Things i cannot say on this report but need to be said...
1) the institutional church has effectively abused an entire generation of women... and specifically Black women... wanted their fruit, with complete disregard for their seeds
2) There is a deep and abiding vein of anti intellectualism running through the church that shackles our preaching and praxis ... it is not the bug it is the feature (why would you send people to seminary and abuse them for using their training?)
Y'all don't understand how wild America used to be...
we used to send Children to a lady house to keep them all day
her only qualification was most of them came back alive
it was like 50 a week.. 60 if they were not potty trained
the babies could be new depending on "what all you got going on"
there were no certifications, no licenses, no examination
you didnt call and check in... there were no mid day photos ... the safety of your children hinged on the timing of her smoke breaks and your relationship with Jesus
a not insignificant number of men spent two months in what can only be considered intellectual warfare with a hypothetical bear ... AND lost ... needless to say... kinda cooked out here
You are streaming to places beyond your congregation… that is a choice you made and continue to make… own that choice and the ratification of that choice
Moreover… you didn’t check to make sure she was okay
