The holidays are here, but some households never experience “peace on earth.” Dr. Phil’s guests refuse to embrace the spirit of the season, and say Christmas is the worst time of the year! Joyce has been married to Rick for 27 years, and has hated the holidays for 26 of those years. She refuses to put up a tree, decorate her house or listen to Christmas carols. Rick says Joyce even flipped out when he tried to dangle some mistletoe over her head!  Joyce has succeeded in ruining her family’s joy, but is she about to destroy her marriage? Then, Val has 11 kids, but says her three daughters stop at nothing to wreck the holidays. One daughter even resorted to breaking her sister’s finger on Christmas day! The constant fighting has pushed Val to consider something drastic. And, find out what special event Robin and Dr. Phil hosted to help celebrate the true holiday spirit! Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

12/13 Holiday Horror Stories

Quote From: fanofrobin

I understand what you are saying, although it is a little hard for me to read.   I guess I misunderstood what you believed.  I thought you had implied you are a Christian.  I mean no disrespect in that.  I think that it is admirable of you to see another's point of view.  I do not agree with some of the points that you have made, but because you are understanding I am sure you will accept that. 

 

its kind of funny in a way, i too misunderstood what i believed, in a not so funny way i thought it to be wrong of me to try to understand some one who didn't believe as i do, i felt i couldn't be friends and love my fellow man and woman if they didn't believe as i believe,it wasn't till i asked my self what a Christian is that i knew i had done both Effie and purplepenny a terrible injustice, for lashing out at them as i had in past posts,i knew in my heart god wouldn't want me to treat my fellow man or woman in that manner for any reason,point blank i was wrong,in a way you could say i was trying to take away from them what god himself gave them, and yhat was the freedom of choice,and i had no wright not to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve as human beings,now weather I'm a Christian or not only god would know the truth about this question, thats one that even i cant answer,but if i were to be put on the spot for my posts i would have to say NO because i wasn't treating them as a Christian should treat people,and i was passing judgment on them in my heart,and a Christian isn't suppose to do this as well, only god has the wright to judge for his wisdom is great, and only he will judge fairly with just meassures. i guess in a way i my self was steping on gods toes when i acted like i did, and for me accepting that you see some of the things i see differntly you are 100%correct i accept you for who and what you are,and i will not try to make you see thingsas i see them, we are all differnt and i know this now,but that does not mean we cant love each other and get along with out hurting each others feelings in the process, i guess if we all thought alike and acted alike and looked alike this world would really be a boarring place to be,

I agree, some of my best friends are pagan and Jesus ate and hung out w/ sinners. We're to love one another and Elffie and Penny (although we don't always see eye to eye) are great and have alot of truth to contribute. All truth comes from God

As a matter of fact all I did was reply on the message board to your quote. I did not reply to your personal email. 

I can only assume that you are an expert about appearing on the Dr. Phil Show because you have been there Correct????  Taking two days off work would have not cost you any money I can assume.

I am sorry that I answered your accusations.  You obviously have all the answers.

wow i cant beleive you carry a angrey heart in to a new year, it would seem to me if it were going to anger you soo why did you contact dr phil in the first place? and you are correct it would not cost me any money loss to take 2 days off to go on a all expense paid trip to sunny california, it would be like a mini vacation to me, maybe had you seen that time as i would have you might be able to let go of what ever anger you harbor from your wasted trip to calif. one thing for sure you wernt listening to dr phil. it would seem you wasted his time as well. and yes as a matter of fact as far as my life is concerned i do in deed have all the answers, you see i listen to others,i live with an open mind and i am capable of changing to what ever i need change to get along with others,you too have this capabilty. you just need to stop being so angrey, anger only blocks your mind from change. try it you will be a happier person.you seem to worry about money more than you do your own happiness.you can make more money. you cant replace the happiness you have altready lost. but if it will help you to be happy for  yjis yearim sorry i offended you in my postings. look past my words if it will make you happy. and remember in the feture if you cant afford to let go of a few worthless dollars to go seek help you deemed needed in your life dont go.after all if all you can do is look at what you lost in going to see dr phil not only did you waste your time and his money but yiou stood in the way of some one who would have used his help to better the quality of life they were living. really all you looked for in all this was getting your face on tv hoping in your own mind to be seen as a star.and you assume im an expert at appearing on dr phil? well hell no im no expert BUT i did what you failed to do I LISTENED you do not.

I think....

Quote From: elffie

From what I have read, it went something like this......Panthiestic beliefs, to Polythiestic beliefs, to Monothiestic beliefs.  I think that's the correct order. LOL  It's late....LOL

 

From what I have read, Pagan beliefs predate Christian beliefs by approximitly 2,000 years.  I hope I am not offending anyone by saying this.

a lot of Christians misinterpret what they read.  I don't really think the world is 10,000 years old.  The Bible says (God talking) "A day could be a thousand years to me, and a thousand years like a day".  So evolution could have taken place in the genesis of the world.  A million years could have been "a day".  So it's the old "which came first, the chicken or the egg..." question.  The Christian argument could be that if God created the world, then the Christian faith has really been around since the beginning of the universe.  But the term "Christian" and worship of Jesus came later ( the term "Christian" began in Antioch)....but I ramble on, my uncle teaches Biblical archeology at a Christian university so I have a genetic tendency to ramble! LOL!

Is that an allegory to whether Creationism actually occured vs. whether man invented God?  Or am i reading too much into it?
