      *I have NO IDEA if y'all will see this, BUT I'm gonna type it out regardless, AND HOPE you do!!* I'm soooo incredibly happy you recognized that he was blaspheming God by pulling those stunts! He was USING God, hiding behind Christianity, in order to harass you 🙄 *AND I AM THRILLED y'all understand repentance!!* It's "to turn away" from that sin your committing, NOT something you use as leverage, as blackmail, to try and worm your way back in! He sounds like a manipulative, sociopathic narcissist with sadist tendencies, delusions of grandeur, that is too horrible of human being *to even try* and profess that "God chose him to preach to people" 😒 I hope he understands that God judges those that preach His Word HARSHER than ANY others 🤨 NOBODY gets away with everything FOREVER! You reap what you sow! I'm so sorry you went through all this, but it's incredibly uplifting to know you're STILL strong in your Faith 💜 Wherever you go, whatever you do, I hope you're prosperous, healthy, happy, comforted, protected AND blessed 💜 My dear Sister's, you've ALWAYS got a free place to stay if you're in or around Northeast Texas! I would be honored to be in the presence of your company 💜 God bless you and yours 💜

    Mark, in the future please do not put the locations of where domestic abuse survivors are currently residing. Even just putting their current city is extremely dangerous for them. Their father has shown up to different places where they have been at before, you don’t know what these abusers are capable of. So their locations should be protected.

After 23 yrs found a very small article in the newspaper stating if you did no have a high school diploma you could take a college entry exam - I started college the next day after taking the exam. I graduated with a degree in nursing. He had kicked me out with 1 semester left. Divorced 25 yrs. Never looked back. He died in 2022 - oh well!! Life is good!!

    She is correct.

      Jesus Christ did not come to this earth to ever set up a religion at all. The twisted mindset of wicked men had done that. Jesus Christ said his kingdom is not from here. Meaning earth, his kingdom is outside of time and space, as he created time and space and all things subjected to it. Jesus Christ is the TaskMaster, as he is God, and you and mankind are on trial. 1 man sinned and because of Adam, sin is a curse. Death is that curse. You must be Born Again to have Everlasting Life.

    I’m from Northwest Tennessee myself. My mama, sissy, and myself all survived DV. Your story is somewhat eerily familiar. In our case having to hide it from everyone to the point convening myself that my life was normal and then going on to marry a man who I loved dearly and he worked for my family daily the same cycle continued. Again hiding it from everyone until after 16yr it was enough. I couldn’t take it anymore. It had started with a push and a slap to choking me unconscious to the point I urinated on myself only to wake on the kitchen floor and not even be allowed to get up. The bad thing is that was a mild episode. I was scared but I left he said he would not let anyone else have me and not let me leave. I went to my grandfathers house. Less than 1/4 a mile a way. I was safe!! But the ultimate revenge he killed hisself just a couple of weeks later in our family business. A place I grew up in and went everyday. Four generations worked there. 50plus yrs of business and I didn’t let it stop me from going back. I still love our good times and miss that part of him. I had to forgive so I could move on. But without Gods grace and my sister and grandfather I would have never made it!! So if You read this you can make it!!! May God Bless You and I’m pulling for you too!!!

      @seeyouinthegarden Před 12 dny +1

      I apologize, but you have chosen the wrong diction for this man. A man of the true God does not do this! A man of God does righteous deeds, even when they are at home, because a man of God isn't made by his good deeds, he is made from a good heart. Only Jesus can transform a man's heart to do good, and this man... he was not saved. And even though men of God sin, they repent and do not continue in sin. This was not indeed a man of God, because of the extremity of his sin, and the fact that he continued and did not repent, and delighted in it. I promise you. This man is of the false god, the devil. Because a true man of God knows that the kingdom of God is within, it is doing good from the heart to God people on and off the platform, by His Spirit and the power of His supernatural blood He shed alone.
      That's not to say men of God don't still sin. Only Jesus was perfect, and no man on this earth will ever be, until the new earth. But when true men of God, who have been saved by Jesus' sacrifice, fall into a sin, they are desperately sorry. And they are not sins that are outrageously disgusting, either. No one who walks with the Lord regularly harbors oceans of perversity or murder or any of those terrible sins in their hearts. And if they do have a slight lapse in character and do happen to lust or hate, they are not okay until they change. God is long-suffering... But He is also seriously just. And His Spirit will not always strive with man. That's why there is the sentence of hell for sin.
      See, you can do the church thing, but be totally perverse and wicked on the inside. But a true man of God has the living Spirit of God in him, and even the thought of doing something of this nature would destroy his heart. All this to say, a man of God's life goal is to keep himself from these things, and by the Lord's grace, he DOES.

      @@witchywoman4139 Hello. Thanks for your kind message! That kindness came from the Lord Jesus. Praise Him. I honestly hope you repent because witchcraft is trying to be god or get to God without God's prescribed ways, in your own way and works. It is not acceptable. He says only His Spirit can please Him. Do you think your witchcraft will bring you into a peaceable eternity? God forbid. He won't let man's darkness into His eternal sanctuary. There are testimonies out there of people seeking the truth and thinking they were a good witch only to see that it lead people to false hope and a Godless eternity. Witchcraft is done to make people powerful and prosperous in the here and now. Mankind doesn't need prosperity now, it needs to see that we are evil and headed to hell. But what Jesus did on the cross can save mankind from their perversity. One must accept it or deny, just in the same way one submits to the laws of witchcraft. And then, there is power unending, true and sacrificial love eternal, and freedom to be creative in an innocent way forever.

    Yet you were right there. You saw it, heard it, smelled it.. and you didn't shed a tear.
    You failed miserably to protect your children.
    Domestic violence shelters have been around for over 50 years in every state.
    You failed to discover options via escape.

      First of all, if he was abusing the children, what are the odds that he wasn’t abusing her as well? Yes, she should have protected her children. AND, it’s sometimes difficult to protect others when you can’t even protect yourself. Add on top of that that she was probably being told by everyone in her sphere that her role is to honor and obey her husband. She would be told that he is the leader of the house and her job is to submit to his will.If she reached out to these people for help, they would have told her SHE was the one in the wrong. Only a monster wants to hurt their children or see them hurt and I don’t believe this woman is a monster, so maybe grace would be better than judgement in this case.

    Thank you Mark for this interview. So sad what they went through. That male, cant call him a man, should have been put in jail, and got beaten every day with a board. Like he gave his poor child. When the mother said, she walked around on egg shells, i totally related to that and wonder if people who grew up in normal familys with no abuse in the house can understand how that feels. My dad use to hit our mother and he was 6ft 2, and 240 pounds. He punched my mom with those great big fists. I remember from 3 yrs old, laying in bed knots in my stomach, waiting for him to come home and was he going to punch our mom out tonight. My two brothers 4 and 5 yrs older then me, where laying awake in their rooms afraid of the same thing. It was the 1950s and there was no where for women to go. One morning after she got up and cooked him a nice breakfast at 5 am, he punced her out and shut both her eyes. We called the police. We were crying and so upset. The police said there is nothing we can do to him unless we ses him hit her. At least today, if she had that hapoen they will lock them up for punching women like that. My dad did not beat us kids. He stopped hitting my mother when my brothers became teens and were as big as him. To any female who reads my note, the first time your man, hits you, make it his last. Men who respect women never put their hands on a woman. If they do it once, they will do it again. Dont give them that chance. Best wishs to the mom and daughter who shared their story. God bless you both.

      I have been through abuse and it did a number on me. My ex was not directly abusive to my kids … if he had been, I believe I would have called the police… this woman was groomed and brainwashed… maybe she saw this kind of abuse growing up - to some degree.
      I was a part of a church for a while that some of the leadership believed that you could NOT get a divorce for domestic abuse … only adultery so, that woman may have been told that as well.

Unfortunately, the Bible itself isn't read and devoured as it should be to be able to truly decipher what "leadership" tells it's sheep. Leadership isn't even in the Bible, and is all just made up as time went on. Our leadership is the God of the Bible, God the Father, and he sent Jesus to show us how to live and when he departed he sent the Holy Spirit. These are our leaderships and that's it. We are to congregate, but whatever is in the Bible, that's the way it goes and not leadership. It looks like so many people just listen to other sinners around us whether friends or "leadership" and they are no more righteous than we. Be blessed in your future. I hope you are able these days to find the realness behind God's word and that alone to be rightfully divided for one scripture or two alone never works, but many scriptures together confirm.
