Lindsey, my dear sister in Christ, you are not in obedience to God right now, because you are living with your fiancee. The first thing you need to do, is not live under the same roof again with a man not related to you until you are married. Mormons believe in a God the father who is...

Dear Girl, I'm going to reply to your first post. Jesus was a friend to sinners. Sinners loved him and invited Him to their parties. The pharisees and sadducees condemned him for associating with them. So who was right? Jesus, or the religious leaders? What you do have to be careful of is...

Hah! I've been reading some of your posts, and was thinking over scrupulous. Your saying it, sort of confirmed it. AnnRobert is a dear, dear woman on these forums. You will find her at times over in the obsessive-compulsive disorders forums. She has a lot of scrupulosity, too. Maybe you...

Sweetie, when you do decide to ask Christ to come into you, you are going to something else for God. You are showing great conviction right now. I pray you will come to Him soon. Never stop asking questions, especially about what the bible says. You will stay away from error to a great...

The Life Recovery Bible uses the NLT and has loads of comments in there about how to deal life.

In addition to no longer carrying a grudge by not holding them to account, you also turn it over to God to deal with when you forgive. Forgiveness does not mean that you should make yourself vulnerable to that person again. She has to earn your trust. If she doesn't and she still acts the...

Dear Sisters cheryljo and joanna, ask your therapists what do they think is the matter with you if they haven't already and ask their recommendation for a p-doc, a psychiatrist. They will work together so long as you sign a release. You may need medicine for a short while or like me for the...

Jason, some Christians like to say that you should just depend on the Lord for healing. If the Sovereign God chooses to heal you, then that is just absolutely wonderful. But you know, He gets to choose, not us. Nutritional supplements and herbals like St. John's Wort may help you. They...

Oh boy, that is terrible. I would like to do very nasty things to those wastes of air. I won't say what, because I don't want to be banned. Johnnz is right, there should be some counseling available. Is there pastoral counseling available at your church? Did you go to the hospital at...

Brother, you will probably want to go over into the survivors of sex abuse forum. Johhnz and Criada are two people I really think highly of. I too had my abuser be my older sibling. To me he doesn't deserve to be named brother. He destroyed that right when I was ten, he and his twisted...

Hey there. How we love by Milan and Kay Yerkovich; Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend and the Life Recovery Bible have really helped me. A couple more which once I remember, I will tell you about. I don't know how your relationship with your father was, but I had to apply to God the Father to...

Okay, I've used four, three weren't worth much to me, but the fourth! I do better with someone who is directive and gives me assignments, tells me to hush when I interrupt when it was family therapy time and generally told me the truth. The oh so sympathetic, how do you feel about that folks...

What I think Johnnz means is therapy where you and someone you trust work through the assault, the feelings, and you learn coping methods and learn how to go to sleep again. Johnnz is one of the smartest guys on here, but sometimes he needs to unpack stuff for us mere mortals or others can do...

Wowee, Sarah, the healings going to really get going now. Soon you might mention it in passing and the pain won't be there and you'll help someone. Just please be very wise with heathe, and make sure that you do not enable him or pay his way through life. I say this because my daughter...

Yeah, expecting the worst is an issue for me too. I still prepare for the worst as best I can, but I also know that my Heavenly Daddy is there all the time and He watches over me. And if God is for me, who can successfully be against me? I'm slogging through Cloud and Towsend's Boundaries...

Wow, dear, I've been there. My help has come from my God, from reading lots of self help books, my wife, my counselors, from my bible, particularly the Life Recovery Bible. Definitely counseling is in order to help you talk it out and learn new ways to cope and how to spot the narcissists...

Wow flanativegirl that is a good quote. Something that is common in abused people is poor boundaries, either too permeable or too strong. Get Cloud and Townsends Boundaries book. For me it is a hard slough, because my boundaries are either too strong and hard or I'm too open. Getting them to...

Sounds like your brother is one you can rely on, even if you can't rely on your parents.

A good friend of mine told me that Monty Pyfhon didn't do much for him till the first time he was high or drunk. Then he loved it. I never did either so I guess I never will get it. I feel so lost and alone!!! Nah, not really, I find other things amusing. Ever hear Bill Engvall, especially...
