I hope that BIG smile never failed (that´s like a sun shining, by the way)

:eek:
Thanks. I've been crying. I have no friends or family here other than my daughter. My life is in shambles right now due to sin and other mistakes. It's really hard right now. What brought me back to God was when I was having severe suicidal thoughts that I know weren't from me.

shines, I would like you to read the threads I wrote on suicide and depression. My own personal story of how God pulled me through. It's helped many on here. Click the links below in my signature to read them. :)

Thx and never mind on the profile pic figured it out but it's sideways. I'm really trying to depend on God right now and cut out some things I know are wrong. Like smoking weed and listening to awful music
Hmm!
Do you think that telling that will help to being accepted or rejected? It´s sound like telling them "Oh! I´m secular/mundane" but, such sort of honesty can be viewed in different ways (here and outside) so, don´t feel discoured at their reactions... You are you! And you will see how it works on here and, may I ask what kind of music is that?

I don´t like Salsa, Reguetón, Merengue, etc. If I had to build a sort of social or particular relationship with someone, I often checked that, just to know their "emotional" background, as if I planned to take a woman out (not as a virtual friend) BUT, AT THIS QUESTION, I´m puzzled you called "awful" and yet, you listened to it.

Why is it "awful"? If it is Salsa (those I said) I ´d agree with you. Ha! Ha! :)

I have read some of the depression one but for some reason the suicide one didn't work for me. :(

My grandmother used to say " You can love the world,..buy not everyone will love you,....but never stop hoping, and never stop loving," I will pray for you. We all welcome you here, and my inbox is open for you, anytime you want to talk or pray. God bless you, and try dwell more on your blessings than the problems.....and the light will seep into your soul from God, and your troubles become easier to bare. God bless you

Hmmm!

I grasped and idea of what it is (Thanks)

You´re not the only one. I have few friends, I miss those I loved (several of them were of my family). After divorce I lost the privilige of kissing my children on the mornings and at the evenings "good night", but I´m finding new ways to enjoy myself, although I know why my daughter doesn´t love me like I thought.

My sons are to big to give them a hug. I pray for them to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour and, when I left to live in my place, I got a putative daughter my ex wife had with another man who fled (and I enjoy myself when I see the type of girl she´s becoming during these 8 years that quickly passed).

All of us made mistakes! You are young and still have more than hopes (you have a daughter) and I wished I could be there to give you more than simple shake of hands.

Be strong and fight your fights!

I had a long response to this that disappeared. I feel like if I'm actively giving myself to Christi I shouldn't be judged on mistakes and questions to cure those ailments. I feel Christians should be quicker to help than to judge. By that poster judging me in that way is he is epitomizing some very saddening stereotypes Christians have to deal with. I don't smoke weed anymore so I feel there should be less judgment on something God has forgiven me for instead fellow Christians should offer support in a non attacking way. Honesty to me is a good thing. It's better to admit your failures than to pretend you're better than others (not you but this specific guy being rude to me) masturbatiomn is something most of us has done so it's weird to me he would come at me with such aggression over innocent questions. To me that shows fear on his part and juddgement. Which is totally hypocritical considering sin is the subject matter.

Also music with darker themes that I know has poisoned my mind.

It was on a masturbation thread I had genuine questions about it. I don't masturbate anymore but the poster immediately assumed I am some harlott because of my confusion. He also nastily told me the reason I'm depressed is because I masturbate it felt attacking and cruel. I was atheist in my teens because of cruelty I saw by self proclaimed Christians and this is very triggering for me. Especially since I came here hoping to avoid the shenanigans of secular support groups. But honestly I have had way more respect regarding my depression on non Christie. Forums. I actually cried over this. I know I'm extra sensitive bc I'm isolated right now. But wow.
Whatever the reason you had (or would have) God is aware of your physical and emotional needs.

It´s easier to pass judgements when that person has, what others lacked...

As a matter of opinions anyone could be seen as a prostitute, a sordid sinner (hopeless) but look at Jesus when He spoke to that Samaritan woman who had had 5 men without marriage (Jn)

Did the Lord Jesus Judged her as a fox or anything?

Sometimes I wish God or Jesus explained somethings instead of those who say "I believe in Him" and, additionally, He (God) gave each person what they lacked.

Don´t set your hopes to high on people!

Ask and pour out your thoughts and feelings on GOD, instead.

Please let me say, that through prayer and faith in God...your troubles will get better. You have to be of great Faith and try, try, try.
You must get thoughts of taking your own life out of the darkness of your mind. Your post says you have a child, she would be devastated. You can get help! People do care. And ad far as you asking questions in forums,...you don't HAVE to poor your sins out to strangers in these forums. People are very good here, but you never know where a wolf in sheep clothing could hide. I'd suggest join a local church. Make person to person relationships there. Perhaps ask if there's a trust worthy pastor in town. Me personally, I speak of sin to my closest loves in my life, but that's up to you. Main thing is dear, is YOU ARE NOT ALONE! And you need to show your daughter that mommy can do this...mommy can win in Christ! God bless you, I will pray

ThX to everyone who was nice on here. I have seen judgemental activity and cruetly. I have already been attacked on posts that I was asking genuine questions on. If I stay around Christians like this I'll separate from God again bc it is truly depressing witnessing "christians" behaving this way. Clearly there is a reason God hasn't put any christians in my path yet for a reason. There aren't a lot of good ones. I contacted the moderator to delete my account. Thanks for those of you that I can tell have good hearts. Good luck and God bless
So, you are leaving... :(

@ Shine:

After you leave you´ll see that type of people are everywhere...

Behind their masks I hope you really find Jesus´ face.

Meanwhile, "life" goes bye bye.

One more thought: If you left because someone or many mistreated you, you probably are giving the "right" to keep on doing the same, as if the won the battle, while you owned the battlefield.


@CC

The moment I came in to register onCC I was shocked at reading, as a breaking News: "...there were several people trying to destroy CC..." (I couln´t find those threads I read, after a year)

It took me time to understand it! But the things many have tried to destroy was not this virtual "community", but the virtual lack of FELLOWSHIP; becauSe many came HERE seeking God through their interaction with believers (those God ONLY knows) but secularist outside here (mundane and "sinners" who have been rejected a lot) have given them a better example of love (sometimes)

I´m NO ONE to say it or write it, but it´s my time to say it, because I´m not blind and I´m glad of being in your Ignore Lists.

Thanks be to God, who always gives the needy what they surely need.

:eek:

Hey, welcome. I am new around here, too. Push yourself to go find a church home .No church is perfect -- they have people in them -- but you and your daughter would benefit from the people interaction you will find there. God bless you on this journey!

I stole that profile pic!


If you do mind, that smile :) will be on my desk when I need someone to talk or to laugh.

I´m not sure who you are but, that caption shows her soul, her goodness, and that´s what matters me: The inner and real person anyone is.

:eek:

Welcome to CC!
A day is only sorrowful if you don't do something for the Lord. Try thinking of good things. I have started doing something good everytime that something bad happens. Just so I can remember that it was mostly a good day.
Pray and listen to the Lord. He will bring you peace.
