How many of you would really care if somone on here died or killed themselves?

Talk about anything in here.

I'm really new, I don't really know anyone that well yet, but I know I would be hurting to see anyone go, especially another believer. We're all part of the same Body of Christ and when one part suffers, the whole Body suffers. :sniffle:

Sheesh, I did not think anyone would want to start something like this, but anyways, I would be sad and I would be suffering as well to know one of my friends I have or I have not met has passed away. We should not think that no one will care if we die because that is not true, we love each other and God loves us too. Pray for comfort, for forgiveness, and try the best to make friends if that is the trouble.

To think about death is to think about not having God in your life. If there is anyone here who feels that no one cares, that you want to end it all, do not, do not think that way, because speaking for everyone here, we are here for you. We are brothers and sisters in Christ.

We love you.

I saw more people say they'd help than I exspected, I've got a lot to answear here,

Lunis-I must not have been looking or ahve been blind, The replies to this thread alone gave me a good slap in the face for a wake up.


Dragonslayer wrote:I see less of people being helped here and having there problems solved here than any other form where people simply want to help each other out


And about the support thing, no I did not think badly the moment, the truth is I stopped coming a lot because I felt no one really cared and I had no friends, I went to far useing the words "screwed over twice" and im seeing how a lot of you are trying to help me, which in all honesty, surprises me, I've NEVER seen a person trying to help another after such a post as mine.

Dragonslayer wrote:I have more support from a secular post than here, than I EVER got here, Just think about it.


this third part, I cant tell you what your doing wrong because I dont know adn dont think you are anymore.(the whole board)

Dragonslayer wrote:maybe it was jsut me they decided to screw over twice then huh? twice I've been here udner two different names and both times ntohing good has come of it, no bad either but, tell me.


A VERY long time ago I signed in here udner a different name on a different server, A Anti Anime thread was psoted, only people that have been here form the begining on all servers will remember this, the one that posted name was D3monhunter, I actually know him in life, he is to this dya my best friend, of course that being the case then, people wernt to nice to me since I was his friend, no one liked his thread and some of them didnt realy like me. back then I was to young to understand that a few people dont make the whole thing bad. But I never really thought about it again for a while.

Dragonslayer wrote:Look at your slelf, your lifestyle, your everything and ask yourself, are you really acting like a christian?


I wasnt saying I knew how your lifestyle is, Im asking you to look at it.

I'm glad you are feeling better about things Dragonslayer. ^____^ You can pm me also if you'd like to talk.

I have to point everyone to Rev.Doc because he makes a very intelligent and valid comment. Please don't look to CAA for your only social outlet. There is a wonderful world out there, and I really hope you all are enjoying it. It was made especially for you by none other than... God. ~_^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

There are some people currently on this board I'd like to give a shout-out to concerning this subject: Roland_Deschain and Zarn_Ishtare.
DON'T YOU EVER DIE.
If there's ANYONE on CAA I;d cry for if they died, it'd be them, DESPITE horrible things in our pasts...I'd still cry for them.
And to Vash_the_Plant and Veta_Orilion as well. They're my bff's here in FL and I'd cry for them so much...
And I;d cry for Inkhana, Yeito, UC, the Knights, Ashley, heck..I'd cry for you all.
So if anyone here is thinking of suicide, talk to me first because I'M the one who will cry for you...even if we've never met.

As will I too...*salutes with sword in front*...if you need to, talk to me as well, I am always here to help you. If you want, PM me instead.

God loves you and so do I.

This is my 100th post so I will say this:

We have been here long enough to know
That we are all brothers and sisters in Christ,
So if you need any kind of help,
We shall give you great advice.

May God add his blessings upon you,
That you will live this day and forever,
And when He comes to save us again,
We will all go together...

Into Heaven for Eternity...

I would feel bad, yet my life would go on. We are all kind of anonymous here on the board, in spite of the pics of ourselves some of us have posted. Please don’t hesitate to ask us for help, but we can only do so much – pray for you and give you some encouragement through a post or PM. If you have serious issues, I would encourage you to seek out help. Meet someone face to face like a pastor or a counselor.

That’s my two cents anyway. More importantly, know that you are loved and you have friends here DS. I think you have already seen that even though anger is often a first response for a lot of us even when you are only associated with someone who flames us, but after the emotions cool down a bit, we still care and want to encourage you.

Peace be with you.

Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Hmm.. well, I really don't know. Honestly, I think that I would be upset, but I don't know to what extent... Ah, well, I hope this doesn't happen for a long time. And, well, assuming from the contents of previous posts, DragonSlayer is feeling better, and that's what matters.

I don't really like the feel of this thread, but I'll answer anyways. I would really care. Honestly. I've never even be an aquaintance of anyone who committed suicide. So I would definitely care.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Actually, I think this is a very important question. I suppose it depends what you mean by "care".

I've been on a lot of boards over the years. On some of them, people would talk from time to time about other members who left before I'd joined. Even though I never knew them (but could read their posts), there was a certain sense of loss. Like Donne's "No man is an Island...", there was a sense that something was missing.

So, if someone on CAA committed suicide, or if they died, I think I'd feel that loss. Life, of course, would go on, but there would be that hole there. Does that mean I care? I suppose so. I guess I would feel more caring if that person contemplating suicide came and said they were thinking of it; that would spur me to action (prayer, talking, some sort of intervention). That would be an outlet for my caring, but what remedy exists for the person who has already died? I can do nothing except console the living. I guess that, too, is caring, but in a different way.

I guess we all have a need to know our lives are validated, that we mean something to someone. That, I believe, is planted in us by God, and meant to be filled by God and, by extension and God's design, each other. "Love one another as I have loved you".

I hope you find consolation in all the answers that have been provided here.
