If you pray, God will know her name...

Praying and some advice; I had a friend years ago, highly intelligent but kept going back to abuse even though I gave her many books (that she read) on the subject.

What finally got her to quit was a photograph of her bruises she kept in her purse. Whenever she thought about going back to abuse in any form she would look at it.

So any symbol of the abuse would work for your friend as well, something they can keep with them and use to remind themselves what they are getting away from. It's a big struggle and is not dependent on "how smart they are."

I didn’t think you could even smile at a woman these days much less lay hands.

My friend did go back for a while, but she did finally quit subjecting herself to abuse. The abuser will not stop trying to hurt her and her daughter. Sometimes wish my parents did not raise me to be moral and Christian because then I’d feel free to wreck the jerk. Would feel good. But my parents did, hence the prayer request. Figure God can handle it better than I could.

Done.

And that she, along with the one who is doing the abusing, will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, if that has not happened already.

The Holy Ghost is the only antidote for that abuser (or abusers).

ok - praying for JC that God will protect her from more abuse and will give her insight and discernment and strength for what lies ahead.

I wish the law officers would put the abuser in jail but that might be dangerous to try to arrange.

“I didn’t think you could even smile at a woman these days much less lay hands.”

You are correct. I work for a Company that just forced me to sit through a four hour “training” taught by an EEO industry consultant. He spent most of those four hours threatening us with termination if we do any of the “wrong” things. One case he referred to was a new Female employee, whose male coworkers decided to meet after work for a few beers. They considered inviting her, but feared she might be offended by the offer, so in the interest of behaving “properly” did not. She found out the next day that she was EXCLUDED from the event, and filed charges. Still don’t fully understand the “message” this EEO consultant was conveying to us, but it was all thoroughly immersed in repeated warnings to us that if anyone feels offended by our actions, we better be ready to look for another job. And this occurred in a very liberal East Coast City.

Don’t know what to tell you. Did my time in the work force when America was still America. These are all deliberately created problems and I never saw them. Hard for me to believe that there aren’t still a lot of semi-ok women out there. But it is like a mine field...got to be careful.

” Did my time in the work force when America was still America.”

Exactly. You wouldn’t recognize it today. Today more resembles a former Soviet Block country than America.
