SOTC thread...Why NOT to post when your angry



Recommended Posts

How can I explain it to you better?? Maybe you misunderstood what I said. Please reread the post. I WOULD NEVER God bash. I love the Lord with all my heart and I take great offense at seeing Him used this way by Christian people. Sometimes even Christians need a little reminder that their behavior could be considered very offensive by Christians and non Christians alike. Im sure my angry post last night came across as very "Un-Christianlike" but it was NOT God bashiing...

Kathy as the first line in my post said I laughed it off thinking you were having a bad day. I was talking about the few who posted after who.... (but won't name any names) I agree with what you were trying to get across. If you are going to toss the words of a child of God I do think you should live it... But in all fairness we all act a little dumb now and then... And I did not read yesterdaY post, That is one reason I am not on here much. I am so tired of all the HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA that happens here.... I hope you are having a better day and I never thought YOU were God bashing...

:deadhorse: :deadhorse: Could we please drop this thread? It is no longer productive whatsoever.

I can't believe some of you would even want to post on this thread at all.

Anyone that continues to post in this ridiculously juvenile, drama filled thread will be required to tell us how much it hurts to be an idiot.

How's that?

re: "I believe nothing that cannot be verified by my senses."

I believed that too for much of my life.

Yet how do I account for these:

Time, tide, gravity, TV signals, pheromones, brain function in relation to blood glucose levels. Brownian movment. Strong and weak atomic forces. Calcium and sodium channel pump. Mitochondrial function. Ionization. X-ray and gamma ray production. Radiation. Atomic decay. Fossilization process. The growth of Redwoods. Ova and sperm...invisible to the naked eye. Microscopic anything. Pluto and Xena circling the Sun. Sun spots.

My beliefs are subjected to the performance of devices that extend our senses. Yet how accurate are they and how do we interpret the data they provide? The church refused to look into Gallileo's telescope and denied the existence of the moons of Jupiter. Did they suddenly pop into existence for the convenience of a theological argument?

And what of subatomic particle physics? Quantum mechanics. Quarks, leptons, gluons....magnetism itself? I don't see electricity. I can't see the ocean....does it still swarm the shore and nourish creatures I've never encountered?

Our concepts of blood changed when we invented the microscope. And they changed again when we could look at 100x instead of 10x. And they changed again when we looked at 1000x....and again at 20000x and 30000x.....and when we could measure electric signals, and chemical signals...and again when we discovered hormonal mediation of cellular processes....and again when we could observe and measure those processes due to the effects of radiation, of environmental factors previously ignored....and when genetic mapping became possible....

Did the universe change with the addition of new devices to our world?...

Spring--hand me a bottle please. And love....I'll take a pound of it. No, make that 2 pounds.

I no longer consider my senses to be that which defines the Universe.

This, however, is poetry. It should be memorialized amongst the ashes. :clap2:

Hey people. she apologized.. Get on with it... She stated...." read it again, You must have misunderstood what I said."

Points to Ponder........

Many non-believers' last words have been, "Oh, God." However, It may have been too late.

Just for the record, I'm not offended at all by the original post. It made perfect sense to me. And you're absolutely correct, PPL

Me too, so I'm hoping NurseKathy won't mind if this thread gets killed. Come on guys, I know there's some cheese lovers out there. I, personally, love avocados. Do you know how much fat is in those puppies?:wacko:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
