I have ADHD too, and some people just let Satan put hate in their heart for anyone who is a little different. <br /><br />I like to watch Daystar TV. There is a lot of loving attitude on the Celebration show and on Daystar in general. For me, love is the only thing that works. I don't care how much a person knows until I know how much they care. I don't even care if it's fundamentalist, as long as people are nice to me. <br /><br />Also, I notice that you tend to cuss. Now I'm in no position to judge you for that, as I've had a filthy mouth in my younger day as well. But on the Joni show a couple years ago, a rabbi came on and talked about the spiritual problems with cussing. It really curses your own life and gives you a lower quality of life. I said, "Oh, so that's why things don't often work out for me." They also said that if it's a habit and it becomes a stronghold, that it's hard or impossible to stop cussing. They said a cure for that is to read the Bible out loud, especially pslams and proverbs. It seems that when you hear yourself read the word of God, it gets it in there and it literally pushes the bad words out. <br /><br />I'd tried to stop cussing for a long time. I'd almost stopped, but sometimes, something would slip out that shouldn't. So I tried reading psalms and proverbs out loud. It worked. I finally beat the cussing habit for good. If it does start to sneak back in, I know how to drive it away again. I don't expect that to happen though. So just for your own blessing, you now know a way to stop cussing. <br />Cecilia<br />AKA: CeeceeCeciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904747556627094240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670596.post-27926420453157557392009-07-07T18:28:08.949+09:302009-07-07T18:28:08.949+09:30I quit reading somewhere in there, mostly because ...I quit reading somewhere in there, mostly because I kind of agreed with you from the beginning - except for the insulting part. Okay, I agreed with that also, I just wouldn't say it that way myself. <br /><br />Anyway, my thought from the beginning was that you might want to try a church like the one I was raised in and still sometimes attend. Here in the USA it is called Unitarian Universalist. I believe there are some UUs in Australia as well. Or I've found Quakers to be often similar in views, though less prone to discussing them (which can be a good thing, UU discussions can be extremely longwinded). UUs do not indoctrinate their kids -- would have been easier for me as a kid if they had, I think. But we aren't going for easy, are we? No, librarians like complicated and nuanced! <br />Andrea the loud librarianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
