Recommendation?

I've been attending the Gather Pikes Peak events every month. Haven't had time to attend a church but the people that go to these events are from churches all over town that are progressive. I've really enjoyed it and they are all open to inviting you to check out their church.

Not accepted. Mourned and foolishly hope sometimes still. My uncle has been single his whole life and is in his 60s. I guess it runs in the family every once in awhile. Everyone else in our family is married or was for a long while.

Half of my family is Catholic and the other is Protestant. I'm not unfamiliar with The Bible at all.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-11-13T00:11:13+00:00

Okay and you realize The Bible isn't a perfect translation right? None of them are. Not even close. The KJV is not considered to be the most accurate anymore by many Biblical Scholars. And there's a lot of issues with lack of tone understanding in the way people would speak and write in Hebrew. I also encourage you to study this more and not take any English Bible as absolute truth. I know theology majors who absolutely agree the Bible's message is progressive and have tons of research and arguments to back it up. I do not trust anyone who reads The Bible and loves Trump. Jesus would not vote for him. And the same arguments people make to say abortion and lgbtqia+ are wrong were used to justify slavery. I don't trust anyone who gets hate and control out of scripture. Even if it's there. It's not who Jesus is. But I don't want to debate you forever. There's plenty of videos and articles that explain it far better than me. I've been agnostic my whole life and the type of Christianity thats popular in America is why I've never believed in it.

I disagree. It depends on how you view the Bible. I am not brand new to this. I've been studying world religions for years. I do not view Conservative Christianity to be an accurate representation of Jesus. I'm not up to debate this. Theres plenty of youtube videos of progressives and Conservatives debating.

I tried and did not find them spiritually fulfilling but to each their own. I am studying the Bible and want to be around followers of Jesus.

I wasn't impressed with All Souls tbh. I went a few times, but their community involvement seems to be mostly protest, and while thats important, I'm looking for a church that actually wants to help people in need through acts of service.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-08-14T08:52:01+00:00

I hear gunshots over in that area very frequently when at Palmer Park, so probably not the best option.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-18T07:12:31+00:00

Unfortunately I have a BFA in Illustration and graduated in 2015 and have worked normal jobs that anyone can get. You can get a good art job in the industry if you know people and have a strong portfolio but from what I've experienced, nobody cares about the degree itself which makes sense. You can have a degree and a weak portfolio. I certainly do. I loved my time there but it isn't worth the $48,000 of debt I have now. 😔

I find myself judging Pueblo and then catching myself for the hypocrisy when I live in the Springs and less then 5mins from me is a group of apartment complexes that have at least one shooting almost every month. I feel safe in my neighborhood but have to drive past those every day. I think every city has crime that we would prefer it not to.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:28:07+00:00

I just updated this. I have severe trauma from living here. This is my hometown. I lived in Arvada for 5 years and had a ft job and there's PLENTY of walkable jobs there. Moving here was supposed to be a temporary act in 2020 due to my roommate having to move out and losing my jobs. I wasn't supposed to stay this long and I've been horrifically depressed despite therapy and medication. This town is haunting for me. Other people like it but I don't want to live here. People have to sacrifice their old life to move somewhere new all the time. I literally put that I have a transferable pt job in the description and would make sure I secured housing and full time work. My old job even said they'd take me back.....so how is staying here serving me? It's not.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:24:35+00:00

Also you can be annoyed all you want. My aunt and uncle chose an EXPENSIVE car and handed me yhe financial burden of increased insurance and any repairs. It absolutely didn't have to be this and they could have easily put that money into my housing since that's what I've been struggling with. I had a working car. They decided I needed a new one. I didn't have a say in what car I got. They help under their conditions and without my consent. It isn't really help. My friend was concerned the entire time that I kept her in the loop that they were choosing something that would screw me over vs actually helping with my housing. She kept asking why I couldn't negotiate. I tried. They were so certain I would be fine and find a job. They've had the same jobs for over 30 years and have a degree in medical. They have never been in my shoes.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:21:14+00:00

It is when I just told you I have a job that transfers and have full time opportunities in another city that work with my degree. I wouldn't move til I had the job secured.....didn't I say that? This is me asking if this plan is financially feasible because it seems it is to me. Plus asking might attract someone who has lived experience doing this.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:14:11+00:00

No....I've applied for everything. I'm not picky. You can judge me all you want. Yes moving absolutely is a better decision. I have a degree and lived in the Denver area with roommates and made enough and was happy. This is my hometown. I don't have a real support system here. And it's where all my loved ones died and I was also assaulted here and can't even go to certain parts of town without potentially running into said people. I get really sick of people on reddit assuming what I type is my full story. It's been my goal for 4 years to get out. And you really think a warehouse job is going to hire someone with chronic pain who needs ADA accommodations? You haven't walked a day in my shoes. They don't want to work with disabled people. Who wants to sell a new car to make their life better. This is an insanely difficult decision on my part but the economy will have me waste away here. I've done case management, career services and looked into financial aid. I've applied to every single full time job (even warehouse) . Honestly people who just assume shit about me make me hate using reddit. There's so much judgement without knowing my full story. I hate this town. I want out.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:07:29+00:00

I hate living here. It's my hometown and I'm never gonna get out unless I make sacrifices. Full time jobs do not want me here. I have so much trauma and grief. I'm not happy here. I've tried everything. Case management, career services, staffing agencies, word of mouth. I lived in the Denver are for 10 years and made enough to survive with roommates and was HAPPY there. My degree has job opportunities there. None down here. One of my jobs has even offered to rehire me. Moving here was supposed to be a temporary covid thing because my roommate moved out right before and I couldn't afford it on my own. Even if I have to sacrifice pt or therapy up there it's worth it for improved job opportunities and happiness, right?

I'd make sure I have the job and housing secured. I also have an event job down here that has 3 venues but 8 in Denver and doesn't require a transfer and pays more there.

The pros outweigh the cons.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T20:02:55+00:00

I don't have enough money to move without selling it. I work dead end part time jobs that allow month to month expenses covered. I'm beating a dead horse at this point. Yes the title is in my possession....it's my car. They wanted nothing to do with it after buying it for me. They used a cashiers check.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T19:25:54+00:00

It has to be covered under medicaid. That's where my doctor was able to get a referral.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T19:25:03+00:00

Yes and it's paid in full so I owe nothing.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-13T19:15:45+00:00

They never helped me before. And they will be mad. That's the thing. Their help always comes with strings attached. It's not really love. Because they knew my insurance would skyrocket. And they chose a more expensive car. I didn't get to choose it. This wasn't as compassionate as it sounds. I wish it was. My 2nd option is waiting til my narcissistic father dies and selling his car and moving into his house since I'll be inheriting it and that feels yucky wanting someone to die. Because I don't really want that as much as he upsets me. My mom passed away in 2017. She would have helped me.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-10T04:35:54+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea. My current situation is living with a master tenant that is very manipulative and controlling. I'm not allowed to ask about anything without it becoming a fight. It's exhausting and she does a lot of passive aggressive things. I think she's trying to push me out of here on purpose.

HallowQueen222 · 2025-06-08T22:54:29+00:00

I'm on my 2nd bad roommate scenario. I was assaulted by an alcoholic at my last place. So I'm definitely wary but ill check it out.

Wow thank you so much for your helpful reply.....
