I'm not sure why Sudsy posted what he did, since what that person is addressing has almost nothing to do with Matthew Milioni's talks.
It struck me as wildly off-topic, but look at what has unfolded. Esp Outsider’s responses above, which touch on several points not familiar to me. It’s the forum’s biggest conundrum (for me).
It’s such a shame that abuses are now more recognized than healthy headship order;
people commonly know about abuses and loudly point to them. Typically not able to even recognize the words, “headship order.”
The fallen world.
It’s well to know, that’s just how sin works, it doesn’t stay contained, it casts a wide net harming innocents with impunity.
Sin harms individuals, families, churches, communities, it’s not innocuous.
Women and children need their husbands+fathers. Churches and communities need their male leaders.
The pendulum has swung too far away, losses are real.
Women+children are valuable, priceless!
Abuse/sin should not be allowed to ruin God’s design. That’s always a mistake.
i admit, it’s a sensitive subject for me, trying to navigate life and what’s left of my family without husband-father, grandfathers, uncles, it’s unpleasant, how they are missed! How sad i am to know very well what my living family is missing without them.
i’m not sure any man can quite imagine what life becomes for their families after they’re gone. i mean, i think we all imagine things will continue pretty much as they are without us. we can imagine some things, maybe? but, the full extent? i don’t think so.
So. Appreciate one another for the time you have. Help one another thrive. Not ruthlessly dominate, whether male or female.
Not covet what another has. Thrive.
