  1. Thanks for sharing your story and sorry you have gone through this. I see how much satan can deceive a person. I suspect my former husband may have a mental illness relating to substance abuse. I think he may have lead a double life as well and pretended to be a christian. It's so hard to say, God knows his heart. If I may ask, where are things for you now? Are you doing better?
  2. Thanks for your comment. I tried so much to give him the attention that was needed. My mother also was visually impaired. There was also so much to do. I had helped taken care of his father in previous years and, at the time, I was caring for my mother, his younger brother was living with us (awaiting prison sentence). I was busy with him as well while he lived with us for six months. It was not easy. I feel perhaps I didn't encourage him enough or even spend enough time in prayer for him. That is something I could have done better!! I don't know if he is sociopath or narcissist although he does have those qualities, sadly. Yes, I agree with you, it's very demonic. Do you mean prescription medication? I am not sure but I suspect other substances he could be taking. I am not in his life, although I have this burden on my heart to pray for him. When I met him, he was a new believer in Christ, having overcome huge drug addictions. He had a powerful testimony and God brought him through and delivered him of these addictions. He went on to serve the Lord in various ministries. I guess he has turned his back on God. I just really don't want him to spend eternity in hell. I prayed for him before I even met him and I find I am doing that again. Thank you for your encouraging words. God bless.
  3. Psalm 121 1I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
  4. I was married for 18 years. I absolutely adored my husband. He was a christian and we were in fellowship attending church When he suddenly left me in 2016, (he literally walked out the door while I was attending to the laundry) I was bewildered and broken -hearted. He left me after my mother went to be with the Lord. When I needed him the most, he was gone. He became very strange and acting differently chasing women in other countries, having relationships with various ones and wanting to marry someone else. He took on a new identity, shaved his head, changed part of his first name(shortened it), drawn to another country/culture, took up musical instrument, etc. I was in so much shock and broken-hearted. I may not have been the perfect wife but I did love and care for him. He never wanted to talk about why he left me and told me to mind my own business. He became vicious and nasty and sold our home so he could fund his new adventures with travel and women, etc. It took me a year to forgive him and I fought and prayed for our marriage to be restored but he didn't want that and divorced me. I have a chronic illness and I had lost my mother prior to him leaving me; I had cared for her with dementia, even though she had gone into care. He did email me after separation and divorce, sometimes would send an email on our wedding Anniversary despite him married to someone else(he never told me he was married, i had heard he got married. He sometimes emails on my birthday. I don't really know who he is. I was living in our home(the one he sold) but became a tenant to the new owners. It was our home for 20 years and then I rented it. It was a big home with a big garden and lots to do to care for it. He also left a lot of his belongings behind. I don't live there anymore, I rent elsewhere but have never told him as I don't trust him. I am not sure who he is, despite knowing him for over 20 years of my life. He would still think I live in this big home with garden and tonnes of responsibilities and also my health conditions. As a christian, I wonder why he has no conviction or even care. Would he not stop to think, "I wonder how she is coping with the house, and all the responsibilities I left her with: I wonder how he could just walk away and not care, when I cared for him and his own family(his mother.father and siblings) I am perplexed by this Can anyone shed some light on this? I still care about him and continue to pray for him. I didn't have a bad marriage and always thought he loved me as I loved him. Apparently, I must have been deeply mistaken.
  5. Thanks for yourr reply but was your Marriage worth fighting for? What were the biblical grounds for divorce? I would think your marriage is worth fighting for. I've been standing nearly 3year for mine. God bless! She has broken up with him three times and she gets angry with him.They cancelled the wedding for now.
  6. She told me he has a mental illness but she wants him to come off the medication. She works full time and has a good job.Maybe she wants to take care of him but that is not a good reason for marrying. I agree. She is impulsive. In June 2018 she was wanting to be friends with my brother on Facebook and thought he would be suitable to marry. She will marry anyone it seems.
  7. She told me that the marriage was based on a lie..that his former wife left him and only married him for a visa. She is pushing him to divorce her. The man is 48 and doesn't have a job which is another concern. She pursued him.
  8. I agree. When speaking with her friend, who is also a christian about it, the friend says it's wonderful as he is a lovely man.
  9. I am concerned for a friend who started dating a man late July 2018. She did know of him in the church but didn't really know him. They went on one date. She messaged him on FB to ask him out for a date. They went on the date and the next day she contacted him. He was very hazy about the date as he takes medication for a mental illness. I encouraged her to take things slow, but in a few days, she phoned me to tell me they were getting married. I was stunned?? Both are christians but he is still legally married and filing for divorce now after his wife left him 12 months ago. Apparently, he discovered she married him for VISA only. He appears quite vunerable. My friend just wants to be married. Now they are organising a marriage on 1 December but he only just filing for divorce now. He hasn't even completed the paper work. She told me only family are invited to wedding. It's her 3rd wedding at age 42, her first marriage was at age 17 to a 50 year old man with her parents consent. I am finding it hard to be happy for her but another christian friend said, we should be happy for her as the man she is marrying is lovely. What do you think? God hates divorce but his wife did abandon him. But should they be dating while he is still legally married?
  10. Firstlly, I want to say "I'm sorry". This post certainly warrants a lot of sympathy. I know how you are feeling as I suffer from IF(Infertility) myself. NO - YOU ARE NOT BEING OVERLY SENSITIVE!!! The very sad fact is this: A lot of Pastors/Minister are very inconsiderate and thoughtless and, so(sadly) are a lot of christians. I speak from MANY years of experience. You have my sympathy and Love. PM me if you would like to be steered into a Christian forum specifically for those who suffer from Inferility. You will find acceptance and Love, something which is very rare these days. Tonnes of hugs to you because I feel your pain.
  11. My husband is involved in prison Ministry and we also sponsored a prisoner(weekends in our home). I don't know much about the crime of Molestation - my husband spent a short time in prison when he was young for some petty crimes. I would be sure that your husband is in protective custody so that no harm would come to him. I husband did visit with a paedophille(sp?) but was not there to judge or offer counsel - just show God's love. Your husband is loved by God and he made a mistake and now he has to serve a sentence. Prison is not a bad, scary place. The prisons I have visited inmates are friendly and open - bbq areas, that was minimum security(I am in Australia). Restoration can take place in prison. Your circumstances are very sad and I am not familiar with this type of sentence. I will pray for your husband and for your daughter and also for you my friend. Are you able to make contact with Prison Fellowship in your area? Try Googling Prison Ministry in your state/country. My thought and my prayers are with you. God offers total forgiveness and can restore lives. I've witnessed this in my husband's life and also a young prisoner whom we sponsored. God bless, praying
  12. Thanks for your responses! Oh, this is very worrying! I'm so upset learning this news! I guess I should just pray for him. If he truly is the Lord's, He will come back to Him, I am sure! It is SO sad that a young person would depart from the teachings of christianity to follow this.
  13. But can you still be a christian and a communist?
  14. I have a young brother-in-law who turns 23 today. So I decided to send him a Happy birthday greeting in FACEBOOK. Under religious views he has noted: Viva la Communista I am just wondering what this might be. As far as I know he is or was a committed christian. I witnessed him being baptised in the church and giving his testimony. He is also (apparently) in a christian band. I am not sure if he attends church - I don't think so. He gave up his studies to join this band. I know he has a g/friend and he spends time at her place (sleeps over) I'm not judging him but I am concerned about him. Can anyone tell me if this means he follows Communism? My cousin was having a conversation with him once and I do remember him saying that he did support Adolf Hitler or something along those lines. I'm very concerned thanks!
