I AM A PENCIL

Just as we trust in the Lord in our submission to Him and willingly offer it, a wife who is submissive to her husband is offering a great spiritual gift and doing a great service for both herself and her husband. In Christianity, submission is holy. Even Christ, the Son of God, was submissive to the Lord:

7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. (Hebrews 5:7)

When God says submit, He means submit completely, because He has a higher purpose in mind for us. When Hagar ran away from Sarah, she was sent back by a divine messenger: Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, "You must go back to your mistress and submit to her mistreatment." (Genesis 16:9) What appears to outsiders to be an "abusive" situation may in fact have a much different meaning; in this case, Hagar needed to return to fulfill her service to the house of Abraham.

The usual method of most churches has been to hold their people by virtue of inbred church-going religious habits, or by holy threats, or by lecture, and musical, or festive entertainments. Dogmatic church members succumb to the influence of parental religious habits, or to a sense of religious fear, or festive religious entertainments, or to a repetition of the same grand theoretical sermons over and over again. Most intellectual people are straying out of the church fold because they do not find any progressive interest there. Huge sums of money are tied up in church edifices just to impress people with the grandeur of architecture, but that is all—scarcely anything more is accomplished. Architectural appeal of comfortable church pews, or sermons of spiritual organs, or big advertising campaigns for drawing large crowds to church festivities, are not producing permanent results, for people do not get any new knowledge in the church, which can sufficiently awaken their interest and spontaneously bring them there. What is the use of making the church members believe in untested dogmas which the minister does not know to be true.

The method of most BDSM communities are held together by their pledges and earn it by trust and swearing:
