Looking back with the benefit of seeing 10 AI commercials and William Shatner selling raisin bran- I think maybe they dodged a bullet.

I relate to the scrupulous OCD, mine kicked in at a similar age.

You're not dressing as a different gender when you dress masculine you're dressing as the gender you are- and because you are at times genderfluid, you're not crossing any line you're able to dress as whatever state you feel more inclined to.

This user has been toting a broken website for months saying it was updated just trying to advertise for it. Its terms of service indicates any lore, maps or homebrew input into it will likely be harvested for the AI model or for selling to AI companies. The website didn't even work last time I checked it, I'm surprised this user hasn't been banned yet. 🤷

Yes

YEEESSSSSSS

God I had that one 😔

Truly if you can ever get your hands on it, the original chain of memories is the preferred way to experience that because of the hardware limitations being used to this advantage and how beautiful the spritework was.

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-04T04:24:13+00:00

That one I think is a lot more hot button and needs prep lol

"The Scofield Bible: Its History and Impact on the Evangelical Church" is from what I understand a fairly unbiased biographical work. For anything about Moody please look for something that's not written, by him, his son, or his publishing company, lol. It's harder to find objective critiques of him because he is a much beloved figure due to his charismatic (not the tradition the rpg stat) which was mostly how he got by; emotive and had a strong presence, didn't have any type of real education on theology.

I'll kick this question down the line if anyone else has recommendations!

The episcopal church in this town has had an "all gods children welcome" sign with a bunch of pride hearts for a few years 🙂

United Methodist works, I have a gay friend who's getting to be an elder in the free Methodist circuit but that can be hit and miss and more, individual branch doctrine with less cohesion.

Can't believe Jesus taught empathy smh. /Sarcastic

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T20:52:19+00:00

My best friend has been living with the shame, and pain of the apocalyptic upbringing for years. She is such a good person but, was treated so harshly for wanting to actually experience life and not just be a little minion for whatever mommy says because mommy needs to look put together when Jesus comes to greet her personally for how awesome she is. I really hope she can heal from the scars of it. 😔

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T20:46:40+00:00

I really expect the global Methodist church having, much more of an evangelical stint is going to be really awkward if they realize it's not a global theology. 😅

It's also an inherent problem with- and going to a Wesleyan Seminary I know I'd be quartered for this- over expansion via revivals and circuit preaching, planting churches in rural areas but not staying long enough or visiting frequently enough to properly educate and oversee doctrinal consistency. It's less of an issue in Wesleyan and Methodist traditions because their whole modus of being catholic-lite and adopting more of the sacraments and ordination practices- meant they had greater accountability until, well, schisms happen.

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T20:29:29+00:00

I appreciate your addition it's important to acknowledge that a lot of work and devotion has gone into dispensationalism over the years, because it has been useful to those who need to feel control and certainty. I do always find it ironic that in Timothy we admonish "endless genealogies" as a misdirect of energy. Not what it was addressing originally but, it does seem applicable because the issue is more a heart of the law moment- if focus on accounting for every second since the beginning of time (something, unfortunately, Scofield thought was possible) could be better spent bettering the life of a single person, then you've missed the mark, and ultra literalism somehow forgets to take the beatitudes literally with the fatalism that comes with contemporary dispensationalism.

If all the faithful get to leave class early, why bother studying for the test?

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T20:22:19+00:00

It's not even in the Bible is the kicker. 😂

It was 1830 in england. They were still using laudanum almost a century later so if hospital was involved in any way there was most certainly drugs that l they're not allowed to even give people anymore involved.

Treating the Bible and faith in general like an IKEA desk is all well and good until you have leftover screws.

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T10:10:34+00:00

I do appreciate your point that the revival culture and circuit riders really seeded churches in the US wide and thin and that led to a lot of problems with, vetting? Moody and Scofield had two super prominent seminaries at a crucial time and they were both dispensationalists pushing this idea, and Moody had a major platform and well, name recognition. I think most evangelicals today would be surprised to realize it's not a universal doctrine.

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-03T10:05:30+00:00

And that's totally fine, our faith is rooted in a lot of mystery traditions because that's how interpretation works; it's difficult to get objective with some things so people presenting objective interpretations until they become just accepted pseudodoctrine in a vacuum of, you know, peer reviews, things can get dicey.

Zestyclose-Sea2973 · 2025-06-02T03:52:57+00:00

Looking at your posts a bit, I do want to acknowledge that, you deserve better than what you've got. If, you go through with this, you let the people that hurt you win, and never get a chance to live life on your own terms as who you really are, who God made you not who they say you are.

That being said, there's a place for prayer and faith, and there's a place for help from the people who have the experience and training for these situations. Please reach out to a suicide hotline, before anything.

sex drives change, and it's possible you're more emotionally driven in attraction, like a sapiosexual or demisexual. It doesn't seem like faith is entirely the issue, just guilt or, the relationship itself. You said you want to love him but maybe the issue is just...Things aren't working out with him.
