I don't know where to start but lately I feel really depressed and i am wondering if i can talk to someone and if get some advice from someone out there.....lately all of the Conspiracy vids and this world and Christians vids are taking a toll on me and the view of this world and i want to talk about something to get it out of my chest. I know this might sound like i'm an "attention harlot" I really need someone to talk to someone. also i don't want to get you down though. God Bless you all and thank you.

Hi, Samuel. We here do not normally counsel people one-on-one, but instead invite all who can offer help in any way to respond to an open request for help. With that in mind, I'd say two things right away: 1. Thanks for contacting CF; I'm sure that a number of readers here will respond. It sometimes take a couple of days, though, for a good sampling of people to get onto your message and reply. 2. If you were to be more specific about the ideas, conspiracies, etc. you might get replies that are more focused; but if you're simply weighed down by a barrage of bad news or disturbing developments, I know that people will be willing to aim their comments in that direction instead.

We'll try.
Hope it helps.
lately all of the Conspiracy vids and this world and Christians vids are taking a toll on me and the view of this world and i want to talk about something to get it out of my chest.
That's quite normal i.m.o.
Those subjects and the truth of it is absolutely depressing and disheartening.
I don't know which channels you have been watching, but a lot of it is backed by evidence, and frankly, after my give or take 8 years of truth-seeking i'm still shocked by the wickedness of the 'powers that be' and the secretive elite who totally fool the 'sheeple'.
So, what can i say?
Yes, it is depressing...
And there's nothing we can do about it, it isn't even our fight.
God will take care of it, but not yet...
I know this might sound like i'm an "attention harlot" I really need someone to talk to. also i don't want to get you down though. God Bless you all and thank you.
Meh, iḿ used to being down to be honest...
Iḿ not gonna stick my head in the sand because it's depressing.
...hmmmm, maybe sometimes...
You can PM me if you like, or continue here.

ately all of the Conspiracy vids

I'm a 9/11 truther, and I was watching a lot of those vids... but God showed me you can't be into those videos as a Christian. Here is why:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. - Philippians 4:8

A conspiracy, even if it is true and brought to the light, like one of the old CIA conspiracies that is verified to have happened... even if it is accepted and proven, we can't dwell on those conspiracies. Nor can we be offended at the way the world runs. Our world is corrupt, it is run poorly, and people who are greedy and desire power for themselves, manage our world. They accept bribes, and they make backroom deals to keep things corrupt.

Yet, we don't think of such things because while it is factual evil that occurs, Christians aren't to be wrapped up in offense at the evil of the world.

Really, it's not surprising that the world at large behaves evil. This is what the Bible teaches. So we should not be surprised when what the Bible teaches is what we see in the world. So the evil leaders? You pray for God to slap them upside the head and shake them out of their dark behavior.

Plenty of factual things are not pure or lovely things, and we're to never think upon them. Evil exists, because people dwell upon evil in their thinking. If the whole world followed that verse perfectly, there would be no corruption or deceit... so we have to practice what we preach, and not think that way ourselves.

I agree with everything Razare said, except this. Pray that the Lord will work his love into their hearts. (Luke 6:27-28, Romans 12:14, 1 Corinthians 4:12, 1 Timothy 2:1-4)

Haha, that's exactly what I mean, but I just word it funny.

Paul had an earthquake in prison, that's the sort of shaking I was talking about. That sort of shaking will open all the prison doors keeping someone in bondage, and set them free. It's supernatural. I actually met a Christian who was saved in that manner directly by God, through a shaking.

I think you can, to be able to expose lies which mislead people.
It opened my eyes back then.
Or maybe iḿ not sure what you mean by being 'into' those subjects.

Look up and think of heavenly things. Jesus has promised us a whole lot more than what we see on this earth- he will make everything new.

Also sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to raise your spirits. I've always liked 'what a friend we have in Jesus' its a great comforting song. There's many others, I don't know your situation, but focus on Jesus not the world..and yes you can talk to Him about anything..its called prayer. I'm not assuming that you do this already but really spend time with Him in prayer. He's in heaven interceding for you and doesn't mind that you chat to Him.

Or maybe iḿ not sure what you mean by being 'into' those subjects.

By "into" I meant meditating on those subjects in my thinking, and then also being offended at what was done. Then also, being offended the Christians I know don't mention or talk about it.

I agree about exposing dark deeds, and I think I have seen one Christian properly do so according to the word concerning 9/11. He made a documentary about it, but you could tell he was at peace on the subject, and while it had ruled his life in the past, it looks like he was able to put it behind him.

One of the reasons I can't touch it is I believe erroneously people should be logical. It's a bad habit of mine, so when they are not logical, because some manner of deduction goes outside what society permits them to believe, it irks me.

Then also, at the end of the day, promoting facts of the world is inferior to promoting the truth of God's word. And all time spent spreading the "truth of 9/11" is time wasted compared to spreading the truth of Christ. Most stuff online oversteps the boundaries of attainable truth in the subject matter and likewise goes into deceit and slander, because it accuses without it being sufficiently substantiated concerning a given issue... this is never of God.

However, that guy I mentioned managed to work in a Bible verse at the end of his subject and encourage his viewers to research it on their own how that verse applied... so if you're going to do it, do it that way, where Christ is involved as a solution to the darkness of the world.

Do you have a link to that?
But maybe i've already seen it.
When i started seeking truth about the world and the purpose of life, i started with JFK, then 9/11 and then 'the elite'.
I ended up on Christian channels and this is how i found Truth.
I was just following the evidence, and i prayed to the to me unknown God to please find something.
I found the Bible is the written Word of God, and eventually dismissed evolution (in both the physical and the spiritual sense).
But there were many hard nuts to crack (cognitive dissonance) along the way, but also growth in the Faith.
One of the reasons I can't touch it is I believe erroneously people should be logical. It's a bad habit of mine, so when they are not logical, because some manner of deduction goes outside what society permits them to believe, it irks me.
Me too.
I can (could and would) get very angry about that, but it's how it is...
Then also, at the end of the day, promoting facts of the world is inferior to promoting the truth of God's word. And all time spent spreading the "truth of 9/11" is time wasted compared to spreading the truth of Christ.
I do think it's both necessary.
Because people need reasons to both turn from the world and turn towards Christ.
Most stuff online oversteps the boundaries of attainable truth in the subject matter and likewise goes into deceit and slander, because it accuses without it being sufficiently substantiated concerning a given issue... this is never of God.
Indeed, there's a lot of crap out there too.
Even by so called Christians (Mark Dice, the Vigilant Christian and more...)

Discernment is a necessity.
The Spirit of Truth, and the will to follow where the evidence leads to.
Most people seek comfort, not truth per se.
However, that guy I mentioned managed to work in a Bible verse at the end of his subject and encourage his viewers to research it on their own how that verse applied... so if you're going to do it, do it that way, where Christ is involved as a solution to the darkness of the world.
Amen.

Prayer is a stronger defense. Pray in the Lords name that he may give you joy in your life and help you realize how much he loves and cares for you.
