100% agree. It also sounds as though there is a repression of a lot of anger in him. I'd *guess* it was anger at himself over something. Make no mistake, what he is doing is mental abuse. I once helped support a pastor's wife who was being abused by my pastor, so I do comprehend that there is...

Hi all, Its been ages since I've posted on this forum - its nice to see that its still here! I seem to be working all the time in a dull job, thats very unsatisfying for me. I'm 40 years old and dont want to be in the rat race for the next 25 years and then retire with a heart attack. I've...

Hi all, I've been a Christian now for over a decade - my bible knowledge is pretty good, and I know that feelings are sometimes misleading... but... At various times in my life I have sinned sexually, in ways that I dont want to discuss here at the moment - but I now that my wife and I are...

Ahem... this is a serious question for the guys...:) when its the right time of the month to get serious about hitting the bedroom, we both find that sex becomes a chore and its difficult to get in the mood and make everything work the way that it should. With being a bit worn out from looking...

I feel as though my situation has worsened in the last month or so - a horrible side effect of the ADs is that they make God seem absent. I'm so used to feeling his Holy Spirit within me always - thats been a one constant since I became a Christian. But now, I don't feel it. I'm trying to...

Thanks everyone, its so nice to be able to talk about this without feeling ashamed. 12 years ago, terrible things in my life threw me into a deep depression that looked like the drawing I did below - thats a spider down there in the pit of my mind. At the time, it clung constantly to the back...

Arrggg.... about 12 years ago I had a battle with severe depression. Now, after 12 years of reasonably good times, I've had some troubles at work and now I'm back in the pit again. I WANT MY LIFE BACK! Feeling miserable, tired, stressed and scared is no way to live, its a waste of my life...

the thing I found with the larger christian organisations is that they didn't let you have contact with the homeless unless you had qualifications - probably as a social worker. I assume its for legal liability and insurance reasons. Is this likely to be the case with the...

hehe... my lips are sealed!

I go to a pretty small and, truth be known, sort of dull, Anglican church in the Southern Suburbs. I've always had a heart for the homeless and suffering, back 10 years ago I went on a wild ride through the Eastern Sydney with some charismatics, distributing sandwiches from a van that we'd...

This time of year there are lots of thunderstorms in Sydney as the humidity has been building all day in the summer heat. Last night about 11pm, there was a train of about three storm cells that rolled over the top of where we live. Being right under a large thunderstorm is quite a scary...

I felt as though I had to tie up the loose ends with this desk/isolation issue at work that was getting to me... I spoke 1 on 1 with the General Manager who is the problem manager's boss and basically covered the following points Something I want to get off my mind so I can bring it to a...

Part of the torture is over, for a couple of months now I've been basically in solitary confinement at work, away from anyone to talk to or interact with - but worse, I can hear the other members of my team joke and laugh together while I'm unable to participate. I can only image for horrific...

Dear God, Help me hold it together, I'm at work at the moment and being driven up the wall. Pls pray urgently for calmness before I blow up

Thankyou everyone:) I can already feel that the wounds are not as raw anymore, and I actually feel as though he doesn't have that hold over me as much.

This is a situation at work... my manager's manager has made life hell for me for the last 6 weeks or so - its cost me in sleep, self-respect, nearly made me walk from a job that I used to love and taken away an opportunity to move into a slightly different role that I know I'd love even more...

This question is prompted from a situation at work, which I won't go into the details here as they don't matter for this question... suffice to say that I have been greviously insulted and am weighing up the best way to handle it. All Christians would be well and truly familiar with the idea...

Hi all, I've just gone and bought a 16Kg Kettlebell this week, and wow, what a workout! Does anyone else have one and whats your favourite exercise for a beginner? I'm going to start off very cautiously with the one and two handed swing and the clean. I tried the "get up", but can't manage to...
