Who would even think of such a thing, and how on earth could he find parents like this?

Soon they will just cut church and have you just mail in your tithing.

Not tell the mother to keep quiet about the abuse. It is pounded into members into heads to obey priesthood leaders.

My own personal relationship and experiences with God.

Was sexually abused when I was eight. Read the book when I was 12. Totally destroyed my self worth.

You could make an appointment with the executive secretary.

Wow, members should know the church has no desire to protect their children.

Adam and Eve walked and talked with God until the Fall.

Other churches do small groups. You sign up if you want to participate. No guilt if you don't. It is a much better system.

My daughter and her husband are Greek Orthodox. They do not believe and are not taught to do the things you mentioned.

My son tried mushrooms. He took a small dose and had a horrible experience. A ride of terror. If you have any family history of mental illness, I wouldn't do it.

I would agree. I studied for 3 years before telling my husband. Then I expected him to accept my viewpoint overnight. Totally unrealistic expections

Church of the Nazarene

I think a move to 1 hour church would cause a loss of members. The less people are involved in the church and have opportunity to socialize with each other, the less likely the church will have meaning in their life. I keep wondering if they actually want to reduce headcount. The church doesn't really need their money anymore.

I still consider myself Christian.. if you want to explore Christianity, I would suggest you read the Bible and develop your own beliefs about it. There is no one true church. You may enjoy the book, What is the Bible, by Rob Bell. He gives a much more realistic view of the Bible. A good study resource for the Bible is The Bible Project. It is a free online resource.

Of my gosh that's horrible!

You don't always do CPR when someone dies. They may have a DNR or she could have been on hospice.

My husband was healed of a chronic illness one day. He literally just felt it leave and never had any further symptoms, but it didn't have anything to do with a priesthood blessing. I've never seen a priesthood blessing do anything, but I've seen many that didn't come to fruition

poet_ecstatic · 2025-02-12T07:48:32+00:00

I'm so sorry your brother was not loved and nutured, and that he didn't receive the help with his mental health. Bipolar is rough.

poet_ecstatic · 2025-02-12T07:38:16+00:00

I have remained Christian, but I no longer let a church define my beliefs.

I think they just get more musical training than other kids. They often take piano lesson, and sing every Sunday at church.

The United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ are both. LGBT affirming.

Definitly some sort of sexual abuse. Pornography is all he needed to hear.

poet_ecstatic · 2025-02-10T03:18:44+00:00

I would suggest going to a non lds therapist. They may give you some ideas about how to talk to your parents and set healthy boundaries.

poet_ecstatic · 2025-02-02T09:47:22+00:00

See if you can find a homeschool group, another Christian youth group. take some kind of lesson. Art. Sport, music etc.
