Re: Dire Prophecies and Good Intentions: 6 Years L
I have a really hard time responding to posts like the one accusing people of being melodramatic for having PTSD from a church situation. It makes me feel belittled, dismissed, misunderstood and, again, falsely accused. It is actually a trigger.

Fact is, the gods of human making are very false god(s). The true God is a work in your life, and it is His desire that you continue to grow and know Him as He really is. He is not at all disturbed by your pursuit of truth and understanding. Unfortunately, many believers only know the false god, invented by carnal and very human men.

I didn't accuse you or anyone else of anything, falsely or otherwise; I simply made a statement.
I'll concede to DG's point of there being rare occurrences where there is serious physical and emotional abuse.

Very rarely, in cases of severe physical or emotional abuse. Not simply due to a screaming preacher on a power trip. If that was the case, 80% of people who've ever been in church would be on a couch describing triggers and their version of PTSD.

Actually the funniest thing I saw in my thread, is me making reference to something else Bro. Epley had warned me about in another thread. Upon hearing that I was giving up the assembling of myself with others, he felt the need to warn me that most serial killers were loners!
So not only am I sill alive, I haven't killed anyone either!

Alright. That may be true. For me, I went through severe trauma. I won't speak for others.
