  1. I agree he probably isn’t concerned about whether he will be kicked out of office. But, I don’t think any president wants talks of impeachment dominating the news.And I don’t think any person wants to go on trial. And I don’t think it’s realistic to say that politics don’t play a role in every single decision a president makes. I’m interested in hearing why he felt the need to kill the general when Bush and Obama did not, and why it happened at the same time the speaker of the house and the press were talking about impeachment. I guess we are going to hear more tomorrow.
  2. What’s the bigger problem and who’s the real enemy? I can’t keep up with all this oil stuff. Somebody told me we were in Afghanistan because of a pipeline.
  3. I think Trump did this to take attention away from the Impeachment proceedings. Didn’t Clinton do something similar in the 1990s? The fact that both Bush and Obama passed up the opportunity to assassinate him when given the opportunity makes me wonder about Trump’s motive. And I just don’t understand the strategy behind this if it’s not about domestic politics. Obviously the next person in line will just pick up where that general left off. Do we assassinate people for what they “might” do when there are possibly grave consequences? And without providing any evidence to the American people nor Congress?I hope I’m misunderstanding something here.
  4. The fact that they have $24 million dollars to settle anything is more disturbing to me than anything else going on. The church seems like one big business
  5. This is perfect. Embarrassing and disappointing that I have to do this, but good advice. Thank you.❤️
  6. I did and they quoted this verse to me: Matthew 12:34 King James Version (KJV) 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
  7. I was not taking anyone to court. I came forward about sexual misconduct and they threatened to put me in prison and sue me. That’s over so I won’t get into those details, I’m just concerned about the after effects. I’ve never heard a Christian go from being devout to speaking the way that I have spoken and I am deeply concerned about it. Here is an example of them threatening me. I will delete it soon and not post any other screen shots. But just wanted to give an idea of how ugly the dispute was.
  8. Staring in November 2017 I started swearing really bad. Or cursing, cussing, whatever the correct term is. I was in a legal dispute with a Christian organization and I ended up cursing everybody out through email, including my own pastor who was just trying to help. I’m talking about using the F word and every other word I could think of. A-holes seemed to be one of my favorites. Prior to that, I had spent twenty years avoiding movies that were rated R because I could not stand to hear a single F word. I would ask relatives to please not cuss around me. I was not judging them, I was just easily offended by it. Now, after twenty years, I’m struggling to stop. It only occurs when I get extremely scared or extremely angry. Aside from being disobedient to God’s Word that says “let no corrupt word come out of your mouth,” I’m traumatizing my kids. The cursing episodes are few and far between, but my kids are used to a very sweet and calm Mother who teaches them Bible lessons everyday. Now I’m cursing like a sailor, once the cursing starts. One time last year we were in public and I got scared when I saw a man that I thought looked threatening. I said the F word in front of my kids, which shocked them and me. A few days ago my daughter was viewing things on the Internet (not anything sexual) that I didn’t approve of and she told me that it was no big deal. I snapped and started cursing. Very, very badly and she started to cry. Confession over. James 5:16 English Standard Version (ESV) 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.[a]
  9. Facebook is the devil. It was very insensitive for him to post that on his page. Hopefully they didn’t post pictures of really good looking food and nice parting gifts.
  10. My mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.?
  11. They may feel they fit right in! Amen!❤️
  12. That’s a very irresponsible thing to say. How many times in Scripture are people afraid and are told to “fear not”? Were those bad people?
  13. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that water became toxic, undrinkable, or bad tasting around the same time companies realized we were willing to spend close to 20 BILLION dollars a year on bottled water. First we were told we NEEDED to drink 8 glasses a day. And then, oh by the way, you can’t get the eight glasses a day from your tap. That equals billions of dollars going to bottled water companies every single year.
  14. In my area it’s drinkable. My water comes from Lake Michigan.I do use a Brita filter and I do drink Fiji Bottled water a lot because I like the taste. My two young sons are at my mother’s home right now and she let me know that she is giving them lots of water to help with their colds. The water is straight from the tap. No filter or anything.
  15. Absolutely. And our goal as Christians should be to follow the commands of Christ. That said, there are many who teach the importance of saving yourself for marriage, but they themselves didn’t do it because they came to Christ in their forties or fifties or later.So, it’s hard for them to understand the temptations and even the physical struggle of trying to remain chaste until married, especially if you don’t know if you’ll ever get married. There needs to be a serious and honest conversation in the church about sex. Starting with is it really a horrific sin if you fail to wait until marriage? Abstinence should be the goal, but is that realistic in every situation? There were some things going on with concubines in the Old Testament that confuses me about whether remaining chaste is actually a commandment. Anyway, I’m teaching my kids to wait until married for lots of reasons, but I think it will be hard if they are not married in their early twenties. I’m not going to call them a filthy beast that’s rebelling against God if they mess up. Man, I’m going to enjoy these precious years while they’re still young and innocent.
  16. As for fornication, in Biblical times people seemed to marry right after puberty. Trying to stay a virgin until you’re thirty is difficult.
  17. I didn’t read the replies but just wanted to say it sounds like you used a girl you didn’t like for sex and she may or may not be pregnant. You can’t pray a pregnancy away. The end
  18. My New Year’s resolution is to be a better wife and mother.
  19. There are probably lots of men who visit this site that long to be you. To wake up at 1am with the urge to read Scripture instead of looking at Pornography. May they be inspired by you. And I hope you know how blessed you are to have the Lord on your mind at that hour. Merry Christmas
  20. Happy birthday Lord Jesus! Merry Christmas to all! ❤️ 2 Corinthians 9:15 15Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
  21. God does things according to His own timing. I’ve had similar experiences the past couple of years with people in the church and it is difficult. I took matters into my own hands and even ended up under investigation (I was never charged with anything) and in the papers with people leaving hundreds of cruel comments about me. In the end, the Christian leaders lost their jobs. We have the power to hold people accountable. But I wouldn’t blame God for the actions of others nor would I call Him names that have been reserved for the devil-such as liar. I only bring this up because you will regret that one day and Satan will try and use it to convince you that you are not God’s child. I would confess the name calling, and then look for a way to hold people who are doing bad things accountable.
  22. I’m just now seeing this. I saw that you posted another thread about”colorism,” so I’m glad you changed your mind! When I read your other thread, I had no idea you had been contemplating suicide. You are a beautiful girl with your whole life ahead of you. Faith is hard but worth the fight. And I hope when you finish your senior year you can go away to college and surround yourself with mentors and people who inspire you.❤️
  23. 1. Who cares what they think? 2. Not buying that you think you’re fat. If you do, seek help for that. 3. Not good to come to a Christian website and post pictures of three young women scantily dressed. 4. Don’t engage their ignorance. Pray for them.
