So I take it from the comments most of you still believe in Satan as a being, right? How can you blame everything bad on him? Don't we bring a lot of it on ourselves by our actions or lack thereof? I think so many would just like to find someone else to blame for anything horrible that happens to them. We know stuff happens to good and bad people. We all get sick and now we know we will all die. Let's make the most of the life we have been given and lay off all the crap we shovel on people, who haven't done anything to deserve it.

Is Satan REALLY all that BAD????
by oompa indemons and satan may not really be that bad after all.
the bible does not really say all that much about him, but we do know god does not put up with much $hit.
so lets see,satan calls god a liar, and gets man to sin, and what happens to him?

The person who was mean to me was in a pm. I understand that everyone thinks that is private and the board is public. Since, only about seven people know who I am on here. The person that wrote me has hundreds of friends on here. She is with my former husband now. She moved in with him after I moved out. I haven't seen her on this board, yet. Hope she doesn't show up but if she does---I will stay away from her for sure. I will not say who either of them are, to protect the life they have chosen with each other. That hurts enough. They have each other I have my loving dog. It will take years to get over the divorce but I am working through it. My losses are great, major loss: My marriage to divorce, resulting losses: my best friend and companion, my home, my job, finiancial security, ties to his family, sense of failure, moving to a new area, loss of religion (just left in 2005), loss of friends, loss of the familiar, and loss of self worth. However, I will not always feel as I do now. I am doing okay. Grief will not destroy me. I will make it through this experience just as others have before me. Tears are a sign that I am on the way to recovery. I am taking charge of my own grief. I soon hope to reach the place where there are less tears and more laughter. I hope it is soon, thank you to my friends on here for the encouragement and kind words. And my new friends I have made since my move to Tennessee.

Why is it that people who go to church feel you have to belong to a church to be happy?

WT you are correct! They love to make you feel like you are wicked! Don't they? I just can't let people continue to do this to me. I am standing on my own two feet against all of this. I will make up my own mind if I chose to believe in a god or not! I am still looking at all the possible outlooks. The jury is still out on my case right now.

I like to feel like now I can appreciate any and all things since I left the dubs. I have joined a few clubs in my area. Most are just for fun. Some are political. It exposes you to all the different kinds of people out there. There was a speaker that was an astrologist. I told my sister (former Baptist misionary home from assignment in retirement) about it. She freaked out that I might be interested in that again. I have always had an interest in the planets and whether they effect our lives. Anyway, she got down right firm in her speech that it was not true and condemned in the Bible. Who gives a flying f about that? If she didn't have her church to lean on she would be lost. She tells me she is ready to die and only 63. What is up with that? I feel like I can't be myself around her anymore. It is like being judged by the elders or your pioneer pals all over again. I hate that feeling.

I know I live it the Bible belt now but it seems everyone I meet here has this idea that you must belong to some kind of church or you are just out there on your own. Maybe, that I where I want to be right now. I only left in 2005. Still trying to figure out if I believe in anything anymore. The god of the Bible let me down by letting my marriage end. Since he is supposed to hate divorce. There are plenty of churches down here to choose from but none that I feel inclined to go to. I love sleeping in on Sunday. My sister doesn't call me to wake me like she does during the week, she is at church. It is a day to look at the paper and relax.

Thanks, I'm sure there are some who wished I would go away forever. But guess what I have a right to be here, too! I am an ex dub and need to vent just like everyone else does.

So, sorry to hear of the loss of your baby Rocky. If he was a lap cat you will miss that for a long time. I wish animals could live longer or didn't get things that would make them sick. They are just here with us for a little while so enjoy them as long as they are here. I lost a parrot we had for 25 years. She spoke in my voice & my exs. It was so quiet when she died. I kept the radio on for days trying to fill the void. I had no idea how much you can miss a pet like that! I feel your pain troubled mind.

I also had a study while pioneering with a woman in a trailer park. She was very interested of course, her place was such a mess every week. There were always piles of clothes on the chairs and sofa, and don't even think about the coffee table with the ashtray loaded with butts. Sometimes, she would be asleep on the sofa on top of the clothes. My partner and I would move everything from the chairs to sit. We would only take in our books. No bookbag or purse. I put my keys in my pocket for the car. She would always offer something to drink. She had those sodas loaded with sugar in cans. I told her I was diabetic and couldn't have them. Most of the people who would go with me on this study knew not to accept anything. She had several cats, too. It was awful smelling there. She was a large woman that thought she was sexy so she never wore a bra, and she needed one. She was probably drunk most of the time we visited, even first thing in the morning. She had to be called before we came so it got difficult to wake her sometimes. I cut her off when she missed two in a row. When we left we used those wet ones up to our elbows to clean some of the yuck off. Then, we went to a restroom to clean up really good. Thank god we didn't bring out any critters with us.

It's a new year and I'm back on this board. Hope I don't run into the ones that sent me away. I like to talk to others that have been through the same things as I have, leaving the Borg, divorce, having your ex move another into your old house as soon as you move out, you know that kind of stuff. Missed all of you.
