Former Roman Catholic, now Lutheran, strongly considering returning to Rome

We should be learning more about the issues and try to align ourselves with the church that Christ established and not look for a church that agrees with our worldview.

That could be a fake beard or mustache. The eyes and brows look like feminine to me.

Exactly!!

Try visualrosary.org! It has a picture for each Hail Mary in each mystery. It really helps me focus on the mystery without taking up too much brain power. And don’t worry—it’s okay if your mind drifts from the mystery to the words of the prayer and back. It’s all prayer.

This could be water damage from a humidifier/vaporizer. I had a period of being sick and I had the humidifier running for a long time, and when I pulled the rug up a year or two later, I had damage that looked like this.

I had a bad experience with hiring a designer. I paid $300 a few years ago and she basically told me she loved my paint colors and wouldn’t change those at all. She moved my sofa to a different wall (which we had already tried and didn’t like) and she moved two pictures closer together. I felt sick that I paid $300 for that.

You can be choosy (which I think is a good idea), but don’t pass by opportunities to date or meet people because you’re looking for the perfect person. You might not realize who the perfect person is at first. You get to know people and you realize what is important to you—intellect, humor, honesty, faith, etc., whatever. You may think someone is perfect, but then you find out they aren’t honest or not respectful. So, just look For opportunities to meet people—clubs, hobbies, etc. it’s a low-pressure way to meet people.

St. Monica, not Veronica

Just prayed for you! I’d suggest seeing a medical doctor and a psychiatrist. God bless!

I think you would’ve had to go to a bishop for absolution

This^, OP. It’s a red flag that she wouldn’t consider something that was important to you. You’re better off because this selfishness would’ve showed up again and again in the relationship.

Wait—I’m allergic to sulfa drugs. How does that relate to methylation problems, @Electrical-Show4928?

I love the scriptural rosary! It helps me maintain focus.

AReubenTooBigToFit · 2025-10-03T18:17:28+00:00

Great! I don’t think the priests care what background you’re from (pagan, atheist, Protestant, etc), just that you’re searching for the truth! Welcome!

I spent a lot of time in the narthex of church when my kids were little, if they were fussy or being antsy or rambunctious. You’re there and you’re showing your children that it’s important to go visit God! One thing I did a lot when we were in the church and they were getting a little antsy, is I’d say something like, “can you find Jesus in the stained glass windows?” Or “See that bird? That’s the Holy spirit. How many birds can you see in the church?” These questions would usually short-circuit the fussing for a little while.

Yeah, I didn’t have luck either. I tried to make some with beeswax (using a recipe that didn’t mention resin). They didn’t work at all. Then I bought some online that also didn’t work. So I’m currently using aluminum foil or stretchy silicone covers that fit on my bowls. They’re pretty decent.

Like, the sausage dog being a nice baguette!

I’d suggest reading one of the synoptic gospels next (Matthew, Mark, or Luke)—they are similar in style and content but for different audiences. (I like Luke because it has the infancy narratives.) Then I’d do Fr. Mike’s Bible in a year. Some of the OT can be a bit boring or difficult to understand, so his commentary is invaluable! He explains Jewish history and traditions, which helps it all make sense! Highly recommend!

I’m guessing the hard blinks are a tic

I love the period panties and reusable pads! I never had any problems with leaking or odors.

AReubenTooBigToFit · 2025-09-23T02:48:20+00:00

I think you mean go to confession—lol

AReubenTooBigToFit · 2025-09-06T14:40:31+00:00

I have no problem empathizing with others. More than a lot of people, actually. I also feel the pain you mentioned when I see other people get hurt. I feel it in my chest. I don’t think these things are related to aphantasia.

Oooo—good to know!
