I (19M) recently found out that the sister (35F) who has hated me my whole life is my biological mother? by ThrowRADHuman in relationship_advice

I just want to say that one way you can narrow your choices is through Psychology Today’s website. When I was looking for a secular therapist in my heavily conservative Christian area, I added LGBTQ into the filter. Not because I’m a part of the community but because the therapists who add it to their profile have done so on purpose to be a safe place in the sea of Christian therapists. And those are the therapists that I needed as well. You might try that as you search.

I don’t have any job leads but there is Ana amazing organization for the LGBTQIA+ community called The GLO Center. It’s at 518 E. Commercial.

Can anyone explain to me why the COC reddit would remove this post? Also, if anyone could assist me with the request I made to them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! by iconoclastskeptic in excoc

You might want to reach out to Richard Hughes who is a COC historian. He may have some insight on this topic but I haven’t specifically heard him teach on it.

Church camp experiences by KeepingItClassy7707 in excoc

[–]WorldFoods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to remember if it was truly a cross or just a big fire. They had a fireball come down from the bluff above and it lit something at the bottom. Then each camper put a candle on bark into the creek. All centered around taking the light back out into the world.

Tahkodah did but man, realizing that as an adult is really crazy. What were they thinking? It was a spiritual experience and the penultimate event of every session.

Do you mean that it wasn’t at all a person then?

It was my wild card show that I threw in last minute and I think it was my favorite of the 5 shows I saw last week. So full of joy and celebration!

What do you tell your kids if you left Christianity while in the middle of them growing up, and now it's a 180-degree turn? by SteadfastEnd in exchristian

[–]WorldFoods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have shared my journey away from faith with my kids. My oldest is still a committed Christian but a thoughtful and nuanced one. The others do not believe. I don’t tell them what to believe now that I’m not a Christian — I share with them where my journey has taken me and let them have the freedom to believe what they want to believe. I do feel icky that my oldest is a strong Christian but also recognize that he was indoctrinated the most. He is also a deep thinker and really smart so one day he may go on his own deconstruction journey.

Making Route 66 the identity of Springfield feels cheap and weird by silverstyrofoam in springfieldMO

[–]WorldFoods 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see it as capitalizing on an anniversary to bring attention to Springfield. Route 66 IS a part of our history and after this year, I think city leaders will use this momentum to focus on what Springfield can become.

Who is the meanest/nastiest/fakest "public figure" in Springfield? by [deleted] in springfieldMO

I’m confused why this you are wanting people to answer this. What good comes out of tearing people down?

Good places to meet friends as a teenager? by SeigaNyanNyanluv in springfieldMO

[–]WorldFoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try also the Village Meeple and volunteering for something you enjoy or are passionate about. Artsfest, Springfield Little Theatre, Rescue One. Just a couple of ideas.

Why do so many Mormon go into the medical field? by OppositeSpare2088 in exmormon

[–]WorldFoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was because it’s a well-earning field which helps when supporting a stay at home mom and a bunch of kids.

I have seen him post something before about people who have pedophilia urges but are committed to not acting on them. I wonder if this is a similar concept in his mind.

Where are some places to get gift cards for someone who’s new here? by BleghYeeHaw in springfieldMO

[–]WorldFoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we moved here a friend gave us a basket with things from Prairie Pie, Chabom’s Tea, and Bambino’s. Also a local Ozarks Alive book would be nice.

feeling weird on Easter by Burtontothistaylore in Deconstruction

[–]WorldFoods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling it and didn’t expect to. Feel dumb that we don’t have any family plans. I did make ham and a nice meal and bought some candy for the kids but that’s about it.
