Blackdog, I'm rather like you in that.
I don't want a Pentecostal/Charismatic/Dominionist/Fundamentalist praying for me, because I KNOW they'll substitute what
they think I need
for praying for the thing I REALLY need. I'm also a bit scared of the imprecatory (sp?) prayers. I feel like my life/our lives have been under a curse for a LONG time, at least as far back as when I walked away (and some of the problems- medical, for instance- go back to childhood).
Also, the same types might get on their high Biblical horses and refuse to pray- and that REALLY hurts. I've asked for prayers for justice FOR us for a long time - and was told by those "types" that (Quote) "
Christians don't ask for justice
". Then they'd either say "
You might get it!
" (implying that we deserve worse) OR saying "
Christians only DO justice!
"
If we got justice for even a TENTH of what we've been forced through, we'd finally achieve something of a more normal and almost un-pain-filled life.
Of course, they all live in their nice comfortable houses with their nice comfortable lives, and don't have a clue.
At the same time, I do believe in prayer. I'm just not so sure that it's heard (or that it's being blocked). Sometimes I get to feeling like the God they preach is the real God, and that God has a massive hate on for me for some reason.
I used to feel that way ALL the time. It drove my "other half" crazy- and only since discovering about the walkaway community and trying to deal with walking have I started trying to leave that "God" behind. It's not been easy.
