If WE (the PRCA) are truly going to repent of the sins we have committed as a denomination, that includes going to all we have sinned against and repenting to them. Personally as well as publicly. Hw, I truly believe that if there was a clear biblical way for you to have done this already AND BE HEARD, you would have done it. I hope the interview accomplishes this. You are basically the poster child (being the most public and horrific example) for needing a public apology. If the PRCA does not respond in true repentance, if the consistory of the church you belonged to does not respond this way.... I honestly dont know how to end that sentance. My journey was horrific, but there are many who suffered and still suffer right now as much if not worse. That's what leaves me unable to sleep at night. It's what brought me right back into it. My life was really good when I found my way here. It was peaceful and joyful and now it's joyful and filled with busy chaos. But I'm doing what I MUST do. I tried to reach them. Tried to get them to engage. They literally say NOTHING!! All I got was some secret messages from people not wanting anyone to know they spoke with me and telling me I was wicked, vengeance minded, and needed to be quiet. That doesn't work on me anymore. I am not theirs to control. This is me, walking my faith and listening to what I know is my God. He is not letting me walk away from this. Trust me, if this was just about me, I would never pay this price. It's more than worth it though. Your support is beautiful to me!!

Calling out evil is not revenge, it’s what we are called to do. Thank you. Trust me when I say I dearly wish I didn't HAVE to do this! Whether they know it or not, there are costs to me to do so, but I'm doing it willingly and fully supported by my beautiful husband.

I know there are many like you. This is so hard and it's only going to get harder. This is so very true and something I NEED people to know. I am fully aware of what I'm facing. It hasn't been a cake walk up to this point and I just fired over their bow. It is a war I'm entering and I will get battered and hurt in the process, but I am so fully convinced and believe that I'm fighting for the right side. I'm fighting for what is right and good. This battle will answer every question I have, especially this one. Is there truly any hope for change in the PRC or RPC. (They are the same at the end of the day) How they respond will show me their true heart. Their recent sermons show clearly the battle plans they have. Destroy and bad mouth all of us outside their walls. Talk about us as evil sinners sent by Satan. Hammer home the knowledge that the LEADERS are the only source of info they are to go to. People being told to remove information from their personal FB pages. It's frightening how hard core they are growing and the ugliness coming from their mouths. They themselves laid out clearly in a special edition SB how an abuser must fix things. I'm right here and I've always been willing to talk. I have some expectations. All they need to do is come to the table. That's it. Open communication, transparency, 3rd party investigation, and for me, what I want as "compensation" for the wrongs done to me. Dialog would have avoided all of it and they decided my next moves if this goes nowhere, I'm still not done. Not until I've helped those who need us!

Definitely not. Absolutely not. The RVO news story. Both the article and the video. I've seen what she's talking about, too. I vouch.

Quite certain THAT will get you some attention from the church.

Fairly sure another person posted on this site about people coming to them to remove their Facebook posts. I don't remember who but it was a couple days ago.
