Walking Therein

From One *Psycho-Religious Nazi Parent* To Another....

BEWARE parents: People think they should be able to dictate how you train your children. If you notice, many of these "Christians" do not believe the very Word of God, just what they want.
Of course, as true believers, we cannot dare speak out about child-training or we are brain-washing cultists! And, they call us Pharisees....

On a related note:
    I had received a comment from a 'smart guy' (who I will not link. His blog is disgusting) who left his name and refused to disclose that he has his own blog. I searched google for his name, and nothing came up... though he did leave a telling comment(on the above Nazi blogpost) to the effect of trying to bait me when he commented on my post. Well, I found him, and well, he was just trying to trap me. Isn't that how satan is?? Deceitful, seeking whom he may devour?? That is just what this guy did: left a nice comment with a nice little question and no link.  I'm thankful God led me *not* to post the reply to his comment I typed up. God is real. We are listening.

    I left my comment (to his comments on my blog) on an unrelated post, because I didn't find myself linked on any entry on his blog. I did, however, find a reference to blogs and sites who regulate comments if they disagree with them. I don't know if he was referring to my deleting his comments or not. I did leave the one, though.  I deleted a comment from him because he was just making pointless, argumentative comments. AND, I rec'd an anon. comment around that time, too, that was just nasty.
Hey, it's my Blog and I'll delete what I want to.

    If you disagree with me and want to have a mature, real discussion as opposed to an opinionated, unrelated, argumentative one, I have left dissenting comments before. It's not unfair; it's not un-Christian or controlling; it's my blog, not a forum for whatever.

    Amanda left a comment as the "poor girl of the most insane domineering parent in the history of humanity".  HaHaHa.
    Well, I guess we'll see in time, won't we? -About how Amanda is being trained. She is an intelligent, God-fearing, beautiful girl who has her own ideals and opinions - *believe me*!! She also knows we are called to be in this world, not of it. I can't wait for her to have her own marriage and children and work with her dh to raise a God-fearing family. I know she will do a much better job of it than I have!
    So, as far as *other people*, I don't have to conform to *their* ridiculous ideas of raising self-absorbed, undisciplined, shallow children, do I?

    All of you, my friends, make this worth it. I am encouraged by your emails and comments. This really isn't a set-back... it is, rather, God working in the hearts of people who would never find my blog otherwise. That God for search engines, huh?

Be Blessed!!

This whole blog fiasco

I am grateful for Amanda's recent response to my post, which set the story straight. It was wholly inapropriate of me to be so critical and mean towards you, but I would like you to know that I had been ignorant of the whole "rebellious phase" thing. I had thought your close monitoring of Amanda was unprovoked and reasonless. Had I known there was a reason for your actions I wouldn't have said anything at all.

And both you and your daughter keep hinting at a belief that I have a kid? Where did that come from?

Also you posted several items in an obvious attempt to provoke an emotional response from your reader. For instance you pointed out that I was unmarried, which coupled with your claim that I was a parent makes me out to be a fornicator. I am not currently, nor have I ever commited that sin in the past.

You also put "educated" in quotes. I never claimed to be educated in my blog. I never bragged on my intelligence or otherwise implied that I was smarter than anyone else.

You also say I don't believe in the Word of God. This is a lie. I said mean thing about you that I am very ashamed of, however I NEVER questioned your sincerity as a Christian. I may have a different belief about the meaning of Genesis (I assume you were referring to my belief in evolution), but that does not mean I dismiss ANY of the bible, even if I happen to be misinformed, if that's what you believe my belief of evolution is.

I've rambled a little, I know and I have no right to gripe at you for being critical of me (in this situation that would be the pot caling the kettle black!), but you posted things that were false and defamatory. As such, I felt a need to correct them.

Argh, rambling again. Anyway, here's what I'm trying to say.

1.) I'm sorry for posting those mean, ignorant things.
2.) I rewrote and retitled that post to expose my shame and embrrassment and how wrong I was.
3.) When I wrote that post I didn't know the whole story.
4.) I'm glad I got you some traffic. :P
5.) You said some very inaccurate things about me, which I corrected.
6.) I posted a detailed reponse to Amanda at my blog explaining my misunderstandings of the situation.

I don't know anything else to say except that I wish the best for you and Amanda and that I'm deeply sorry for being so malevolent and immature.

Thank you for the Apology....

I am thankful he posted this - and he *did* post a thoughtful apology this evening to Amanda on his own blog.
He also changed the name of the post and deleted most of it. Shows he is not the mouthy, unloving person he first showed himself to be.... thank you.

I will say, however, that reading a little more of the main post, and perhaps some of my other posts about our children and child-training would have taken care of any questions from the git-go. Reading the following paragraph about how prayer was the key to changing her heart would have been a good start!! ( ;

I am not sure *what* he is referring to as far as the trying to defame him and say he committed adultery. There is probably another misunderstanding in there somewhere. I didn't say he had a child. I said he had no experience in child-training. I think he was referring to Amanda's comment -example - when she said - *if your daughter pulled what I did...*
I think this was an emotional thing to find out there in blogworld... he/you couldn't even comment here first to get an honest answer; I had to "find you and your post" about a very personal, heart-wrenching situation we went through, not sure if we were going to lose her to the world or if she would come through in God's Honor and Grace.
I was truly *not* trying to illicit an emotional re: from my readers. I think they could have read your post and formed their own emotional re:, actually.

In my post, I said you/he was:
#1) inexperienced (meaning he's 19, unmarried, with no child-training experience), And *that* is what I meant... unmarried, inexperienced with child-training - assumed he had no children, since I read he was 19* (see? I actually gave him the moral benefit of the doubt!!)
#2) opinionated (meaning he's 19), *which he obviously is* ( ;
#3) "educated", *because his profile states something about being a college student as well as a evolutionary theist - in addition to the fact that you stated these falsehoods like you believed you knew better than I, the twice-your-age-parent of 7 children, my oldest being 2yrs. shy of your own age!* Um, that *does* mean you thought you knew better about child-training than I did -it was the essence of your original post!
#4)hypocrite *because he made such hypocritical statements, and *was* judging my character, all the while showing lack of Christian love.

I know he stated to Amanda that he was not judging me, but, I would say giving such an opinion, accusing someone of being "crazy and controlling" says they lack in moral fiber and character... sounds like judging to me.

No biggie, really... I mean, he's 19. And, that can be a totally immature thing - like reacting in such a manner as to not read a heart-felt post and blog such things just to get readership...
or, that can be a great thing - like the apology he wrote to Amanda.. which was far more humble than the one he wrote above to me.

It shows character. It shows he does want to set a good example for the Lord, and I am going to revise my post - but, probably tomorrow!

May I suggest that if you are going to post about someone who feels strongly enough to bare their soul about something personal, that you always read the post in its entirety!! I guess *any* post you are going to make such a strong case against should be posted with as many facts as you can find! It is good reporting and will save you and others heartache and frustration.

Hopefully, with this experience the Lord has changed many hearts, and we can all continue to grow in Him and His Word. If not... that's *not* the Lord's fault!!

As always-
BE BLESSED!!
-Jacque

Ooh, for all those evil people who delete comments...Praise you!

I can't stand skimming through the cursing and inflammatory comments on some blogs where no actual argument is made. On a large blog generating hundreds of comments per post, I don't mind. But free speech means you can take it to your own blog.

And Nazi parents would turn their child over to the state for proper education, not keep them home and supervise them all day. That would have been highly suspicious in 1930's Germany.

I've worked with children that couldn't be let out of your sight. That was right in their paperwork from the state. Their are behaviors that warrant increased monitoring. Things like illegal activity, suicidal ideation and the occasional tendency to molest other children will, I think, warrant increased monitoring, no matter how free thinking you are as a parent.

And these kids in particular probably wouldn't have had these kinds of issues if they had had parents who supervised them more closely from the beginning. But the parents didn't care enough to bother with them, so there they were as wards of the state.

(a bit of a tangent off your situation...but when a child is into suspicious behaviors, even small stuff, good parents intervene before it becomes big stuff. And they end up in a group home or something).

Jacque,

I agree that you can do what you wish on your own blog. You can certainly delete any comments you want from me.

I, however, would be happy to have you reply to your comments on my blog. You know the address if you wish to comment. Feel free to invite your friends as well.

There will be another post on Biblical authority tomorrow.

Just A Note to all of "My Friends":

*Don't* bother going to WH*REChurch's blog.
He just wants you to.
His post about me is entitled, Homeschool Mom Is an Imbecile. So, I was a Nazi, now I'm an Imbecile... to each his own.
I didn't read his entire post; I skimmed it. It's inflammatory and outright sensationalistic. It's also full of filth. Just skip it; it's not worth your time!!!
I hope he gets some intelligent traffic out of it who will set him straight in his one-track thinking.

He called me a "light thinker" in another comment. HAHA.
Like I said, his post is just argumentative garbage to get all excited about and spew opinions... no biggie.

As far as deleting any more of your comments, WC... I guess it depends on what you say. This blog is not as yours is. I don't care about attracting readership at any expense, so don't bring it here, ok? And, I don't discuss personal matters in the sleazy manner you do, so have at it... on your *own* blog, not mine.
Yeah, *I'm* the "light thinker". HA.

Trying to Be A Blessing, not a curse....
Jacque
Be Blessed!

*on the other hand, I am impressed with how the "19yo Educated Guy" handled all of this... sorry, Abyssal, I like the name - it is *not* a slam... ( ;
