    My recent struggle with gender

    Rising Sun, I don't think you should feel ashamed of what you've shared here. I think there's a lot of ambiguity in how people feel about their gender roles, and that is one of the core reasons why there has been such confusion in the last fifteen years. People feel conflicted, and the enemy...

    My recent struggle with gender

    There's nothing wrong with seeking Internet advice. I agree that the best advice comes from people who know you personally, particularly over a long period of time. But I seek Internet advice as a SUPPLEMENT to the advice I seek from people who I know can advise me effectively, based on their...

    Hard to reconcile with God allowing me to be chronically ill and having to depend on narcissistic abusive parents

    Hi, it sounds like you are going through an incredibly difficult time. I related to some of the things you posted, especially about being financially dependent on your parents, resenting them and God because of it, and wondering if God really cares about you. I have seen or heard about...

    ugh scrupulosity

    Problems with OCD cannot be answered from a "spiritual only" point of view. There are mental issues going on and some mental health professional needs to provide input because you can spiritualize anything and give biblical counsel, but a large portion of the problem has not been addressed if...

    Eye Contact

    Has anyone ever thought about how much eye contact is appropriate to sustain with other people, particularly people of the opposite gender? I'm starting to attract some attention from members of the opposite gender, and I'm finding that too much eye contact with them is making me weak inside. I...

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    I don't like Israel negotiating and partnering with Hamas to do all of this, but Israeli society will have a permanent soul wound until all of the hostages are released. I am sure Israel's leadership does not want to continue to the second phase of the agreement to release all the remaining...

    Real or fake news about Hamas?

    No, it happened in the context of a brainwashed population and a "civilization" which thinks it's ok to murder people to satiate their grievances.

    Voices and anxiety

    That's really a blessing that you're positive despite the voices. I dealt with delusions for years and I think not knowing if it's God or the devil speaking to you is probably the biggest challenge one could face in the Christian life. Satan thrives on deception and if he can masquerade as God...

    What has God been teaching you recently?

    I agree with the part about not being so hard on myself. I beat myself up for years thinking I was in a deficit and that being my own taskmaster would drive me to greater heights. It did, but it's not worth it, and furthermore, it's not sustainable to treat yourself in a less than kind way...

    Healing for brain

    Hi, I read the first sentence and I had to laugh because I know that feeling all too well. I pretended to be "neurotypical" for five years living in a major city, and I got burned out. When I came back home, my dad scolded me as though I was a six year-old-child, even though I am 38. It was a...

    US to Israel: If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone

    I would prefer leadership, which means laying your cards on the table and be willing to suffer anything in order to do what is right.

    US to Israel: If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone

    Sorry but this is a dumb answer that misses the point. There is a way to disagree with a friend without making them look like a jerk internationally just to boost your own re-election prospects. You can have private phone calls and not say things publicly like have been said making it look like...

    US to Israel: If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone

    If Israel does not attack Iran, I believe Iran will goad Israel in that direction. Iran ultimately wants the destruction of Israel and if possible, they want to be the ones to make it happen. They are actually spoiling for this fight I believe, but only if they can be around to see the end of it...

    US to Israel: If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone

    Iran's government is so crazy and no one wants to deal with them. Unfortunately every day they are not dealt with, they become worse. Eventually someone will have to risk annihilation by confronting them. They are a spoiled child that has never once been disciplined and think they can get away...

    US to Israel: If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone

    Yeah, I get that point of view. But it could also be that Iran is so drunk with its feeling of power after shooting at Israel that its long-held genocidal ambitions towards Israel are becoming more real to them, thus putting them in some kind of psychological pitch where their fantasies actually...
