I'm a 46 yr old female..... but I kinda understand your situation. My ex husband was abusive and an adulterer. I had to leave for safety's sake. We got divorced officially in 2000. He took EVERYTHING I had.....business, homes, furniture, pets, even my clothes.... and hid all assets in...

Florence...... :angel: you're in my prayers.......... and your husband....

I am sorry for your loss. I have found that people say the most stupid things BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. :sigh: Even well-meaning Christians will say things.....and it ends up hurting you even more. I compare to rubbing salt or alcohol into an open wound. I had two...

Hi there... Yes, I had to go to court also. My prayers are with you. My ex-husband abused me. He tried to run me over with his car and he even killed my precious little dog in a fit of rage. It was humiliating to have to go to the hospital and have the police take photos of the...

Hi Trish.... I totally understand. When I came here I thought I had finally found a place to heal after some horrible crud..... but it has been so painful here. My pastor and my counselor have both dubbed this place "UN-Christian Forums" and have told me it is toxic to my health...

I would ask Him for a new dictionary! If the bible is to be taken literally, as God's Word, then I definitely need a new dictionary.... i.e. Ps 91 No harm shall come near you. (harm touches us all) God is no respector of persons. (then why do some have so much - talent, beauty...

Have any of you who have suffered from a trauma/abuse had any health problems? I suffered through horrible trauma 6 years ago...and it lasted for about 2 1/2 years.... living with adrenaline rush 24/7... the walking on eggshells, waiting for the next shoe to drop.... through counseling and...

All I know is that after 10 years of serving Him, He allowed me the awesome priviledge of being used by Him....for about 6 years... I would pray for people at church, and in our homeless ministry.... WOWOW.... when I would pray, miracles happened! Tumors fell off....broken limbs were...

The last church I went to had a lot of old-fashioned pentecostal mentalities on dress! A lot of the women wore dresses to the ankle, no short-sleeves, buns on their heads, and NEVER pants, etc. I usually wear business attire (woman's dress, suit or pantsuit). One day I got a call from...

I am always surprised when people say the New Testament does not command us to tithe: Matthew 23:23 (Jesus speaking) Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and...

What better way to honor the Lord than by having your body be as healthy as it can be!! I believe it is not a selfish fast, but an honoring one :)

We have a homeless ministry - we go out on the streets two nights a week, taking food, soup, coffee, clothes, blankets, toiletries, bibles, etc. We tell EVERYONE about it! We don't do it to brag, but to expose the desperate need..... to inform people how they can help. If we didn't do...

Our pastor preached at a funeral for the wife of a member of our church. She was 28 years old, married with 5 kids. She had been a drug addict. For awhile, she was sober, but turned back to drugs with a vengeance. She also turned to bi-sexuality, stealing, etc. In some lucid moments she...

But WHY... what causes one to "only be made stronger" by abuse or lack of love, and others to recoil and never be strong? I know some who had horrible abuse or trauma happen, and they just seemed to get through it and survive gloriously -- yet others never quite knew how to 'get over it'...

When you get an answer, mrstace, please share it with me! Everyone says that we have to believe and receive that God loves us, even if no one else ever does. For me it is hard to believe and receive love from a God who allows us not to receive the love one so needs as a child. If one...

mrstace.. I was always taught (in my Catholic upbringing, and subsequently in my pentecostal discipling): You do the right thing, because it's the right thing to do, whether you feel like it or not. And then, the feelings will come. Haven't always gotten to the "then the feelings will...

Putting one foot in front of the other..... trying hard to get back to walking with the Lord..... KNOWING that I once walked with Him. KNOWING that He once talked with me. KNOWING that He would tell me how to live each day. Knowing that once I knew it, and now it is gone.... just...

How very very sad. My counselor and my firend have told me this should be called "Un-Christian Forums" and that I should get out from all the arrogance found here.
