A few months ago, I prayed that God would allow me to be addicted to Jesus if I'm going to be OCD about anything, and man has He answered my prayers. I'm not sure if it's *normal*, but I obsess over Him! I don't even remember any of my high school crushes ever being this overwhelming.

'I was diagnosed with OCD, depression, and anxiety disorder until I found a good Christian counselor who was willing to listen, and finally discharged me and agreed that there is nothing *wrong* with me at all, I'm just passionate about Christ.'
Riiiiiiiight...
You know he doesn't really look like they portray him in all those paintings don't you ?? I'm just trying to make sure you know you're obsessing over a short tubby middle eastern fellow and not that androgynous, toned, sexy but nonthreatening Jesus they dangle in front of your face to keep your repressed sexual urges focused toward the church.
At least this one is up front about the OCD. No, it's not normal. Demons use the same mechanism, don'cha know? BTW, how can you be sure it's not a demon masquerading as "Him"?

Normal or not, it's certainly unhealthy.

Quoted for Truth, Win the Internet, pwnage, etc.
Consider the “Teacher” who wrote the book of Ecclesiastes; he favored wisdom and supported the wise, but even he counseled moderation in all things:
(7:16-18) "Therefore be thou neither too righteous nor over wise, that thou perish not: be neither too unrighteous also nor too foolish, lest thou die before thy time. It is good for thee to take hold of this, and not to let that go out of thy hand. For he that feareth God shall escape them all."
If your mind is always on the world to come, you’ll be a seeker after death.
In other words, YOU’RE MENTALLY ILL (quoth I in the capslock of truth); GET HELP!
Wish I could see if "RDYRHIM" has a picture on her profile. Then i'd know if it'd be worth my while to grow a beard and turn up at her house in a robe.
"Verily, I hath returned my child."
"Jesus, Is that really you?"
"Yay, it is I. I am here to trigger the rapture- with your help."
"Me, Lord? But I can't announce the Rapture, I haven't got a celestial trumpet. What will I blow?"
"What indeed? Let's go inside and maybe we can-"
(At this point the script was heavily censored.)
"I don't even remember any of my high school crushes ever being this overwhelming."
That has me thinking Poe...how many of the RR Anti-Sex League are really going to admit to a high school crush, let alone crushes plural? That's lust! Oh noetry!
I have OCD.
It is not fun or spiritualy enlightening. In fact, when I tried to pray to help control it, it just started to get worse and worse ("What if I'm dishonering God while praying about this somehow? Like by thinking about non-religious things and taint it? Would God be displeased? Should I say another prayer to repent? And what if I screw up that one, too? The Bible doesn't have any answers for this kind of thing!")
I'm now on medication and happily agnostic, not due completely to my OCD, but it cetainly didn't make me more religious when no matter what I didn't I couldn't seem to get a straight answer out of the Bible or God.
Ow. Ow. Ow. I just read the entire thread at Rapture Ready and now my brain hurts. Got a kick out of the most recent post, however:
"I have been into endtimes stuff since 1972...1 year after got saved....it is great,praise The Lord....HE IS COMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG,PRAISE THE LORD,lets REJOICE and watch and pray and PREACH IT ,NO FEAR,FEAR GOD!!!MARANATHA!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Into the "endtimes stuff" for longer than Jesus supposedly existed on earth?????? That right there should be enough to knock some sense into these deluded fools. But, then again, I guess knocking sense into deluded fools is an oxymoron.
Jesus just wants to be friends, dude. He's just not that into you. Stop stalking Jesus! The court order says you have to keep 1500 feet from Jesus at all times; now get the fuck away from Jesus or he'll have to call the cops. No, Jesus doesn't want to read your "2gether 4ever with my Jesus" poetry. You've ruined Jesus' life.
"Stalker 4 Jesus" Award, methinks.
And JES? I think you misread that. 1972 is quite a bit later than the supposed date of Jesus' birth. I think we agree on the poster's level of creepiness, though.
@NonProphet - Guess I didn't write that very well. My point is that Jesus lived as a human on earth for 33 years, or so the story goes. The person I quoted has been fixated on "endtime stuff" for 36 years and counting. It just struck me as weird that this person's belief that we are in the endtimes has lasted longer than the entire human career of jesus. Of course, I can't think of a fundie belief that doesn't strike me as weird.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
