    Attracting the wrong kind of men

    What's going on is that you shouldn't be talking about your clients on the internet and if you can't be trusted to keep confidentiality she shouldn't be talking to you.

    Abortion

    isn’t this the equivilent of asking a group of christians if they believe that Jesus was born of the virgin mary? I mean, did you really expect anyone to admit they were in favor of abortion?

    Christian

    "Dealing with lust" only means you're a normal 16 year old teenager who is being strongly tempted. If the fact that we are tempted meant we're not christians there would be no christians on earth at all. Please talk to your youth pastor if you have one. It sounds as if you need guidance quickly...

    Crisis of Faith

    I think you see your intelligence as a curse. It was so much easier for my mother. She could believe anything. Her mind was of the sort that could hold five conflicting beliefs simultaneously and remain undisturbed. I'm not worried about you at all though. You're so young yet. You'll work it...

    Fed up with family and christians in general

    Can you handle a little tough love? I defer belief of anything you say, because I'm not getting a chance to hear what your friends and family say. You sound like you've got a bad case of personality disorder along with an unhealthy tendancy to shift the blame for your own faults onto the...

    Matt. 7:15-27

    I feel guilty

    You made a mistake. You're sorry you did. You probably learned something from the experience. I can't really prove it, but I seriously doubt you sinned. I've been taught that sin involves intent and will and it sounds like you had neither. One more point and I'm done. If it was sin...

    benefits of bi-polar...

    The benifits of a manic state are akin to the benifits of taking amphetamines and just as temporary and artificial. Whatever we experiences in these states are not the real us however much we may wish they were. I've been diagnosed bi-polar for 18 years and am now in complete remission. Don't...

    Wondering if BPD gets better as you get older?

    If you really want an answer to your issue, I suggest you check your local library. There are books which deal with specifically with the subject of Bi-Polar in elderly clients. On a personal note I'm 53 and in complete remission. I do maintain a litium level however, but there is hope for you.
