Can we talk about anger?

[humble soul]

I'm not angry, I'm just overwhelmed, you know when it feels like everything is too much and you get anxieties.

You tried marijuana?
Joking,...
prayer, meditation and yoga is the way to go. Also swimming and saunas might work

 

[Corn Pop]

Maybe I need to go for a run or something.

 

[Susannah]

? I admire all the healthy things you guys are doing to relieve anxiety. I just take my meds and go to bed. I need to work on that. Everyone have a good night.

That used to work for me. Until the back caved in....

Well, you said that the dog Edward shot malled and killed an 8 year old, and it was Edwards fault.

So, you need to prove your accusation. Back up your words. Show us some proof.

If you can't do that, then it's your imagination at work. What makes your imagination any more right than mine or anyone else?

I said he let the dog live to attack another. What if it were an 8 year old boy? This type of thing happens.

You misspelled your name. That's what your line of crap is all about, huh? You fancy yourself a guerrilla fighter. So it's kill 'em all and let God sort them out eh? You going to be a raider when you grow up bro? That must be why you can't ever accept a non violent outcome to an incident.

But you see, watching too much tv, playing too many video games, and the rich fantasy life of a recluse has warped your sense of reality. You need to get out more.

But what if the 8 yr old would have grown up to be a serial killer? Those things happen too.

beret and why its red?

the song blood in the risers comes to mind

A/75 History

In autumn 1962 LRRP LT Robert C Murphy flew to England and purchased maroon berets for the company from his own funds. They were authorized for wear by the CG of 7th Army for both V and VII Corps LRRP Companies.

This article is embellishing the truth lol. They were not authorized... But they refused to not wear them.

3rd ID LRRP

www.society3rdid.org

unit’s training reflected its mission: to act as the eyes and ears of the 3rd Infantry Division behind enemy lines and to observe enemy movements, pinpoint targets, and report back to Division Intelligence. In addition to its rigorous physical training program, the unit practiced patrolling (both day and night),map reading and land navigation, forward observer techniques, cover and concealment, explosives and demolitions, rock climbing and rappelling, escape and evasion, path finding and helicopter operations, hand-to-hand combat, CBR, first aid, and the recognition and identification of Soviet Bloc uniforms and equipment. The unit also underwent 6 weeks of intensive radio and Morse code (CW) training at the 123d Signal Battalion’s radio school in Wurzburg. During the course the detachment was taught how to operate CW (Morse Code) on the AN/GRC-9, AN/GRC-41, and AN/GRC-26 radios. The students also learned defense against jamming, communications security, and field radio maintenance procedures. The men also learned how to set up the radios in the field and how to orient and string the “long wire” antenna.

You should shoot the bad dogs that attack you, saving you and others. But you talk your way out of shooting the dog to save yourself, but leave others at risk.

You keep bringing up the 'love of God' yet you want to keep wearing a pistol and not using it. You're a contradiction.

When you first started calling me on the carpet for not shooting the dog and not shooting anyone ever though there was plenty of justification to do so, I thought it was the strangest thing. It struck me so odd. But it all clicked into place for me this morning. You hate the fact that I didn't shoot the dog or the men. It goes against your life beliefs. I feel stupid I didn't see it right away.

You've been conditioned by action movies & vid games to aspire to be a hero. A killer, but a good guy. You've even attached a holy good man of God moniker below your avatar...Christian.

It is very easy to be angry. It is very easy to feel and act in hatred. But you certainly can not neglect learning to love also. Do you have a heart? Why are you resistant to myself and others talking about Love, God's Love to you? Can you not see the incongruity with that? Why you would not open your heart to love and continue to embrace the anger and bitterness is a mystery to me.

If you are a real Christian then you believe in God and what He did for us. And you know God? Do you understand that Love is the most powerful force in the universe? You have several Brothers & Sisters in Christ here trying to teach you a bit about Love and about God...don't bark at these people! You know, anger may feel powerful within you when it comes over you, but I kid you not, Love is a lot more powerful. It is so powerful that sometimes...everyone walks away unharmed. If you don't believe that, then you don't know God? You have to be teachable. Everyone has a lot to learn. You're making a mistake by responding in anger to us people.

Anger is not a sin. Anyone can feel anger. But a response to anger is what we call rage. Rage is sinful and anti God.

Remember that the enemy is not the enemy in his own eyes; This may offer you an opportunity to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate, and quickly.

Please...your killin me with verbiage.

As to the dog, yes I would have shot and killed it. If I remember right, one of the men you described broke into your home. If that is true and that were me at home, yes, I would have shot and killed him.

Have you ever shot a man? Have you ever killed another human being?
What is the closest to a dead body ( not at a funeral home ) that you have been?

I see nothing excessively technical about the Lord.

He never made it through the door because I stopped him from getting in. But you said you don't want to hear the stories...or do you?

I learned that we don't live in a world of what ifs. We prepare for what ifs, but we don't get so consumed with them that we make them self fullfilling prophesy.

The thing about what ifs, is that our actions should not be dictated by fear, or worst case scenario's. When we limit our actions based on the principal of fear, we miss the opportunities in life that give life purpose, and better our surroundings. Instead of making our world better, we contribute to the chaos.

Jesus calls us to be free from fear. We live in the Spirit, and we don't let the fears of our flesh overcome us and bind us.

 

[humble soul]

Yeah "what ifs" kind of control me. The anxious mind is like that. What if my partner dies before me? What if our dog outlives both of us?

 

[Quantrill]

Have you ever shot a man? Have you ever killed another human being?

Not interested. I could lie to you all day long about experiences, or be telling you the truth.

The important thing is the philosophy one has for when that time comes. That is what you will act on.

That the dog attacked is not a 'what if'. That the dog will do it again is not a 'what if'.

In other words the situation is real. Not a 'what if'.

And, actually we do live in a world of 'what if's'. All our laws are based upon a 'what if'. If you have kids you are wary about leaving dangerous things around that curious hands may get into, because 'what if'.

Of course as a Christian you don't second guess what has happened with a 'what if', because we trust God. But that doesn't free us from using good sense to avoid future trouble.

That the dog attacked is not a 'what if'. That the dog will do it again is not a 'what if'.

That the dog was on a brand new chain the very next day is real too. I can't recall ever seeing the dog off of the chain after that.

Too bad about the attempted home invasion. You would've liked that. I gave him a warning shot too, lol. You would've had a lot to cry about. I didn't shoot him either. I know, I know. I should've emptied my AR into him.

But that's all you have been doing to me this entire thread, second guessing me. ...??? What's up with that?!

Quantrill you are opting for what we call negative attention. A child starts doing this when being good doesn't get their parents attention. So I know you are really enjoying all the havoc you're causing with your posts. It's an adrenaline rush. It's a hard habit to break. The best thing right now is that the other posters and I don't feed your addiction. So I'm not going to give you any more negative attention. I love you as Christ asked me to. And when you finally feel the love of God personally you will want to attract others in a positive way by being upbeat and optimistic. God is not through with you yet. ❤

The way to begin a Christian life is not to study theology. Piety before theology. Right thinking will produce right living. Theology has its place but repentance and love must come before all else. Henry Ward Beecher
