  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I should probably testify of what I've overcome acting in Gods way. When I was 24 I came down with severe panic attacks. I felt dark inside and empty, and felt like I was going to hell. I worried and would have panic attacks that I would die and be sent to hell.

I tried medications and doctors and they helped some but I would still have the attacks and depression.

Then when I was 27 I felt called into the Lord. So I started going to church. I began and then slowly over the course of about 1-3 years the depression and panic attacks slowly went away. I began feeling filled with the Holy Spirit and that replaced the darkness and emptiness.

I found what I had been missing. It was God.

Now ~50 I find that I have a love for God and try to love my fellow man. And I feel so much better. I'm still on medication for schizophrenia, but no longer have to take antidepresants or anxiety meds, just the anti-psychotics. They help me and I'm not paranoid anymore.

What a blessing God is to the world and his sons and daughters God Bless!

I still struggle with thinking I’m going to hell in cycles and waves and have to take antipsychotics for schizophrenia too. I’m trying to learn to trust that Jesus will save me but the fear sometimes comes and causes me anxiety and depression. I’m glad you were through God able to overcome your panic attacks and depression
