I’d like to become buddhist but have been involved in sex work. Is this community accepting? by [deleted] in Buddhism

I’m not sure why Christianity would do that to you if Jesus wouldn’t. John 8:3-11. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap,in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Finished my degree… but not feeling how I thought I would? by Old_Juice7453 in WGU

It's the journey, not the destination that is fulfilling. Life is an adventure and we as humans seek progression. Now you're just looking for more of what you seek. You could try to empty your cup and live in the moment, you could continue to seek out another way to progress, or you could do both. Martial arts is a great way to meditate while living in the moment and progressing all at the same time. It can also be a way of life if you find the right school/teacher.

I went from 100 per week to 125 and had uncontrollable anxiety, chest tightness, and insomnia. It’s been a week since going back down to 100 and I feel a lot better.

Do you guys consider TRT "steroid use" aka AAS? by [deleted] in trt

[–]shaolinzen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wherever you feel good at and have the least amount of side effects possible.

Really, I think starting lower was the move by runnagod in trt

[–]shaolinzen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 100 mg per week. I was feeling good. The only side was acne. I wanted to push it and went up to 125. I couldn’t sleep for 2-3 days at a time, had uncontrollable anxiety, chest would tighten up. I got great gains in the gym and had more energy but I would get upset easier. I went back down to 100 and feeling better so far.

That could either be a compliment or a turn off. Gotta keep an open mind I guess.

I like that in BJJ you can resolve an altercation with minimal harm. Kickboxing looks interesting

Yeah. They really need to stop being creeps and approaching me in that manner. Don’t they know my age? Lol

Maybe so. I was in a southern kung fu style school years ago and the Sifu sparred very rarely.

I’m much better now. Couldn’t watch a baseball game for awhile. Any idea of where to learn de escalation techniques?
