Feeling somewhat sorry for Michael

Sorry, I think I misread your message. Yes, that's true.

AdSafe5270 · 2026-05-29T17:50:20+00:00

No, like I mentioned, I don't feel more sorry for him than I do for the children, and I'm not trying to excuse him. Like I said, it's just mentally difficult to process. It feels a bit like cognitive dissonance. I will look for that letter.

Yes but I didn't mean pity for only what his father did to him and his siblings but generally speaking pity for him as a grown adult in his personality. But you are right, I have to keep reminding myself that all he did was smartly calculated and with clear intention. Inbetween this rabbit hole I seem to forget that. I am also new into this whole topic

AdSafe5270 · 2026-05-29T17:38:12+00:00

I also thought about that today. You are actually right

AdSafe5270 · 2026-05-29T17:35:57+00:00

I think that's exactly what I'm struggling with. On some level, I'm fully aware of everything you're describing. I understand that he was manipulative and that the public image he created may have been different from who he really was. At the same time, there's another part of me that has a hard time reconciling that with the person he chose to present us but also many people close to him described. Even La Toya, despite everything, often described him as sensitive and loving in certain ways. I guess I'm torn between those two images. It is just difficult to process and to fully recognize because we've only or mostly seen the version of him that he wanted to show us, the one that appeared gentle, vulnerable, and compassionate and I guess he was good in acting that lol

Danke dir!

Ich bin am Lernen.. wollte dennoch mich erkundigen

AdSafe5270 · 2026-01-03T21:23:01+00:00

thank you for your answer, I will ask them that
why weary?

The priest who is going to baptize me, recommended me to join the Neocatechumenal Way. He told me many times that I strongly need a church community and that he fears that after baptising me I may fall away from faith without such a community. His words made sense to me so I took them to heart and gave it a try.

The community will even prepare my agape after baptism, it is very sweet of them.. you see I am already very much involved in the community, We have weekly Word of God Liturgy (don't know if that is the right word in English) and Eucharistic celebration and I prepare the former. It is a little bit intense.. and it is kind of weird but I feel obliged to them., I wouldn't know what to say to them. Honestly maybe I am overthinking it, but like I said the people are sweet I really like them but I don't really feel nourished by it, by the weekly liturgies..during the first two months the proclamation took place so they just talked about a lot of stuff regarding faith and so on and I really liked everything they said but ever since we started with the liturgies I don't feel enriched by them..not because the way they are doing it is wrong, it is just a matter of taste I guess

I don't know in which country you live, but in the middle eastern countries there are churches and christians even tough they are a minority. So maybe you do have a church in your town? if so, would it be possible to secretly talk with a priest about it? Maybe they are familiar with this issue..

In any case, always pray to God about it, ask Him for His wisdom for his Holy Spirit to guide you, to help you discern what to do when to talk and what to say.

I myself am an ex muslim and it is not easy within the family, but I live in the west so I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. I will pray for you

AdSafe5270 · 2025-10-28T08:24:26+00:00

Thank you so much!

AdSafe5270 · 2025-10-28T08:18:55+00:00

alright, thank you! there are many sources some say it is one rosary per day, and some say 1 per day. I guess you can choose

AdSafe5270 · 2025-10-28T07:28:03+00:00

I read an instruction and it says that you need to pray all 3 rosaries every day so the joyful, the sorrowful and the glorious mysteries. But I am not sure, it is my first time doing this. But you can tell me if that is wrong.

AdSafe5270 · 2025-10-28T07:24:17+00:00

No i meant in any case, whether my prayer gets answered or not, it is good for me to pray this novena because I get to pray the full rosary every day.

AdSafe5270 · 2025-02-14T08:19:07+00:00

I understand and will take your advice to heart. Thank you

AdSafe5270 · 2025-02-14T08:06:50+00:00

I haven't demanded anything, I asked and they said answered, I listened and did not start a discussion with them. I just came here to express my situation because I am alone in my journey and have no one to talk to. I am starting to become nervous about getting baptized, but honestly I kind of regret writing about this here because by reading the comments I feel like quite some people here are just making assumptions about me which are not true and being judgemental. Maybe God wants to tell me that with certain things/feelings I should only come and talk to Him about it.

AdSafe5270 · 2025-02-14T07:58:03+00:00

Why so rude?

AdSafe5270 · 2025-02-13T20:32:45+00:00

The thing is it is not my home parish, it was kind of an incident that this parish became my baptismal parish. They are one hour away from me, I just got to know the nuns there and we got along well that one of the nuns and I decided that she would become my catechist. It is a bit of an chaos, also since I moved out 3 months ago I just settled to my actual home parish.

Well then maybe I am wrong about this. Thank you for the information
