pleasinggod

by Millipede The next couple of years were what I would call the “golden years” of Patriarchy. By this I mean that we were living the Patriarchal dream, with the husband “leading” and providing and the wife keeping the home and being submissive. It was the apex of our journey; we were finally living the [...]

Who Was That Masked Man? Part 7

June 9, 2012 By Suzanne Calulu 7 Comments

by Calulu After the incident with the pregnant daughter of a friend we had another reprieve from Tom and Tina. We’d see them at church but they’d stopped coming to the bible study group. I’d heard that they were both going through this other ministry’s counseling. The other ministry sounded sort of like Scientology in [...]

Vyckie Garrison started No Longer Quivering to tell the story of her “escape” from the Quiverfull movement.

Over time, NLQ has developed into a valuable resource of information regarding the deceptions and dangers of the Quiverfull philosophy and lifestyle. Several more former QF adherents are now contributing their stories to NLQ and our collective voice makes these Quiverfull warnings impossible to dismiss or ignore.

NLQ is a gathering place for women escaping and recovering from spiritual abuse.
