Touchy, touchy.
You’re in their house, it’s hands on blessing in their view.
It’s not assault, not sexual abuse, just smile and either report or go home.
That’s my take, and I’m not a holy roller. Nor am I a “reporter” seeking offense.
Sexual abuse - especially of children - messes them up. She’s messed up. The woman praying over her did nothing wrong, but the reaction, at least the reflexive, is understandable. The reflexive is something that happens, but carrying it with her is at least partially her choice.
No, she had a ptsd episode triggered by similar behavior to past sexual assault suffered as a child.
This is important information for other christians to know when praying for assault victims. Always ask permission before laying hands on someone.
Frankly, I am not a hugger and I prefer to be asked. I also super hate shaking hands. What a dirty germ laden ritual. How do I know if they washed their hands after using the restroom.
