent the prettiest years of my life sleeping alone. ^_^

well, other than the obvious things like be violent (physically or sexually)... it really puts me off when a guy treats me all nice but then is rude to everyone else -- ie waiters, cab drivers, homeless people, etc. But then I can't really imagine a Christian ever doing that.
