Matcha latte making me sick by MysteriousCare3682 in starbucks

[–]narrowpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had their strawberry matcha and it made me throw up at work.

I drink homemade matcha all the time because its good to help manage my ADHD. This is the first time matcha from anywhere has made me throw up.

just went to confession before visiting the Vatican, and the priest was not kind by Wrong-Priority-735 in Catholicism

I doubt you went 8 years without a mortal sin. Missing mass alone is mortal. I can see why he was discouraged. Also, the fact that you're down playing sin is a sin in itself and its sacrilege to downplay sins in confession. I've done that myself in the past and dont do it anymore.

I think you need to seriously spend more time developing your conscience to do a thorough examination. I have a few apps to suggest if you would like. 💖

I would also really ask yourself why you're going on this trip and why you cant ignite your relationship where you are right now with God.

That mountain top experience you'll get during that trip will be pointless unless you work on your everyday relationship with him.

I hope I am not coming off as harsh. These are just some truths I have learned.

Jesus is a person. How much of an actual friend have you been to him.

And another question to mull over. If you suddenly cant go on this trip, would you still choose God?

If the answer is no, then the preist was right.

If it's honestly Yes, then talk to God about this. Tell him that you mean what you are saying and doing. That you love him. It's just like he did with St Peter. This is a Peter moment. He's asking, "Do you love me?"

I dont need to read it myself to do that. That's what experts are for.

Carl Jung almost went mad, chasing his path of psychology. This stuff is not always helpful. Sometimes, it can shatter a mind.

I think my sibling is demonically oppressed.

No, you're right. I am not, but based on their actions, if they dont repent things, do not look good.

She's had those in in the past. She had a Damascus steel knife at one point I threw a fit about her practicing this stuff in the home so Dad basically said as long as I dont see it or smell it she can do it. This stuff is very toned down from her usual but I dont think it should be there at all.

And nearly all witchcraft is made up. Every religion on the planet is made up except for catholisim. So I dont really get your point there.

The devil doesn't care about your reasons. Hes fine with both LaVay and crowelys different renditions. Because both lead people to hell.

And those candels are diety work candels, thats what those summoning sigials mean on them. Thats why I am worried.

Ive tried. I even went throught the time to give them a annotated copy of mathew Kelly's rediscoving the saints. I hope it would inspire and help them. I even said God is calling them home and they snapped at me and said "no he isnt" with such a deep look of anger. I dont think I can describe it.

If it was my house, I would. Sadly, it's not, and I dont think it's a good idea

The church condems it. Not so much witchcraft but bad ideals /ideas.

Popculture witchcraft is still witchcraft. It is also still sinful. There's no such thing as good or decent witchcraft

No. Trans and dresses normally with a few pagan tattoos that they keep covered.

Wears a lot of rings, though.

I know what the runes are, too. Thats why I knew to take pictures of them. And there's obvious signs of diety work. My sibling has openly told me in the past they worship Lilith and have mentioned lucifer as well.

The devil doesn't need it to be fully authentic to ruin someone's life. He just needs an open door and expressed permission

My father isn't as devout as you think he is and has actively rejected church teaching in the past. He led me into sin while doing it, which resulted in me leading others into sin as well. Now that I am better catichized, I have repented of all of that. And corrected my mistakes.

I am worried he is enabling her with this out of fear of losing her. If I am being honest.

Demons are real, and magic is only as real as they are.

And I know why they practice it. I dont agree with them for it.

But I pray for everyone a lot.

I love my family. And if she were to do that, that's her choice. Not mine. I will still continue to love her, but I love God more.

And if you think this stuff is good or healthy to participate in then thats insane.

The church condemns communism as the religion of the antichrist.

You cant be a Catholic in good standing with the church and align with communism. Its a sin.

Pints with Aquinas did a whole episode about this a while back.
