thanks for this website, as a homeschooler i fight with the visrionforum-hyperpatriarchy mindset every day, and i also unfortunately get to see the fruit that mindset bares. your site is going to be a useful tool to help me think through my positions and to help me keep my own children free from this oppression.

We were singing a chorus in church, when suddenly my 4 year old daughters face became very serious and sad. I asked her what was wrong … and choking back tears she said “i feel so sorry for God”.

What, why honey!?!

Because he is SO TIRED! As she continued to worship, I heard her sing “you are exhausted, you are exhausted, you are exhausted on high …”.

It seems to me that some who embrace the term “complementarian” are beginning to lean toward the idea that being complementarian is necessary for salvation.  The logic . . . If you aren’t complementarian (if you don’t agree with me), then you cannot be a believer.

Isn’t such narrowness one of the defining characteristics of cultism?  I’m not saying that complementarian is a cult; however, when we begin to limit who is and who isn’t our brother or sister based on whether or not they agree with us on all points of doctrine, we are walking outside of love and into a dangerous place, IMOO.
