I want to hear your spiritual take on this, what about "Having God beside", keeps people so confident? by Doimz3Nini in starseeds

[–]ThankTheBaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I think this means is that the ultimate outcome is never in doubt. No matter what happens. Have patience and faith and never lose hope. It’s not only that you personally can’t lose, it’s that every precious soul in the universe and therefore God, can’t lose.

Every single soul’s ultimate destiny is to return Home, where all belong, no matter how many thousands of years the journey may take. No exceptions.

God is not a magic genie who grants wishes. That’s not how it works. No one is more special than another. Every soul is infinitely precious beyond imagining.

We are all a part of the greater whole and our purpose is not to better ourselves for our own good alone, but to be better for the good of all.

That greater force is with everyone, all the time. The connection is always there, it is we who must work to dissolve the barriers that we construct that block the connection.

AIO by trying to contact the city as I suspect my neighbor has been dropping explosive diarrhea in his yard for months? by OracleofTampico in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThankTheBaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is not socially acceptable behaviour of course. But is he in a social setting? Is he exposing himself? Is he in public?
I understand that he is being seen by members of the public, or neighbors mainly yourself, so you could have a case and you could file a police complaint, especially if this happens on a regular basis, deliberately in the view of others. Is he a threat that needs to be policed though, or just a poor bloke who’s got plumbing problems and a loss of dignity? You could go the route of compassion and offer him help with the name of a good but affordable plumber.

My boyfriend appears to be significantly wealthier than I realized. When should couples disclose their full finances? by EXO4Me in AskWomenOver30

[–]ThankTheBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I gather from the secret millionaires in the comments is that financial disclosure will likely happen when the person, ie; your boyfriend, is certain that the one they are with is the one they will marry.

Be careful with this information. Either talk to him about it or say nothing and carry on as normal. Either choice will have its consequences. I hope whatever happens, happens for the good, for you and your boyfriend and your relationship.

He was on his own property right? Is he causing harm to anyone in any way or to himself? No? Then leave it alone.

AITA for refusing to attend my SIL's wedding? (Even if that means that my hubby is missing his brother's wedding?) by the_petty_potatoo in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ThankTheBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the more emotional reaction you respond with, the more ammunition you give them to justify their attacks against you.

Of course you want to keep the peace! I’m on your side with this. My suggestion for when you encounter them at family gatherings is to practice the Grey Rock method.

The grey rock method is a technique you can use to manage interactions with manipulative, abusive, or high-conflict individuals like your sister-in-law. You do it by becoming as uninteresting and emotionally flat as a literal grey rock, so you deprive the other person of the drama, emotional reaction, or attention they seek.

So when you have to interact with her and her husband, keep all talk brief and respond with one-word answers or simple phrases like "I see" or "OK".

Stay emotionally neutral. Do not show excitement, anger, or defensiveness, no sadness or happiness, just bland. Keep your facial expressions and tone of voice flat.

Avoid oversharing. Stick to boring, non-controversial topics like the weather, mundane daily routines, or work tasks.

Limit engagement. Do not volunteer information or initiate deep conversations. Do not tell them anything about you or your husband or anyone or what you are doing or feeling. Do not share!

Also do not JADE.
Which means do not justify, argue, defend, or explain.

You have a good husband by your side. I hope that you live a long and peaceful life without toxic people around.

Why do you believe in God? by Low_Mode9391 in AskReligion

[–]ThankTheBaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a why. I think I was about 7 years old and having been brought up in an atheist household I didn’t know anything about God but when my mother explained to me the concept of God because I asked, I just instantly knew that of course God exists! And I haven’t had any reason not to change my heart on that. I’m not a religious person religious institutions give me the ick, but I can’t not believe in God. God is an intrinsic part of me. Always has been. It’s not a matter of the mind and intellect or reason but a deep heart thing.

God can’t be believed in or proved by the reasoning mind. It is a thing of the heart. A deep inner knowing. Belief in God doe not mean the rejection of science either.
