Need I go on. Parents tell their kids all kinds of retarded crap. |
I agree that these are crap, but these are not the kind of things I was talking about. My wife works with an evangelist who believes that if she even thinks something like "That guy is cute" that it is a sin and she could be punished for it and that is just the tip of the iceberg. She also has to avoid all instances of what might be construed as improper behavior such as going to lunch with a male coworker without an escort, as an example and this is an adult. In my opinion she is suffering from abuse.
