A new church was started 8 years ago in one of the developing countries. The pastor of the church had ministered to God (evangelism) since his youth (55yrs now) in rural/tribal areas. Eventually started TV ministry as well. All the funds he gets are used solely for the welfare of the church and people of the church. The pastor's wife works full time as an architect to support their family.
The pastor is extremely disheartened with all kinds of people's sins which he hears through TV ministry as well as in his own church.
Even though as a mere human no one shud truly point out others sins unless they are clean themselves. It is not through works but by faith that we are saved but does that really give us permission to go ahead and sin?
The church was bright and lovely in the beginning. As the days are going by, the true personality of every church member - adultery, gossiping, backbiting, irresponsibility towards the church, no respect towards one another, no respect towards the pastor. There is literally literally not even a SINGLE person I would say is serious and dedicated to christ. Instead creating unnecessary trouble to the pastor and pastors wife by complaining about other church members and things that are untrue and created between within one another.
Yes !
This pains the pastors and pastor wife's heart. They pray every night at 3am to God about everything that is happening.
The service goes pretty well. It is a small church but there is so much division among one another. Everyone smiles at one another but there is no true compassion or love towards each other. Or atleast mind their own business.
How to deal with the situation?
I am given an opportunity to speak for coming Sunday for 15minutes. If I could make even the smallest impact by the word of God I would be very happy. If anyone would share anything/any verse/any experience etc to me that would actually help ppl in the church.
Eventhough it's a Palm Sunday.
Please brothers and sisters. Pray for this church. Please pray for the pastor and pastors wife as well.

28 Female, currently taking Prednisone (3rd round in 4 weeks) and amoxicillin.
I originally went to urgent care and was given some nose spray and methylprednisolone dosepak for fluid in my ears. Once I was done with that round, the pain came back 3 days later and ended right back up in urgent care because of it (my PCP couldn't get me in either time) I was then given 20mg Prednisone for 7 days. Ended that. Came back. Saw PCP and they referred me to ENT. Saw ENT on Tuesday of this week and they said they can't see the fluid in my ears but the pressure test is reading out that it's there. So he started me on amoxicillin and yet another round of Prednisone (60mg for 3 days, 40mg for 3 days, 20mg for 3 days). Currently as it stands, anytime I stop taking the steroids, my entire body feels like it's breaking. Like every muscle and joint HURTS. But I'm not sure if any of the prescribers are listening when I say that. When I went to ENT on Tuesday, my blood pressure was 189/109. I'm currently retaining a lot of fluid. When I asked my ENT if he was sure that taking another round of Prednisone was ok, he asked if anyone else that gave it to me was an ENT, I said no, he said ok then. I'm honestly worried about what happens if this is my experience being on the Prednisone back to back.

Oh man, I really enjoyed this movie, and am not even a Horror fan. M Night, really making a return to form in my opinion. Thrilling, horrifying, and strangely very emotional. It had so much to say in it's themes and who we are as a people. It felt so current. I've still not been able to articulate all the thoughts I had with the meanings behind the film, but even just as a movie from a pure entertainment perspective, I enjoyed it, and was gripped till the end. Anyone else feel similarly? What did you think it was about?

I think I'm configuring this incorrectly.
I have all my animal dry food measured on a scale nightly, I have configured a tare weight product in Grocy however whenever I go to consume, it says it must be greater than the amount I entered when I purchased?
I purchased a bag at 1710g, weighing the bag after taking out a feed leaves me with 1650g, however if I try and consume anything under 1710 it tells me it must be equal to or greater than 1710. Surely I'm just missing something simple here :)

I (m, 37) have a girlfriend (28) who lives in a shared apartment and I am not a fan. Don't get me wrong: I love living apart together but I'd really prefer if she had her own apartment. There is a long list of things which bother me:

• The shared parts of the apartment (kitchen, bathroom, restroom and hallway) are pretty rundown and often messy. The water tap in the bathroom is dripoing so warm water is turned off. You either need to go trough the hassle of turning it on first or just make do with cold water. In the restroom, there is only a trickle of (also just cold) water to wash your hands and there is no mirror. The toilet flush lever is broken so the cistern is always open and you have reach inside to flush. The kitchen sink is often full if dirty dishes. There is no dish washer.
• Both of my girlfriend's roomates are vegetarian and it's generally not allowed to bring any meat or fish to the apartment, let alone eat it there.
• My girlfriend's room is pretty and tidy but it doesn't have much sunlight. There is no bed but simply a mattress on the floor, which I find uncomfortable. The couch is a very pretty vintage one but it's also uncomfortable. It is also in dire need of a upholstety job but my gf doesn't seem to mind it enough to be willing to pay for it.
• The only private space for us is my girlfriend's room. If we cook or eat in the kitchen, there is often at least one of her roommates and often also a visitor or two. Sometimes they play crappy music or are just loud. I find both of her roommates okay but they're certainly not people I want to be around all the time, especially not when having breakfast, for example.
• I have light sleep and trouble with falling asleep. The kitchen is right next to my girlfriend's room and the door offers next to no noise isolation. So whenver someone is in the kitchen it siunds like they're right next to you. There have been instances when one of her roimates decided to cook in the middle of the night and woke ne up. Some of the nieghbours are also very noisy at times and the walls seem to be paper-thin.

We stay much more at my place than hers. But she has complained in the past because of it so now we stay at her place a little more often than before. She was also very upset because I don't like her place so this has become a difficult subject. I feel like I am not supposed to criticise her place at all as it makes her feel bad. And some of the things (especially noise and her flatmates) don't bother her at all. But there are some things that could be fixed and it's just a matter of doing it and spending some money (my girlfriend isn't broke or anything).
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Do you hsve any advice?

Today's show was incredible. They all killed it.
Su's voice was in impeccable condition and sounded extra powerful. Same with the band. I also loved the subtle changes with Moa's vocals.
At this point we know they officially presented us the new lineup, including MOMOMETAL.
Considering the shows are called 'Black Night' and 'Clear Night', we all assumed it'd be a different setlist, but now that they've officially announced the change in the band, it's safe to assume that Momoko will get a mic.
Today they played all the remaining new songs missing Momo's vocals. Isn't it odd that they'd play a different setlist, but now including her vocals?
Are they thinking about selling the blu-ray with one half of it missing a member's vocals?
Now I'm wondering if the 'Clear' and 'Black' thing refered to the change in the vocal lineup, meaning that they'll "repeat" the setlist tomorrow but now with MOMOMETAL's vocals. Still weird nonetheless.
What do you guys think?

Well, I’m 37, and after working as a graphic designer for the last 15 years, I’ve come to learn that I want to break into the tech field.
I ran my own business the last couple of years, and through that, I learned that I feel happiest behind a computer. I’m very creative, a problem solver and an introvert. I figured the tech industry can land me a job where I can work remotely, and make a good salary that I can use to achieve my goals.
Recently I came across a scholarship diploma program. It’s a 64 week software developer program. A friend of mine with a computer science degree said it was a great program, and I was awarded the $25k so it’s completely free.
I’d love to hear all your advice. I really want to do everything possible to land a great job, as fast as possible. A great job to me entails working remotely from anywhere, reasonable hours, and a high salary.
What paths can I take after I finish this program? What certifications can I stack on top of this or anything that I can do to really make my resume stand out? Since there are so many different avenues in tech, what is in high demand? I have so many questions lol.
Really appreciate any feedback I receive. Thanks!

Thanks for reading.

My hair was always straight and healthy when I was younger. My hair begins to look thick and wavy during pandemics. My front baby hairs are usually standing. I've discovered that my hair has low porosity, but I can't afford to treat it. I tried shampooing my hair, but occasionally my back and scalp broke out in pimples. I just realized I have acne around my hair. I considered giving my hair a hot water wash, but things just grew worse. Moreover, I shampoo my hair twice. Because I believed my hair to be dry, I also tried washing it every two days or on alternate days. It became oilier than I anticipated. I still use the same shampoo that I did as a child. I also notice how smooth straight my hair appears at the bottom. Because I believed that my hair was curly or wavy, I also tried scrunching it with conditioner. I don't brush my hair while it's wet either. It appeared to work, but since I can't afford much conditioner, my hair occasionally looks lifeless when I don't use it. There are no signs of dandruff or lice, but my scalp itches. Although I realize I perspire easily on my forehead and scalp, my hair does smell wonderful. Even though the rest of my face is clear save for my forehead, I too have pimples there that are difficult to get rid of. What should I do?

This is something that can be hard to remember because many managers don't know where the line stops. For example, my manager is one moment swearing and laughing with us inappropriately, and the next she's not approving leave or farming you out to a different department to do more work. This means you never know where you stand and you let your guard down. Many people should not be managers and those that are should have clear boundaries so staff know where they stand, rather that being used.

Hello Minnesota
I was traveling through today to see the prince museum and a concert.
First flight got cancelled. I booked an alternate. Not getting in till around 10 am. I know last night was rough but any optimistic outlook for today or is weather going to be just as crazy?
I'm from somewhere with no snow -_-

Platform(s): PC
Genre: Story Puzzle game (like freddy fish?)
Estimated year of release: Late 90s Early 2000s
Graphics/art style: Early 3D CGI like toy story. Smooth 3D shapes without much texture
Notable characters: Girl mouse with a pink bow and a dress maybe
Notable gameplay mechanics: I only remember clicking around. I don't even remember if you could walk freely or if it was 3rd person or 1st person
Other details: I remember the setting was a big house and you were realistic mouse size. I think it was raining during the game and you could go up into the gutters.
It's hard to google cause the part that stands out the most in my mind is the mouse character but the 'mouse' keyword for a computer game is obviously problematic.
The game might have also been in French. Don't know if it had a US release.

Ever wondered what happens when you die? Wonder no longer, and find out exactly what it's like to die firsthand!
I stared at the dark red letters on the screen. Whoever made the mod sure felt edgy while writing it's description. Though, I suppose when you're talking about experiencing death first-hand, the subject matter is macabre enough to excuse any and all blood red text or Thriller font choices that are paired with it.
I stared over at my NeuraLink which I'd left on the bed. "Take VR one step further," the tagine on the box read. The thing was heavy enough to cause neck strain if you kept it on for too long, especially with the electrode box dangling from the back of the head mount. Still, strapping on the helmet and connecting the sticky pads with copper wires running through them did provide what they'd boasted: an experience unlike any other.
I can recommend getting one for yourself, if you don't have one yet. Of course, the thing jacking into your nervous system at first feels weird, but playing an open world game and feeling the wind breeze past your skin, it's... I can't explain it. Oh, and the people that complain about the pain are either exaggerating or missed the thing to exceed its safety limiters. A shotgun blast to the face feels like getting hit in a pillowfight if everything is on default settings.
What I don't recommend, is doing what I did and messing with the settings. Yeah, the potential for porn is amazing, especially when you use some of those programs to jack up sensitivity beyond 100%. Do read the reviews though. I've heard of a few that turn pleasure into nausea, just to mess with you.
But once you get into porn, you end up craving more, or at least I did. Weirder things. What it feels like to have sex as a woman. Getting in a VR fistfight without the pain limiters. Being waterboarded (really didn't like that one.) And eventually, you end up right where I did: reading about a VR recording of someone dying. Was it real or recreated? Why wasn't it taken down yet? Was it just some sort of joke? A bunch of those thoughts ran through my head, but in the end, curiosity won me over. I did the one thing I never should've done: I clicked Download.
A bit of setup later and I was lying down on my bed (helps with the neck pain), booting into the sim. I opened my eyes and, I'm ashamed to admit, recognized the room. If you've ever summed RoHeDo45, you know what I'm talking about. If not, just imagine some creep sitting in his basement pumping out sim after sim of tortureporn, regular porn, and... regular torture. He always uses the same backdrop, though. It's kind of a staple of his.
I find out I'm strapped down to the bed - it's usually better that way. More immersive since most of these sims don't go as far to actually build in motion tracking so you can move around. You're more of a camera with legs for them. An old, bald man with a bushy trucker's mustache steps out of the darkness to the left. I know it's fake, but my hair still stood up when I noticed the Colt in his hand. Yeah, so no buildup, the sim gets straight to business.
His first shot goes into my leg, and I could feel every excruciating inch the hot lead rips through my flesh and muscle. I make sure to have a mouth protector in these days after nearly biting my tongue off once. I reminded myself the pain isn't real, and felt it slowly ebb away. That's one thing the NeuraLink isn't great at, continuous intensity. The short burst of an orgasm is fine, but a bulletwound like that stops hurting after just as long. I'm sure it'll get patched at some point by a modder, but I have to admit I'm rather fond of the bug for now.
I wasn't afforded much time to think, as the next shot burrowed itself into my gut. That spot always hurt. Plenty of vital organs, and your intestines really don't like having all their neurons fire off warnings at once, even if they're fake. Still, I calmed myself, steadied my breathing, and watched as the old man lined up the gun right between my eyes.
And I... took it off. I ripped off the headset and the pads, and was returned to my dark, but safe bedroom in the middle of the night. I heard the bang of the gunshot through the headphones of the NeuraLink which dangled from the side of my bed. I was panting, lying in a pool of my own sweat, all in all just not having a good time. I'm pretty sure I ended up with some mild, temporary PTSD, because I kept thinking that old man from the sim was in the room with me. My real room, not the virtual one. Not the first time I come out of a sim all panicked though, and a couple of breathing exercises later I felt fine again.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, that I'm a pussy. But don't worry, I'm getting a good night's rest before trying again. And this time, I won't back out. I'll see it through. So keep your comments to yourself. Really, the only reason I'm posting this is as a review of ExperienceDeath.neur, since nobody else has left one yet despite the thousands of downloads. What, is getting killed that good that you're too hooked to write a review?
I won't fail you guys, though. I promise, tomorrow morning I'll be updating this review with what it's like to experience the full thing, so you don't have to. I'm especially curious to find out what happens after the third gunshot, aside from dying of course. When the headphones were hanging off the side of my bed and I was trying to get my breathing under control to calm myself down, I heard something like a voice from them. Which is... weird, right? I mean, you're supposed to be dead in the sim, but there's apparently more that comes after.
Anyhow - that's a mystery I'll solve tomorrow. I'm getting tired and it's getting to the point where I'm starting to smell the same burnt gunpowder in the air that I did in the sim. Maybe I should cut back on my NeuraLink time tomorrow after I see this thing through.

I don't know how many years ago, but a long time ago I was playing this horror game which was an AR horror game. The game's design was in black and white and completely made up of pictures taken in real life with a 360 camera. The game was decently long, I don't remember every detail so I'll explain it in a nutshell.
It's about you being stranded on an island, and you're looking for help
You come across corpses and viscera, and birds eating the corpses
You come across a house and see a decapitated horse head on the porch
You go inside and look around, and some creepy dude was on the phone playing voice recordings
And the guy comes in the house and you hide in a closet until he leaves
You go back outside to your boat hoping to leave, but the boat is gone
You turn around, and you see the man standing over you wearing the horse head with a chainsaw in his hand, and it slowly zooms in on the face
The ending is actually terrifying
​
It has no voice acting, just subtitles
​
This game was actually scary and good, with some nice effort put into it, so I want to find it again
​
If anyone recognizes this, tell me if you know the name

TLDR: ex is drinking heavily and stealing my booze.
Still living with my ex unfortunately. She has been getting up in the middle of the night and drinking. She’s already been having most of a bottle of wine every night since she broke us up and now I’ve found she’s been raiding the spirits in the middle of the night.
I’ve had to move all my drinks out of the room after I discovered she’d helped herself to a third of a bottle of wine I’d just opened that night.
I’m worried about how much she’s drinking at the moment. I also don’t really understand why, she’s getting what she wants by splitting us up. If anything I would have thought it would be me that is drinking myself stupid, but I’m the one having to make all the arrangements.
Is there anything I could be doing here?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 62%. (I'm a bot)

My very first relationship, me (18m) and with my (20f)
My first relationship in this life, my first experience in love just ended last night. We have been together in 8 months things were going great, we are actually getting more deeper in the relationship. Just recently at the start of the month (March) we had a conflict, its was about a cheating issue from me with my a friend from school that I'm not really too close with, but we did talked about some things. Me from my perspective I did not cheat, but i was being friendly in her in chat, I showed her everything we talked about online. she said that it was cheating,. I haven't talked to her about the people, friends in school. i always told her that I'am mostly alone, yes this is true. I lied a bit of not having friends in school because i dont feel like i will have a deeper connection with this people and also i thought that they are not really important people to talk about my gf.i approached casually a girl that is my only a friend, and i lied a bit of not having friends in school. I know to myself that i did not cheat, seeking other girl never came in my mind, but lying can also be considered a form of cheating right.
The conflict started at the start of March this yea, i have been trying to keep things together until last night. We talked, i explained parts of the conversation online with my classmate that is a girl. There is a part of the conversation where im asking the girl how is she because she has been silent in our groupchat, my gf asked why im asking the girl how is she. I explain to her that the same day in the group chat, everyone was worried of her the girl being silent so she(gf) gave me bet if what i said is true we will continue the relationship, if not true we will end it right now. So she said show me that in the group chat where everyone is talking about our friend that is a girl being worried for being silent, i agreed in the bet.
But i lost the bet, the one i'm talking about happened in the different day. I was talking about the wrong day. HVRGRGVUWEBEFWQUB *keyboard noise*. and so the relationship ended, i know i did not cheat on this girl, and iam never got interested in my friend in school in any way.
We are in the same circle of friends with my gf, i have known and met my gf since 2018,we just recently started. in our friends eyes Im a liar, lowly cheater. honestly im not worried or i dont even care about that much. what im worried is her condition (gf) she is tired in life,in the past she had suicide attempts, im worried, if she can do that in the past she still can today. She is tired, she is mentally unstableand needs a break from life, i realized that im still a kid and im not giving her that peace in her mind. i accepted what happened. i just wish her to be alright, to live and to treasure her life.
A part of me still wants her back but a bet is a Bet. im not mad on anyone but to myself only. i dont know how to face her if i'll see her again somewhere. Any advice on moving forward

Okay I am trying a different approach to dating. Typically my past relationships have gone 0-100, saying I love you/being official after 1 date. It always ends toxic. But this time I’ve managed to go quite a bit of time of actually dating/ getting to know this guy.
I started seeing this new guy and we have been talking for a while/ gone on 5+ dates. We haven’t made it clear that we are exclusive/not seeing others. He and I still both have our profiles up on FB dating. I’ve met his sistenephew. And the other day when picking me up for our date he got to unexpectedly meet my mom/ children. We both talked about how we weren’t quite ready to introduce each other to our kids. But it happened. And he was hesitant on having me over when his daughter was home but he had me over the other night with his daughter there. He did great with my kids and meeting my mom. We’ve had some pretty good heart to heart and have expressed care for each othe liking each other a lot.
I have no doubt about whether I want to be official or not. I definitely want to. I guess I’m just looking for advice on next steps. Do I just ride this out and enjoy it as it goes? Do I mention to him that I’m wanting to make it official? Do I wait for him to make the first initiative?
I’m not confrontational at all and terrified of rejection. Plus the fact that I have to bring it up makes me feel like maybe I’m the only one interested in making it official. I just want to do things right. Help! 😅
