Jane,
You said that you are not angry. And then you said that you are angry. I did not originally put you on moderation but only held back one post. I think that anyone reading your comment that did come through after the one I held back, can easily see that you are angry. But the things that you are angry about are not what this blog is about or what this post is about. If my saying that I held back an angry post demonized you, then you are very easily offended.

This blog is not about getting back at men for their offenses. The men who come here are not rapists or murderers. They are almost always godly men who may or may not agree with the issue of women in ministry. Just because men don’t agree with us doesn’t mean that they are evil misogysts. You may not like submission but it is something that Christians are all to do for each other and so we do not demonize submission just because it has been abused. And the cross is very precious to us.

I ask you please to withhold your anger. If you can communicate without using inappropriate speech, then you are welcome to be heard. But if you are only wanting to vent anger, I won’t allow it through and I will put you on moderation. The purpose of this blog is to discuss issues with gentleness and respect so that we have an opportunity to bring about change. If we can help you make a change in your own situation, that would be great. But please be respectful and not post your anger here.

Thanks!
