After I read the article in the OP, I was astonished. Astonished that people would believe the testimony of a woman that ended up dating the man that she claims tried to rape her. A woman that was pressing charges, but then dropped the suit when Trump agreed to settle a separate, unrelated...

I was merely relating to fact that God never wishes to be far from us in a relationship sense. Obviously, God is everywhere. But given the fact that He wants a personal relationship with us, He will not distance himself from us; hence "never moves". And so if we don't feel close to God, it's not...

God never moves. If He's not close to us, then it is we who have moved away from Him. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Which is why I could never in good conscience vote for a Democrat. Their racism knows no bounds, and to use the propagation of racism to get elected threatens to reverse real progress on racial equality. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

I know you said birthdays, but I I joined in 2008, and the first father's day I had home was in 2014, just before I got out. As far as birthdays, there were 2 birthdays I spent oversees, as well as one Christmas. While in Afghanistan, my team decided to be funny for Halloween. We dressed up as...

We were tasked for funeral detail for a while, and we had one of those fake bugles. Another time, we had a real bugle, but the music was played on a CD player. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

One thing I miss is hearing Taps at 2200. I always had on post housing, so I'd always hear it. To this day, it's very calming to me. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Since you already asked something along these lines, and are begging the question, I cant help but think you're trying to lure me into a "gotcha" moment. IF Paul was speaking of PTSD, his wording "Sin that dwelleth in me" would not mean that he was sinning. It would be referring to the fact...

I loved the church I attended in Mackinaw, IL. It was a small church (70-100), and never grew beyond that. But it had new members coming in all the time. What was happening is that we had a ton of "preacherboys" (of which I was one) and they were expected to train under the pastor for a few...

What cracks me up is that there is a number going around, and I think it's 97%, of how many climate change scientists think man is causing global warming. But when you do some research on it, it is actually 97% of scientists who believe man is a cause of global warming believe man is THE cause...

I get it, too, TC! Do I get honorable mentions? On a serious note, I can see your concern. It's a very real possibility that it would open the proverbial can of worms. On the other hand, if that's the only way to get some things done ... drastic times? Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

It's very possible. Personally, as a singer/warrior, I relate very well with David. Looking at his mood swings, and understanding his history, I very strongly believe that he had PTSD. In fact, I've been trying to use his Psalms in my times of "distress". Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Zaac, I'm actually in class, so this will be short. Hopefully my point is not lost on brevity. But we have legislated away the right to choose to murder someone, and I don't think you're against that. Abortion is the same. In all actuality, you can't take away the choice. You can simply make...

Zaac, I don't have a good answer as to Trump's empathy towards other situations and people. What I do know though, is that his empathy towards vets seemed sincere. Even the tone he used was one of empathy. Instead of the "berserker-turned-politician" voice he normally uses, he was very subdued...

When I came back from Iraq (first tour), I was diagnosed with "Combat Stress Disorder". At that time, the military was trying to distinguish between full-blown PTSD and what I call "PTSD lite". The idea is that some people exhibit signs of PTSD, but then the signs diminish after a few months...

This is true to me, as well; to a point. There are some people capable of enough empathy to almost truly understand. But what I tell people is, "I don't need you to understand. I need you to be understanding." Sadly, my wife and daughters know that I do not tolerate any unsolicited physical...

Alongside that, I typically get dirty looks when I do not salute during the national anthem. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

I did a quick search, and found nothing on this yet (surprisingly). So I decided to preemptively start a thread on this. As most of you probably haven't realized - but will once I state this - I've mostly stayed out of arguing in the news/current events/politics section of the board for a...

It's impossible for me to use my PTSD as an excuse for sin, as the actions I take while in an episode aren't sin. If I hurt someone, I apologize and feel bad for it. But it isn't sin, as it's not a conscious act. As an example, I was in the middle of an anxiety/PTSD attack shortly after getting...
