that lost their way?
Self destructive behavior, loss of passion in path they are on.
Not picking on their choices but helping them be happier.

I'm at quite a loss for words - people in R&S always seemed so cynical - and here everyone is helping people!
How am I going to give 10 points to someone?

Grazie - Nice to meet you! How can tell GOD is not happy with you; your doing your best right? Then relax and know GOD is proud of you. That's all a person can do.

Blasfemur! - Sure, GOD tests people by many different means. People have free will and must be strong to avoid pitfalls right. Nice to meet an instrument of GOD. Peace.

I have worked at a Psychiatric half-way house company and at a care home company. I touched many lives.
One person in particular was obsessed with original sin.
Both his parents were violent criminals. He was trying to be a good and religious person, but felt that the burden of his parents sin, plus his own was too great of a weight.
I explained that the concept of original sin had been refuted, and that good people could come from a bad situation.
My favorite metaphor for this is The Lion King II. Scar's son was never allowed to show his inherant goodness because Simba judged him by his father's sins. Finally Kovu's selfless actions prove that he is not his father.

In the Army I help a soldier save his marriage, while working at the jail in Charleston county SC, I helped lead inmates to God, and help to make one inmate stop writing cuss word rap, as a ambulance chaplain I helped a lady stop wanting to kill herself, I have been used by God to help change the course of many lives.

No, but I have helped people find the values of self-destructive behavior and loss of passion in the path they are on. Does that count?

HA HA!!! LOL! That was hilarious!!
But yeah, I guess I can say that I have done that for a few people. But hey, all the glory goes to God right? The Bible says go out unto all nations and spread his word. Nations don' only mean other lands, but the people around you! Helping people is a hobby for me now!

I think I try every day to motivate my family. I try to talk to them about doing what really makes them happy and being successful at whatever they really want to do. I try and be there for my mom, dad, sis, cousins, everyone. And I want to show them that they can do good by living it through my life.

Yes I believe that I helped my brother become a movie director by motivating him all of the time to do it.

I've tried my best but it obviously it ain't good enough. I don't believe in God so I am doomed to Hell.
Nice culture!

Yes. I drove a friend to an abortion clinic and kept my mouth shut even though I wanted to tell her she was a nasty, slutty hoe with no self-respect willing to sacrifice a baby for her way of hoe life, and some crusty man.
She was pregnant again 4 months later. And she decided to keep this one. Lucky him.
