I used to be a Satanist. Am I now cursed for life?

Forgive me if this is a silly question. When I was a teenager, roughly aged 14 or 15, I used to be a theological Satanist. I used to meditate to demons, enter into temples within my mind to be with them, it made me a nasty person, and I believe (my memory is very foggy of this time) tried to give my soul to Satan, he tried to make me do horrible things, which I never did, and I think now that was God protecting me. I turned away from this, turned back to God and woke up the following day with three scratches on my forearm. I'm scared this makes me sound mad but I was and am fully compos mentis. Since then, I've sensed Satan in the world in certain places and in prayer have seen visions of sneering demons that still terrify me, the most recent being last night, my question is I am I cursed to hell, or am I saved by Christ, I believe in Christ, that he dies for us but just terrifies me that my faith may not be strong enough.

Is half a communion waver still communion?

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a silly question but I've just received communion today l, which for the first time was nlu half a communion waver, the priest was running out so she snapped it in half. I've always thought they would quickly go bless a few more. I'm 99% sure it's full communion but just wanted to ask how others felt about this?

How to stop picking my phone up

Hi,

So I've been practicing Christian meditation on and off for about 2 years now and really struggle to not pick my phone up and start scrolling and when I do start I can't stop. I feel pulled to do it and struggle to control that urge how can I stop myself from doing this as it's really getting between me and God. TIA.

Richie Anderson presenting all request Fridays for Sarah Cox, save me now

He's got the personality of a wet flannel , feels fake and he's trying way too hard. Good look to the guy but I would hate if he took over permanently, I felt second hand embarrassment just listening to him.

Emergency service drivers not using sirens or not changing sirens?

Hi all,

Please don't take this as a insult just generally interested. In my area I've noticed a lot of emergency service vehicles either keep the long tone on for every situation including junctions or don't use a siren at all? Is there a reason for this, I've seen quite a few people caught out by this at all was wondering if there is a operational reason why this would be done?
