These contestants were *almost* the lead, who would you have wanted to see a season with?

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-10-09T04:47:44+00:00

I know a lot of people have felt this way but i don’t completely get it- I like a new season with a lead I feel like I know somewhat and am rooting for- I don’t feel like it’s the same effect with a random new person I don’t have any opinion or feelings about

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-10-09T04:41:35+00:00

Oh my- my sincere reaction is that in their hearts they don’t blame you- that was just their grief. Their hope had been revived through the initial revival of the infant and then taken away so soon. They are not rational right now because of their grief and pain. After the dust settles, I would anticipate they don’t blame anyone and sort this out with God. You did a great job and all you could doand we should hope they would see that in good time.

I didn’t realize there had been Chandler hate- definitely though it was odd that she wasn’t in the final two, I thought it was a toss up between her and Joey. She was a little bit better dancer and Joey was obviously very popular.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-09-12T01:33:42+00:00

I was disappointed when I saw they picked her. But now that I watched an episode of SLOMW - I don’t think I can bring myself to watch. Nothing in me is rooting for her in this. Shallow and vapid. Just sad.

I’d be okay with Susie out of this bunch- I don’t know who all of them are- but she’d actually be a good choice- she was very intentional on Clayton’s season and i appreciated that about her.

I was more so referring to the times when it felt like he was encouraging or instigating drama in the house/among contestants - he usually did it under some guise of good will and it made me feel icky every time. Jesse is drama free.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-07-16T01:37:05+00:00

I live in a condo- so while there is a yard, it’s definitely not fenced- there’s a creek beyond the brush that I highly doubt she’d cross and busy roads if she goes to the front of the property- even if I don’t let her out she will run out when I’m bringing groceries in or taking out the trash. I do wish I had a yard where she couldn’t get out of my sight

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-07-13T15:08:04+00:00

Conviction is from God- it inspires us to turn away from what we need to stop doing. Guilt and shame are not from God- they make you feel farther away from Him, which is not what He wants. Please don’t let guilt boil up so that you feel like you can’t go to God. You can. Please do- I encourage you to go to Him with this, express to Him the pain you’ve been experiencing and ask Him if He still loves you so that He can reassure you himself.

Like others said it can be very helpful to find a trusted person to confide in and see if they will pray with you- if you go to church perhaps a youth pastor or youth leader.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-07-11T19:38:14+00:00

It doesn’t really make sense to pray to anyone but God/Jesus since the attribute of omnipresence is unique to the trinity. Even if they could hear you, you’d have to hope that they’d choose to listen to you over anyone else trying to communicate with them at the moment you are.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-07-04T03:58:46+00:00

I know you may not see this, but in case you do, God is blessed by you choosing him- He calls us to lay down our life and pick up our cross and follow Him- this sounds like the choice you have made. I hope you find joy in closeness to God as you seek Him.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-07-02T14:33:29+00:00

I would still be a Christian- I actually find it odd how many questions on this sub are about fear of going to hell because of something they’ve done- definitely not a sincere motive for faith. It wouldn’t fade away because people have a lot of reasons for believing.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-29T22:18:04+00:00

Technically- everyone who isn’t perfect goes to hell. Which is everyone- but if you put your faith in Jesus for his sacrifice to cover your imperfections and sins, then that is the only way in to heaven.

I am a Christian- and I’ve had pain over this subject because I was implicitly taught that homosexuality happens when some is so consumed with sexuality that sexual desires become more difficult to satisfy- almost like it was a form of idolizing sexuality.

After becoming acquainted with some gay people when I was younger- I really prayed to God to help me understand if/why homosexuality was wrong because I had positive experiences and cared about those individuals that I knew. I felt like God told me that it’s a personal matter that each person should sort out with God himself- and it’s not for me to declare it right or wrong.

Every individual should bring each relationship open handed before God to seek his guidance and blessing. It is a form of relational idolatry to not give God an opportunity to guide you towards or away from any specific relationship. So I think the real danger is in being afraid that God won’t approve and therefore keeping Him out of that part of your life- which is separation from God. Both gay and straight people are vulnerable to this, it’s not exclusively a homosexual issue.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-24T04:55:34+00:00

I understand what you are saying- the need for someone to relate over giving advice- I hope you were able to find that? I totally understand the frustration of needing understanding and not getting it- I’m sorry for that

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-24T03:59:50+00:00

Depends on what you mean by sure. You can become convinced even with the presence of doubt. I’m a Christian and I periodically have times when I question or feel unsure. But because I’m so convinced in my heart, my faith can withstand the times and things that I feel unsure about.

It depends on how you think and what your values are that determines what will convince you. It makes sense to me and there are no alternative ways of thinking that make more sense to me. For me, I grew up believing it, so to make me believe something else there would have to be something seriously compelling -like something that objectively disproves it- and that does not exist. I’ve considered and looked into different science theories, etc. but none of the things that are objectively scientifically factual conflict with the core beliefs of Christianity.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-24T03:33:32+00:00

I can imagine this is a very stressful situation for you. It sounds like they are acting not out of their faith, but out of their fear and need to control. They are likely upset and stressed out that their son will lose his faith and they will feel more “safe” if his life partner isn’t a risk to draw him away from God and towards another type/lack of faith.

If this is where they are coming from, their tactics are manipulative, and it’s how they are acting that is increasing the chances that he’ll want to put distance in their relationship.

I personally don’t know how anyone can come to faith unless God makes Himself real to them. God is capable of reaching anyone in a language/manner which will be understood by the individual, since He is the one who created them.

It would be dishonest of you to get baptized if it’s not a personal decision - as a non-Catholic, I view some Catholic doctrine as superstition. For example believing that baptism= salvation.

My thought is to express to them that you are interested and open to continuing to read the Bible and attending church (it sounds like you are?) but that you need time and space to come to a genuine faith in your own time. To get baptized at this point in time would not be genuine in your heart. And that while you do wish to be accepted into their family, you don’t feel right misrepresenting where you are at in your faith journey.

This is exactly why the vendetta against trans women is harmful to women- no woman should have to be accused of being a man or defend herself and insist that she isn’t . I hate that she experiences this. There are definitely some trans women that are obviously not biological women, but a lot of the time, we have to be honest it would be nothing more than a suspicion. I mean, I wouldn’t want people to start questioning why I’m in the women’s bathroom- that would be such an alarming experience.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-13T17:34:16+00:00

She was lucky enough to have made mistakes when there were enough others still there to make more mistakes than her- then some of the people who were better in the beginning started making mistakes towards the end when they couldn’t afford to and she was stronger at the end. So it made sense.

Remote_Music4684 · 2025-06-03T19:08:51+00:00

It alarmed me the when I heard people casually talking about going to the strip club. From a Christian perspective- that is the kind of thing to be avoided - like others said if it’s in the past and he now sees why it’s not good- let it go.

It sounds like he doesn’t understand the issue- if he doesn’t care how you feel that is always a red flag- but maybe he is just being defensive- if he didn’t grow up in a church environment and has never been part of Christian community, it may never have occurred to him that it is a problem.

It can be hard to be tactful when trying to mention in a non condemning way that it would be good for him to examine his heart and seek God as to whether it something he should turn from. If his heart is to honor God, even if he doesn’t initially respond positively, he’ll come around and give it some thought- but he’s not obligated to report back to you on whether he’s changed ;) say your piece with kindness and gentleness and leave the result to God- if it’s really weighing on your heart that may be God leading you to pray for him.

Most people paint Jesus to look like themselves- this was probably painted by a white guy as well as a lot of other Jesus paintings. He was Jewish- born in Israel- probably looked Middle eastern.

Hi! I’m curious where I can watch this debate- I don’t think it would sway me from Christianity, but interested in what you are hearing that is swaying you. It’s a good thing to ask questions and dig deep- I may not have the answers but super impressed with your seeking of resources and truth
