So, the past 2 weeks I could feel anxiety building up, tension rising, etc. It's not the safe sort of anxiety, or slight nervousness, but the kind where you think you're doing to burst. I think my depression aids in creating anxiety. The depression is caused by things at home, and myself...

Thank You for your advice everyone, I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. It really made me realize that I can give guidance and advice (and possibly medication), but ultimately, I am not 100% responsible for how the patient uses what I advise. Thanks again for the suppost Amanda

Hi, I really haven't visited these forums before, so hello :wave: So, here it goes. I have been depressed before, and I know when people think about teenagers and depression, they automatically assume they don't know what depression is, however, I definitely know and have experienced what...

I hope your appt. goes well, I am praying for you! I personally feel like you should try to get help in any way you can before going to a psychiatrist, but I do not know your history so I can't say for sure. It seems like that's what you're doing and you're trying your best, and for that, I'm...

You can't not eat, and just drink water. Diabetes runs in my family. I have not been diagnosed, but I've fasted before and have become shaky, light-headed, etc., and it's really dangerous, and definitely not good for your body. If you're not comfortable with fasting food, fast other indulgences...

No, I don't mean it in that way (sorry if that was a bad example.) I don't think women being pastors has to do with human rights - that's worldly. I'm just saying that in the same way I think it's ridiculuous to say "African Americans can't sit in the front of the bus," I think along the same...

I have definitely struggled with humility problems inside, at some point. I'm not a youth pastor (I'm youth, though.) But I've always been more of a leader-type, and more mature than the typical of my age. When I was asked to serve on my church consistory, I think that went to my head a bit. I...

I think the whole "woman cannot be pastors" idea is pretty much bogus. I don't think God calls people based on why lies below their waste, at least in this day and age. Even if it was the other way, I still would think the same. It doesn't matter what gender you are, that surely has nothing to...

When looking at the 1 Tim verse, Paul used Adam and Eve as an example to what point he is trying to make. Adam and Eve had a husband - wife type of relationship, not a pastor - congregation or "shepard - flock" relationship. So I don't think Paul was talking about roles in the church, but roles...

Uhhh .. I don't think it's wrong to hang around and fellowship and chat with the people in your church. There's nothing wrong with talking. Why do you feel the need to rush out immediately? That makes no sense, unless you just don't like to stick around, but it's not like you're doing a bad...

I think it's a good idea that you've found somewhere you're looking into for the future. I think it would be good to talk to your mom and let who know why you felt like you needed to leave your church. If you kindly explain to her that it's not helping your faith to be in that church, I think...

Hi, :wave: welcome to CF! I think you will like it here, there are many, genuinely nice people here. I'm sorry you're in this situation, it seems like many people have been in this situation at some point. It seems like it's really breaking your heart that you're having these cruel...

Wow 0_____0 This sure has caused lots of controversy. I'm seeing the not-so-christian side of a lot of Christians. :(

Shouldn't we be using this as an opportunity to talk to non-Christians, and perhaps help them to decide to become Christians?

I have a hard time with that too, and I always feel guilty! It's just something that interests me, learning about what other people believe, etc. Although I don't do it to much anymore. I don't see any problem with it, just be sure of your faith. We all have struggles during our relationship...

Oh boy. Hm. I was in your stepsons position about a year or two ago. I am 13 now, and I was like .. 11-12 when I got into Wicca. Believe me, I wasn't near as wise then as I am now. I've grown so much spiritually and faithfully in this past year, it's hard for me to even think about that part of...

Hi. :wave:I'm not really a new Christian, but rather a teen trying to grow more faithfully in her walk with Christ. I just thought that, perhaps if I made a topic here, it might help some of the new Christians, and I'm not sure where'd I put this, so if the thread needs to be moved, please do...

Most of us know nothing about these two churches, nor have experienced being in them. Even if we had, we couldn't make the decision for you -- picking a church is a rather personal thing, you know, where you feel most comfortable. All I can say is -- go with your heart, and whichever one you...
