One last try.

[AshAnn]

I have anxiety and depression due trauma. I joined this forum to be able to find support, and give support to other Christians! I was so excited, signed up for the membership and got my computer fixed. Unfortunately i made my intro post (which was fine) and following that another post. By the end of the discussion I felt super judged and even mocked. So I have decided to try again in a different forum where hopefully I can be allowed to be me.

Sorry to hear of your experience. Care to elaborate on what kind of support you seek?

Hello AshAnn welcome to the forum

I am sorry that you were made to feel judged and mocked.
Sadly I have felt that way myself at times so I can understand your feelings.I can even say that I am at the point of being on the edge of leaving here. I did post quite a bit but not that often now for those reasons.
It is particularly bad as this is a Christian forum and there is no excuse for anyone to make another feel like this ever.

I hope that you find the support and fellowship you are seeking, there are some lovely people here so maybe go over the many sub forums here to get a feel of things and you can always follow people you feel you have an affinity with or that you find to be helpful.

Do remember how precious you are to God and He will never leave or forsake you.

Every one of us would do well to remember that we are still answerable to God in how we treat others.

God bless you dear one.

I'm soooo sorry. I would NEVER want to mock anyone and especially not someone with with anxiety or depresssion. I don't remember if I saw your post.

I’m so sorry you felt like that! I hope you find it better this time. Please try and remember it’s not everyone and if someone does something like that again just try and ignore them (I know it’s much easier said than done). Or hit me up with a message and I’ll try to be supportive

This can work in different ways.

People can criticize you for what is not a sin problem.

Or, it can be that we are wrong, somehow, but people can be self-righteous in how they criticize us.

But all of us need correction, somehow. But only God can do it really right > Hebrews 12:4-14.

But there have been times when God has used wrong people to criticize me for what really is wrong. And I could get upset and bent out of shape by it. But then if I prayed I could benefit from it.

But the ones who help me the most are ones who are an example of what is right . . . how to be, how to relate in love.

So, I would say Jesus wants us not to give up on people who do not know how to love us. If they do not know how to love you, be their friend by being a good example of how to love. Do not allow wrong people to have power to decide what you do.

It was a very difficult topic to discuss and I was actually being led against Gods word. And my situation was almost a joke. Thank you for the insight

It was in the marriage forum. My story was referred to as outlandish and I was told to leave my husband although I feel God has made it very clear to stay

 

[AshAnn]

Sorry to hear of your experience. Care to elaborate on what kind of support you seek?

My husband has some serious anger and substance abuse issues. God has led me to stay even though sometimes it feels unbearable. I know he’s a good man just in a dark place I pray for the day when he’s on fire for God and we can do life together again. In the previous post (removed per my ticket request) I was mocked for my belief in God and for staying in an emotionally abusive relationship. I have learned a lot in this struggle I have grown and God worked on a lot of stuff in me I needed to face and trust me there are plenty more ... but I don’t see it all has negative but I wanted to share my struggle maybe find someone else to relate I don’t know.... Christian fellowship.

It was really upsetting that when I clicked on the members that were giving me a hard time I realized they have been members for years. If they are that cruel to me I can’t imagine how many other people they have done that to over the years

I was able to have the post removed thankfully because it got really bad. Someone sarcastically said to me “good luck with that” meaning my listening to the direction God gave me in regards to my marriage and I said “thank you but I don’t need luck I have God” the person responded to me and said “good you have god so all of your problems are solved I guess you won’t be posting on here anymore” just rude

Let me share a little. I can relate to your husband regarding the anger issue but not the substance abuse issue. Although I've been a Christian for over 30 years, I had (and still do) have anger issues which I am still trying to overcome. Been married for 30 years to the same wife and have children - all grown up now. I wish I could take those years back and do it all over again but it's too late for that. I wish I knew then what I know now. Despite being a Christian with a lot of head knowledge, I lacked heart knowledge. My actions were not Christ like as I would blame may family for things - never myself. I took for granted that I was already saved so I didn't pay much attention to my actual walk with God. The "aha moment" came for me when I realized that if I keep going down the broad road that leads to destruction, I would be eternally lost.

I don't know your husband's background/situation but at some point he has to come to the end of himself and desire to change for himself as you probably know that no one can force that upon him. My wife stated the same thing that you wrote. She said that despite the fears and hardships in our marriage, she heard God tell her to stay in the marriage. My wife hears from God - much better than me. She also sought out counsel from others but no one took a personal interest in her plight. That was very discouraging for her and for me as well when I would share my problem with other Christians.

You would think that the body of Christ would be a safe place to get help and encouragement from others but often times that is not the case. I can't tell you what to do but will keep you and your husband in prayer. Thank you for sharing.

There are people who are hostile to Christians who come here to hassle us.
But this is not a new situation as Paul was one of the worst of those.
When you encounter hostile people of any sort, you can remember
that Saul was that way before he "Became" Paul. So these crazy
nut cases could be the next Paul. When one annoys you, you might
suggest to them they are on the way to becoming saints. Or you
can just remind yourself and add them to your ignore list.

I usually take people off my ignore list after a few weeks
and find they are no longer on the forum.
Under your name you can add to:
People You Ignore


Acts 8:3
But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

Acts 9:21
All who heard him were amazed and asked, "Isn't this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?"

Acts 22:4
I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Acts 22:5
as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

Acts 26:4
Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.

Sometimes I put people on ignore. Not so much anymore though. If someone is repeatedly rude I might.

I am sorry that you were treated so harshly. I am so glad that you have come here and are ready to share with others. You sounds like a delight and so kind! I will be praying for you!
