Most of what doctors call mental illness are spiritual issues.
The more sin, and inolvement with the darkness the more 'spiritual issues/mental illnesses'.
What is appalling is not deliverance as 'archaic beliefs' but the appalling thing, is christians are letting the devil sneakely do harm and do nothing about it, having the weapons and means through God to do so.

I know of a late Catholic religious sister (nun) who died fairly young in 2024, may she rest in peace, that was diagnosed with ADHD. She was a lawyer and incredibly intelligent.

I don't think it was a "spiritual issue" for her because she knew God quite well.

ADHD is very real. Some people just can't focus through no fault of their own.

My younger brother was "diagnosed" with ADHD and had to take medication for it. My oldest brother was "diagnosed" with it and had to take adderall.

Neither ever saw a psychiatrist.

I've seen 3+ psychiatrist in my life for other issues.

Peace

Trump removed Obama's hefty tax penalty I had to pay for not being able to afford healthcare. If I was a bum who didn't work, then I would've gotten subsidized. But since I had a job, I was out of luck.

As long as you keep going with the Trump is an evil despot who wants American citizens to suffer and die narrative, you'll never get a clear picture.

As long as you do not reply with clear evidence of what you are talking about - and keep avoiding the questions put directly to you - you'll never give a credible reply.

Nope. But I know Australia has a population of only 27 million, so that might have something to do with it.

Population is already accounted for in the graph - as it is per capita. So it has nothing to do with it.

You are right to not get married unless it is right for you.
I agree with you all the way on it.
Getting married to the wrong woman
is the kiss of death.

Hmm ... quality must vary from location to location.

My visit last week (21st) was fine. (I'm not a fan but I can find something to eat.)

As for cleanliness, my spouse notes almost every time we go that none of the tchotchkes have dust at all. It's pretty spotless.

My main complaint is that a number of items on the menu (drinks, mainly) weren't available. Supply chain issues?

I had a special: Steak and shrimp. The steak compared favorably to Texas Roadhouse and was cooked exactly as I ordered it. It was very tender.

Everyone at the table enjoyed the food.

I didn't try the corn bread, but the biscuits were buttery and compared favorably with Red Lobsters (without RL's special ingredients).

Anyway...

Mmmm, Texas Roadhouse. Much superior to Cracker Barrel. From my experience

Right its a subjective belief that a full democracy is better than a constitutional republic. That in order to me their standard you must be a full democracy. But that's THEIR standard. The argument has always been if a full democracy is better than a constitutional republic. And this group has made a subjective decision that a full democracy is better. I'm entitled and so were the founders to think its not.

You don't understand - at all.

Australia is a Constitutional Monarchy
America is a Constitutional Republic

Both systems can be GREAT - or not so great - or downright corrupt and betraying their values.
So how do we score that? Instead of ABCDEF whatever... The Economist democracy ranking goes Full, Flawed, Hybrid, Authoritarian.
It's just not debating whether CM or CR is better - it's grading the democratic standards and practices within those countries that are under either system.

Full is a good mark - for either system - Constitutional Monarchy or Constitutional Republic.
Flawed is not so good for either system - Constitutional Monarchy or Constitutional Republic.
Authoritarian is China or Iran - want to live there? Then ignore that your nation is already backsliding democratically and you'll be there soon enough!

Never happened.

Nobody was triggered, whatever that means.

No. Those logos were considered offensive by some and were removed.

Quite frankly, NONE of this is a real issue.

Things change.

It's inevitable.

We have bigger fish to fry, quite frankly.

Jesus did not avoid sinners

These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

It just astonishes me.

All UN Security Council members, except US, say famine in Gaza is 'man-made crisis'

In a joint statement, the 14 council members urged swift action as the famine in Gaza worsens, accusing Israel of blocking critical aid.

www.abc.net.au

Please define 'famine' (as the UN had just altered its definition of famine to allow it to declare to be Gaza be a famine zone). What evidence do you have (apart from biased UN and Gaza Health / Hamas sources) that there is a famine in Gaza? What independent stats do you have about people dying from hunger?

I just hope he puts his money where his mouth is, and declines medical care when he has an accident or gets sick. After all, who would want to be treated by the same doctors and associated health professionals he believes are part of a vast world-wide vaccine conspiracy.

True.

Shalom

Can you please pray for me that the Lord will open (heart)doors so that I can share the gospel and bear witness for Him.
And that He will grant me wisdom on how to be a fisher for men in Jesus' name?

May the Lord bless you abundantly (Luke 6:38, Job 42:10) and may He bless Israel in Jesus' name. Amen!

Soli Deo Gloria

PS And I pray that the Lord will send out harvesters into His harvest (Matthew 9:38).

4 CDC leaders resign over ‘weaponizing of public health’

At least four top officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) submitted their resignations Wednesday, saying the recent changes and leadership at their agency are preventing them from fulfilling their duties as public health authorities.

The resignations came the same day that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a slew of changes to limit access to the COVID-19 vaccine, and just hours after news broke that CDC Director Susan Monarez was ousted from the agency.

I mean it has to be hard relying on science, while the head of your agency is literally cooking the books Trump style.

The school system has made some changes for these non-school activities that will now mirror the existing rules for school hours:

"pool access requirements during non-school hours will mirror those during our standard time during the day of a 100% ID check against the sex offender database before anyone is allowed to enter any of our facilities, including the after school non-community time.”

APS says they have also posted “additional signage” to aquatic centers “that reminds all pool patrons to be considerate of others, privacy, cover intimate body areas when using shared spaces.” Superintendent Francisco Durán told APS families, “Arlington Public Schools will continue to foster an inclusive community for all, including members who identify as members of LGBTQ+ community.”

I don't care. Males DO NOT belong in female restrooms or locker rooms.

Their "identity" does not TRUMP the rights of REAL GIRLS AND WOMEN.

Saying that as a man who actually cares about the rights of women and girls.

Period.

A mother whose 9-year-old daughter encountered a naked male trans-identified sex offender in a school locker room spoke out at a Virginia school board meeting last week.

Jen McDougal was among several parents who spoke during the Arlington County School Board meeting last Thursday. The mother said that a year had passed since her family stopped registering for swim lessons at Washington Liberty High School in Arlington after an incident involving her then-9-year-old daughter.

“Last September, my daughter and I walked into the locker room, and a biological male who identifies as transgender and who also happened to be a registered sex offender, was standing there completely naked with no regard for the other patrons, among whom were at least a dozen little girls," McDougal stated.

The mother learned after the incident that multiple women had previously complained about Richard Cox, but no concrete actions were taken. McDougal declared that Cox's admittance into multiple Arlington County facilities is an example that the school division's locker and restroom policy is a failure.

Men do NOT belong in women's restrooms or locker rooms. PERIOD.

I don't care what they "identify" as.

If you are male USE THE MEN'S

PERIOD.

Regardless, other posters on this forum have verified my statement about the US having better freedoms of speech than the UK is correct. This whole back and forth about bacon was only to prove my point, which has been proven true.

That's not surprising.

Regardless, the UK could do better. Since they are OFFICIALLY a Christian country that should stand up for their beliefs and morals. Ya know?
