    What translation, or versions of the bible do you like to use and why?

    I like to use the NASB mostly, because it is a nice conservative translation. Like @JosephZ said, it's a good word for word translation, which is something I like. I almost always use the NKJV along side the NASB on biblegateway.com. This is just my preference.

    Psychiatric injustice and corruption

    I know some people have had bad experiences with psychiatry and therapy (I've had some bad experiences myself), but right now I'm receiving help from a psychiatrist and am taking meds and they have made a good change in my life. I think many people benefit from taking meds. Some people have a...

    My Mother Should Have Aborted Me

I'm sorry you don't have the best relationship with your family. Resenting your mom isn't going to help you. It will only hurt you as...

    Why we left the Catholic Church

    This thread would have more protection posted in the non-denominational subforum, I feel. I understand your desire to talk about this, it's only natural. But this particular subforum is probably going to end up with the thread turning into a heated argument.

    It's happening again

    I'm sorry you're struggling. Sometimes I seem to have the same problem, mental health declining when it gets dark out. I've heard this before, so it's probably not too uncommon. Can you try to distract yourself somehow from these negative feelings? Singing, drawing, watching tv or movies...

    Subs vs Dubs

    I prefer dubbed unless the quality is just really bad. I don't really like having to read a TV show or movie. Subs are even more difficult if you're trying to eat and watch at the same time, you'll probably miss stuff.
