Anybody on this forum who is preaching that 'we shouldn't look for happiness' etc etc definitely does not understand what it is like to feel depressed or suicidal.
Please stop trying to give people these 'religious' ideas of harsh life and lots of…
In my opinion, I don't think counselling helps.
For some reason it encourages people to self pity, even if they are not self centered.
Also the strategy for general counselling (outside church) treats you as a very strange human being (don't know h…
wow, your aim is to remain unhappy? actually you're not the only one. I do have a member of my family who treated life as a war, an obstacle. They are old now and have never been happy, actually suffered constantly.
Unless there are angels replying…
A lot of people say "you don't know yourself" "you need to figure out who you are and what you want"
I think some people know, but they are in denial
others are too young and still learning (you had to learn how to talk when you were born)
and some…
just ignore them.
I had a problem about 3 years a go and decided to never talk to people at church again. I was wrong, even though I know a lot of them are bad, I am so alone as I don't know anyone from my local church (since I moved cities) and am…
To give your conscience a rest, I am a new driver. Trust me, you need all the practice you need!
Though I don't understand the system where you live. Why are you using a parent's car? did you not have a driving instructor?
I hope you pass your te…
Thanks guys,
and don't worry geomike, I don't do best friends.
user 157, I'm not going to try to convert anyone. I am not good at answering theological questions. I am just trying to have connections with people in society because loneliness is r…
I can't reach my FOC at the moment. you are right about the bad company. And I am not a preacher, I let him know that i am a practising christian and when he asked me about homosexuality, I told him "it is wrong, but who am I to judge anyone?".

That's very sweet. His holiness was so considerate. But I really want a more direct approach to my question, aka, if you quote something from the bible, could you please take the time to explain it to me? Thank you.
I am assuming you are old enough (over 16). You are not obliged to discuss your spiritual life with your parents unless you have some sort of curfew and they need to know where you go, what you do etc.
It is a different matter if you do want to dis…
I don't believe in superstitions, but unfortunately evil exists and evil people are everywhere so satan uses them to get to us. bragging about what we have and boasting about what we own and who we are doesn't help because at these moments we perhap…
I have a friends who noticed this about me and was honest with me about it.
I did not notice that I was that bad. but you have almost described me there.
From experience, if you are both good friends and you are honest with her about it, it will …
Not to worry...these ppl live thousands of miles away..they won't break anything..
I cry when I go home after most social encounters..they make me feel awful about myself..like I'm worthless.
I hope i'll just pass time till I hopefully die soon. I …
I also noticed that everyone seems to be excited about Christmas (western/Coptic) but I don't feel anything. Have I completely stopped enjoying everything? or maybe not everything...since i get these episodes of binge eating that I can't resist even…
Thanks for that, but you're scaring me slightly :)
I think I'm just looking for friends with similar interests atm because I can tell you this: it's almost technically impossible for me to meet anybody with my lifestyle..I have no social life.
An…
I apologise I know this is irrelevant, but reading this thread made me so emotional. I wish I could speak coptic instead of arabic..I can't believe we're losing this beautiful language...gradually copts in Egypt are losing their culture all thanks t…
Interesting, but I don't think this website charges.
I understand the risks..but so is the case with Facebook and other networking sites..right?
How come our church has not created it's own safe version of a dating website then?
The website is no…
