I do better when not exposed to negative influences. Lately I've had to even turn off politics, which I love, because it's such a downer. If you find it's affecting you, then yes! Turn it off. Find new YouTubers. I follow some fun religious ones. Some end of times ones. Amazing Prophecies is one.

There is a lot of words here, but I will respond with: I know what it means to be a Christian. Daily I question what that means to me as opposed to yesterday. I don't think I implied I don't accept anything in the Bible, or anything of God. Quite the opposite. I also think it's important - and...

This is my takeaway from my very first post here: 1) Wow, the Bible is viewed very differently, depending on who is reading it 2) All of you have been very helpful 3) This topic warrants some further outside reading on my own

That is tough but don't lose hope. I was a woman who really feared giving up control due to a bad father. First I gave it away at the beginning of our marriage, but my husband didn't know how to lead, so we've been a hot mess in a strange power struggle. We've been married 10 years (not sure...

I agree with this, I just think people who haven't experienced the unbiblical way that people live have a difficult time understanding those who want to live, or get to, a biblical life. They are like, "hey, follow the plan in the Bible." Sure...when the crazy people in my crazy life also follow...

My reply got all jumbled up, I'm still learning how to use this site. You seem in one breath to be saying something isn't biblical, but in another saying things have to be taken in cultural context. Were the laws of Leviticus not Divinely inspired then? I'm not saying we still have to follow...

Men and women may be made for these roles, but it often does not happen. I'm not just speaking about my marriage. My father was no protector, my husband's father left at a young age (mine too), my mother is far from nurturing. These roles *sound* great, in theory. I understand the design of...

Friendly hugs for the marriage problems. We went to non-Christian counseling for years and it was always (both men and women counselors) attacking my husband, telling him he's "wrong" and feelings, feelings, feelings. Ugh. Wasn't helpful. Don't get me wrong, when you're battling with your...

Hi Joe! I was born Catholic and immediately baptized, and raised in a Christian home. That is what I mean by always a Christian. In the Catholic church, not much in depth Bible reading is done in church, and *my personal experience* (please don't take offense any other Catholics on here, but I...

I love reading about science. In particular I find scientists who believe in God fascinating, because their profession is stacked against them. What you are reading is a scientific, human article. I have so many questions about science when I get to Heaven...ultimately I accept that I am human...

If you're going to buy a gun, you need to be prepared to use it. Are you? Could you take a life, hurt someone? I have a gun. Bought it a few years ago. Went to the shooting range and hated shooting it. My husband has a few, has a concealed carry permit, but never carries. Think about buying...

Sorry, my reply was cut short before. Anyway, I don't like to push diets because everyone is different. But considering the issue of fat you have with the medicine, the keto diet should work well. It's low carb, less than 20 grams, moderate protein and high fat. A little lower fat if you're...

I haven't read all the responses yet, but considering the issue is with fat and your medication, I urge you to check out the keto diet. The keto reddit board has great information. I can actually ONLY lose weight on a high fat diet. I have a weird body. Not weird looking, I just have...

Something you said really struck me here...about the man turning control over to the woman. My husband does this 95% of the time. I'm not a feminist by any means, but he is very, very passive and doesn't want to deal with "stuff". It is alot of the reasons we argue - I want him to take some...

That was very good information, thank you!

No kick in the pants from me! Lol

I love all of these meaningful responses. Thank you everyone, I've read them all. I do want to state my husband is not abusive, atleast not physically. I could say emotionally, but have I been any better in my reactions to his treatment of me? Not really. Oddly enough after our last...

Belief isn't the problem. I fully believe everything that was written.

This really spoke to me. Really, truly. I appreciate all of you so much. I am going to watch the suggested videos and books. It is a difficult time, but I can feel the love here, and I thank you for it!!! A few of you said some things that really spoke to me. I'm still learning how to ise this...

I want to thank everyone for your replies! You have given me much to think about. I need to bow out of this conversation because I'm currently struggling with this and I felt like this was a good place to come and set my head right. It looks like I'm maybe giving others more reasons not to...
