The US has swaths of Iranian refugees both new and old. They probably ran her claims and determined that she would not be in direct danger. I have been heavily involved in the refugee community for a long time.

The officials have come out and said that they refused him entry for admitted drug use. This same thing would keep you out of a lot of countries.

Interestingly enough, when Eelohim is used to refer to the Hebrew God in the bible, it takes singular verbs, while it take plural when referring to the gods of the nations surrounding them.

One of the short o es like al Bayyina?

"Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures." (QS. Al-Bayyina: Verse 6)

Law prohibits political campaign or election related activities at the cemetery, not photography in general. If their photographs are not used by their campaign officials and trump can reasonably articulate a reason to have been there aside from campaigning, which would be pretty easy, it does not seem there would be any grounds against him. It seems the news reporting on the incident is the primary coverage of the visit.

I am not for outright banning of books, but I am against mandatory reading of certain books for classes. There are some pretty sexually graphic scenes in a number of books not marketed as erotic that I believe have no place in the standard classroom or the elementary school library. A certian section at a public library, sure, but schools, no. It is like those backrooms at blockbuster.

Nope. I actually came up with that on my own after reading the bible. Many "pastors" still preach the whole tithing thing, though.

He never said it was impossible. He clearly says it is hard. When Jesus says to the rich young ruler to sell all he had and give to the poor and follow him, he is not saying to quit your high paying job that made you rich in the first place. He is saying to radically change the way you are living to benifit those around you. We make idols of things all around us. Many make idols of money. Some, though difficult, are able to continue to make a lot of money while simultaneously giving it away for the betterment of those around them. What I was trying to point out is that those who make a lot of money are not the enemy, but those who horde what they have to the detriment of the love of God and man.

There is actually nothing in the bible about giving in accordance to what a "pastor" says. I am not sure where you got that from. While you are correct that the "tithe" as described in the OT no longer applies because we are not giveing to the temple, Jesus' command is to give freely, abundantly, and sacrificially out if s cheerful heart. The jews at Jesus' time would have actually given a good bit more than 10% because of the various annual festivals that also required a percent to be given. What they were giving was in support of the upkeep of the temple and the priestly line who was prohibited from working elsewhere. For Christians, there is no priestly line. We have two offices according to the NT, Elder and deacon. Neither of these are entitled to financial compensation because of the title. Where we get that we should compensate them for their work from the command that a laborers should not be without his wages, and many pastors are doing work that amounts to a full time job. The fact of the matter right now is that most "pastors" across the world are bivocational meaning that they hold other jobs if time allows.

I (25f) am recently diagnosed (April 2023) and still figuring out meds. My primary started me on qelbree which was a total mess and the worst month of my life. After being referred over to a psychiatrist because my doc was uncomfortable prescribing anything other than non-stimulants, my psych started me on adderall. It was a godsend from day one. I noticed an immediate decrease of stress and uptick in being able to actually get things done which helped with a whole slew of related mental health struggles. We have gone through a few different dosages, and I am currently at 15 XR in the morning and 5mg IR in the evening. I am thinking, sleeping, and working better than I have for as long as I can remember, though not without some issues when the drug leaves my system.

Now to the point- About two weeks ago, I went on vacation and the week after was trash as far as the meds working. I felt terrible, and all of the issues that adderall was helping with came back with a bang. The issue has since mostly resolved itself, but I am trying to figure out what caused the problem so that I can keep myself from spiraling in the future. I will include some details below and would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from your experience.

  • the vacation lasted 6 days, all of which I took my meds.

  • all 6 days, I averaged less than 5-5.5 hours of sleep

  • I consumed alcohol the last 2 days out of the 6 with the last evening possibly exceeding what I should have. I do not drink more than once a month usually

-food consumption was normal and I did not eat anything out of the ordinary.

-the last day of the trip, I noticed that I was not feeling as focused with my evening dose. The morning that I left, I was back to feeling like trash mentally as I had prior to starting these meds back in May.

-because I have heard hormones could impact things, I ended my period half way through the trip. I do not remember having any issues following other periods.

Please let me know what you guys think.
