    Jealousy - the greatest root of all despair (in Love)

    I was away from this forum for some time to clear my mind and ideas. I found my way back to the heart of the woman I love, after overcoming all negative thinking and focusing on my love for her. Long story... On my way, I found out one of the true reasons why we had been growing apart...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    Well, as Christians we are supposed to hope, love and have faith unconditionally right? The last two posts seemed totally unChristian (or at least very Earthly) to me in that sense. I believe in forgiveness, giving and receiving it. Loving our neighbors (also moral) as ourselves. The "whole...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    OK, so this is more or less how I structured the letter... Dear friend, 1. why I write to him, apologise first 2. how and why I became a real Christian and started following the Bible, especially explaining why I became "morally uptight" or a extremist (mainly because before that I was...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    Yeah... when I think of God... she is in my mind. Her, a future where we are married, have a lovely daughter and are embraced most of the time. We are in a church, and this guy I accused is our friend. We love each other like only God could show that kind of love... Yeah, that's what God shows...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    Does any of you even listen to me? - I want friendship, real friendship, true deep caring friendship. The one we had. - My growth in beliefs, getting closer to Christianity and my prayers to God convince me that I should strive at more than friendship with her. Still, also now, right now. I...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    I am truly suffering a lot. In the sense that I have strong depression and anxiety. I changed to become a very good and positive person thanks to my friendship with her and she is also the person who convinced me to return to my Christian roots. But now that I feel her coldness I am so...

    How to apologize without undermining my values

    As some of you know, I badmouthed a guy who had some sort of unconventional open relationship with the girl I consider my best friend, to whom I suggested that we could develop our friendship into love because she was quite attracted to me at the beginning, too. I badmouthed him because I saw...

    Urgend help please. Real pain. Misleading prayers?

    Hey... did a post I just wrote here get removed? Why? Anyway a last question (especially to AlexT): In the current situation, what would you consider the highest expression of desiring love?

    Urgend help please. Real pain. Misleading prayers?

    I've been away for a while because I wanted to "switch off my mind" from all this thinking. Thanks for all your advice. She talks to me when I insist. When I tell her some important news (like a job promotion) she answers "Congratulations!" and doesn't say anything else. THAT is really...

    Urgend help please. Real pain. Misleading prayers?

    Dear friends, I have written extensively about this, and I have always trusted my faith but in these days it is faltering because I'm not sure whether what I'm doing is the right thing, whether what I am doing is guided by my prayers, and thus I'm no more sure how to behave. My main struggle...

    Why is it bad to criticize others?

    Wrong :( EnVida Isaac, I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I sent you a PM with the details of my personal story and you confused it with your personal situation. I say with all honesty it has absolutely nothing to do with you, and at the moment I am clueless as to what's...

    Why is it bad to criticize others?

    Sorry my PC crashed while I was writing to you. You should find a message among the PM since I wrote some private stuff, but with regards to how I care about this issue you could search my previous threads and see - how concerned I was about having white lied to her - how concerned I was about...

    Why is it bad to criticize others?

    I kind of understand your logic. Especially that not everything that appears some way actually is that way. Anyway, my main point was not the intention of causing gossip, but whether we have a right to point out others' mistakes, and whether we are entitled to base our actions and behavior...

    Why is it bad to criticize others?

    I agree that all are children of God, yet I think that people do mistakes. Now, regardless of whether they are our brothers, sisters or strangers, isn't pointing out their mistake (and perhaps expressing our anger about it) a first step in showing them the right way, in helping them know the...

    Why is it bad to criticize others?

    I and my friends seem to disagree on a major issue and it is: Being straightforward and honest about one's opinions, even if it means saying bad things about other people who aren't present. Basically, I am never scared to say openly what I think:"That guy is ungodly" or "I really think he is...

    Confronting/convincing/converting friends with different beliefs

    Well, but all Christianity started through conversion and, I guess, also involved reasoning, explaining others why follow Christian values, etc.?

    Confronting/convincing/converting friends with different beliefs

    In a society that promotes the freedom and the right to have any beliefs, how do you confront or convince someone dear to you [that is, not some stranger whose business you don't need to mind,] if their beliefs lead them astray from your own values? Or what I am asking is whether it is right...

    Charisma, popularity... a hurdle to true love?

    Same for me with politics and public relations. I wasn't directly involved with PUA (more a national variant of it, as I'm not from an English-speaking country) but there was a lot there. I think the main difference between my national stuff and the Anglo-PUA is that the latter really puts a lot...

    Charisma, popularity... a hurdle to true love?

    FallenPaladin, we clearly have some theological differences, since we interpret the Bible differently :) My current approach is less "Machiavellic", and puts more trust in hope, integrity and transparency/honesty of humanity. I trust in them the same way I used to put trust in NLP, i.e. I see...

    The new and the old. Grow up without growing apart?

    A new job, a new hobby, new friends, traveling. Maybe after having moved to a new home, or starting college, or graduating from it. Or after a great book that changed the way we look at life! Now isn't it wonderful when such things come and make us really feel like we are alive, lively and...
