The Venting Thread

It was something that was making me angry for a couple of days and I needed to get it out of my system.

I'll have to think about what you said. Maybe I can do a Gab account. I think Twitter would be more "safe" on pointing out her false teachings, but I don't think it's a good idea for me to invest in pro-censorship social media places.

Sometimes anger is a precursor to burdens. A topic stirs us up or brings us pain and we want to do something or believe it should stop. You'd have to seek the Lord's input and spend time in prayer to determine if that's the right approach.

There's two ways to broach it. You can debunk false teachings or design a series of lessons on difficult subjects that warrant controversy or a bit of both. You'll have greater latitude on Twitter but there's more mudslinging too. Are you up for that?

The Lord lays different things on our hearts and you need to know your target going in. Who does He want you to minister to or who are you trying to reach? That will determine your approach. If unbelievers are the flock you'll speak differently than you would to Christians. That gives you something to go on in your contemplation.

Don't allow the devil to draw you into senseless battles. His provocateurs are plentiful and meant to distract. You have to be calculating in this space and know what topics to address and what to ignore. We're not the only voice. This is a wonderful time to discover what the Lord has in mind. Good luck on your meditations.

I just wanted to vent out something that had made me angry.

False teaching is something that makes me angry. And I don't think that's wrong. False teaching is a sin.

True that. It’s okay to vent. It is a vent thread after all. False teachings are never good which has always been a big problem. And with the internet there are false teaching galore. Not everyone that see’s false teachings wants to open another platform for rebuttal. People that put themselves out there as teachers, experts, or influencers know that not everyone is going to find them their cup of tea. So reading public content or videos and calling out things you question or disagree should not be an issue.

Does anyone else feel like their job is so useless and unfulfilling that you have to look for meaning and fulfillment in other ways?

No but I have had a few jobs where I felt that way. You have to find your niche.

I used to like my job and my employer. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake by switching departments.

I've been trying to fill the void by getting involved in Christian-related things. I feel like I'm making a difference with my contributions.

I'm sorry you feel that way. What would you like to do if you could?

I'd like to do work with Linux. But when I do job searches, employers want people with much more advanced computer skills than what I have.

Well that sounds like a spiritually healthy way to handle it at this point.

Check out VolunteerMatch. That's a good way to gain experience and additions to your resume. Teaching is another option. There may be opportunities to work with newbies or career changers that could be an option and position you well.

I've been trying to find actual matzah instead of the unleavened rye crackers I've used in the past. No luck.

I think there are some where I live by. I think some Muslim stores here also sell kosher type foods. Have you considered looking into them?

I feel so bored of life. Life feels very unsatisfactory.
