Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, but a friend of mine is in a contest to win quilting supplies. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help her out by voting for her? It only takes like ten seconds, and all you have to do is "like" the quilt shop page on Facebook, and then...

I just want to let you know that things CAN change. I have Asperger's, and I used to feel so out of place in church; I couldn't understand or connect. And the loud noises always caused me to shut down. But I've been determined to overcome these things and change. I've gone through a year of...

One thing you can do is try to shift your interests. This can take time and a lot of effort, but it is possible. As someone with Asperger's, there will generally be a small number of concentrated interests. If you can intentionally diminish your time (and your focus) with some of those...

Well, I really don't have any coping skills that I can think of. My emotions usually just stay stuck in my mind, which can get pretty stressful and overwhelming when there are multiple emotions or an extreme emotion. I did buy something called a "spinner ring" though, and it seems to help a...

I'm looking for some Biblical advice (include Scripture references if possible) for how to view people through God's eyes, or how to view people as He does. Essentially, I want to view people as children of God, and more specifically, I want to view Christians as my brothers and sisters in...

I have Asperger's, and one of the things I struggle with the most is expressing emotions. It just doesn't come naturally, doesn't make sense to me, and I don't know how to do it. It feels uncomfortable if I try to imitate the way NT's express emotions. Thus my emotions remain simply in my brain...

I can identify with you completely, as I also have Asperger's Syndrome, and I have dealt with all of the issues you described. People make so many assumptions and judgments about us. I've had people accuse me of using Asperger's as an excuse, and I've had people tell me I'm CHOOSING not to do...

I think the bottom three just proved that the votes don't matter at all. I honestly am now convinced that the producers decide who will stay or go. Did you notice, when Ryan asked Steven Tyler what he thinks about the bottom three, he said "We're gonna use the save tonight." This was before Ryan...

I would be okay with Colton winning, not because of his appearance (which I couldn't care less about), but because he is talented and he is a good role model for kids and teens. I don't have much of a preference anymore, because my favorite was already eliminated, but based on judges' feedback...

I think Phillip or Jessica will probably win. Not that I want either of them to, but that's probably how it will be. The producers kinda seem to be getting ticked off at Colton's expression of his faith, and that also may bias some voters. While the tweens may still like him, the housewives and...

I missed the results show, but I just caught it on Youtube, and I'm really tired of the wrong people going home. The producers have made it clear who they want to progress; the past three who have gone home (Jeremy, Shannon, and Erika) haven't gotten as much airtime as the rest of the...

Once I put it all down on paper, I realized something that should have been painfully obvious. Every single thought that's entered my mind to convince me NOT to go back to the new church has been an accusatory thought, either accusing me of having absurd wrong motives, or assuming the people at...

This is interesting. I've actually felt uneasy for the past 8+ months about being at the church I am currently at. It's almost like I'm only staying for the sake of nostalgia; I've been there for two years, and I don't want to leave. Two pastors (one was a former pastor of mine, the other was...

I thought Colton had the best performance last night. Erika is always good, but for some reason she doesn't seem to get as much screen time or attention as the others, so I'm not sure how much longer she'll last. --

Thank you all for the advice thus far. Neither of my options are conflicting with Scripture, which makes it more difficult to determine what is truth. Basically the situation is that I am trying to determine whether I should stay where I am, or move an hour away and begin regularly attending a...

My question is fairly simple, but I suspect it may have a complex answer. I'm trying to learn how to tell whether something is God saying "no," or Satan attempting to discourage me to keep me from God's will. How can I tell the difference? --

That's what I'm beginning to dislike about this show. I've followed it for several years, but this may be my last year watching if they don't change some things. The reason they allow unlimited votes is simple: money. They make money off of each vote they get. I read somewhere that AT&T makes...

Hollie's performance last night sounded very professional, with the exception of her final note. I like Erika, but for some reason she doesn't have a very large fan base, as she's consistently ranking among the contestants with the lowest votes. Jessica is a good singer, but i think the show...

I honestly think they planned it for weeks. Why would a show that makes hundreds of millions of dollars not spend $49 to get a background check on a contestant to ensure that they were clear? It doesn't make sense. The producers want more girls to progress, as they have been plagued by...

I find the above quoted statement interesting. I was recently told that if I did not go to at least every other community service project my church does, I would be forbidden from playing in the church band for a full month (I've played in the band for the past two years there). These "service...
