You must not know very much about alcoholism

Quote From: dpwtchr

But you can overcome this. I used to be an alcoholic and my GOD delivered me from alcohol. Do I still have a desire for it? Sometimes! Do I still "wake up and "decide" to (take a drink) - I used your quote only inserted my "vice".... the wake up and decide is the key here.... if you truly love GOD, you will heed HIS word which talks of SIN... and SIN is SIN... so yes, when I choose to sin I can't blame it on MY desire, or HOW I was born or whatever excuse you want to use.... sin is a choice, and I choose GOD - who makes NO mistakes, and who can deliver me from SIN!  If you think this makes me close minded or narrow minded, that's ok, cuz HE also says in His word that Narrow is the road that leads to life (Matthew 7:14)...  You have a choice.

 

Those who have been medically diagnosed with alcoholism----is a real physical disease.  One has LOST the choice.  Good for you that you can choose.  You will KILL the alcoholic who needs help, so please don't try.

OK, lets see here. I just watched the show. I check this site and :voila" a response to what I wrote earlier...."OH wow, why didnt I think of that! I can overcome this!" "Now why didnt I think of that before? I am 37 years old...surely if I keep trying to change for other people that dont focus on their OWN life, I can eventually be worthy enough! I had already tried to change for complete strangers for over two decades! But THIS time it is different! Nope, THIS time I can...nope, THIS time...Oh, shoot...now I am dead and I wasted my life trying to be someone I was not, all because of other people. As my therapist said years and years ago, I am transgender, as I already knew for decades, and this does not leave. It is something we cope with and others need to learn about.

What a sad waste of time judgmental, ignorant people are. I'm sure when THEY are at the Pearly Gates, God will surely tell them how "Christian" they were acting like this!

This response I got above on here is 1) condescending, 2) judgmental (assuming I would want to change this about me even if I COULD, which again, it is me, but it seems to go in your ears and out the other on everything I wrote, despite trying to be personal, factual and heartfelt professional even., and, of course, the always required 3) IGNORANT. Oh my gosh...since I am Christian myself (as I already said) it is amazing what a bad stereotype so many seem to be on here...do you realize you fit that stereotype to a "T"? All it does is turn off non-Christians to ever find that faith. All stubborn, judgmental, not listening (even if it was wrong, which again it is not) it is how God made me...

You insulted me 110% to equate who I am with being an alcoholic. You should really get some common sense and be ashamed of yourself. Do you even realize what you are writing? Or does your brain not interact with your typing fingers? Oh my...simply , simply amazing. I guess we all must listen to you because you sure sound like you think you know everything....even those things that you actuallly know NOTHING about.

Oh and to the even more amazing winner on this board that seemed to be alluding to me (unless there was somebody else on here that wrote about their parents not knowing about their son being TG), you take the insensitiviy prize, congratulations, I say that my father DIED this month, and all you can say is assume that we MUST have had a bad relationship with my father and mother. News flash to the ignorants to light a flashlight to your thinking....MY PARENTS WERE MARRIED OVER 50 YEARS BEFORE MY FATHER DIED THIS MONTH. There, happy? I guess not because your weak "proof" now holds no water. My family always has been amazingly close, went to church every Sunday back when I lived in their city, etc., it is only in the exception because of people just like YOU writing on here that they dont know about this one thing about me....they, too, were/are extremely religious....as in its practically the only channels and music they every listen to, etc.

Again, I love my God, too, and share the same faith with as my Mom and siblings (and my Dad, before he passed away)...but the way people are thinking like this on these boards is exactly why I thought that I couldn't possibly be a Christian if even I, growing up the way that I did, was like this. I was on the verge of SUICIDE thanks to people like you, congratulations. Is that what you want on your hands?

All of this "converting/conforming" talk TOTALLY reminds me of religious extremists in other countries that KILL people if they dont believe exactly as they do! And news flash...not everyone in the US is a Christian, so what would you say to a TG person that doesnt even have that faith? Crazy, crazy logic so many have on here.

Cant we all use the BRAIN that GOD gave us?! Sheesh, even if it was a sin, (since everyone loves to quote the Bible so much), there is also references that all sin is equal in the eyes of God (there, see? CHRISTIAN)., so I am no "worse" than you as far as sin. So get off of your high horse and "judge not lest ye be judged" (that one sure is appropriate on this board, sad to say).
