A hundred times YES!!
Just a gentle reminder: In an abusive dynamic, the victim isn’t the problem. The victim’s response to being abused isn’t the problem. The victim’s anger to being abused isn’t the problem. The victim’s grief to being abused isn’t the problem. The abuse is the problem.

My Loss of Faith - I wrote this addressing specific Evangelical views on loss of faith. I hope to write again soon about the ideas that I found most compelling in agnosticism/atheism. I'd love to hear your feedback! exposingreligiousabuse.com/p…

Adult clergy abuse is when a faith leader uses his position to target, groom, and engage in “consensual” sexual contact with someone in his congregation or under his influence. There are no exceptions to this kind of dehumanizing objectification, exploitation and betrayal.

This week a survivor finally escaping domestic abuse told me that she'd given up on the idea that church was a place to go for help, after being failed by 4 churches. She'd count on them for preaching, but not again for care, because of this, over and over again.
“Church leaders who speak empathetic words and make empty promises without substantive and self-sacrificing actions are exploiting and re-victimizing the abuse survivors who still have hope that the church will do ‘the right thing.’” @BozT

When I received this "apology" email from my former pastor...out of the blue...I took time to consider how I really felt & the messages I've learned from others. I decided to write what I thought to see if I could make sense of my feelings. tinyurl.com/2sce77r3

Presbyteries are wholly unqualified to investigate allegations of clergy sexual abuse. While we’re at it, the Book of Church Order should never be the guide to investigating abuse in the church. julieroys.com/pastor-accused…

It's not just young, hipster megachurch pastors who sport insanely expensive apparel and accessories. Just learned there's an Instagram account called @prophetsnwatch, exposing the luxury timepieces sported by even some more mature Christian celebs like @johnmacarthur.
