I ruptured 3 discs in my lower back while at work back in 2005 and my employer wouldn't do anything about it, even though I would nearly fall down sometimes from the pain. It finally got so bad that I couldn't get out of bed for work every day so, in 2009, he quite unceremoniously fired me. He...

Sometimes. They switch meds on me all the time, so I couldn't say for sure. The med that worked best for my fibro was OTC Dextromethorphan, but it was ruining my nerves so I had to stop. I was swinging my arms and legs around in my sleep. Had some pretty bad mood swings too. I think they used...

I don't feel like I've been persecuted at all. I don't feel I should count verbal stuff as persecution.

Yeah, me, too (on the pool exercise). Only trouble is, the last few years have seen my fibromyalgia get much worse, and I can't stand water under 85 degrees for any length of time. I've got so much stuff wrong with me, I feel like a hypochondriac when I talk about it. But I feel pretty healthy...

I can't remember what my name was; Brother Dave or something like that. I was banned a long time ago. I still visit once in a while. Bob S is still going strong. He parks in threads about the Sabbath and the law and just blasts away. I don't know how he gets away with it. I was banned for...

Interesting reconstruction. I get that a lot. The answers to all of your questions are in the OP.

Quite revealing, isn't it? There is a subset of evangelicals who can't resist targeting Seventh-day Adventists. It is largely due to the information glut of the past two decades. One can Google "Adventist" or "SDA" and get just as many (if not more) ant-Adventist web sites as they can official...

It wasn't meant to be a defense. I was merely observing your shining example of the xenophobic tribalism that is taking over the western world (especially the U.S.). IOW, you're acting like a bigoted jerk and should probably be next on my <ignore> list, since all you have to offer is negative...

@CharismaticLady Have you been in for your angiogram yet? I'd be interested to know how that turns/turned out. I've been praying for you.

Unfortunately, it's quite common to see entire generations leave the church. There's a vicious anti-Adventist over at CF who managed to round up all but one of his adult children and leave. He goes by Bob S. :(

You can count on that one, Sis. :)

Yes, we know. Us-and-them.

Your avatar looks east Asian which would indicate anything but Hinduism. I'm not being serious, either. :D

You look more Hindu than I sound Muslim.

@amigo de christo You might want to see someone about that martyr complex, btw.
