Awful. Child abuse.

IDK how anyone of any faith can read that & think “Well, this sounds like a good idea”.

Right?! That whole messiah thing went right to his head. As for the puppy thing? Healthy puppies need to be socialized!!!!

I couldn’t get through the entire thing, it truly made me ill. I did scroll down to the last line of the letter and it made me throw up in my mouth a little. Ugh, just ugh!!

I’m sorry. I probably should have given people a warning. It’s freakin’ awful.

People like that are why I (and apparently ALOT of others) have stopped participating in organized religion.

I’m the same way. Raised catholic, left for various reasons. Still struggle with the awful guilt they push. It’s tough to get over. I really kinda thought I was the only one with a guilt/fear of hell phobia complex even though I should know better. When you push that stuff that heavily at that young age.... It’s not…

It’s incredibly abusive. In SO many ways too. It’s isolating the child while also using “thought crime” techniques. It’s giving her a skewed perspective of what a good well rounded person needs in their life. Not to mention the fact that it encourages submissive obedient faith through fear, subservience, isolation,…

That poor child. As a recovering Catholic myself, I’ve never been able to rid myself of the guilt, and that was instilled through church and catechism, not at home. I fear for the child’s future.

That’s mental illness, not Catholicism.

I think you could take the leap and call it legit emotional abuse. It is an effort to isolate the child, and an effort to sculpt the child into something unnatural (akin to gay therapy- not same, but both want to push an unhealthy reality - denying basic human impulses and needs) by using guilt and extreme pressure. I…

Wow, this Jesus sounds like an abusive, controlling husband.

I’d say it’s abuse abuse with a spiritual chaser.

Like you said: it’s full-on abuse. I hope she can escape someday. :/

I don’t think the “Jesus” of that letter approves of therapy. She needs to talk to “him” & ONLY “him”. She belongs to “him” after all. In all seriousness shit like that does REAL damage, id gladly help that girl. That mother is pants- crappingly -then -paint -the walls -with -it insane.

I thought he sounded like a checklist abusive partner

I feel like we should crowdsource that little girl’s future therapy bills.

Uhh...this sounds a bit like how I’d imagine a slave owner to think...

Yeah surely the parents got the invites? Children are frequently assholes but for all the parents to not have their children attend is inexcusable.

Why would you let your child be this cruel and turn down this poor child’s party? WHY ARE PEOPLE BAGS OF DICKS!?
