I'M A SURVIVOR!!!!!!

I decided to start this blog out of my own experience with a Pharisee. I first called him Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but upon further examination, have been better able to identify him as a religious pharisee.

Verbal abuse in religious settings is a dirty secret. Even elders and pastors are loathe to address the fact that it runs rampant in their congregations - heaven forbid it goes on in their flock. Abuse knows no socio-economic boundaries. And the only ones who can truly comprehend the horrors of sleeping with the enemy are those who have joined that unfortunate sisterhood.

So, I invite others to ask questions and tell of their experiences. Sadly, my experience has made me somewhat of an expert.

I am Messianic Jewish, coming into a life with the HOLY SPIRIT since November 2000. Were it not for the gift of faith my LORD has given me, I would not have survived the abuse of a pharisee. Their purpose is an ancient one, going all the way back to the Garden of Eden......making you doubt who you are in the LORD.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" Genesis 3:1

Remember, abusers are crafty as the serpent. Just like the devil, they hate women and all they represent. They can only give what they have, and love is not something they have any experience with.

I dedicate this site to my LORD and Savior Yeshua HaMashiach. May all of us who have suffered at the hands of deceivers, manipulators and intimidators achieve a life of skipping like calves. "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. Malachi 4:2
