If your current church is not ministering to you effectively I am all for you finding one that will. Please just don't lose sight of the fact that the Bible clearly states that God gave us pastors, teachers ,etc for a reason.

More than ever when you are stressed you need spiritual support and guidance and most of all love from a local assembly of believers.

It is not the worst advice ever. Depending on the situation it is the BEST (or worst), or somewhere in the middle, advice ever.

I know it kept me alive.

Now the difference between Matt and me is that I was a teen who had no way to escape the hellish grasp of the Pod People. Matt is older and already on his own and fully capable of changing churches.

And by the way, it IS possible that one may never come back from that break........ But I haven't lost my faith.

Matt...if I was closer dude we'd just go hang and decompress....you just need somebody to empathize....not to lecture you...its easy for people to stand from afar and be distanced from the situation and proclaim "Be warm and be filled"...I think its just something you are walking through brother and you need some friends to walk with you....

Well, I understand...but at least check the ingredients in your happy pills...prozac is mostly fluoride? You think more than about .01% of the pop needs some pill to be right? I'm not aware of anyone on that stuff who is level for any amount of time. And pot recommended only if it's legal in your area, of course. :lol

Ha, how do you like me now? A B12 deficiency will make you suicidal, btw. Same with Omega 3, which you get like none of, it's only used by every cell in your body, hello; or vitamin D. Which have all completely disappeared from Safeway food. But BAM, trash me if it helps you.
