CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I'm not sure where to put this so I chose General. Mods, if this needs to be else where, then go ahead a move it.

I felt I needed to get this off of my chest....I cannot describe how much CAA has helped me, shaped me, and challeneged me. This fall however, I neglected CAA and kinda left. Not because I was bored or lost intrest. I just stopped visiting. I went to different forums and became members there. I noticed though when I was away, my internet life spirtually declined. I became hostile to people who didnt share my values, morals, and ideals. Instead of acting like a Christian, I became mean sprited to people. I soon began to feel lonely and thus affected my outside life. I neglected my family, my friends. I decided to leave the forums and i returned here to CAA. It remained like I left it (though slightly more insane ^_^) It was such a relief and a joy to communicate with Christians and talk about Christ and his love where in the forums i belonged to didnt allow that. I feel a close kinship with every member here. I don't dislike any like I found myself oing on the forums.

I remember coming to CAA close to a year ago and I was struggling with depression, porn, friend issues, and problems with God but with your guys help and general attitude, I have stopped looking at porn, still depressed but not as much as I was, my relationship with my friends is good, and my relationship with God is great.

I just want to thank everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for being such great brothers and sisters in Christ ^_^

*hug*

im thankful for the mods as well ^^ you guys are awesome, and CAA is the best place on the net

*BIG HUG* ^__________^ CAA is a very special place.

Glad you're here.

I've found my attitude is different here at CAA than on other forums, too. I haven't been to another forum in a loooooong time... Things tend to get hostile in other places, but not here. (At least, not for long.)

I'm glad your back; I agree that this is a really great place. ^__^

CAA really is a very special place.

It's definately helped me alot with Hentai too. I rarely watch it now and if i do start to watch it i can turn it off. Just talking with other christians is a great help

Wow. That's the kind of stuff I love hearing about, Hitokiri. Especially when some nights I'm forced to make a difficult decision, or deal with some nasty things and I think to myself, Why am I doing this? Why do I put up with all of it? But then God, our ever patient Father, reminds me of stories like this and I remember that CAA is really making a difference in the world. And that gets me excited and thankful just to be a part of it and motivates me to keep going. I'm so glad to hear that CAA has really been a good influence on your life, I really am. Thank God that He uses us poor, dirty, rotten sinners and changes us into tools He can use! And that's the kind of stuff I like to see us accomplish...yes, I would eventually like to see CAA putting out Christian anime/manga "alternatives" (I hate using that word) and media and stuff...but the fellowship is the most important and truly meaningful part of this ministry. Thank you so much for sharing, Hitokiri. And we're glad you're back to run more contests!

Thank you very much for saying this. It makes the work I put into this seem very worthwhile.

Yeah Hitokiri, welcome back! *hugs*

If I do join other forums, it's only because it already has my CAA buddies there too. Yup, there is a huge difference between the atmosphere and members here as compared to some others outside.

It's nice to have a place where I can be just my crazy and hyper self here (Have I said "thanks for putting up with me yet"? LOL)

Woot! CAA is awesome. It has also helped me out. Especailly PM'ng freinds and having them pray for me. (You know who you are and thanks!) HitoKiri I've come to see you kind of as my brother on CAA even though we've never talked to each other. But you hold a lot of the same veiws and love the same music that I do. Thanks CAA for putting up with me!!

*hugs* Glad youre back! ^_^
