the women of Titus2MenAndWomen.org have brought together our hours of research.

In this section we are looking at signs of POSSIBLE abuse. No one sign
is carved in stone as a sure sign of abuse. If you observe a combination of
some of these signs in your child or a child you know, please pray for spiritual
discernment, use Godly discretion and take the necessary action.
John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that
I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (Holy Spirit) will
not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
