frustration question

[serena77]

salaam brother Yahya
first thank you.
your right arkansas is known as that buckle.. lol.. when i was ten.... ( remember i was raised as my mother is ) i boldly told everyone in my school... i didnt believe in God..... mon dieu you would think i had just admitted to murdering the president. Maybe thats where some of my fear comes from though. I remember their reactions as children and i know adults are much the same way when it comes to religion.

I'd never thought about the online broadcasts from mosques.... I know EWTN - the catholic channel - does do such Mass broadcasts... its funny though being at home, and participating in the words and motions of the Mass ( albeit without taking communion ) doesnt count towards the obligation of mass. and thats something i haven' ever understood. there was a time where i'd jumpat the chance to go to mass... our christmas eve Mass ( for anywho arent familliar ) thats normally called the midnight mass. Ours. - 8 pm. For catholics I have learned its not the intent as it is the action. Maybe thats part of my problem in posts like the one above... infact when a revert friend of mine kept telling me... Islam isnt supposed to be hard.... i was like... ummm are you sure you were paying attention???? I'd never have said that to her... but religion has always seemed to be hard.

Then again My priest failed pastor 101. He had to.... he barks worse than a pit bull and we won't talk about the time he's reduced me to tears.
I know attending Mosque isnt required and i know most females apparently don't.. at the same time i'd really like to have the option by having one in the area.... for the experience .... to be able to talk so someone in person.... for the added peace....

I am glad to find i wont' burn in hell because of my poodle
With the bipolar and the aspergers ( and the PTSD ) .... he's also a big help and i know there are reasons when a dog is allowed w/ no issue. i can't say he reminds me to take my pills.. but there are a lot of times he helps to ground me before i get too manic. wish i could take him to work... sorry digressing a little ....

the swimsuit thing actually was a big thing for me.... i'm like a fish out of water five hours from the ocean ... i have always wanted to get my ocean water rescue certification... I used to be a trained lifeguard and i'd live in the ocean if i could....

Hope your having a good weekend all
Sorry this took a couple of days to reply.

Never mention it.

That’s their problem, though.

For catholics I have learned its not the intent as it is the action. Maybe thats part of my problem in posts like the one above... infact when a revert friend of mine kept telling me... Islam isnt supposed to be hard.... i was like... ummm are you sure you were paying attention???? I'd never have said that to her... but religion has always seemed to be hard.

It doesn’t feel hard, when you’re actually practicing it. You just can’t let yourself get too slothful about it.

Then again My priest failed pastor 101. He had to.... he barks worse than a pit bull and we won't talk about the time he's reduced me to tears.

Again, his problem.

I know attending Mosque isnt required and i know most females apparently don't.. at the same time i'd really like to have the option by having one in the area.... for the experience .... to be able to talk so someone in person.... for the added peace....

There’s probably some kind of Muslim community in or near where you live. We’re everywhere these days, you know—we just don’t usually call attention to ourselves. You can understand why, if what you said above is any indication.

I am glad to find i wont' burn in hell because of my poodle. With the bipolar and the aspergers ( and the PTSD ) .... he's also a big help and i know there are reasons when a dog is allowed w/ no issue. i can't say he reminds me to take my pills.. but there are a lot of times he helps to ground me before i get too manic. wish i could take him to work... sorry digressing a little ....

I wish the dogs here were that comforting to me. I have the very same two conditions, you know (or so I have been diagnosed—I probably haven’t had a single therapist in my entire life who wasn’t a complete fool, including the one who diagnosed me, and psychiatric disorders are meaningless examples of statistical clustering anyway).

the swimsuit thing actually was a big thing for me.... i'm like a fish out of water five hours from the ocean ... i have always wanted to get my ocean water rescue certification... I used to be a trained lifeguard and i'd live in the ocean if i could....

What exactly is the problem?
