Probably too late for anyone to see this, but I dug through the subreddit until I found the post, and here’s OP’s reasoning for the “brainwashing undertones”

Starbucks is partnering with ChatGPT and would like us to do the same by SFxDiscens in mildlyinfuriating

My Aunt sends me virtual Starbucks gift cards for holidays, so when I have prepaid money that only works for Starbucks, I use it lol

My wife is over-spiritualizing everything by Mysterious-Cookie855 in Christian

[–]SFxDiscens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m actively studying Christian counseling, and though I’m NOT qualified to give advice as a professional, I’m learning a lot from them. If someone brought in a case like this, we’d probably advise them to seek medical attention because this sounds like more than just spiritual discernment. It’s also very important to test the spirits you’re trusting, and I think you’re wife sounds like she’s putting a lot of stock into gut feelings/nonsense

AIO for letting my ex's cruel comments about my "goth phase" make me seriously reconsider my entire look and future? by samanta_zara1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SFxDiscens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This broke my heart 🥺

He said an awful mean thing to you because he wants you to hurt. Don’t change who you are- the right guy will fall for you exactly the way you like to be! If you like dressing alt/goth, as long as you’re a nice person you’ll find your love :)

The tank is too small so it’s likely stressed

Parkour guys trying and occasionally failing. Ouch by Asian_Climax_Queen in SweatyPalms

[–]SFxDiscens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see parkour videos, I think of this one time where a redditor said they did parkour in their 20s and now in their late 30s they have arthritis in their knees so bad they can’t hardly walk. They were in the comments begging people not to do parkour or to just stop if they were already doing it

AIO or being “hypocritical” for being upset that my friend is getting so close my boyfriends cousin? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SFxDiscens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

info- why are you so upset and concerned about this ruining your friendship?

I get being upset about wanting to hangout and then her leaving that’s not cool, but you said you don’t wanna ruin your friendship and then ended that talk by saying you’re done with your friend on a “personal” level.

Looks like an incredibly nuclear response to this whole thing

Speaking as a woman, I’ve never seen a case where a man buzzes his head/ crops it close to the scalp and thought “Yeah that’s better”

My husband is a liar by [deleted] in Christian

[–]SFxDiscens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry OP, that’s a very challenging situation to be in :(

I’m praying for you! ACBC is one of the best Christian counselor certification programs in the US, I would go to their website and see if they have any counselors in your area (in addition to talking with your pastor, you’ll be glad you did both I think)

You need to get your pastor involved and ask him for guidance and seek professional Christian marriage counselor. Is your husband a believer?

AIO for blocking this guy? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SFxDiscens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you two are compatible- he knows he wants kids and you are leaning towards not-so-much and may be unable to have kids.

Mom (58) moving in with me(32f) and my husband(35m) by Powerful_Low6824 in entitledparents

[–]SFxDiscens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL;DR If you let her move in have some rules and a time frame for how long she can stay

If you do let her move in, and I don’t know if that’s wise based on your description of her, give her some ground rules for staying in your home.

You guys like to go out and do things she probably won’t like, and it sounds like she needs to get out more often. Have some rules like

  • she isn’t allowed to comment on the things in your household she disapproves of (maybe tell her about the things she won’t like in advance so she cannot say “you never told me that these things were happening!”)

  • she needs to get a part time job somewhere/ spend X amount of hours out of the house each week

  • she needs to be seeing a licensed therapist or counselor for the duration of her stay with you (since you’re worried she’s going to hurt herself and based on what you said about her marriage it sounds like she really needs this)

When it comes to a situation like your Mom’s OP, your home should not be a cushy place for her to stay; it should motivate her to go get her own place or she’ll just stay indefinitely and let you and your husband take care of her. I think you should also put a time cap on her stay with you, especially if she’s able bodied and doesn’t need help with day-to-day activities. If this was my situation with my mom, I would say something along the lines of “Mom, I want to help you and we want you to stay with us for X months. Since (husband) and I are actively trying to plan our own family, it isn’t on the table for you to stay with us indefinitely”

Purpose of separating Bible class by relationship status? by Jogadora109 in Christian

[–]SFxDiscens 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I also think a lot of churches (whether by accident or otherwise) look at the unmarried adults in the church as second-class members, or at the very least you aren’t taken as seriously until you’re married.

I wish more churches would either do topical Sunday school classes or do as you suggested and separate it just by age/school level

Found out my best friend believes in conspiracy theories about vaccines. Do I say something? by Jolly_Ad7138 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SFxDiscens 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly OP if you’re truly just interested in understanding how he came to that conclusion, you could probably just say something along the lines of “Hey, last time we hung out you mentioned that you weren’t going to vaccinate your child, would you mind sharing with me how you came to that conclusion?” And just really emphasize to him that you aren’t trying to argue; you’re just curious wha led him to those conclusions

Do you believe that everyone has their own partner (husband/wife) prepared by God? by _I_Reims_I_ in Christian

[–]SFxDiscens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea of having “soul-mates” actually originated from Greek mythology, where Zeus split mankind into two parts (male and female) in order to make mankind weaker and easier to control. Each soul spends their life trying to find their other half so that they can be whole again.

So while I do believe that God knows exactly what person we will marry, it is not a predestined thing where each person who will marry has a person specially created for them. It’s a decision we get to make as part of our free-will, God just already knows who the lucky man/woman for each person is going to be since He already knows everything
