People on another christian forum kicked me out many times. They rejected me many times either because of my beliefs or because i walked into their political and denominational traps. People in this world and online have treated me like trash to be thrown out. I developed major mental illness, probably due to this suffering and because of my sin that i have finally abstained from, praise the Lord. Medication relieves the symptoms but im still very sad because of how I get treated. I have depression, and anxiety disorder, and even psychosis. I may or may not have PTSD. But i fuction normally on medication, other than the depression.
Anyway, im looking for like-minded fellowship. Im looking for people who understand instead of judge me for my illness. I dont believe Christians should be rich, beautiful, or political. Jesus said not to worry about life’s necessities but to seek the kingdom and God will take care of us, and He wants us to help each other as well. But politicians have us fighting over money and worldly things like the economy. That doesn’t obey the Lord’s teaching.
Politicians boast in the economy as well but James said that boasting in making money or boasting in tomorrow is evil. He said that its up to God whether we prosper or not, therefore we shouldn’t boast as if its in our power. The Bible said that God gives both prosperity and adversity and we dont know what comes next. So im against politicians.
If you agree and want to be my friend then please do so. Thank you and God bless.
Well, I’m glad you are here. There are many things that people see as divisible beliefs. And indeed some can be. However, we are open to hearing what you have to say, what you may be struggling with, etc. You have a pelhora or children of God, experiences, and understanding of the Word here.

@PeterC Thank you. I suppose my beliefs and my mental illness was not welcome there. I told people I had mental illness but one person accused me of using it to manipulate them to gain sympathy. Sure I wanted sympathy and love and I see nothing wrong with that but it wasn’t manipulation. I believe we should share our weaknesses and burdens with each other. Another poster boasted that they kicked many people like me out of their forums over the years. I found it strange that they invite atheists to debate but they hated me. The website actually boasts that it invites open debate but I and others were not welcome there.
Sadly debate takes place of helping each other. On another forum website i told everyone about my mental afflictions and I was accused of trying to manipulate people for sympathy. Thats not true however. The reasons I did so is because we are supposed to share our problems and burdens and because in my mind it glorified God by letting people know that God loves even the mentally ill and can help them stop sinning as he did for me. My motivation was purely good. I wanted to give people like me hope.
I feel like there is no place for me. I feel like if I share my weaknesses and struggles that people will only judge me or hate me. Christianity has left me with a negative view of church and theology. But I love Jesus and his word.
I’m sorry you are dealing with those burdens, but hopefully this place can be a welcoming one for you, and if there are disagreements, they can be handled with understanding and empathy and a desire to edify one another. That’s what I strive for here, and I know many others do, too!
