The rest of these links are for other web sites that I have found helpful. I do not endorse everything you may find on these sites or even in the linked posts. I trust that you will read with your own discernment. I recommend that if you plan to visit several of these sites that you open each one in a separate tab and then read them in turn.
Finding Healing from Disillusionment by Elizabeth Wyse Cook (guest post on www.quiveringdaughters.com) -- life after working for Bill Gothard
Resolved2Worship At age 19, she married a man (ten years older) who was raised in an authoritarian home that was heavily influenced by a legalistic organization which is not named on the blog but I suspect is Gothard's ATI program. It took many years for them to establish a healthy family life due to his parents' interference. Now with several children of their own, their testimony in the "Our Love Story" series is one of God's grace and sovereignty through it all. Besides that, her photos of her children and nature are absolutely gorgeous and fun.

Two sites dedicated to addressing problems with the BabyWise and Growing Kids God's Way resources by the Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. I remember taking issue with this stuff about 15 years ago since it seemed so rigid. In the case of young babies and feeding on schedule, the program came under fire from medical professionals for causing Failure to Thrive in infants. There is a ton of info at these web sites...
Tulip Girl also has a series on the serious problems in Michael and Debi Pearl's To Train Up a Child and No Greater Joy resources.
(As you may remember, it was a Pearl "discipline" related child death that caused me to write Child Discipline or Child Abuse? last year.)

I loved the 'Patriarchy, meet Matriarchy essay.
ReplyDeleteIt was a breath of freshness you discover your blogs together, and lord-willing I'll be able to poke around quite a bit more in days to come. These writings are speaking to my less-articulate hungers and fears living in a church environment that (while not abusive) is distinctly different in world-view/emphasis from me.
It is wearying, and an exercise in maintaining sanity to tell myself the same things over and over again, so that the outside voices don't bury me by constant dripping.
It seems to be a tricky balance both to acknowledge the hunger (internal *demand* really) to be distinct and active and hear the needs of our children and "role" at home.
Peace to you.
Thanks for your comment, Amy Jane! I know how the cognitive dissonance is of bring told things that just don't seem right and having to figure it out. It's quite a process, isn't it?
