Are you ready to turn your will and your life over to the higher power of your understanding? are you ready to make a searching and thorough moral inventory of yourself? ready to admit to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs |

Ohwow! User ID: 16023386 United States 05/31/2014 05:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you foolz are crazy, why do you think God will come to you, when in truth, you must go to God... you must purify yourself and your thoughts will follow, the mind, body, and spirit.. good luck.. The opposite is true. If God does not call, you aren't his. Read the Bible, see how many were living, walking contrary to God until He commanded them to follow Him. They did, because they found out there is a God that directs history to its conclusion and He calls those He has chosen to make it happen, His way -they all worshiped Him because they loved Him so although it was God that loved them first |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21990933 United States 05/31/2014 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have you been evaluated for seizure disorder? Intrusive thoughts are often simple partial seizures: [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] The OBS content scale identifies OCS and behaviors, “maladaptive ruminations,” and obsessive thoughts. These scales were supplemented by the Beck Depression Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Y1 and Y2. Of the 164 enrolled subjects matched with 82 controls, AEDs, seizure control, age, gender, duration, EEG, and MRI among many items, were evaluated. TLE patients scored higher on the Pt and OBS scales than IGE and normal controls, unrelated to seizure control, severity of epilepsy, medication, or etiology. [link to www.epilepsy.com] •These seizures can be psychic seizures that change how people think, feel, or experience things Its very important to rule out seizure disorders with intrusive thoughts because having uncontrolled seizures may put you at higher risk of sudden death [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) accounts for 7–17% of deaths among people with epilepsy |
Ohwow! User ID: 16023386 United States 05/31/2014 06:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your post is full of double mindedness. First you are tormented by evil and then you plead the message of Christ to everyone to not become as you are, tormented by a power that is dark upon your life and you attribute it to men and their inventions and yet an otherworldly force. You can't walk in both worlds. One will kill you and the other cannot keep you. You are the one that opened the doors to this black and white, up is down world. Come out of your occult world, ask Jesus to forgive you and when you find yourself being pulled back in by demonic visions, words, and temptations to taste the fruit of secret knowledge to command your powers and strength from, turn away again and again until you begin to see you were lied to. There is no escape but Jesus Christ. He alone has defeated the demonic realm, and as the Bible says, touch not the unclean thing. Throw all of your soothsaying devices away. Whether they are books, ouija boards, astrological signs for future casting, whatever, because all these things work, they are the tools of demons to lead Gods people into the abyss, from which they will never be saved from, they, these fallen angels have already been judged, and only await their day of sentence. They are taking as many as they can with them, they hate men so, seeing how they were made in the image of God, whom they hate and tried to overthrow. Now they are about destroying what God loves the most, you. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 35688242 Germany 05/31/2014 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now these are called intrusive thoughts, everyone even the holiest man has em. even the most atheistic do-gooder has em. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12118852 ... Are you ready to admit you are powerless? That your life had become unmanageable? No. I don't have thoughts like this unless I choose to think them myself, which is almost never and only in response to someone who has done something unspeakably vile. Even then, I hate the behavior, not the person, even if I believe the person should be punished or even executed (in the case of one who cannot be rehabilitated and will continue to harm others, such as a rabid animal or pedophile) for their behavior. I tend to agree with the poster who suggested being evaluated for a seizure disorder. I would do that next, because seizure disorders have a tendency to get worse over time since each seizure spreads the damage to new cells. When I was younger, having come from an abusive childhood, I was plagued by negative self-talk similar to your intrusive thoughts, only the thoughts were directed against me, often using replays of cruel things that had been said to me as a child. I overcame this by effort of will: each time it started, I opposed it, canceled it by saying "that's not true" and by forcibly moving my thoughts and even my physical activities onto other things, thus breaking up the intrusion. I just kept doing this, and after a few years, the negative thoughts became infrequent and then stopped. So I do have power over my life and my thoughts, and I can manage them. So can you. Blessings. |
