  • re:st.artist · 1 week ago
    i go bi-polarbear on this:
    and sorry if i just barged in on yer scene but i got noone.
    .
    "bait and switch" was just used rather harshly i think [that term?] unless i am so mistaken: on npr/ ira glass with christians / who would trick seemin non-believers somehow/ [i am being vague because the main story teller came out of a well known organization which my family came out of: we all "were awakened by Christ at the same time in like early mid 70's] and i was very angry and defensive because this guy seemed to sound like "trying to make up for the embarrassing Jesus thing and wotever crap i do not like/ and we all or my parents were on staff at this place and it wasnt like he was saying or at least while we were they: it was ruff times for us also: even tho i did not hear the story my husband did] but things like "come to awesome beer party tonite and it would be a Bible study over time BAIT AND SWITCH.
    ..
    okay having sed that
    ..
    i did read that article: mentioned in this link
    and my husband and i were just talking: about the following

    i know this is not "meant or asked over ages:" but it has become: on accident implied especially for overly tired and wounded etc
    ..
    as long as you dont kill babies
    you hate gays
    you do some [wotever is right for your part of the Christian culture thing is where you live]
    you do NOT hang with non Christians
    you do not get divorced
    you go to church and get juiced
    tithe etc
    support missions in some way
    you are a Good Christian

    ..

    now:
    i have NEVER FULLY thot that was good at all
    i have been friend to all and have broken everycommandment we'll skip over thatsentence quickly.
    i have been wrecked: and i / no more nounds.

    however i cannot hold the "america is the belly of the beast etc/ the church is a whore/ jesus was a dissident bleh
    ..
    however: i cannot deal with Piper sorry i am a little scalded from
    a bunch of Christian school doing papers i basically went to seminary for highschool
    how shall we then live, etc memorized by juniour year and on drugs.
    AND preaching. and many were saved. go effing figure. sorry i speak some french.
    ..
    i know i am starting over at age 38. i hate it.
    things are happening and did/ in my soul
    things i beggged God to NOT LET HAPPEN
    and i didnt even know wot they meant
    like
    a verse would pop out
    about having contention with God? [i was like 5]
    and i would think
    I DONT EVER EVER EVER WANT THAT
    and i would beg every day please let that[wotever THAT is never happen
    and that is wot happened
    ..
    and then every Worst Thing A Person could have Like THE VERY WORST MARRIAGE EVER
    but i do not want a divorce
    becaue that is death FOREVER?
    and i LOVE HIM.
    and i think i am being tricked by an imposter???
    this is real words.
    restartist.
    ..
    when i say the very worst marriage ever i am not speaking of my husband lee. i am speaking of/ like that is the only way i know how to describe me and God/ right now. the metafor changes. ??? i cant come up with one.
