Roy, thank you. I really appreciate that. I really try to give leadership the benefit of the my church issues regarding racist teachings and how they handled church history in the past, but I only handle so much. I've thinking after activity in the church started up again and if eventually things ge...

The Rational Bible does sound interesting too. I think I'll check that too. Thanks!

Roy, I have thought of taking a sabbatical. In fact, when I was inactive at one time, I was sorta doing that. However, I eventually felt I needed to go back. I was visiting my parents this Sunday for Father's Day and I didn't realize that, even though my dad has had his health problems caused by use...

I suggest the audiobook "The Courage of Being Disliked" by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi.

Thanks, Heber13, I'll have to check that out.

You all bring up some good points. When I mean psychiatrist I mean the doctor that subscribes my anxiety medications at the mental health facility I go to.

Sleep maintenance insomnia is the type of insomnia that causes to people wake up in the middle of the night, instead of not being able to sleep. I have that. I was saying it's apparent to me through inspiration that I strongly believe to be from God, that how I've been dealing with my issues regardi...

I've just realized something important. I've suffered with sleep maintenance insomnia since 2010 or a little sooner than that, I can't remember exactly when. I've shared with many of you here with how my faith has developed for the better over time since having a faith crisis in the church. I enjoye...

I have a question: What would be some good books or podcasts about spirituality other than standard works of the church? I don't mind studying them. Since I've been practicing meditation for some time now, I've been getting alot out of the standard works, but I need some more variety. Does anybody h...

I'm not sure this would really accomplish anything. Hardly anybody in the Church would actually admit to "harboring racist views." They'd tell themselves that as long as they disagree with lynching or Jim Crow laws, they were open-minded and non-discriminatory. Besides, I really lean towards having...
