    Living with a person who has aniexty disorders

    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...

    Living with a person who has aniexty disorders

    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...

    Australian Red Cross - what happened outside the shopping centre

    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...

    Christian Fundamentalist Kills 90 ???

    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?

    Tithing in Some Pacific Island Churches

    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...

    Tithing in Some Pacific Island Churches

    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...

    Gifting of teachers from students is prevented at some tafes

    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...

    Gifting of teachers from students is prevented at some tafes

    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...

    Australian Red Cross - what happened outside the shopping centre

    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...

    Australian Red Cross - what happened outside the shopping centre

    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...

    A few things I am finding contradictory

    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...

    Australian Red Cross - what happened outside the shopping centre

    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...

    Australian Red Cross - what happened outside the shopping centre

    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...

    Depression diary

    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...

    I know I can't just shake it off...

    ... 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...
