I'm soooo angry!!

Mickey:

Great advice. This will help me for future posts.

It’s tricky, I know. Been there, done that. Someone once gave me the advice too. What’s that movie “Play it forward”? It’s kinda like one of those…sometimes we just don’t see the effects of our words and actions because we’re so passionate about the discussion and it’s nice to have someone clear the air.

“Pay It Forward”.
Yes. Great movie–good analogy–difficult to put into practice. I think so many of us under-estimate the virtue of charity. It is so easy to be seduced by our passions.

Peace be to you YinYangMom!

Hey, I know we don’t have a distaste for Protestants but your last post sure isn’t witness to that.

What it does witness to is that you are angry and tired and frustrated with the “Jesus lovers who cannot see the Truth which is right in front of them” (not your words, but basically yours and a lot of other peoples’ perspective)…and I’m sure you’re frustrated with the situation not the people…but you are lashing out at the people to express your frustration. It’s in the tone and choice of words you use to communicate in their presence.

Yes, this is a Catholic forum, but Catholic Answers invites all people to visit so they can ask questions and get answers. Here CA is reaching out to non-Catholics, non-Catholics respond to the invitation - and then get hit with a post which says ‘this is a Catholic board’, along with negative toned words describing the non-Catholic’s beliefs.

Keep in mind that by posting here you also represent Catholic Answers in that this is their home. You are a guest as much as the non-Catholic and you treating others rudely insults the host (let alone Christ, whom you represent - being Catholic and all yourself).

Read your posts before you hit the ENTER button. If you can hear Jesus’ voice in your words, press the button. If not, touch it up a bit.

Peace.

Sorry, Yin Yang, but I think you meant to jump on the previous poster more than me. But, truth is truth, no matter how bad protestants (rejectors of Jesus’ Church, which in turn, rejects Jesus-Sorry) and “I’m OK-You’re Ok” Catholics" don’t like it.

I’d like to know what you know about me that says I ‘blow Jesus off’. Do you know my heart??? Do you know where I come from and what kind of a relationship I have with God? Do you even know ME? The answer to all these questions is NO. I am so tired of catholics (not all mind you but some a minority ) who get up on their high horse and spit on the ‘lowly’ protestants who stand up and ask questions. Who mock those around them trying to find their way to God. And who berate them every chance they get.

Am I offended by your post? Not in the least. I was just pointing out the distaste that I perceived coming from the post. Do I care if you like me or not… or even that you think that I, and my fellow protestant brothers and sisters, are morons (Don’t deny it to make yourself sound more charitable than you actually are… It’s right there in your post and the words you choose )? No, I don’t care at all. You may think my ideas, research, faith, and beliefs are idiotic but I do not feel compelled from God to change them so as long as He and I are ok… Then I am GREAT! Thank you for caring about me and wanting me to know YOUR truth but I believe that God has shown me mine. We are both children of God and will reside with Him someday side by side and I will be happy to see you. You’ve got a big hug waiting for you!

Yes, we are both children of God. I’ll be waiting for that hug. I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about.

Truth is truth.
How we share that truth is another matter.
In charity, is all I ask.
With patience, kindness and love…
particularly to those who reject it or don’t recognize it.

Again, in all seriousness. If a person has taken medication for years upon years with no results or improvement whatsoever, it could help you to contact an exorcist in your diocese or state. I am really serious here. Many times when medications fail it is because demons are affecting your body. No, your not possessed…but you are oppressed. Remember, the word exorcism simply means “blessing.” Even a priest may be willing to do this for you. If you experience opposition continue trying.

Well, then I may need that then!

But once start taking the Eucharist, will that help?

I would venture to say the Eucharist will help you come to terms with your limitations, accept and embrace them so that you can be happy living with them and using all your skills and talents for God.

It will not make your limitations go away, though. The Eucharist brings peace and love into our entire being.

For the last few days or so, I’ve been quite angry at God for letting me suffer with attention deficit disorder, anxieties and anger problems as well as a learning disability. I know some of you think I am not that kind of person but I’m being extremely t otally honest with you all here!
…
Also, what does the CC teach about being dumb?

Well Paris, for someone who suffers all that you say you suffer from you seem to have overcome a lot. Your posts are very articulate and well stated. I cannot help but wonder if you aren’t being too hard on yourself.

I know something of this as I am dyslexic. Thanks goodness for word processors and spell checkers.

I also believe that I have ADD as much of my family does… I’ve just never bothered to see a doc about it.

My point is that you seem to be doing some things very well. Perhaps you need to rejoice more in what you have accomplished and overcome.

And then put it out there for the Lord to help you with the rest.

I think there were saints who didn’t even know how to read. There were saints who had many problems to bear. So you’re not alone, and there are some pretty wonderful people that are in the same boat as you. Just know that God loves you, that He created you, and you are precious to Him. :hug1:
