(Please Read) Sacrificing for something "Bad" to happen..?

[BlackTigress777]

Hello, I know this seems very long, but I need help. I will try to make this as understandable as possible.

My family has been going through a very hard time (money wise). I don't know how, but some type of way, these very nice generous people gave us an apartment to live in.

Everything was okay, it ruined my senior year of high school since I had to go to a new high school (which was actually better), but we still had a place to live. When we moved, the other apartment next door was empty, so it was peaceful and quiet and I could easily get some sleep. But unfortunately, the people who gave us the apartment were fired. The apartment was under new management...then afterwards, the New people were fired. Ever since, the apartment's management was never as stable as it used to be.

Because of this, new people have moved next by us. I'm going to be Honest. They are Awful. They have NO RESPECT towards us or other neighbors what so ever. They talk EXTREMELY loud outside (right where my room's window is), they constantly talk about drugs, every once in a while around MIDNIGHT they (I guess invite people?) to talk to OUTSIDE where EVERYONE can hear them and Worst of all - at MIDNIGHT (1 - 4 AM) they play Very LOUD and Heavy bass music that I believe even Downstairs neighbors can hear. - This is why I am up at this Very moment, and it's currently 4:36 AM.

They've recieved One report from the apartment management. They stopped with the loud music for about Three weeks, now they're back to playing it.

Just when I think it can't get Any worse, people have moved in Across our apartment (about 45 feet away). They are EXTREMELY LOUD, and they ALWAYS seem to talk extremely loud at MIDNIGHT.

Why at Midnight when everyone is Usually asleep? I have No idea.

All I know is that I CAN NOT take it anymore.
My family (My mother and older brother) Refuses to report the next door neighbors. Mainly, since my mother is pretty much paranoid by watching shows like "I Survived", she thinks they might end up trying to hurt or kill us if they recieve another report (I disagree).
They do Not understand that my room is RIGHT NEXT BY their loud bass and music. Just because my mother's room isn't, and just because my brother sleeps in the Front room and he can't hear it doesn't mean that I should just suffer and never get Any sleep. Finally, Yesterday my mother finally heard how loud their annoying music is through her bathroom.

I Can Not Take this Anymore. I've been driven to tears. My family will not do Anything about it.

So here's my main question:

I've been wondering if I can some how make a Deal with Jesus..
I know this is going to sound pretty terrible, but I was wondering if I could sacrifice something of mines in the future in order for something "Bad" to happen to my neighbors next door.

For example, if some how I can pray for something bad to happen to my neighbors (like if they break up and have to move..or even if one of them gets caught by the cops with drugs - since that seems to be one of the things they OBVIOUSLY talk about..NOTHING LIKE DEATH OR ANYTHING!).
Because this is bad, something of mines will have to be sacrificed some time later (Like if something important of mines breaks or I get into a bad break up or something).

Is that possible? Sacrificing something of mines, just for something unfortunate to happen to my neighbors next door? Or is that just evil?

I Know it seems terrible, but I Cannot take this Anymore and I REALLY CAN'T TAKE IT for about seven More months (when we expect to move).
These disrespectful people do Not deserve to act so outrageous and disrespectful towards other neighbors. I can't stand the fact that hardly anything Ever happens to careless people and that good people Always have to deal with bad things that happen to them often! Not me or my family members deserve to live like this!


So is it possible to make a deal with Jesus - To sacrifice something of mines in the future, just so something unfortunate would happen to my Horrible next door neighbors that'll require them to move?
Is there anything like this mentioned in the bible? Is this Okay or just an evil thought of mines?

i dunno what to tell ya tigress. sacrifice for gain is occultism at it's finest. i don't think you can make deals with the God of the universe. it's not how he rolls. i can only suggest keep praying. maybe try some ear plugs. you can get a foam pair for like 30 cents probably. i'll say a prayer for ya. making that deal will only end in failure though. in fact, it may even be considered an offense to even try it, but i don't know that for sure.

God does not work that way. And i would dare say that may even be an offense to God to even attempt. Sometimes in life you just have to deal with people. A friend of mine went through the same thing, with different sets of neighbors. The people in the apartment next door often stood outside, talking loud, smoking, drinking, playing music with the door open, being loud even late. She had to repeatedly report them, and went as far as using a video camera from inside her house to record the noise, and filmed them on their porch through the peephole. She had to go through this for months. At the same time, the people under her often screamed at each other and their children, and watched movies really loud with the surround sound system cranked up. She reported them a few times, and went to them personally on a number of occasions about it.
Finally the people across from her moved out, only to have new loud neighbors move in, who did the same thing as the previous. Plus she still had the downstairs neighbors. And even the people to the right of her would sometimes play music loud enough to hear the thump of the bass. She dealt with all this stuff for years. Sadly this is just apartment living to some degree. Shes had other apartments who have been loud as well, on top of all this. And shes a single mom trying to homeschool.
All you can do is pray that God will change the situation somehow.

hi

I had annoying neighbors for four years straight (the first two had parties about four times a week, from afternoon til the next morning), so I understand your frustration, I really do. I tried to study these years and was unable to sleep because of it (and the landlord didn't care). However:

Asking for something bad to happen to them = cursing them, and sacrificing something for it to happen is, as has been said, starting to look a lot like occultism. The bible is clear on how we should treat those who annoy us, hate us, lie about us, attack us: We are to love them.

I don't think this means we have to feel all fuzzy, but it does mean we should not repay evil with evil

Maybe try to ask God to bless them, who knows, maybe the blessing will somehow involve being more silent ?

The thing with divorce is that it has many negative effects in the body. Women often become so worried and stressed out from the divorce that they do not realize the constant harm it brings to their body. And eventually you turn from a loving, trusting person to a mean bitter person. That is what Divorce should not do. You should not let divorce change you but see divorce as an opportunity to change yourself. There was a very intelligent book written by Barbara Williams on Divorce and how to avoid self-critiquing thoughts and reprogram your conscious. This book is a very informative and insightful book on why men are able to better cope with divorce than women. But mainly it guides and tells women how and why it is so important to take care of yourself during this vulnerable phase. It is very easy to lose sight during this time and do harmful damage to your mental health and to feed your conscious negative thoughts daily. I was criticizing myself so much after the divorce which resulted in very lowself-esteem and an altered sense of reality. I was being beaten down by my own inner conscious daily which put negative feelings in my body. You can visit the link for more information.

Okay...you guys will not believe this..But my neighbors actually got KICKED OUT TODAY.....! I know it's unfortunate for them, but I haven't even prayed Once for them to move yet. My mother was going to FINALLY report them tomorrow..But I guess that's not necessary! I no longer need to worry..

I seriously wasn't expecting this! Really...I'm glad I didn't do what I said I was going to do...I have to be more patient from now on.

Get some ear buds that shut out the music. There are some active ones that completely shut out everything.

Umm... methinks you're in the wrong post. This post has nothing at all to do with divorce.

The God I know is really not into making deals.

But, you can just as easily start praying a 1am police car to cruise the area. That they will become paranoid and move. Take up witnessing to them every chance you get. Drive them to paranoia yourself! What ever. But, forget the deals.

What part of "Love thy neighbor" is so hard to understand?

Glory to God!

When the BLAST loud music, smoke outside, run up and down stairs like a bunch of children and BEAT their children outside!...but I'm not trying to be rude..(sorry, I have slight anger issues.)

it's just, they don't (well..didn't..) respect anyone around them....

But hopefully, since they moved, maybe they'll be blessed and change their ways..

Praise God! He takes care of our every needs, He is a merciful, merciful God. That being said, this sort of thing will most likely happen again in your life, especially as you move away from home and either go to college or just get your own place somewhere. Always, always trust God to take care of all of your needs.

I've lived a lot of places and had to put up with loud music, talking and more. Thankfully some basic tips I read and received helped me deal:

*Move your bed to the wall farthest from the sound
*Invest in a device that plays white noise and helps drown out all the other noise around (homedics makes some, there are other companies as well) they can easily be bought in a bed, bath and beyond store or something like
*Find ear plugs with the highest noise reduction possible (these can be found in any store)
*Turn a loud fan on (or window installed air conditioning unit if you have it)
*Hang thick blankets on the wall
*Always, always trust in God to provide everything you need!! And He will, Bless!!!

Can't be the "neighbor" part, that was dealt with two thousand years ago.

Fine don't love anyone. They're gone now. Let's just continue to love those we choose to love. It's easier and better for us as a selfish individual human beings to do so.
