I want to go on an introspective journey, and discover more about myself and my relationship with God. What exactly does fasting do, as a pathway to such things?

I feel a little better right now than I did at my worst yesterday, but I lost my job for not showing up and now I have no idea how I will manage to pay for housing or anything. It's a hard day for breathing, and I'm afraid to go outside and face the world. Tried to link my thread from...

I might check myself into the hospital for a few days, though I am very poor, have no job or insurance, and am in a lot of debt. It's starting to get scary.

It seems right now that no one does love me. I realize I may be wrong, and for this reason will continue living, but they have done nothing to show their love. Quite the opposite, really. Even my boyfriend seems not to care; it's as though all I am to him is sex.

I don't even have the words to explain, anymore. I won't kill myself, because I am afraid of hurting someone that may love me. Afraid of hurting someone that has disowned me. I will continue to exist until I die of natural causes, but asking me to do anything other than existing is too much...

I'm sorry, but I've lost my faith. It was wonderful of everyone here to work so hard sharing passages from the Bible, sharing links to people who have had similar struggles, and sharing personal stories, but I just cannot do this anymore. Seeking out this website was sort of my last attempt...

There's really no reason to be rude. You can ignore my reasoned arguments and utilize ad hominem attacks if you want, but it doesn't make what I said any less true.

This is a good thing; those therapies can cause a lot of harm, especially in younger people. It's still legal for people 18 and older, if they decide they want it. This law is about protecting our youth. This is a travesty, though I don't understand it. How is this even legal? It seems as...

Again, thank you all. You have shared some very inspiring Bible verses, and stories of other people in my position (some of you even are in similar situations). I'm still really struggling with my faith. My family members that study and share the Bible for a living have very different...

I am going to vote for the Green Party, though I am not holding my breath waiting for her to win. In this instance, Obama truly is the lesser of two evils. Romney would start more wars, like with Iran.

A vote for Romney is a vote for war, and Jesus would never have wanted that.

Thank you, everyone. I'm sure what to say, but I was expecting pretty much the opposite of this :) I feel welcomed here, much more than I do at most places irl.

I realize this thread is a bit dated, but it's only on the second page and I found it to be very interesting. In all honesty, it made me sad to read. I'm a transsexual woman, and I always use women's changing rooms, and bathrooms. It's not just Macy's, it's everywhere I go. I don't look into...

Hi, everyone, I'm new here. What I have to say might be a little strange, so please keep in mind that it's not my intention to offend anyone. I'm kind of in a bad place right now, and I don't really know where to turn for advice or answers. Hope this is the right forum; it seemed the most...
