In this post I will continue focusing on the abuse that has taken place at Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, USA, pastored by Doug Wilson.
Kimberly McCullough was a member of Christ Church. Her husband was a early Doug Wilson disciple. She was a dutiful home schooling mother who read the Bible with her children. She recalls her husband saying, "No wife of mine is going to work." and needing his permission to cut her hair. But when he started disappearing from the home for long stretches, he still demanded sex on his return. Her husband was absent so much, she was left feeling, "who is this strange man who is taking my body?" Not to submit to his wishes would be sinful, she knew from Doug Wilson's teachings.
Mrs McCullough says she was counselled "if the wife did not concede she was in sin," and believed a woman could be ex-communicated from the church for refusal to have sex with her husband. Faith was central to her. She couldn't understand why sometimes her throat would seem to close, her body suddenly gripped with panic. Her anxiety attacks went undiagnosed for years. She finally left her husband after 18 years.
P.S. in my next post I will share one final story on abuse that has taken place at Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, USA, pastored by Doug Wilson.
