It's possible. It happened with Judas Iscariot. Matthew 27:5.

But....he played a pretty important role in that he was the disciple that betrayed Jesus. I suspect that what he has in mind for ordinary people going through difficult times is more like Psalm 23:4, Psalm 24:16, Psalm 22:24.

Whatever YOUR health issues may be, you can ALWAYS look around and find someone else who's worse off, and who still thinks life is worth living. Funny how things don't seem quite so bad when one realizes that they're worse for someone else. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not. But it's human nature. Such is the nature of human nature. Confused


I'll have a to lookup those scriptures later. I don't deny Jesus, but he seems nowhere to be found. I was going to church and even volunteering at church helping with the slideshow. I reached a point though where it was difficult to go to church when God continuously ignored my prayers for guidance (not even for outcome).

It cheered me up a little getting in the office today and getting paid. It just blows my mind though that after this week I won't even have a car to use to get to the office and I make $47/hr.

That seems like an very small hill for a mountain climber. You make $47/hr - take 3 weeks pay and go buy a $5000 car. Where is the hurdle?

Well a small hurdle was me considering ending it all today. That made a big difference my mom let me use her car, I didn't think she was going to let me.

Jesus can be pretty hard to find in most churches. Rolling Eyes
I do believe God answers prayer .... when you ask Him for what He wants you to ask Him for. Trying to figure THAT out is NOT easy. There's something I've been asking for over 30 years on a daily basis and still no answer. Or maybe I already got the answer and just haven't been willing to accept "No" as an answer. That then would be MY problem and not God's.


I've gone to good churches, but one of my problems is isolating. I don't talk to anyone really. I've had demons I wrestle with that makes it easier that way. hapilly those seem better lately. It's like lifted me inside, but doesn't want to with money. I don't understand it.

My life was lifted, but not my financial situation.

Lately I've gotten pretty depressed, but at least life or God like lifted my heart and had me notice some health improvements. I paid some money for Google adwords to a blog I wrote regarding a personal loan. I also posted on this site in the money making opportunity section. I can offer someone a chance to make a lot of money with little risk and can't get anyone to say tell me more.

Every day is a battle. I'm back now to considering working two days to get enough money to buy a gun and kill myself. I doubt I will, but maybe.

It seems so retarded I'm stuck in this situation when all it would take to get out is someone who was willing to make some money off me.

Once upon a time there was this man who wanted to kill himself, but he couldn't find a cliff high enough to jump from.

So he kept walking and walking, passing cliff after cliff, then moving on to find a higher one and a higher one.

Eventually after walking the entire length of the land, he found a cliff high enough to jump from.

But he then thought of all the things he had seen on his walk - the butterflies, the rabbits, deer, horses, birds, rivers, fish, stars, the moon, the flowers, the countryside, the sea, the clouds and even the smell of the air.

He then said to himself, "Actually I don't want to kill myself now."

Not all countries can afford... a lavish monarchy.

If you stop thinking about it, it will no longer seem retarded because you'll no longer be thinking about it.

Think about it.


How long do you expect me to be able to go without thinking about it? Think about it.

Especially considering I have tons of time to dwell on things. What I needed was someone to give me a small loan to get me moved by the beach so I would feel like going for a run or something with free time instead of going in circles. I make about $50/hr and can't even get a $5k loan to save my life. You know what. I don't even want one anymore. I would have hooked people up to. I was serious about offering returns of upward of 10x maybe in less than a year. I feel like saying **** you to the world now.

I woke up early today. It looks I may get to prove that I can earn over $400 in a day by getting in the office early. Maybe enough money for a gun after work.

One of the things I'm confronted with is what is reality vs what it seems like. For instance, how do I know this isn't just a bad dream? A more concrete example is are banks really as stupid as they seem? I wonder if reality is playing tricks on me. Then again, it's hard to ignore bank employees telling me how it is. Quotes from people that tried to help me at my bank "I'm sorry to see that, we lose a lot of business that way" and "we don't even have a way to override that." That latter quote was in response to me needing a check printed with my name on it so I could get a payday loan. They came back saying they couldn't because my account was negative and not even a manager could override that. With all the BS shit people get sued for, that is actually something I could see being successful in court. In my example, I ended up in the hospital for over a week and almost died for something that nearly for certain would have kept me out of the hospital and cost them less than 10 cents. It seems pretty likely someone needing a payday loan would have a negative account balance. The payday loan place was like no problem as long as it's not more than a couple hundred negative. Then beyond my bank is the failure I've seen with how car dealerships can handle credit situations. I'm a perfect candidate to finance a car, except for my information is harder to process and understand. Seems like a perfect opportunity for a smarter lending company or a lender advising company that basically all dealerships know about. Not only was I turned away from all of the ones I went to, they couldn't even give me advice on how to get a car when it made sense. Instead they want to fit me into their system and say things like I need to deposit my paychecks and come back in 3 months. That is a retarded outcome given circumstances and goes on the list of things that would have likely saved my life if they hadn't been retarded.

It's sad the situation includes my parents not having helped me and having only horrible excuses. I thought I had great parents, but it looks like I will likely die wondering if I should and would love them if I knew the truth. They could have helped me really easy. I was told things like "there is no money" while a shoebox on the kitchen table had like $100,000 worth of old coins in it. My Mom (tho divoriced) even supported my Dad in that statement. Once again, I was fucked over by ethics. If there was no money, I should have just taken what I needed without asking and paid it back later. Then there was a $2000 gold coin my Dad lost and came to accept losing. I found it behind the dresser like a month later and mentioned to my Dad since it was like a surprise getting that money, maybe he could look at helping me with it. He refused to acknowledge there was any aspect to the situation that would justify him being in a better position to lend the money. He could have made money from me and allowed me to have the best years of my life. Instead I always heard "if I gave you the money, I would have nothing now" until he ran out of money and filed bankruptcy. Maybe it's like a bad dream though and not real. Maybe nobody did wrong to me with these retarded situations. It's what life makes seem real though.

If only it were that simple. I'm beyond wanting to kill myself. I'm a good person and don't even care a little about going to heaven or existing after this life.

Ironic I grew up as a boy not believing in God and having a lingering feeling of sadness that everything is over after people die. Now I totally believe in God, I just don't care and will pray for the outcome I found so sad as a boy: to not exist.
