The Aftermath
Hey guys, I was just wondering about something. After this whole unfortunate news event, I wanted to see if anyone was experiencing the same things at home with their parents. They are now very paranoid about my being online because of the rumors traveling about, and they want to know every single thing going on to make sure I don't give out any info, etc, etc. They also become very scared to see the religious sites because of the above said rumors. I was interested to see if anyone was having the same issue, and to see how they were dealing with it.
Thanks in advance,
Sleepy

Well after what happened I was a little freaked out, I cried a lot for the first day and I was very upset, infact I was very sad the first 2 days and I couldn't stop thinking and imagining what happened, it reached the point that I felt unsecure and kinda felt a little uneasy with going on websites that relate to Religion anymore, as for my parents, well my dad was like that's very sad but my mom was like DON'T EVER GO ON SUCH WEBSITES AGAIN....I hope things kinda calm down later on....

its okay they LOVE you so much... you gotta be happy.
I know they do, and I really do appreciate it, but some things are really going overboard like this fear they have against religious websites now. But who knows, maybe I'm not the only one, keep the replis coming you guys.

but my mom mostly
every time im online i have to be asked of what am i doing and why and how long
ive been warned abbout the websites and the chatrooms for like a thousand times
and about the doors, i really dont blame them because im a little paraniod myself, my aunt callls to check on us and to tell us to lock the doors and stuff
i dont know if its a sin or not but ive been very scared lately. for example
yesterday i was up late alone because i had two papers to write and it was like 2 in the morning and i was terrified to death. i kept thinking of what i would do if someone attacked me and i kept thinking of the easiest way out. LOL
im werid like that
but its just bec i was alone and all i keep thinking about is the incident, that have been on my mind since i heard about it. so finally when i was done and i went to bed, i still couldnt sleep AT ALL thinking about if anyone breaks in'
i really hate the fact that these guys that did this affected our lives like that
i shouldnt be affecteed and i shouldnt be scared like that
so anyway i wondered off the topic, my point is that yes my parents are the same thing
and they cant stand me being online anymore
they have to be on my back LOL
also when i was in bed i kept thinking if someone broke in should i prretend to be asleep or scream and yell for someone to help
i reached the decision that bec my room is the only room on the first floor in my house and all other rooms are upstairs so i figured that they wont hear me if i scream so i found that the easiest way is to run out of the house. LOL (if they give me a chance)
Switch rooms!...lol...if you have brothers make them sleep on the first floor...lol... ;)
i guess im the brave one LOl
from outside but from inside im terrified
LOL... ;D

thats the aftermath of it on me n ma family
i didnt say anything bad about their religion except that i pointed out all the stuff that their religion said
and that seemed to get them very angry
so i stopped when that incident happened
she says how can u trust them.
on one hand i dont blame her but on the other hand i wanna be free to say anything that i wish and to preach my religion
afterall that is what god intended us to do
my parents dont want me even on this site.
its okay to be scared, but we cant let fear take control of us and take over our lives
when God chooses the time... IT'S TIME.... whether in the car, on bed, walking... or even taking a dump (elvis?)
use all sound so like afraid an all but remember one thing.
dey were all martyrd 4 da name of our saviour jesus christ. can u imagine dyin 4 him how great ur reward would b.
plz don b scared but find it as a way of freedom from dis world. i know cus were onli human dat our emotions an feelins get out of hand but try an control them an ask god 4 help and he wont let u down
bye
May God always stand by us and make us stronger and dissapate all the fear!Amen

Our freedom of speech, where is it? Have they stuck their knives in our mouthes so that we SHUT IT! By all means, let us not allow this to happen. The Gospel tells us not to be scared of him who kills the body for after killing us he can do nothing else but we shoyuld fear him who tortures the soul......God told Joshua "Be Strong and of GREAT courage...." and I think this goes for all of us...
Mike
Good word,Mike.
sleepy
for me theres nothing to fear
i would rejoice and proclaim witha voide of joy if i was martyred
aghape,
chris
