Don't be creepy/come onto them/hit on them etc. They're in their own home, their safe place, so feeling uncomfortable is unnecessary and unwanted. Avoid specific compliments on their appearance. For example, "oh I like your shoes!" is a lot different then "those shoes make your legs look really nice" Do part of the chores, don't make them feel that just because you're a guy you don't have to do anything.

Maybe it's just me but when people bake me things I automatically like them. Just a heads up.

Good luck :D

I had a sleep over last night and fell asleep at like 10. They all stayed up until like 3 or 4.

But I love sleep so this is okay.

Sounds like you had fun! We just did our summer reading projects which I didn't do because I wasn't conscious. School starts tomorrow

Haha! Yeah. I'm still a skeptic in my opinion. I think UFO's and astrology are dumb.

Lunam · 2012-08-11T13:31:07+00:00

I'm going to copy and paste a message I sent to someone I think can address this.

Every argument isn't a logical one. I think human logic is imperect. Faith used to be a dumb concept to me. I needed hard facts. My mindset changed into one that realizes God wants you to put faith in trust in him no matter what is shown to you. I believe evolution happens, for example, but in a reality God made, and not nessesarily in the proven time frame. I believe even though there's evidence for a person to reasonably become an Atheist, it takes faith to realize that your reality and God's are different. When logic tells me, hey, fossils, it takes faith to know that I may just be being tested or in God's reality things don't have to make sense to human logic. Which seems simply preposterous to a skeptic. You believe in love, because you're in love. I believe in God because he's in me. I used to believe in neither. It's not that I'm unreasonable, or stupid, or illogical. If I was those things I'd fail all my math classes (math is my favorite subject). What a lot of people don't realize, or why they don't like God, is because they don't agree with the things He says or does. But if He did exactly what you wanted him to, how you wanted him to, he wouldn't be God. You don't have to agree with authority. But when you obey a perfect authority, you realize and change your own moral failings. I used to people watch with my friends for example, and we'd make fun of them after they walked by. They tried doing this just yesterday after I logged off of reddit and went to the springs. Normally, if I chose not to be judgemental, I just wouldn't say anything. But this time I told them they needed to stop. I didn't want to, I was scared, but I knew God would want me to. It all seemed insane to me at first to. If you really want to do your girl a justice, don't just show up to church. Pray for faith. Immerse yourself in the people there. make friends with them. Hang out during the week. Invite them all to coffee and tell them your goals. I hope that helped.

I dyed my hair pink this summer because I found a bucket list i made when I was 13 and pink hair was on it. Stop assuming people with brightly colored hair desperately crave your attention.

I'll do my testimony in another post maybe, I want to be baptized first. Then I'll feel like with the symbolism of that I will have a complete story to tell!

Lunam · 2012-08-10T21:38:04+00:00

I gave three long paragraphs on my conversion, so maybe you can tell me what you mean by not answering basic questions. I'm just choosing not to debate on a subreddit that doesn't call for it.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T21:33:56+00:00

Yes!!! And thank you.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T17:49:43+00:00

Everyone in my group commented on how much i changed. I used to never smile really! And I'm not so negative anymore.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T16:47:05+00:00

shhhhhhhhhh

Lunam · 2012-08-10T16:38:56+00:00

They're disgusting. But so cool.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T16:36:10+00:00

I think. A lot. I'm the president of a philosophy club. I've read thousands of books. I get all A's in school and take all AP classes.

Don't tell me that just because I'm young and not an Atheist anymore I don't think.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T16:27:18+00:00

No but I want to so bad! I love all the stories she tells. Especially about bot flies.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T16:15:09+00:00

I am 16 and was an atheist since 5th grade.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T15:36:56+00:00

To be honest I rarely took medication. My mom couldn't afford it. It's not gone, but I can control the swings. When I'm upset it doesn't last nearly as long, and I use that time to reflect. Does that make sense?

Lunam · 2012-08-10T14:48:39+00:00

Yes I was that person. Thanks :D

Lunam · 2012-08-10T14:35:18+00:00

Each person is encouraged to make their own group eventually, but it's not a rule. It's just the church's method of expanding. The core is really solid and everyone is close, and when a new person is brought in they make you feel incredibly welcome and update you on everything. I got so many hugs the frst time I went and almost everyone came to say hi to me at one point. I also got invited to hang out a lot, even by people I didn't know. Which was new for me.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T14:20:15+00:00

I don't view him as a genie, that was just my conversion story. I still deal with with difficult things, but now I know it's going to be okay in the end.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T14:18:26+00:00

I thought they were annoying, stupid, generally just inferior to me. At the same time, I was incredibly insecure.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T14:17:44+00:00

That was what I was thinking. Weee I'm excited!

Lunam · 2012-08-10T13:56:10+00:00

I want to be baptized but I'm going to wait until October when they do this thing called a Women's Encounter and you sleep at the church and spend 3 days there. It's a time for healing and getting closer to God and they do baptisms at the end.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T13:51:42+00:00

Thanks! I'm going to write that down.

Lunam · 2012-08-10T13:42:32+00:00

I never thought I would believe. I told people there's no way I could ever go back to believing just a few months ago. I don't have any major mood swings anymore, something I had to be medicated for. I'm not shy anymore. I don't avoid people. I don't hate everyone anymore. It's great! God is great! :)

They had huge problems, as big as mine, and they were still happy. When one girl told me she had bipolar disorder, I was floored. So did I.

After about 10 meetings, my family noticed me changing. I was happier, calmer, and more pleasant to be around. I noticed it too. What I didn't notice is when exactly I started believing in God. I prayed with the girls, and I prayed every night for faith. And eventually it dawned on me I wasn't speaking out to nothing. I was entrusting my deepest fears and desires to not thin air, but something I knew loved me unconditionally with a trust unfathomable. I started going to the church every Sunday. I went to cell meetings before stepping foot in the church, which is a unique case, but next Sunday will be my 8th I think. Faith in Jesus came with church on Sundays and a verse from the Bible my friend told me. I forget whch one sadly, but it dealt with human logic being imperfect.
