The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Thank you for these posts.

For many years, it felt like there was this external push for me to bury any traits that were feminine, vulnerable, and loving in myself. Because I didn’t have Christian Science, I kept being hurt and saw that the only way to stop being hurt was by shutting down the “weak” spots. I became very cynical of people and life in general, and of course, increasingly godless.

Now I see that this external push was animal magnetism doing its best to shut me off from recognizing the Christ and listening to God. It is so clear now that these feminine qualities are what make me strong, and receptive, and useful to God. Shutting them down was actually becoming weak, useless, and as close to nothing as someone could be.

I am so grateful to Christian Science and this church for teaching me about my true nature and how to handle malicious mind. Thank you!
