Actually I think people in the Singles forum are more balanced. Not too serious about life and not too playful. There are threads where we let loose our craziness but there are some other threads where we have participated in intellectual discussions.
Personally, I would not participate in the Bible discussion forum. Most of the threads are not discussions anymore. They have turned into heated debates with a lot of mud-slinging. From personal experience, debating with a fellow Christian is a waste of time. In the end there is only anger/irritation and neither is edified. You can call me shallow if you want. But I am doing myself a great deal of help by staying away from such forums.
oh i don't go to the bible discussion forum either... i'm just quarantined to my room after a recent trauma and am trying to find balanced fellowship (in a safe place, my room) while i wait out the pain that i am enduring.
i was just beginning to participate in life and fully ready to overcome my anxieties and fears and call the enemy a liar for what he's tried to do to destroy my life, and he went for the jugular... so i am just trying to catch my breath and re-gain my composure before i venture out into the world again.
i was feeling so joyful and stable, and then i saw my abuser last monday at my aa meeting. i have been trying to recover ever since.
he is the one that triggered ptsd and instability and anxieties in me that i cannot even begin to describe.
i had prayed for him, it was my way of forgiving him, but i can't say it didn't throw me off to see him there and have to sit across from each other for two hours or more.
the blessing is that it caused me to take my mother to church for the first time.
i need all the support i can get right now, i understand the internet doesn't really substitute for face to face interactions and all...
