The Passion Christian Hype is Making Me Sick--Thoughts

by blacksheep in

i've seen the passion.

thought i'd be moved.

it supposedly has changed people's lives, caused them to confess sins (actually turned themselves in as criminals), etc.. please, can you explain to me why shindler's list didn't inspire such actions?

I haven't seen it. Don't know if I want to. My brother saw it a few weeks ago, said that it didn't *move* him. Said that if you want to go see a guy get a two hour beating, then go see the movie.

My life is going to have a BIG change soon

most of you on this board know my husband and i have been caring for my aged parents for many years.

mom is 91 and is in assisted living now, since november, when we could no longer fill her care needs.

(my parents have been divorced since 1969 so we weren't separating a married couple, in case you wondered) .

Mulan, you can take great pride that you cared for your parents like you have! You're a great daughter and I'm sure you'll have some adjusting to do after your dad moves out. Your dad sounds like a wonderful and thoughtful man!

You know, come to think of it, running around the house naked, didn't sound like a bad idea!!!

Hope the move runs smoothly and keep us posted.

excuse me if i ramble...this is hard.

i have even avoided threads in the past where others have had to go thru this because i didn't want to face it.

guess i'm a wuss.

Tinkerbell4125

(((((((((((((Bonezz)))))))))))), you have my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.

Know that our thoughts are with you.

...and was accepted for classes starting this summer.

finally at the age of 33, i finally have my situation worked out so i can attend the local university...my kids are all in school now, won't have the guilty feelings resulting from pursuing a worldly career over pioneering now that i'm no longer a jw, etc.

my major will be clinical lab technology-its a two-year degree.

I'm ready to say goodbye!

by Sunnygal41 in

well, tonite, i finally said what i had to say to my live-in.

i've shared just a tiny bit of the insanity i've been thru and put up with with this man...............for three years.. there is a saying when you've had enough, you'll stop.

today, after pacing like a restless tiger in the house and not wanting to do any of the things i suggested, he called a cab and is on his way to buy crack and hang out with an old friend from his past.

Terri, stick to your guns! You've got to be your best friend. Would you want your best friend be in that situation? My father was a alcoholic, drug addict, same thing, and my ex was also. We mere humans tend to lean toward what is most familiar to us! I grew up with a distant, abusive, self destuctive father, that's what I felt comfortable with. Sad but true. Only until I realized that I was worthy of love and happiness, I ended up with true love and happiness. Like Lady Lee said, be good to yourself and expect nothing less than that from others. You can do it!
