No I’m not a man hater. My father was such a woman hater that he liked men a bit too much if you know what I mean. No woman ever made him happy or could.
There are just some people on the world who are sociopaths and don’t care who they hurt. They can’t feel anything and need to get bigger and bigger thrills just to feel something other than numbness.
I hope I didn’t just describe you, did I? If that description does match you then please ask God for healing. Either way it sounds like you need Jesus.
OK everybody here please calm down! They want us divided, remember? If we all claim to serve Jesus here then surely we can treat each other with respect? Love one another. Focus on Jesus, the one person you definitely CAN agree on!
We all have reasons to believe what we do. I went from evangelical to Anglican after reading a church history book. It really made me reconsider a lot of things. Before anyone judges the others’ salvation here at least try to understand where they’re coming from first? And for my fellow Protestants here, Maybe you could pick up a real history book by an actual historian (not a pastor with an ax to grind) before trying to convert the Catholics here? I’m seeing a lot of pseudohistory being espoused here, and that’s an instant turnoff for your Catholic friends.
Of course I’m probably going to get eaten by all sides here because nobody knows what to do with Anglicans since they don’t fit anywhere. 😋
Well he was sweating blood from all the anxiety he was feeling while praying in the Garden before his crucifixion. At least that’s what I remind myself when I feel anxious. Especially during that year I had undiagnosed hyperthyroidism that made me feel like a grizzly bear was chasing me 24/7. Even then I wasn’t at the point of sweating blood.
Glad you have a nice husband and/or father. My “Christian” father was a porn addict who lied to my mom about himself to entrap her in marriage thinking marrying would solve his porn addiction. It did not. He was a faithless cheater his whole life. Escalated to real affairs with women and I swear he was seeing prostitutes. So yes from my life experience where my mom was definitely NOT a feminist, my father had zero excuse. As another poster said here, it’s about instant gratification, no matter who gets hurt. Supreme selfishness is at work.
And for those of you here justifying your porn addictions here, why don’t you just cut to the chase and visit a brothel for the real thing? You might as well. It’s no different. Those are human beings you’re objectifying made in God’s image.
I can only imagine how screwed up someone would have to be to want to be a porn star. You should be helping these women and men out of these “careers” by sharing Jesus, not using them up more.
I agree with you. I just wanted to make sure love was in the equation. I see so many MRAs out there who want to play king of the castle but don’t realize that in Jesus’s kingdom the husband’s crown is a crown of thorns.
The only thing everyone should agree on is that every single piece of shit who touches a child or defenseless person should be fed to the wolves....alive.
But that’s a judgment too which you said is a sin! Which way is it?
If porn industries run such a tight business then why do they recruit women who have a history of being molested as children. Hint: It’s because their self worth is already destroyed. Your attitude is part of the problem. You want to rescue trafficked kids but you’ll watch them as broken adults in a porno? Think it through.
If you doubt me that the porn industry targets such broken women, there is an interview done by Pastor Jimmy Hinton from 2017 where he speaks with a former porn star who found Jesus and quit the industry. She tells her story and how she was targeted for recruitment. I don’t have the link since it was years ago but I’m sure you can dig it up if you really want to.
Porn existed before feminism. There was plenty of 19th century snuff literature for the fellas. And brothels have been in existence since forever. Besides if feminism were the real issue then why do so many men in traditional churches with submissive wives who put out still looking at porn? Reality is they don’t love their wives and are cheaters at heart. Ditto with women looking at porn.
Sorry having grown up in complemenarian churches where women submit and men lead, I can tell you this isn’t the solution to fixing marriages. It’s love. People have to live one another just like Jesus said. Without love the marriage you describe will be nothing but tyranny. Radical feminism simply reverses who gets to be the tyrant.
On that note, It never ceases to amaze me the people screaming 1776 whenever the government does something they don’t like, but those same people have a problem when a wife resists her tyrant husband and dares to expect love from him instead of a man-child barking overbearing orders and being irresponsible with money etc. Those wives are labeled a rebellious Jezebels. Very hypocritical if you ask me.
Antidepressants should be outlawed?!?!? Please don’t ever say that! I tried every OTC remedy, vitamin, food, exercise, you name it. None of that worked for me. If I hadn’t gone on antidepressants I don’t think I’d be here anymore. And yes I tried prayer and Bible reading. When your prayers become “ Please God kill me” it might be time to take the meds.
I still suspect my thyroid was at fault. But since my blood work was playing peekaboo I couldn’t get a diagnosis. I also got diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. Might have gotten it from both ends there. I suspect a bout of hyperthyroidism did permanent damage to my brain that required psych meds to fix. I only wish I hadn’t been so stubborn and had taken them sooner.
I’m on Zoloft and Wellbutrin myself. I came down with extreme anxiety ( likely thyroid induced but could never get a diagnosis even though it was popping out of my neck). I could hardly sleep, so depressed. Felt like a grizzly bear was chasing me 24/7. Since there wasn’t a grizzly bear, my brain started to fill in the blank as to what was scaring me so it could resolve. Past trauma started cycling through my head uncontrollably. I ended up a complete wreck.
I too was scared to take antidepressants. I held out for a year. A nurse at the sleep disorder finally showed me compassion and told me I needed something. So here I am. And I’m so much better! I can sleep again! I can laugh and smile! And best of all, I’m not praying for God to kill me anymore. I’m f that nurse hadn’t intervened I probably wouldn’t be here anymore. My family needing me was barely keeping me from driving off a cliff.
Just take the medicine. Even my own family regrets telling me not to take it. We all regret every day that I didn’t take it sooner. A year of my life wasted.
If you are worried about side effects and withdrawal symptoms, try Prozac or Zoloft first. They are easier to get off of for most people. Some like Effexor will actually give you brain zaps if you’re an hour late taking your next dose. But Prozac and Zoloft have a longer half life so it’s easier to ween off them. Same with Wellbutrin.
I actually managed to get off Zoloft and Wellbutrin last month. No withdrawal symptoms. Very easy. I ended up going back on because I realized my old OCD scrupulosity had returned, which I had suffered from all my life. I found myself stepping on something crunchy outside. Felt tremendous guilt because I thought I’d hurt a snail. Went back outside to put it out of its misery in case I hadn’t actually killed it. And it was actually a twig. 🤣. Zoloft takes the extreme guilt away. I can actually forgive myself.
So talk to your doctor and ask for something like Prozac or Zoloft or even Wellbutrin, since they are better for newbies. If they don’t work or stop working then you can try other stuff like lexapro. Don’t be scared! People only bother to post their experiences usually when it’s bad. You don’t usually hear of good experiences because those people are too happy living life to get online and talk about it. I also suspect these meds are over prescribed to people who don’t need them and are just situationally depressed not chronically, and these people end up worse off because of it. For those who actually need it, it’s a life saver. Literally.
Regarding Dr. Shiva, I don’t personally trust him because he lied about inventing email. He happened to write a program that sends messages and happened to call it “email”. But it’s not the same email you and I use every day. The email we use was created by many people at ARPANET. See this summary here: https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/projects/1999-00/internet/email.html
Dr. Shiva does not have his name on any RFCs concerning email. He has been called out on this before and only buckled down. He actually sued Techdirt over it, and lost. In my book he is inflating his credentials to get attention. This is a sign of a narcissist. A narcissist doesn’t have to necessarily get rich off the attention either to be happy. They just want to be seen and admired.
As Q said, be careful who you follow.
Never knew of any horses having cancer back when I was a kid and had horses. But then, horses don’t sit around eating Cheetos and definitely don’t reheat their food in plastic containers in the microwave or wear cosmetics or whatever else humans do to themselves that might cause cancer.
Thanks for the warm welcome! I mostly lurk but I have posted a few times. Mostly I just read rather than post because I agree and have nothing to add.
I used to lurk on r/the_donald back in 2016-2017. I stopped hanging there because the incessant use of the C word grated on me. I really like this site a lot better because the language is overall more mild.
Due to some wild thyroid health issues I didn’t discover Q until last year. I was like a groundhog emerging on Groundhog Day, wondering what had been going on in the world since I’d fallen ill. My initial reaction to Q was, “What?!? Pizzagate kept going?”
I feel like I missed out on all the cool stuff. Don’t know if I would’ve had the patience to stick with Q drops as they came out though. Kudos to those who followed for so long! I’m still somewhat on the fence about Q, but it’s hard to argue against what Q asked everyone to do—pray and combat MSM lies with truth. I do hope patriots are in control and that we will see justice sooner or later. God bless!
Sure looks like him. My grandfather was a 33 degree Freemason and used to go horseback riding with Reagan and others on Reagan’s ranch. Not saying Reagan was a mason. I can neither confirm nor deny. But people with money and power tend to rub shoulders with each other. Maybe Reagan just thought the whole effigy thing was a weird joke and was just out to rub shoulders, not realizing just how sick some of these people get? Or maybe he was into more sinister things himself. Hard to say for sure.
When Q said the military is the only way, I believe it, even if Q isn’t for real. Remember the Tea Party movement? I did what I could back then even while caring for a sick parent. I joined my Young Republicans chapter hoping to change things locally. I walked around with my Sick of Spending T-shirt. I donated and voted for Tea Party candidates. I showed up to my local congressman’s rally to put my young face in the crowd on behalf of Young Republicans. All of it was for nothing.
I watched the Tea Party be infiltrated by RINO candidates who betrayed us as soon as they got into office. My local congressman never did anything useful for anyone but himself and didn’t even have the courtesy to write back when I’d ask him about supporting a House bill. My Young Republicans chapter only ever wanted us to make phone calls and vote for RINO candidates. Shucks. I live in California. The Republican Party enjoys losing on purpose here. That, and selling your phone number to Democrat candidates to be robo-called. What really freaked me out was watching Tea Party ringleaders have their lives ruined by never ending IRS audits—all frivolous of course.
I watched the Tea Party die with a whimper. Gen. Flynn needs to tell us what will be so different this time. More of the same, or even worse harassment from the government? No thanks! We need a a plan that will actually work this time. Grass roots has been tried and failed. Repeating this same failure will meet the definition of insanity. Military really is the only way. I knew that long ago with the destruction of the Tea Party. Voting for Trump in 2016 was the last crate of tea that I had that I could throw overboard. If he cannot change things with all the power of POTUS behind him, then neither can any grassroots movement.
Sincerely, Tea-bagger deplorable pede.
Yup! Typical doctors! They can’t think outside the teensy box of their tests. And they leave you suffering. I was at the point of reading medical journals trying to figure out what else could be wrong so I could find the right specialist to see. I’ve realized there’s no such thing as the right specialist and that you get to diagnose yourself. Sadly, we can’t operate on ourselves or prescribe for ourselves, so we still have to try to reason with these dumb doctors. Gah!
Also why do you assume my “rants” are emotional? Sounds like projection. 😂 Relaying anecdotal experience to make a point in a debate about morality and whether something is harmless vs harmful is not “emotional”.
And for the record, I know first hand that my father was a pervert with an addiction. He was starting to sexualize me in my preteens. Seeing if I would let him go further. I didn’t. I think the only thing that kept me from getting molested was him knowing my mother would murder him if she found out.
