No Longer Quivering
This is another one of those fake hypothetical letters that Doug Wilson of Blog and Mablog loves to write so that he may pontificate and use ten dollar words.The upshot is that he’s replying to the wife of an elder in the church who is alleging verbal and mental cruelty by her husband. Doug goes far enough to rubber stamp her leaving her husband, but gives her a dreary limited future if she does. He says leaving your husband does not mean you can remarry.
It’s not so much word salad as it is horse apples.
How is any of this anyone in church’s business? Earlier in the piece Doug was droning on and on about what needs to be said to church members and if you have proof enough to leave without criticism.
None of that really matters in the world. However, it does matter if you are being held in an abusive situation, be the abuse be verbal, spiritual, emotional, financial or physical. Get out. None of those people at the church demanding an answer need to be part of it.
