Congratulations, Deebs. You are doing important work for the Kingdom of God. Keep standing up for the victims of spiritual abuse.

This blog has helped me discover so many things. Dozens of times, I’ve heard of a subject here for the first time and then learned so much from studying it further. 😀

Happy Birthday! Thanks for all you’ve done. I first read here over 2 years ago. It was such a relief to see that maybe I wasn’t so crazy after all to think that the church we were in was to put it “kindly” very unhealthy. This blog along with Survivor set us on a path to leave the church we were members of and we are now on a path of healing. May God continue to bless this blog as you continue to reveal truth.

Deebs, Happy Birthday!
From the point when I followed Eagle over here from iMonk 5 or so years ago, I have read almost every post you’ve posted. I greatly appreciate what you guys do. I know it is hard work, mentally and emotionally. Thank you. You do make a difference. You have helped keep my faith alive. I look forward to meeting you guys someday. 🙂

Congratulations, happy blog-a-versary, and totally rock on!

And thanks for the immense resource you’ve created, Dee and Deb, for helping us process our experiences and understand issues both alrge and small on the landscape of spiritual abuse.

TWW is the first place I check in the morning and the last before I retire in the evening. Deb, Dee, and the Guy Behind the Curtain are so appreciated. Thanks for all you do to provide a safe place for a wide variety of commenters and especially for victims of abuse.

Happy Birthday!

Well done! Thank you for your hard work. I’ve learned so much, have shared your posts with others, and was able to recognize early the signs of what was happening in my church. Such a great blog..life-changing.

I remember when you folks first started, your blog has been a blessing to me. Happy blog birthday.

Happiest of birthdays to you! Many happy returns! Now I’m conflicted as for you to keep going means all this rubbish in the christian world is continuing…erm, you get the gist. Big hugs to you ladies.

Congratulations from ‘down-under’. Hebrews 4:13 says: ‘Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account’. You are working for God to uncover what is hidden. May God richly bless both of you.

Nkosi sikelel’ iWartburg Watch! God bless TWW. Greetings from South Africa.

@ K.D.:
Happy Birthday!! Thanks for maintaining a well mannered forum. God bless.

Thanks for your presence, wisdom, and committment to what is true. Having been forcibly removed from two major religious systems (1 neocalvinist, 1 parachurch), I love being with the rabble here (rabble meant in the most complimentary way!).

Happy Birthday/Anniversary! I started reading here last year and while I rarely post, I do check in every day to see what’s up. Keep up the good work.

Woof Woof.

Thanks for all of your hard work over the years. You have certainly opened my eyes to people and organizations that I have not been familiar with. And, you have helped create a community that cares for each other. I raise my mug of coffee to toast your success and to many more years of swift fingers and thoughtful writing.

Keep up the good work.

Well done and Hippo Birdy Two Ewes, TWW and Deebs!

I’ve been reading for at least five if those years. I’m rarely leave a comment, almost every posting has been relevant, well researched and healing. The discussion is challenging. I no longer worry about having the “right” stance – since healing from spiritual and emotional abuse. Instead, I can rest in some mysteries. I am softer on myself and more graceful to others. Thanks for the healing ride.

Congratulations! I appreciate all the work that goes into a blog like this. Great job!

You two are mighty warriors! Thank you and may your tribe increase. Exponentially.
