Hey, I can relate to what you are saying. I wish there was a magic ‘fix’ and I knew what it was. I want to come hug you. Just know that I am here for you and if you need to talk or know of anything I can do, let me know. Hugs. Love you, Angie

Ang started the topic Angie's Story in the forum Spiritual Abuse 1 year, 2 months ago
It is interesting how this happened. I’ve been wanting to write my story and get it out for a while. I didn’t ‘write my story’ but this is the www debut of what happened. Granted it is a very abbreviated version with so many other things that happened. I really respect Holly for her work with the NAR so I was happy that she wanted to my sto…[Read more]

I find this so thought provoking.

Ang started the topic Tithe – Money Back Guarantee in the forum The Church 1 year, 11 months ago

I went there a couple times but realized it wasn’t for me. Money back guarantee on the tithe isn’t a bad deal, huh? I wonder how many asked for and got their refu…[Read more]
