:( There should definitely be laws about not turning off peoples' heat during certain months. And government funds provided to back that up.

Hi everyone, I figured there may be some other people on this particular board who share some of my struggles, so I figured I'd share. I became a Christian when I was about 15 (I'm 25 now). My family never went to church (well, we did go to Presbyterian church when I was very young, but my mom...

^_^ I'm going to post this on my facebook. I have some right wing friends who will cry blasphemy and pray for my immortal soul.

Okay, thanks for the input :) I'm somewhat involved in an 'emergent cohort' (just a meeting of emergent-minded people, but I hope that a house church starts soon), so I'm def. into emergent village things :)

Exactly! Many of the people that have bombed clinics could have very well killed unborn babies (maybe some already have, I don't know).

To be honest, I feel that I 'suffer' from AD(H)D. I don't find it offensive. I like who I am in general, but I would change my can't-focus-can't-be-organized-can't-be-on-time-constantly-scattered tendencies in a heartbeat. Do you think 'struggle' would be more appropriate?

^_^ Agreed. I think it's silly to even think that the fact that someone "looks punk" (btw- having piercings/tattoos does not make one 'punk') means that they are non-Christians, or Christians in need of reform or to be "cleaned up", or something. Some of the most amazing Christians I've met...

Hi all, Is there a specific place for people interested in the emergent movement? The search function isn't working for me for some reason. Thanks :)

Hi everyone :wave: Good to see fellow dems here :)

It might creep me out a little. But I would also put on my skeptical psychology cap and think of the reasons that she thought of my me other than the Spirits leading, lol. I once had a lady that I babysat for walk out of her living room into the kitchen where I was. She looked rather...

I often feel more comfortable with males than females. First, flirty banter is fun (lol, just bein' honest), but I'm also a "I say what's on my mind" kinda person, and guys seem more receptive to that sometimes.

:hug: I understand. Not about the 'friend converting' part, but about feeling jealous of people who seem so sure of and enthusiastic about their faith. Most days I'm glad that I just don't swallow whatever I'm told, but other days I envy my friends that seem sooooo sure about stuff.

:hug: I'm not overweight but I have been in the past and I know how difficult it can be :hug: Despite not being overweight, I really should work out more, seriously. I have to walk to the third floor for my Spanish class, and I have to stop at the 2nd floor stairwell and take a few breaths...

I just mentioned this in another thread so I figured I'd post about it. There's a series of books by Gary Chapman called "The Five Love Languages" (one for spouses, one for kids, etc.). 'Love languages' are ways that we best receive love. The five are: Quality Time Acts of Service Receiving...

Have you ever read "The Five Love Languages"? I freakin' love that book. I don't think that you can really generalize male or female about those lists. They also sort of confuse me (such as, you couldn't really have much affection without togetherness). So I don't think I'm much help, lol.

I was gonna suggest something, but I don't wanna start a debate, so I'm gonna PM you on facebook instead, lol.

^_^ I'm so totally quoting that the next time my friends bring this up.

:thumbsup: Following God's way definitely doesn't mean sitting back and doing nothing. And when God's people are dropping the ball(there is both a lack of good Christian counseling, and lots of Christian counselors who are NOT equipped to deal with serious problems), sometimes those dang...

It bothers me to see references to "repenting" of self-injury or that cutting "hurts Jesus". No matter if you believe those things or not, saying things like that to a person who's psychologically fragile can be absolutely devastating. Trust me. God loves me and, as such, doesn't want me...
