I mentioned psychological abuse not violence.
If you are now claiming that the abuse you described was somehow 'for a good purpose', then your denial perhaps runs deep.

In a way conducive with the copy/pasted description of religious cultish abuse which you posting in a thread here as Fetchmyjunk some moths ago and which you attributed to yourself and used as a pitiful excuse for your posting style in here.

So what is this 'bad purpose' that I was psychologically being used for?

It seems more like you suspect that there was a bad purpose but you don't know that.
Originally posted by dj2beckerI have claimed that you were psychologically abused by people who exerted power over you and were responsible for your welfare when you were young and your own account confirms it, your attempted wordplay and sophistry notwithstanding.
So you are claiming that I was used for a bad purpose yet you don't know what that supposed bad purpose was? 🙄

Originally posted by dj2beckerDo you recognise there are many forms of abuse; including (not exclusively) physical, sexual, psychological and financial?
I still don't see any mention of violence or use for a bad purpose. That is how abuse is defined in the dictionary. You must be using the FMF dictionary.
Do you discount financial and psychological as forms of abuse, because there is no dictionary definition of violence?!

Originally posted by FMFPutting the word 'psychological' before the word 'abuse' does not change the definition of 'abuse'. "Abuse' still means 'used for a bad purpose' so in essence you are claiming that I was psychologically used for a bad purpose. Which is something you neither know nor can establish.
You mean like alcohol being used for a bad purpose or morphine being used for a bad purpose, as in alcohol abuse and drug abuse, "abuse" in that sense?
No, I mean psychological abuse.

Originally posted by dj2beckerYes it does! Abuse comes in many forms, and not always overtly violent. (Though always controlling). Your own words, below, clearly describe an environment of abuse:

"I was not allowed to talk to the opposite sex, watch tv, listen to non Christian music etc, and believed that I needed to confess every bad thought that I had to a counsellor in the church who would pray with me for God to forgive me. Women in our church were not allowed to wear trousers or jewelry, and you weren't allowed to be romantically involved with the person you wanted to marry. You had to marry someone from the same church. You had to 'hear from God' who the person was that you were going to marry and you weren't even allowed to talk to them before you got married."

Originally posted by dj2becker'Psychological abuse (also referred to as psychological violence, emotional abuse, or mental abuse) is a form of abuse, characterized by a person subjecting, or exposing, another person to behavior that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder.[1][2][3] Such abuse is often associated with situations of power imbalance, such as abusive relationships, bullying, gaslighting, and abuse in the workplace."
Define 'psychological abuse' or whichever abuse you think I suffered. Use any dictionary you want.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_abuse (Your kind of site).
You can add to that list 'belonging to a cult.'
