Oren_Otter† 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2013 Hi. I'm Oren. Some of you will remember me. Few of you fondly, I'm afraid. I am, as Iron man put it, "a man with breathtaking anger management issues". Those are finally coming under control, as the problem was a physical one. We know what it is now, and are taking steps to eliminate it. Now begins the long, hard process of fixing what I broke. I'd like to start in the Christian furry community by just being here. No railing, no blaming, no trying to set myself up where i was again. I just want to be here. that's all.

Direlda† 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2013 Hello Oren! *Direlda bows in greeting* May God bless you as you journey toward reconciliation. It isn't easy or quick, but it is something we should strive for, so I am glad you have decided to start down that road. There is no future without forgiveness.

Oren_Otter† 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Lu-man, yes, that's me. I don't remember being here before, Seven. But these days, that doesn't seem to mean much. I've been experiencing severe memory loss. I suppose I should tell you what's going on. I seems that I suffer from abnormally high testosterone. The symptoms include irritability, aggression and fits of rage. I'm currently taking over-the-counter testosterone blockers and they seem to be helping. They have made the emotions managable. Next week, I'll be talking to my medic about going prescription strength. They are causing mood swings, and those do hurt, but I'd much rather hurt than hurt others. The side effect, which is almost funny, is that my body is feminizing. Since I have a split personality and share a body with my wife, I'm counting that as my gift to her. For those of you who have not heard, I'm no longer the pastor at the old CFF. I may go back to the pulpit someday if God wants me there, but I have taken time off to work on myself. Instead, I'm serving as the music director for both the CFF and the local church. Music is a passion of mine, and I'm happy doing it. I'm also a listener in the 3-4th grade boys AWANA club. My son, Firoz, will be in third grade next year, and he's doing a bang-up job in AWANA himself. Between all that, my wife's comics and the radio station, I'm keeping pretty busy. I've become more disabled these past couple of years and have great difficulty working, even at a desk job. My biggest prayer request right now is for some means of supporting myself financially. So that's what's going on with me. Thanks for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu-Man† 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Ah, I thought I remembered you from way back when! I enjoyed your stories then and the web comic that you had created. I'll definitely throw my prayers behind you on this one. I know God has a plan for you somewhere in this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oren_Otter† 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I don't know if I mentioned it, but I have multiple personality disorder. It's not quite DID, but it might as well be. We've got over 50 alters. Some of us are looking for new friends after recently suffering heavy losses. I myself am looking for a new best friend.
