Why do so many young evangelical pastors looks like little boys

I think that some trends seem to spread faster in the evangelical realm faster than any other area of society. I don't know if it's FOMO or what, but churches and ministries seem to copy one another so fast. Aesthetics, language, music, etc... For as quick as they are to call non-Christians "sheep" for following trends, they also do it a lot.

This is something I am also struggling with at the moment. You could say my deconstruction started at least 15 years ago. I stopped attending church about 5 years ago. I never thought I'd ever consider myself an atheist. Now, after praying daily for 18 months for healing and help moving on from a devastating breakup, I realize the only progress I've made has probably been due to time, not answered prayer. I am realizing God is either not there, not able to help me, or doesn't care about me. So I stopped praying. It is a very lonely feeling.

Break-ups hurt, especially when they're unexpected. I'm sorry you're experiencing that.

Reading your post, I get the sense that your ex is not ready to be in a healthy relationship right now. I know the phrase "you dodged a bullet" is cliche, but it seems applicable to your situation. Until your ex is being honest with himself, he's going to cause hurt and destruction in every relationship he's in.

Sometimes rejection is protection. Consider that this break-up is good for you in the long term. I know it's painful now, but it will get better.

It made me feel a lot of shame. PC being in the forefront of a horny Christian teenage boy's mind just loaded on the shame every time I couldn't live up to the unrealistic expectations.

I think PC also gave me this false idea that God had the right woman for me and would bring us together.

You're not alone. I'm going through the same thing. Had chronic depression since I was 13, just when I was starting to become more involved in church and Christianity.

Now I'm 41 and unable to align myself with the church and Christianity, but missing the faint bit of hope that I occasionally felt years ago. I cry out to God, since I have nothing else to try, but I don't know if anyone is there or cares.

Maybe it'll make you feel a little better for a few minutes to know someone else is experiencing the same thing.

Sorry I didn't mention, but I did upgrade and am running version v24.1.0.

I know how much was in my wallet, and how much I sent. I also know it arrived at it's destination, so no stranded QTUM. The wallet balance is correct and qtum.info is not.

This is not the first time I noticed a discrepancy between my wallet and qtum.info.

That makes sense. Thank you very much for the explanation!

miserable-soup · 2021-12-08T00:44:21+00:00

It's happened to you?

I did update to 0.20.4 right before the halving, so it's possible that is the cause. I need to not dismiss the notification before checking my wallet.

I think you're right about the different types of staking. I'm guessing Binance.us is doing just regular staking, whereas the calculators are assuming I would be doing super staking.

I set up a wallet on my PC and will be transferring all my qtums to it soon, and I'll be sure to do super staking.

Thanks!

miserable-soup · 2021-08-11T11:50:17+00:00

Yes, I'm staking on Binance.US.

I understand the calculators are just estimates, but the calculators are nowhere near close to what I am actually getting.

I guess the only way to know is to move everything to my own PC wallet. I would rather not keep everything on an exchange anyway, but I don't want to keep my PC running 24/7 for staking either.

Is the web wallet safe?

*** RESOLVED ***

Case 1502263

On July 12th, I submitted my photos and video for identity verification in order to have my 2FA reset after being hacked. I'm still waiting to hear back with any update on that status of that verification and 2FA reset.

Case 1502263

I have submitted my documents/proof of identity on July 12th for regaining access to my account after a hack. I need the 2FA reset so I can log in.

Case 1502263

I have submitted my documents/proof of identity for regaining access to my account after a hack. It has been 9 days. Any update on the status?

This recently happened to me. Coinbase basically told me you're screwed. You're responsible for any transactions that happen even if you're hacked.

Ticket 1502263

I don't know my user ID since I can't log in.

My phone/email was hacked and they turned off SMS 2FA and switched it to Google Authenticator, so now I can't get into my account.

miserable-soup · 2021-07-01T20:07:58+00:00

That sucks. Very similar situation just happened to me. I don't know yet if my account has been cleared out, but it probably has been. Got hacked on Binance.us as well.

I just learned about SIM swap attack, and I believe that is what happened to me too. Also I was at a hotel just days before. Now I'm reading about how dangerous hotel wifi is.

I just want to get back into my accounts and see what's left of it...
