-
thank you the question is how to find a Christian physician.
-
hello yes, i am a Christian. i have decided to stay celibate to honor Him though i do struggle in this area. what do you mean by them over to Him though? do you mean that i can hand over things to God and trust He will take care of me regardless what happens......

hello i have a mental health diagnosis recently i was put on compulsory treatment order in a court hearing in front of a judge by my doctor with help of false testimonies. he falsely claimed that i have a history of worrying about people put poison in my food, this is not true. he claimed i refused a heavier dose of this previous medication i am on, which is not true because i have specifically told my key worker i am open to higher dose of my previous medication. i was reluctant to be on new medications with nasty side effects. he said in one of our previous appointments, i was hurrying to leave because i said i need to go back to school, and later on he found me hanging outside the clinic leisurely. i am pretty sure i said no such thing. it appeared he stated this to discredit me to the judge..... there are other false testimonies as well when he tried to launched CTO against me, at one point he said coldly to me "you are not working with us, you don't trust us" it is true i did not fully trust them because of my negative experience with mental health professionals in the past, as well as how this physician had conducted himself. but i have always tried to answer their questions as much as i could. and his behavior now just confirmed i was right about him in the first place. where i live, we have this thing called the mental health act, it is designed to safe guard patients' human rights and acknowledging in the process that physicians can and do abuse patients, otherwise there would be no need of having safe guards in place. but here is mine problem, i can't talk to people about the dilemma i am in because when it comes to mental health, most people tend have their tinted glasses on when they listen to you, and they tend to want to give the physicians the benefit of doubts as take whatever they say at face value. i don't know what to do, i am a little bit scared of this doctor right now because now i am under compulsory treatment, he can do whatever he wants, and he has already proven himself to be dishonest and without integrity by lying in an attempt to put me under this order. i am currently experiencing side effects with mine new medication, but i am concerned he will not agree to change it back to mine old medications, which i did not experienced side effects on or agree to reduce the dosage. he has already dismissed mine concern once by stating the symptoms i am experiencing is considered rare for this drug, but when i do research on the net, it says one in 10 people experience the type of side effects i am experiencing. anyway, the point of me thread is to get advice on how i can talk to people about this type of things and getting a fair shot of them listening to me with an open mind i also don't know how to trust God in the midst of it when truth did not prevail and there does not seem to be likelihood of it ever does.....
-
i can relate to this i was destroyed by bunch of false testimonies today......
-
could be but i just feel like trial by media is not the way to go..... i prefer to let the jury decide......
-
i agree innocent until proven guilty must be afforded everyone

what the worst "biblical" advicd youve ever gotten
Equippers replied to creativemechanic's topic in General Discussion
before you judge somebody, you might want to remember not everyone had the same privilege that you have had. i am sure your intention is well, but not everyone have or had access to Godly advisers who does not have a personal agendas. i for one have one nasty piece of work after another. so there. -
the pictures you have removed. do they actually represent the mainstream left or those on the outlier.

Equippers replied to creativemechanic's topic in General Discussion
anything that has proven to be extremely harmful to mine life they are usually distortion of scriptures by taking things out of context, such as "love assume the best" which really meant YOU MUST BELIEVE EVERYONE UNLESS THEY COME AT YOU WITH A KNIFE, in another word, in order to be a half decent christian, i must pretend everyone is trustworthy and kind and doesn't lie and allow them to take advantage of me and milk me dry! -
How to cope with lonliness
Equippers replied to Abigaillgl's topic in Have a problem? Looking for advice?
well i think before the OP is thinking about getting a pet, one consideration is definitely how manageable it is but ability of the pet to met the desire for affection is also important you don't want to get a pet that is easy to manage but is essentially a dead weight because it is not affectionate or does not know how to give out affection, and only add stress to your current situation. i think OP should be beware that there are a lot irresponsible articles online when it comes to pets. i have came across this article online claims Chow Chow is an affectionate breed, when in reality the breed is "well known" for being aloof and cold! also there are many people who would post Youtube videos claiming their pets is affectionate when in reality their pet is a completely cold fish i would recommend Op before deciding on the type of pet to get, instead of relying on articles, go to the forum to the pet you are thinking about and type in key words such as how affectionate. and see what the users there have to say, but more importantly , see how they define "affection" because sometimes they might claim their pet is affectionate but when you look at the behaviours they have described and you go "what"? and yes, Youtube videos, just look through the videos of the pet's actual behaviour, not the title of the video or what the owner would like to claim, you would get some specific ideas as well! cat might be a good compromised option, some cat breed are known to be more affectionate. but again , do research by looking at forums and Youtube videos posted. God bless. -

are you able to get a dog? if so pug would be a good choice. obviously a dog cannot replace human companionship but they can still bring a lot joy to your life and alleviate some of that loneliness God bless. -

the children of Satan will not have the last say. God will destroy them in the end and avenge His own children. praise the Lord!

ok..... i remember reading this article on the Gospel Coalition once. just based on mine memory (and memories are never completely foolproof) the writer was making the argument or as i understood and interpreted it. that Christians in the west need to stop whining and realize that what we are going through is nothing compare with what our Christian brothers and sisters going through in the Middle East. I do not agree with this sentiment (as i understood and interpreted it). because while i do think knowing what they are going through there help us to put our own suffering here into perspective. it still does not make Christians' suffereing in the west any less real or painful. i think there is fine line between reminding someone to put their own pain into perspective as oppose to minise/trivilize/and rub salt into someone else's suffering. For example, the Christian baker from Colorado who currently fighting the case in the supreme court on the gay wedding cake case. he and his family's lives are not in danger, though they have receive death threats so you never know. but they are definitely going through some tremondous suffering and pain, and in one of the videos i have seen on the case, it appears the owner Jack Phillips do have a small group of Christians to lean on for support and encouragement, and i am glad to hear that is the case. I do think we are in the midnight hours now, and things are going to get worse and worse for a significant period of time before Christ's coming, and we need each others more than ever, because given the current climate and where it is heading, we are certainly not going to find any compassion from atheists. so for me Revival means more that being passionate about standing up to declining morality in our socieity, it is ultimately about having our fire burning bright for the Lord and result will shown in our love walk, and i do believe charity should starts at home and with family. if we don't love and support our own brothers and sisters in Christ, or worse still, shove them while they are already down, then what is the point of us being a Christian version of SJWs? that said i am a realist. i have been around the blocks enough times to know the kind of abuse that goes on right in God's household. i just pray for every single one of us on this forum that God will bring that small circle of Christians into our lives, ones we can count on for encouragement and support through the tough times that is ahead of us. and to work in our heart so that we can be support and encouragement to them as well.

just came across this super doper spiritual posts by George why don't we try to be more loving to Israel's Arab neighbours instead constantly focusing on how they supposely have wronged Israel?

here is an interesting article " To the editor: I nodded my head in agreement when I read Jim McAlister’s letter (“Corral children so others can enjoy a night out”). Recently, a friend and I were dining at a trendy restaurant in The Woodlands. Seated at another table near us were three fashionably dressed young mothers and their three children (approximately 3-5 years old). We watched in horror as the youngest of the group took the salt and pepper shakers from the table and began to lick them. The mother was either oblivious to the child’s action or chose to ignore it. After church a few weeks ago, my husband and I chose to have brunch at another upscale restaurant in South Montgomery County. After we were seated and had placed our order, two young families came and pushed two tables together: The four parents sat at one table and the five children sat at the other table. I suppose the parents thought it was delightful that two of the young girls proceeded to demonstrate their ballerina moves for everyone else in the room. When one of the ballerinas knocked into a table, and consequently spilled a glass of liquid, there was no correction from the parents, and no apology to the man who was showered with a glass of cold water. Yes, Mr. McAlister, expressing concern to the restaurant manager should suffice, but on yet another occasion a friend and I were having a late-night dinner after a movie. We were midway through our meal when two young women and their two toddlers were seated within close proximity to us. One of the toddlers became very fussy and began to throw a tantrum. Our summation was that it was long past the child’s bedtime. We asked the manager if he would move the women and the toddlers to another area. His reply, “Let me move the two of you to the bar area. That is a child-free zone.” I must admit, none of this behavior surprises me. As a retired school teacher, I witnessed first-hand the contemporary attitude of parents choosing to be their child’s best friend rather than to employ parenting skills. Often when I called home to discuss a discipline issue, I was told, “I have no idea why this is happening. We do not see this at home.” Of course not - the old blind eye to the problem trick. Same as we witness in restaurants. " i personally think the author is way too generous in her assessment that parents are interested in being their children best friend. the real reason i think, is a declining in objective morality in our society, and people no longer cares about how they or their children's behaviours is hurting others as long as it makes them and their children happy. that is why you see parents would defend their child's bullying behaviours at all cost. what do you think?

Equippers replied to creativemechanic's topic in General Discussion
keep distance and have no engagement whatsoever unless God tells you something different.
