Where's the faith board?

Oh, teacher, teacher, he was mean to me. I can't even believe this. I was going to say a bunch of lightweights, but I'll change to whiners. Wow. ...

I am a 60-some-year-old woman who has no faith and no belief in God. I want to, I really do, but it's just not there. I went regularly to a Methodist church as a child, but not a particularly religious upbringing. I don't really remember what if any religious thoughts I had as a child. When I married, I converted to Catholicism simply because my husband was Catholic, though really in name only. We raised our two daughters as Catholic and they went to Catholic school and we att ...

I hope this will not be long. I just feel lost in my faith. I grew up in a home where we gave thanks to the Lord, we were not getting on our knees every hour saying praise the Lord :-), but we said prayers at dinner, church and sunday school every week from time I could walk til graduation in high school. Grandma was a sunday school teacher at an episcopalean church and played the organ/piano there, we went to Sunday church dinners and stuff like that. Then around grade 5 ...

I was leaving for work this morning (it was mid-morning, I was goingin late as I had to wait for the gas company to come) and I saw 4 well-dressed people exit a car. I immediately guessed correctly what they were doing, they were going to go to knock on doors to share their sects magazines. They stopped me as I was walking through the parking lot and were very friendly, so I was friendly back to them. I went ahead and took their papers and didn't bother to say anything about not b ...

~Faith~ It's all about believing - You don't know how it will happen, but you know it will. Your Faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them. Happy Friday!! :) ...

I got divorced 4 years ago. He has been nothing but a class A total jerk. He has since gotten remarried and she has caused trouble also. She is psycho to say the least. He has become crazy, as well. I divorced him because he had posted pornographic pics of himself on the internet and I found them. He took them when the kids were home and could have seen the pics or gotten up in the middle of the night and seen him being perverted. I got the kids in couns ...

What do you think when someone that's going through something horrible says 'God is testing me, my faith'? It's one of the many reasons I doubt there's a God....if there were, and one is a believer, why should they be tested? Sounds like torment to me, and why would someone that loves his children torment them in such a way? Would God (if there is a God) be so insecure that he'd need constant proof of one's faith? I thought God knows everything? So wouldn ...

So many bad things are happening in my life right now including losing my home to foreclosure because of cuts in pay most MTs have experienced. I feel helpless and hopeless. I thought God would take care of his faithful children. Ask and you shall receive. Jesus came to earth so I might have a more abundant life. So many people hurting I would like to help but I am unable to financially. Just keeping my head barely above water and for the first time in my lif ...

Without going into all the devastating facts of what Nuance is doing to its domestic workforce, suffice it to say that I am a victim of the latest pay downgrade and am losing faith that something better will come my way. I am not looking to discuss ways to find another job (at this point). I am looking for ways to improve, increase and strengthen my faith in the Lord. I am a believer, but I am just struggling right now. Thank you. P.S. If you are atheist or have something negative to ...

I hear so often we should follow what God tells us to do in our daily life. How do we know what is right when we are faced with very hard circumstances? We are told that if we listen to what God says we will make the right choices. If we pray for guidance, how do we know what to do? ...

Galatians 5:22-23 "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. MM has hurt a lot of people for a long time, the treatment is wrong, the pay is a disg ...

I am always encouraged by stories of answered prayer, so I want to share one so others can be encouraged, too. A couple of weeks ago, I stopped at the supermarket on my way home from walking the dog in the park. When I came out of the store, my car would not start. Of course, this was one of the few days my husband was able to get work and he was at least an hour away. When I tried to call him, I got an automated message that I did not have enough minutes on my prepaid phone t ...

I haven't been to this board in a long while. This is not of high importance, but it bothers me (feeling less than loved) and I'd like to know if that is understandable or if my feelings are wrong. My son-in-law was in construction not long ago (changed occupation). Was told by my daughter he didn't have time to help with installing cabinents for us. So, okay, I accepted that, and have been struggling to find an affordable option instead. Now I learn that ...

"...the ability to act on their core beliefs. that is what faith is about. The best of our faith...all faiths... is when people act on their core beliefs..or to do whatever they think is right based on their faith." This is problematic. Hitler? I'm sure J. Bush means well. He just doesn't see this is problematic. Hitler (I hope) is extreme, but anyone, anywhere can call up faith and belief as their justification for their actions. I suspect ...

Naghmeh Abedini came to my church on Monday night for a prayer service for her husband and other persecuted Christians around the world. Her husband, Saeed Abedini, who is an American pastor, has been imprisoned in Iran on some trumped-up charges, but he really has been locked up for his Christian faith. He has been there for just over 3 years now. However, it is doubtful the Iranian government has any intention of letting him leave once his 8-year sentence is up because they h ...

I had replied to the poster on the faith board regarding the religious part of her post. Here is the part that pertains to the political portion of her post: It's not hard at all to understand why people will support Gov. Romney for president. He has the experience, knowledge. He understand issues the American people are facing. He has ideas on how to put people back to work. Mr. Romney will have people of all races and women in his cabinets. He will not rule the country acco ...

The pro-abortion congresswoman from San Francisco cites Gospel of Matthew to support more government spending for children (those who are already born). Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) politicized faith at a rally in Los Angeles on Sunday. Pelosi used Christianity as her defense for Democratic proposals during a political rally about ending childhood poverty. Pelosi mentioned that it was Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, which culminates with Easter the following Sunday. “I didn ...

I suffer from debilitating menstrual cramps, like I cannot even stand up straight. I usually take Toradol, which helps me. Yesterday, though, I couldn't get in to see my doctor for a refill and I was having horrible cramps. I went to the ER and saw the ER physician who gave me a shot of narcotics and (obviously) that made my pain go away. He also gave me a prescription for the same narcotic to use as needed (I only usually take 4 Toradol at most each month, ...

The following has been done. 1. Deleted all condescending remarks to other posters or making fun of them. 2. Deleted all bickering. 3. Edited/deleted any words altering a political parties name to something obscene. 4. Deleted comments that have nothing to do with the subject matter being discussed. 5. Deleted obscene pics of political people. In other words, if you insult other posters or if you are not talking about the subject being discussed your post was edited/deleted. Peo ...

No debates, just argumentative people who ridicule others here. I found another political site that has sensible debates and don't ridicule those who have opinions differing from themselves. Only a few I'll miss on here: RC, Trigger Happy, and The Sarge and a couple others that really don't use a moniker that I can remember. LOL Good luck to those who decide to stay. ...

With condescending, snide remarks. Here goes: Someone is upset that someone wrote a poster did not get something, figures. But ya'll are okay with: "The positions you state have about as much intellectual integrity as jello" (to spell it out - you are stupid (i.e. no intellect)) Well, darn, that's a great story, but I can't ''like'' it because - I know you meant it as ridicule (The whole post ridiculing what the OP posted, yet not talking about ...

Had a job interview on Friday. Really liked the manager and would love to work there. I was 1 of 7 people he interviewed for his assistant. Today, Tuesday, he is to go over his "notes" and make his decision. I am in my late 50's and not expecting to get the job. Too many "younger" people with better computer skills. I hate the thought of having to go through the whole process of interviews, etc. I have not looked for a job in over 15 yea ...

I started looking at this board mostly to see different people's thoughts and perspectives about this year's Presidential election. Instead, for the most part I found snarky - and even frequently way beyond the bounds of civility - comments and wild speculation, uninformed claims backed by absolutely no presentation of facts, focus on items of a ridiculously low level of importance to our survival as a country and a world leader, and apparently little respect for - primarily - De ...

What if you saw an ad like this on Jobs Wanted: Old worn-out and partially deaf MT seeking unrewarding job with harsh work conditions. Prefer long hours and mush-mouth or Mickey mouse dictators. Also prefer demanding, irrational and unreasonable managers who fire employees at drop of a hat. I enjoy being kept in the dark and having complete silence when asking for assistance. I am also partially blind, so don't expect miracles. If the above qualifications meet your job requirement ...
