    When I searched *how to react to false accusations at home* I didn't think I was going to find anything let alone this I was angry and shaking because I was coming from defending myself finally from the false accusations that I constantly get from my step grandmother. I am glad I stumbled upon this now I will let God take the lead, heal me so that I may live in peace and forgive my accusers.

    Job was an example. I have learnt that let God handle. Silence doesn't mean it is the truth. As a Christian, I won't response. Period.

    God sent me here to youtube false accusations because i know he needed me to hear this. I so needed to hear this. The false accusations have been driving me crazy. Has brought my soul down more then it was. I know Jesus knows the truth. He will defend me through this. He will help me get back up deal with me and provide for my kids and myself. The enemy is so deceiving a liar. I will stand firm to the truth. God is my defender.

      I understand what you are saying...I completely get it. I have been a member of a particular church for nearly a decade. I really have no idea why, but our pastor's wife who normally loves most people readily, has made it known to me that she dislikes me intensely. Truthfully, I have absolutely no idea why. Though I have served in several areas of ministry without incident...She doesn't really allow me to serve in areas that I love and have served well in previously in other churches. They barely give me the time of day. I have tried to forgive, to walk in love, and to honor them to the best of my ability. I have stayed because the Word is preached well, and there are other people there I love and have a great relationship with.
      I do not gossip about them and the church and keep my hurt between me and the Lord! The main reason I haven't left is because I don't know of a better chuch and dont feel a release from God to leave. (Ironically, my old church would love to have me back, and I sometimes attend meetings there. I know that's not where God wants me as my church home, however.)
      A few years ago I actually did a good thing for someone else in leadership. A simple thing...not excessive or extravagant, but what I would call being iin the right place at the time. I definitely felt led of God to do this one act. At the time, the person received it with joy. They told me it meant alot to them, and they appreciated it. They even hugged and thanked me in person a week later.
      Yet, somehow this simple act got all twisted and distorted. I did nothing that would be contrary to the scripture. Now, I have heard 1...2...3...times from the pulpit about how horrible my actions were...making fun and belittling me from the pulpit from this woman. She even coined a word to call me to make fun of me. Fortunately, most don't know it was me, because I never shared with anyone.
      Our church has grown, and in first meeting in new place, our pastor...not his wife spoke against me from the pulpit, though not saying my name. He literally called me a slanderer, a gossiper, and used by the enemy to divide. He literally said I put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. None of that is true, I can promise you that! I should say too, that I was never ever confronted, or told why they feel this way. At one point I tried to meet with them, but they ignored my requests.
      I have to say that as much as I have tried to walk in love, having this be said about me from our lead pastor, has devastated me and makes me feel worthless. I know though, that's from the enemy, and not of God. However, I honestly feel stripped of all dignity and it devastates me to my core!

    I just stumbled on this video, I have been falsely accused and despite the hurt I have always kept quiet and let go in the past. But yesterday I heard what I consider the greatest false accusation that cost me the loss of my job. My annoyance is that I put my all into the job, the accusations are FALSE and my job was taken without hearing from me nor any proofs( asides from hearsay), no investigation was done. I am upset about the loss of job based on lies, the taint to my reputation as a Christian and as a person and the fact that there was no inquest done to proof or disproof. I cannot think of praying for my false accusers, it's asking for much right now

    @hannahmiller5515 Před rokem +2

    If someone falsely accuses me, I know trying to use logic or reason will not help. They are starting with a conclusion and everything I do or say they will interpret in a way to show "proof" that they are right. People who accuse can't be helped or reasoned with. Even if they are right or partially right, coming at someone with anger and threats instead of conversation is an abusive way for them to attempt to communicate their needs, fears, and ask what you think. The best I know how to do is to ignore them except to say is there something I can help you with? To descalate the situation. And just ignore and be silent, look at them blankly. Then continuously make plans to leave whether it be a relationship a job a friend group etc. Abuse is common and normalized. But remember if people around you are demeaning, and think it's normal, there are many environments and people where this type of interaction is not normalized. Never settle for people or environments who use words to be demeaning and accusatory, instead of vulnerable, honest and communicative about fears and hopes

    "It was a mystery to me how Mother Teresa coped with all the accusations and charges that were leveled at her, especially from England and also by many German authors. She herself gave us the answer when she spoke about dealing with insults: “If someone accuses you, ask yourself first: Is he right? If he's right, go and apologize to him. If he's not right, then take that insult that you have received in both hands. Don't let it go but seize that opportunity and give it to Jesus as a sacrifice. Be glad that you have something valuable to give to Him.”
    -From Msgr. Leo Maasburg's book, "Mother Teresa of Calcutta: A Personal Portrait."

      This is the best answer I have ever heard for this problem. When you say nothing it starts tormenting you even though you have prayed for them and taken it to God. It feels better if you can find something you may have done to upset them, at least there is some kind of a reason for some of what has happened, and gives you a reason to apologize.

      Pardon me but thats abusive, you need to leave him. People who do this will never change. I lived with constant accusations like this too, for years. I wish I had left after the very first time he made the accusation. The sitation never improved. When they do not respect you and do not value you, theres no recovering from that. They have no capacity to vLue or respect you. I am sorry but this is my direct experience. I left that man and I do not regret it. I also do not miss the constant berating and accusing of things I never did.

    It’s been a long and painful road to become this way. I didn’t know what a narcissist was until after I was with one. To this day, I’m falsely accused, threatened and berated routinely because we share a child together and have to co-parent.
    My ex doesn’t know me and never will and I’ve accepted that. The only one who really truly knows me is Jesus and am absolutely blessed with knowing that.
    I pray everyday my ex sees the light and develops a relationship with Jesus, that would be the best outcome… for everyone. If not, I’ve learned to put complete trust into how Jesus handles this. Now I’m anxious free, depression free, and my children all have a better Mom because of this beautiful journey. ❤️

    Sometimes it is the Jesus people who make the false accusations. I had worked at a school run by Sisters of Mercy nuns. A cover up needed to take place so the school leaders placed a written false report in my file to transfer blame to me. At a later stage the head nun must have felt guilty that I was damaged by lies so she told a story about white lies. She did not admit to a lie or say what the story related to but it was obvious. She said that if a lie was for the overall good of the community it was a white lie. (So it was for the good of the community for me to be damaged to protect the nuns holy image) the nuns boast how Jesus came to earth to take the rap for what mankind was said to have done. But they won't take the rap for what they do but get an innocent man to take the rap. If people wished to read my true story google white lies test blog and google innuendo test blog.

    What do you do when the one who is falsely accusing you claims to be a good Christian and is your parent? It enrages me because I've spent my entire life fighting against her constant berating an attacks! I literally cannot take even one word of her falsely accusing my character anymore! She defends Wicked people when they make her feel good and seems to have absolutely no ability to discern true right from wrong. She will call someone a Christian if they've done something that makes her feel good but that person could be a flat-out heathen!

    My dil is really jealous of my grandson and my relationship. And me and my sons. And she has had false accusations against me. But my son is fearful that he won't have but a couple of weeks a month if he stands up to her with the truth. (His words) so now he is backing her. Knowing that they are lies. Again his words. So now I can't see my son my grandson and now my granddaughter. And her mother stirs the pot as well. I guess because she sees what could happen. I have stood firm in my decision to let God direct my steps and this situation. But I go through days when my heart is broken. My Christian therapist wants me to report them to CPS. But right now I can't. Because to me it would look like revenge and that's not me.
    I've also struggled with turn the other cheek vs being a doormat. When people complain about how horrible 2020 is think to myself that as long as they have love and family they will be fine. Idk. I'm heartbroken this week
