I am not responsible for his addictions nor do I have the power to bring him back from them. Maybe I misunderstood you, but it sounds as if you think I can do something for his addictions and if so it is clear to me that you know nothing of addiction It is pretty hard to say away from...

He has tried NRT. He has shared with me that he just doesn't want to quit smoking and I can't make him. He is acting the same as when he was addicted to other substances. I set up a means for him to smoke out of his own money. We each receive what we call mad money and ALL of his goes to...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.

No. I have seen people treat other's like garbage their whole long lives and never had it come around. Maybe because they are so busy taking, they never get taken.

That is not true at all. I shared my displeasure of the rude members and that it might be an idea to pm the ones that are not. I also shared about the "few" members that are manipulative etc. At no time did I say all members. I do not have to be happy with all members and do have a...

Yes Satan is trying. Things have been quite terrible. I still don't smoke and have not intention to. It has been five days now. Alan Carr and prayer really did help so I do not miss it at all. He is smoking again and has quit twice since, behaved quite poorly both times and I let him know...

Or the few people that are as I have described can just leave or be aided in that direction. It appears that might have just been the case anyways. :)

Actually the few people that are insistent on shoving their pathetic, judgmental, manipulative, narrow minded views on others claim they are Christians. The Christian only ethics board isn't safe either sadly enough or any Christian only area on this site.

I am starting to learn this open forum is the last place to obtain any advice regarding the word of god. I have started going to the pastors at my church and what they tell me makes sense, they show me scripturally and interpret those scriptures in a way that is logical. There are also...

We are all sinners, we all have faults and so do you. One of yours appears to be believing that the words you have used here do not lead to abusive behavior.

All you have to do is go back and see all the posts quoting scripture, then read the manipulative ways you explain it. It really isn't that hard.

You are saying that my family was not saved because my mother did not have enough faith are you not? That is a false accusation of my mother. She had plenty of faith. My family was not saved because my father was an abusive pedophile that did not want to be saved. He was controlled by Satan...

That Satanic minister was the one that told my mom to stay with my dad. Had she left three years earlier I would have only had to endure the regular beatings, not the times he raped me. That satanic minister was the one spouting all the same things you are. Exactly the same things you are...

You make no sense and don't even realize it. When my dad was busy raping and beating me you say that was happening because my mom didn't believe enough? And if she did believe enough my whole household would have been saved? Are you saying that I was raped for three years and beaten for...

Social skills wasn't the subject so I didn't add that in, but I completely agree with you. I see children that have not been taught boundaries in a social setting and are completely self involved. More involved than the average two to five year old is already. Basic skills are no longer the...

I wasn't talking about divorce for frivolous reasons. I don't believe I have lumped everyone into one big boat. I am a Christian, but I am am also realistic and logical. I am speaking of those Christians that are neither one. There are those that take scripture about adultery literally...

Oh sorry I missed that one somehow. What exactly was the point of putting up this follow up post?

My spouse quit smoking two days ago, as did I. We reconciled in February and I did not smoke when we reconciled. The day we saw each other again I smoked and have been ever since. I hate it. I hate the smell, taste and feeling of being a smoker. The reason I still do though is because I know...

Oh you are so right, you have no idea how much. My life is wonderful now. I was 13 when my mom finally left and 15 when she divorced. I am over 40 now and went through more than a decade of psychologist aid. Forgiveness really isn't a problem for me. My mother and father were both abused...

Thanks for your kind words. It isn't really amazing to me that I survived because I was never alone. I was being carried the whole time. :) I agree that rape is adultery. I also feel that the abuse we endured even before the rapes was also grounds for divorce. Oh that's not what I...
