The server at p223.ezboard.com is taking too long to respond.
Most posters to this "Pentecostal Survivors" forum blame every single failing or perceived failing of their parents on the fact that their parents were "P/C" as they call it. If the parent spanked them for anything at all, this is seen as proof that "P/C" engenders child abuse. Sigh!
The forum moderator's first reaction - after deleting "NMC"'s posts - was to blame the mass murder as being a reaction to "religious fanatacism" ---
The question on everyone�s mind, as it is on ours, is �How could this have happened?� What kind of religious fanaticism, and the response to it, drives this sort of behavior? How many more are out there just waiting to explode?
How convenient to be able to claim for yourself the mantle of victimhood to cover all your shortcomings! Never for the rest of your life will you have to ever take the blame for anything you do wrong! Because, you see, none of it is your fault! Were your parents drunks? Druggies? Then blame it all on them!
But what if they weren't in any of those categories? Well, then, we'll just keep looking for new "victim classes" wherever we might find them. How about: Were your parents Catholics? Pentecostals? Baptists? Wiccans? Yes?? That's great! There's a forum out there just for you, where you can find other people who grew up in the same USDA Certified Victim Class as you did, where you can whine and moan all day about 100% of your problems being blamable on whatever religion or organization your parents belonged to.
Victims! We're all victims! Nothing we ever do is our fault!
CAVEAT: I'm not saying that your parents cannot do anything to screw up your life while you're a kid. No. What I'm saying is that, depending on your parents' failings, you will be "dealt a hand" in life, so to speak - a hand that you'll have to play from. And some of us will start off with a great hand and others with a poor one. But where we go from there is up to us. Yes some kids who got a much better head start than the rest of us will have an easier time to advance to the next level. But those who start off far behind don't have to just sit there and never move off of square one, just because that's where their parents dumped them and left them. Think of the parable of the Talents.
Yeah, he was ranting specifically about YWAM in this one.
