Only What is Helpful for Building Others Up

Dear friends;

Please forgive me for posting those last two articles about the trial…they are totally defiling and don’t build anybody up.

I can see I still have some anger surfacing at the atrocity of it all…but that’s my issue and I don’t need to drag everyone down with me. I apologize for any of you who’ve been exposed to the disgusting recounting of the trial. I’ve deleted them from this blog and my Facebook page.

If anyone wants to keep up with the trial, you can do so at http://www.courierherald.com, but the only thing I’ll be posting after this is the final verdict.

Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

The Trial Has Begun

Better Late Than Never

I’ve spent the better part of 2012 telling my story of surviving 12 years of horrific abuse in a spiritually destructive organization called Sound Doctrine, the current owners of WinePress Publishing.

Many people have cheered me on as I’ve gained the courage to tell my story of spiritual abuse. I felt a deep concern for the many Christian authors who needed to be warned about the true colors of the new ownership of WinePress. At the same time, I’ve also felt compelled to encourage those who have all but lost their faith as a result of their own abuse.

However, my family has always voiced their concern about my public processing of the pain I endured and the ups and downs of my journey of healing.

Because of my commitment to healing, not only for myself, but for my relationships with my children, I’ve prayerfully made the decision to close access to previous posts and refrain from making further comments on my blog.

Truth be told, I should have done this long time ago. He whispered “in quietness and trust is your strength” but I would have none of it. (Isaiah 30:15)

While I remain “not afraid to tell my story”, I also make the choice to focus my time on my close personal relationships, rather than remaining in the comfortable safety zone of online (arm’s length) relationships.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you’d like to communicate with me, feel free to email me at athenadean@gmail.com, as the comment option has been disabled.
