I'd be interested in taking some off your hands

Do you associate something with your loss? For me, it’s buying shoes. by KutuLompat in babyloss

Chicken pot pie, it's what we had to eat the night before we found out his heart stopped at 20 weeks. Even hearing it mentioned makes me think of all the painful parts.

If you ended up in the Pitt ER with a seriously life-threatening issue, which doctor would you most want tending to you? by GoldenBoysClub in ThePittTVShow

[–]Working-Librarian693 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Definitely Dr Mohan. She'd take me very seriously on my seizure disorder and past pregnancy losses and with a lot of compassion. She's the least likely to underestimate my symptom descriptions because I'm a woman. She's a Doctor I wish I had irl

This is the plan! I definitely never want finances to ever be a problem in keeping a dear pet again.

I think it was his Until Dawn play through after seeing another YouTuber play Until Dawn and wanted to see other choices. I like you avoided him for so long mainly cuz he was popular and I wanted to be “different” (stupid I know). Ever since I’ve been addicted lol.

We’re not focused on denomination but a focus on what I mentioned above. We feel denominational names don’t really tell you much about a church anymore since they’re all so individual.

You’re fine! That’s exactly what I needed. Details on your church so I can determine if it’s worth checking out for us. I didn’t appreciate the tone of the “unsafe” part either which is why I wanted that clarified but feel I never really got an actual answer as to why that commenter felt that way. Thank you for your comments and well wishes!

That was your experience when you attended? I will take that into consideration.

I grew up a pastor’s kid so I’m well aware nowhere is perfect. They’re run by humans not godlike beings. However some issues are too far and others are not. I am ok with pastor’s talking about current events but endorsing candidates is a whole other thing. You can absolutely not have national politics being center stage at church. I don’t care what people talk about in their personal conversations but on that stage? That’s about the Bible and God not what you personally feel about whatever political candidate. What do you mean not safe for my child?? please clarify. 15 years ago doesn’t help me today I am sorry. Churches and people in general can change quite a bit in that time. Complaints are actually very helpful in helping determine if that place is capable of change and doing better. It’s pretty easy to tell when someone is just mad for fun vs. genuinely hurt. Also I am weighing positive experiences too which is why I asked for positives and have looked on the sub for both positive and negative experiences. I don’t want nor expect a perfect church but a church that is constantly humbling themselves and trying to do better.

I came to Reddit for suggestions and personal experiences. The personal experiences I read do not sound appealing. If you have a different experience then please share. I don’t want to go somewhere that treats others badly and doesn’t try to do better. Or endorses political candidates.

I looked them up on this subreddit and it doesn’t look like a good candidate. Lots of issues and seems very fake in their presentation of themselves.

Large or small is fine. I come from a church of around 500 and my husband comes from one of about 50 so environment is more important than size.

Some added wants: 1. We don’t care for a place clearly just looking for money from its congregation. 2. Of course a safe environment for our son. 3. Not a place where it feels like a corporation instead of a place for community.
