8w7. Loves: truth and justice. Hates: abuse of power in all forms. Not afraid.

No one in a cult thinks they’re in one

Favorite #HarryPotter character: Neville Longbottom. In the last book he's described this way:

"Unarmed and unprotected, standing in the no-man's land between the survivors and the death-eaters."

And I think there aren't enough people like that in the world.

RZIM CEO Sarah Davis told employees this morning that RZIM "cannot and should not continue to operate as an organization in its present form, nor do we think we can simply rename." Will become a grant-making organization. Layoffs will begin tomorrow.

Jesus would NEVER have someone sign an NDA.

NDAs don’t belong in church culture. I’m so tired of people being silenced by money and abusive power. #churchtoo

"If evidence is presented, they will seek to have it invalidated or claim that it is false, fake, or a product of vague conspiracies, but most certainly not true."

[Joe Navarro @navarrotells]

When the narcissist fails, expect lies to increase & to be repeated exponentially. They will, even in light of factual evidence to the contrary, lie more profusely and adamantly. Lies are and always will be the number one tool of the malignant #narcissist. https://t.co/fd9y3MaCm9

Protecting souls is ALWAYS far more important than protecting any of our or our institutions' reputations. Period.

Whenever someone says, “That might be *your* experience with a mega church but my experience was so great!”
I think, “Yeah, mine was great to, until we were exposed to the inner circle and couldn’t sit idly by while the vulnerable were abused or mistreated.”

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

That person you keep thinking, “I should call them.” You should. Do it. Pass it on.

[Katie Trout @KatieSTrout]

“True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the pain, the hurt, the truth... It’s a risky undertaking, but in the end it’s worthwhile, b/c in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing.” #churchtoo

@Azuregris Thank you! It's the enneagram 😄

@AintTeeMay @michellelegro It’s a pseudonym. You did literally zero digging.

Christianity does not look like praying and singing and giving money while ignoring the screams, unspeakable suffering, filth, and death of others. Christianity is not calling others *them*—somehow unlike us, not human, deserving of their suffering.

[Sarah Stankorb @sarahstankorb]

I started this story last fall for @GENmag after reading @angela_denker's Red State Christians. So much has changed over these months in our country, but it's offered a window into many women's faith and political thinking. https://t.co/WnC0CwDOxj

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

What if we started asking folks as small talk, "How have you been sleeping? and, "Do you have a favorite rest memory?," instead of the "What do you do for a living?" question that truly tells you nothing about the person. I'm here for normalizing talking about how much we rest.

[Hillary L McBride @hillarylmcbride]

The human mind is amazing. One of the most miraculous human feats we can accomplish is the great length our mind can go to, to defend against information that makes us uncomfortable. Seeing it this way has stopped me from combusting in the face of some shocking denial this week.

I’m gonna save me, and you’re gonna save you, but we’re gonna do it side by side.
