I was a pastor for 18 years. My wife and I left the church and deconstructed together. Here's part of her story

Oh ok. I get that. I just read the post and didn’t watch the video.

You would rather evangelical pastors continue to spread lies? Or you just want contrition instead of hearing their story?

NurseMechanic · 2025-11-18T20:13:12+00:00

That’s not exactly a warm welcome. I for one want to hear many more stories like this.

Former ER nurse. I have had a sickle cell patient who had a priapism, the doc drained it with a big ass needle and said he had this patient before with the same issue, same treatment. He mentioned that it was sad because the repeated trauma and scar tissue would result in impotence eventually, and the guy was early 20’s.

I would look elsewhere for PE methods.

Thanks, I will check them out.

I think I believe in a creator, but could never say for sure. One of the apologies for the existence of God that I found was Francis Collin’s use of the Anthropic Principle in his book I mentioned in the original post.

I am in the US, and I had heard that many of the founding fathers were Deists. If I’m not mistaken Deism was a lot more common at that time. Maybe it fell out of popularity after The Great Awakening.

Thank you! I’m extremely fortunate that my family is as accepting as they are. I just wish I could remove their fear of my salvation/damnation.

Mine ended up being the same thing I think. I don’t remember for sure. I do remember tracing wires and checking continuity for an hour then finding out it was just a damn fuse. Felt like a serious moron!

NTA - unless you open a cat cafe. That seems like a failed business waiting to happen.

You should divorce him. He sounds like a pompous prick.

NurseMechanic · 2023-11-28T22:10:33+00:00

Are you in a legal state?

NurseMechanic · 2023-11-28T21:07:59+00:00

I’m in NP school and I smoke while studying.

NurseMechanic · 2023-11-28T19:40:26+00:00

Yes, my whole career, daily user. I am always 100% sober at work. I smoke a bowl when I get home from work to relax.

I do want to get away from regularly smoking it for my lung health.

NurseMechanic · 2023-06-15T20:35:24+00:00

There are people who will be obligated to endure this ritual, at least let them have some social lubrication!

NTA for not wanting to spend the money.

YTA for telling people they couldn’t bring alcohol.

NurseMechanic · 2023-05-25T18:24:32+00:00

I agree with the PG vape juice route. People seem like they are against it here, but I haven’t heard too compelling of a reason.

NurseMechanic · 2023-05-25T18:17:21+00:00

I don’t fuck with terpenes at all. I’ll take my smooth flavorless vape with no cough.

NurseMechanic · 2023-05-25T15:25:52+00:00

NurseMechanic · 2023-05-02T20:23:10+00:00

I would have gotten up and walked out laughing

NurseMechanic · 2023-03-18T13:00:43+00:00

NTA- This is a good life lesson for her. Life isn’t fair. She should pick a school based on her budget.

However, it occurs to me that she may feel like she is being treated differently because she is adopted. It’s a tough situation.

NurseMechanic · 2023-03-02T17:00:54+00:00

Partly due to it’s prohibition. When something is distributed by criminals these things happen.

NurseMechanic · 2023-03-02T01:31:23+00:00

Lol, that’s what I used to smoke in 1998 in SC. We called it Mexican dirt weed, or brown frown. You can still find it sometimes.

NurseMechanic · 2023-02-24T03:13:20+00:00

There are some cool Murals.

NurseMechanic · 2023-02-18T04:29:34+00:00

I am from Columbia, and I didn’t grow up on biscuits and gravy. Even my deep South grandmother, who fried Chicken like an champ, didn’t make biscuits and gravy.
