*This is not a goodbye thread nor any sort of threat* I can't stay here. I'm sorry, I can't.. at least not like this. Not main. It's not safe, can't you see, it's not safe. Here isn't stable enough.. I.. I should mainly be somewhere more stable. I'd love to stand, to make a stand.. but I...

A few days ago in a thread of mine, Crazy Liz made mention of a "true self": I'm not wanting to discuss or debate sin or salvation here.. but just this idea of "true self." (Quotatation marks because bolding or underlining seems inappropriate and italics will be lost in quotes) The idea of a...

"Jesus saves," "path to salvation"... from what? It seems to be a simple question to me.. but, oddly enough, one not addressed. I am sure not all of you would give the same answer, really mean the same thing.. Given this, I cannot be sure of what anyone means by saying such things, so to me the...

This is a thread for phrases you think don't make sense (and, hopefully, why.) I'm sure I know of other phrases that don't make sense, but right now I'm thinking of one in particular: a whole bunch. This meaning, of course, "a lot". I used it recently in a birthday card to my boyfriend.. "I love...

(Yes, as always, I'm rambling.) So apparently when you put someone on ignore, it takes any time they repped you off your list? That makes me feel a lot better... it was one of the things I was going to ask about... someone.. someone had repped me very unkindly, I thought.. In fact, had done so...

So the memory trouble is still going on. I'm past the frantic denial bit, into the getting really upset at least a couple times a day. There's still a lot I don't know, can't remember, or at least don't have connection to. Frankly, my religious belief is one of these. There is evidence that I...

My world was effectually obliterated, but I am still here. No, there was no great disaster which wiped away my bed... but one did seem to wipe my world from my mind such that it isn't mine anymore. I'm told it should get better.. but it's been.. five days? I think.. and there has not been...

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/news/local/church-shooting/ (list of local stories) It seems it was a hate crime (at least it's being investigated that way) against liberals and gays. Liberals are ruining the country, so the solution is to shoot them up. Given his reading, I don't think I can...

I'm sorry. I know it's a stupid question. I think I know, anyway. Which is kind of the problem. Sorry. Am I still welcome even though I often don't have a clue what's going on? Or at least don't know if I have a clue? Sorry.. it's confusing, I know. It's confusing for me, too.. I think. I'm...

...because it is a disease of the CNS and my spinal cord is unaffected. Maybe this is inappropriate here.. and I'd hope somebody'd tell me if it is, though I can't guarantee I won't do it again. Sigh. I've been having trouble for the past month or so. Like, continuous memory trouble. I...

The fewer dogmas, the fewer disputes; and the fewer disputes, the fewer misfortunes: if this is not true, I am mistaken. [...] When Bishop Alexander and Arius the priest began first to dispute in what manner the Logos proceeded from the Father, the Emperor Constantine wrote to them in the...

A baring riddle because I fear to speak directly. Very little will be direct. I may or may not choose to be direct later. Here is my home. I claimed it before it was offered me, but certainly I am welcome, so here I bare this, in riddle or no. Up the street, I another home found, perhaps, one...

I don't understand why beliefs are important. I guess it would be proper to say that I generally only think beliefs are important if they influence your behavior. (I'm an engineer at heart.) It is my hope that if a belief produces a positive result, it will be kept and if a belief produces a...

I have some toxic beliefs I wish to remove from my life, if possible. Of course, I don't know how to go about this.. so I guess I'm looking for support and for help, maybe for some other way to frame it or to explain how what I was told is wrong or how it was meant. From the thread original...

I don't have anything autism-spectrum, but because of things going wrong in my brain, I have symptoms kind autism/aspie-like. I have trouble reading people, tend to take language too literally, don't express myself socially right, sometimes sensory trouble... stuff like that. Sometimes, when...

I don't know what I believe. Or, better put, I don't know the proper labels for many of my beliefs. And.. I wonder if this is something that's important to know. It seems to me that it could be useful, at least.. I mean, people ask about beliefs.. and a lot of the time they ask in the form of...

I feel like a bit of a fool posting this at all, even more so this early.. but it's about something happening on Tuesday, May 6.. and I'm really scared. I know I've posted things here about my brain damage or at least off of that.. but here's some explanation (that I can only hope I haven't...

...why have you forsaken me?" The Psalmist wrote those words, Jesus echoed them, and I'm sure most of us have had something akin to that sentiment on our minds if not our lips at some point in time. The adjective "God-forsaken" is a not too uncommon part of vernacular, at least in the places...

Outside of the intro thing. And this is my second! lol So I made my first significant thread (on this message board) in *dun dun duuuuuun* DoH! I'm not sure if that means I'm foolish, brave, or both. (While I'll accept neither as a logically possibility, I don't think it's particularly likely...

I wonder if I might make a comparison with homosexuality and disability. As there are for homosexuality (or certain acts, whatever.. not the point), there are verses/passages in the Bible which (seem to) speak against disability. For one, only those that were healthy were allowed in the temple...
