Its hard to say, many people do overcome it, many people do not. There's a never a one size fits all in regard to how this illness manifest and affects a person, or how they can overcome it. I think I will have to live with it, but I also think I can learn to manage it. I like to think of it...

1. Don't tell them to get over it. 2. Don't invalidate their feelings -don't tell them about how so-and-so's circumstances are worse, and ask what do they have to be anxious about? 3. Don't try to fix them. 4. Don't tell them to pray more/trust in God more, or that they must be disobeying God...

She was saying that you can't know exactly where that income comes from, you don't know how that merc was paid for -it may not have been paid out of their salary form World Vision at all. She's saying don't pass judgements when you don't have all the information. My mum works for the salvation...

Kinda like the huge Islam hate campaign. This event proves that there are crazies in every lot. In fact I wonder if there is a religious group who hasn't had members commit atrocities in the name of their religion?

That is strange, tithing's meant to come out of your income... credit isn't income. I wonder how much credit card debt is racked up through tithing? It'd be interesting to know. I read an article about mega churches and their tithing practices in New Zealand, one man used to like to give his...

I've experienced the legalistic tithing in a few churches, I don't think it's just a pacific islander thing. I have my own policy of getting up and walking out the door if I find myself in a church or at religious gathering that uses pressure and guilt to get people to give money. It really...

So the problem is that she's been singled out and the TAFE policy isn't being applied across the board. This is sounding more like a case of work place discrimination/bullying for the teacher. Which is particularly difficult as it can be a case of her word against theirs, not to mention the...

It's odd that they aren't allowed to accept gifts from former students, as there wouldn't be a possibility of it being construed as bribery in that case. Universities and TAFEs have a vested interest in covering themselves. If it even looks like there might be bribery going on then it can be...

It just appeared to me that you were making very large claims but not offering any basis or further explanation when I asked a specific question. The idea of governments using aid workers to gather military intelligence isn't shocking to me, but you can't just make that statement with out any...

I still don't understand what incident you're referring to, was NATO using charity workers to spy? or did NATO plant operatives as charity workers to spy? or was the charity spying of it own accord? Can I have the references to the documented cases of charities using spies? It sounds like...

I believe the answer you'll get is that is comes down to free will. What I'd like to know is, why would God test Abraham by asking him to kill his son? I thought murder was wrong? And isn't God all knowing, why did he need to test Abraham? Abraham was about to kill his son and what? God steps...

I'm not sure what you're saying here, I'm not familiar with the event... Where the aid workers in fact spying for Nato? Or were aid workers captured and assumed to be spy because they were ex-military? I mean, 3 american tourists were charged with spying in Iran when they accidentally crossed...

zestmarketing.com.au It's not so much that they are profiting from it that bothers me. Fact is when charities started using this way of getting donations, the number of donations went up exponentially... I'm talk about a huge, staggering raise in donations. This form of marketing does in fact...

You those times where you get a feeling, or you have an experience, but you can't explain it in words to anyones else, and it's hard to process because you can't put it into words. Then some one explains it and say "ahh!", so simple and eloquent, why didn't you think of it before? This was...

... but I really wish I could! In fact I'm ANGRY that can't just shake it off. There is no reason for my to feel depressed and worthless. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I'm smart (just finished a masters degree!), I'm independent, I have a wonderful boyfriend, I have an interview...

I also came across Australian Red Cross charity workers today, they almost made me miss my tram. Without being there and knowing the exact details, I'd say they were just trying to get your attention. They also don't work directly for The Red Cross, they work for a marketing agency that sends...

Yep. The married club is an exclusive club that you and I are not apart of. I realise marriage brings all sorts of new responsibilities, friends aren't necessarily high on the list of priorities, etc. My married friends are still the same people they were (and none of them have kids yet), we...

Fat shaming and skinny shaming, in my opinion, are two sides to the same coin. It's culturally specific thing also, in some parts of the world you will be criticised more for being "too thin", others for being "too fat". And in some parts of the world it might be said to you "Oh you're so fat"...

:) Long live second hand shops! I like local independent brands also. For the most part I sew my own clothes, though... there's just so much junk out there -over priced unfinished, poor quality, ill fitting, junk. And I say that as standard sized woman, so I can't imagine how difficult for some...

I read about this last year on another forum, the OP posted this article You Can't Show Some Lady's Bod In The Middle Of 'Dancing With The Stars'! : Monkey See : NPR and outrage ensued on that forum. Have a careful read of the article, and I'll cut and paste exactly what I posted on that forum...
