Re: Disability discrimination

While I don't agree with what you say happened, this is my take on the governing individual churches. In the 1800's churches charged for pews.  The rich got the nice comfortable pews in front and the poor stood or if they were lucky they had hard benches to sit on.  This was regulated by a governing...

Re: Disability discrimination

I have a choice of afford it or lose everything by moving into assisted living. We have spent close to forty years saving for retirement, working hard and overcoming a lot.  Now because I got an infection volunteering it looks like we might lose all.

Re: Disability discrimination

My belief is that the evil one delights in this kind of thing because it divides and causes bitterness.  This then destroys or witness.  I agree that discrimination the cover up is non-loving, therefore a sin, but then the unforgiving is also a sin.  Which is greater?  It hurts me to think that a ch...

Re: Disability discrimination, part 2

Cactus Jack,  I understand the discrimination given people with TBI and PTSD.  I have a friend that lost his kids because he had TBI and PTSD even though had been their primary caregiver for their whole life.

You have my prayers.

I too have TBI and PTSD.

Re: Disability discrimination

Empathy and compassion

People that have dealt with difficulties are thought to be more compassionate and have empathy for those facing difficulties.  I'm finding that in many ways this isn't really true.  There sometimes appears to be an attitude of, " I've dealt with it, why can't you? "  Or then the comparison game.  I'...

Re: Greetings from the Colorado Rockies

I would like to see the forum get much more active.  There are some things that are better discussed in this format than the chat room.  I personally think that both venues are important for mutual support and friendship.
