Very good point: “And what school shootings? Far more happen in public schools, not so much in Catholic schools...”

In state run schools where there is little to no teaching of good and evil or right and wrong, let any appearance of Christianity.

you know that someone knows what you’re going through, cares about you, and are trying to help.”

There is not only heavenly intervention in the invisible world but one also has face to face relationships that lift one’s spirits and are encouraging. Everyone suffers in this world but in a church of believers one does not have to go it alone.

Anthony Bourdain’s haunting tweets .. about Hillary’s Goons harassing him... Several examples at the site.

The Bourdain’s tweets angered Hillary spokesman, Brian Fallon. He took to Twitter to tell Bourdain to “eat a scorpion.” Many other Clinton winged monkeys followed suit.

Clinton Foundation member, Kate Spade also reportedly ( by the media ) killed herself ... or was it Arkancide ?

come home to the... The One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ Jesus

That's where your car headed off the road and began careening downhill.

I am approaching my 79th birthday and my fortieth year of sobriety. I was able to get this far only through the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ. I scarcely recognize the man I was twenty years ago, let alone forty years. I underwent some tough times, the loss of both parents, getting custody and legal guardianship of my daughters, the loss of one of those daughters four years ago. I made it primarily due to the presence of a church family, people who made it very clear that they were there for me. And, of course, I’ve tried to reach out to others in the same vein. As I told a youngish single mom just recently, “we are family here, your concerns are our concerns.”

“Suicide’s illegal in these parts.” It’s a Wonderful Life.

Common sense about such things is being drummed out of children by the communjst schools.

People who have faith are less likely to kill themselves or others? Who would have thought?

People of the Christian faith are less likely. There are other faiths where the murder rate goes way up among practicing members.

That seems a lot like an unprovoked and unwarranted ad hominem personal attack, to me, a fellow FReeper and brother in Christ Jesus but I forgive you and hope you can find peace in all that troubles you.

Ha! No forgiveness necessary.

I’m referring entirely to your false post.

You heap insult upon injury but they hated our blessed Lord and Savior Christ Jesus first so it comes as no surprise to me.

May you find peace from your unceasing torment.

Now, your mind reading is an issue on the religion forum, but I leave that kind of stuff to higher authorities.
