They heard that there were some joyful content Christians around here and figured the only explanation was that we didn't know our Bibles well enough so they came over here to educate us. Hopefully our complete lack of concern for what they have to talk about has driven them back to their own territory.
I don't have nearly so much problem with them wanting those things in a wife; it's when they think that said woman should not have a problem with their oh so not perfect pasts or be eager and overjoyed to sign up to play second fiddle to them for the rest of their lives that I think they are way off base. Simple rule of thumb, if you are not living up to your own requirements then your requirements are too high.
When I read those threads about finding someone. I wonder if some of the guys (mostly the one's that aren't in the Singles forum often) understand that the woman reading them would look at what they posted and think, I'd never be up to their standards in a woman. They say that women are looking for this perfect man, but they they'll post something about finding a proverbs wife and she'd have to be a non smoking, no past history clean slate virgin.
Well who can live up to perfection? So good luck to them finding a spouse, because anyone on here isn't coming for you.

Well after you've done all the standard trying to figure out God's will stuff (read bible, pray, see if you have inner peace about it, talk to other christians, etc.) there is something to be said for just making a decision and praying "OK God, I'm trying to follow you and as far as I know this is what I should do. If you want me to do something different please stop me." That at least is my absolute fallback when I've exhausted all other options. Though with what you are going through I do feel the need to add, please don't do anything to intentionally harm yourself.
Some people are smart enough to reserve their most extreme behavior for when a Mod isn't in the room. Even if there is a Mod there lack of action does not necessarily equate to permission, a lot of the time when I'm in chat I have the volume down quite a way and may doing other tasks is which case my attention may primarily be on another screen.
I don't know if this is relevant but you know how Jesus talks about in the New Testament that the new wine must be poured into a new wine skin or it will burst? It's not so much of placing a condition but rather it is there to protect you - pouring in new stuff from heaven into a mind that has not been renewed will do nothing but "burst" the mind because it's not capable of receiving it nor being able to handle it. Everything our Dad does is based on love no matter however you slice it.
God bless!
yeah, i will say this: i've met some amazing, godly, kind and loving people on cc. people who have become dear friends.
and i've also met 264354325 flavors of crazy, and even crazy in the extreme. also the impudent, the miserable, the self-absorbed, the deceitful, the artlessly aggressive (and angry), and the flat-out lecherous.
but, the much of the good i've seen has been very good, and the amazing folks far outweigh the negatives of the unpleasant.

withdrawing from abilify is really not very easy. please pray for me.
terrible migraines and nausea, mood swings, sometimes crippling anxiety, dizziness, getting really freaked out about things... paranoia.
doctors don't even seem to know this. no one does, but for those who've gone through it it seems. there are some warnings but it's a fairly new drug and, um yeah. they do warn you about mental issues and instability but there is not a clear outline of the entire list of symptoms at all or enough information.
i knew this would be hard, but i'm just through two months and debilitating symptoms persist. it's a scary roller coaster.
i really don't want to be medicated and i'm counting on God to pull me through.
i went cold-turkey from 20mg to 0. some people take 9 months to a year to titrate off of 5mg or less and still have severe withdrawal symptoms.
it takes up to a month to flush out of your system and up to three months to have a chance for brain chemistry to balance.
no one told me this. told doctor at week two that i seemed fine and she wasn't worried. thought i'd made it through. turns out the stuff wasn't even fully out of my system. she had no knowledge.
this is a serious drug.

At what age does the maturity waiver expire?
i'm hoping i still have some time left on mine, because being grown up all the time is highly overrated.
in other news, i'm off to waste a couple more hours at kaiser, hooked up the IV dog leash.
i'm expecting gratuitous amounts of posting while i'm away.
