A fundamentalist evangelical high school classmate on Facebook posted this. Usually I ignore posts like this, but this one was so awful, I posted the response, double-click to enlarge--- "Why should you be a doormat to abusive people?"...... This is the kind of stuff I worry about in a religion that is growing more and more negative especially in conservative and fundamentalist circles. These types of people believe we should crawl back to our abusers and TRY HARDER. Been there done, that. One reason I believe conservative Christian has aligned with fascists and the evil in America are teachings like this that teach people especially women to submit to evil people. So much of conservative Christian is about telling people they are broken and being subservient to the most cruel, the indoctrination here for women is the worse. It worries me. Did you know there is a popular book for evangelical woman out there that teaches AGAINST SELF-LOVE?
"You're Not Enough (And That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love"
Oh probably someone who never had to deal with narcs. It's real easy to wax on about humility and forgiveness, that is, until someone does you real dirty.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't think the person in question has ever had to deal with narcs either, privileged background. Don't they understand in the real world, this just means you get stomped on and used until nothing is left? People who also smear campaign are not normal reasonable people who happened to make a mistake or where there was a misunderstanding that can be remedied.
DeleteMs. 'Umble could be a ravenous wolf, or some wolf's useful idiot. Either way, bad news.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think someone lecturing others on whose more humble, may be someone to watch out for. :/ I'm not close enough to her to know...she really is an acquaintance, but it's worrisome nonetheless.
