In “The Crisis” by Thomas Paine, he compared King William with General Washington and he said that Washington “has a natural firmness in some minds wich cannot be unlocked by trifles, but which, when unlocked, discovers a cabinet of furtitude, and he reckon it among those kind of public blessings, which we do not immediately see, that God hath blessed him with uninterrupted health, and given him a mind that can even flourish upon care.”

Is This Story Legit ‘study On Prayer Reveals Correlation’?

Scroll down to ‘Early research’ I’ve pasted what it says below
Early research
Cardiologist Randolph Byrd did the first major clinical study on distant healing at San Francisco General Hospital in 1988. He divided 393 heart patients into two groups.
One group received prayers from Christians outside the hospital; the other did not. His study, published in the Southern Medical Journal, found that the patients who were not prayed for needed more medication and were more likely to suffer complications. While it had flaws, the study garnered considerable attention.
Since then investigators have continued to look at the possible effects of remote prayer and similar distant healing techniques in the treatment of heart disease, AIDS and other illnesses as well as infertility. Numerous experiments involving prayer and distant healing have also been done involving animals and plants. One such study found that healers can increase the healing rate of wounds in mice.
“Critics often complain that if you see positive results in humans it is because of positive thinking, or the placebo response,” said Dr. Larry Dossey, a retired internist in Santa Fe, N.M., and author of numerous books on spirituality and healing. “Microbes don’t think positively, and are not subject to the placebo response.”
In the early ’90s, Elisabeth Targ and colleagues at the California Pacific Medical Center studied the effects of distant healing on 20 AIDS patients. Schlitz, who worked with Targ (who died of a brain tumor in 2002), said the study found those receiving prayer survived in greater numbers, got sick less often and recovered faster than those who did not. A follow-up study of 40 patients found similar results.
At about the same time, Duke University’s Krucoff was leading a small but unusual experiment to determine if cardiac patients would recover faster after angioplasty surgery if they received any of several intangible (noetic) treatments. His study compared the results of healing touch, stress relaxation and distant healing with standard care.
Spiritual healers from around the world – including Jews leaving prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, Buddhists praying in monasteries in Nepal and France, Carmelite nuns in Baltimore offering prayers during vespers, and Moravians, Baptists and fundamental Christians praying during church – each simultaneously prayed for one of several designated groups in the study.
All of the groups did better than the standard care group, with those receiving distant prayers doing best. He has since completed a larger, multi-site study. That study – the largest to date – is currently under review for publication in a medical journal.

What Online Classes Should I Take?? I Need Some College!?

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:43:42 +0000

Right out of high school I attended 2 local community colleges…..a semester at each one. I was only going because all my friends were going and I took a whole bunch of nonsense classes. Like nonsense as in, one period was a religeon class, and then the next was human sex, and then child developement. I had no plans…..so I dropped out after a year. Well, about 4 years later, here I am, married with a 7 month old baby and a job working for Blue Shield of Ca where I have been trying to promote and move up but am unable to! I’m thinking about going back to school because it seems like everyone with authority here….or anyone about me in general….they all have a college background. So I’m thinking about taking some online courses so I can get something going and move forward in my career! I work in the health insurance industry and have been for going on 3 years now. I like it and there are so many jobs here that seem interesting to me…..so I’m thinking about staying in the business….or some kind of insurance. I have no idea what classes to take or what kinds of classes will help me in this field to get ahead. Any suggestions……I want to do it online cause it is literally impossible to go to class with my work schedule and taking care of my family. I was thinking maybe some business classes??? Should I try for a degree in business….I’m thinking that should take you a lot of places in case it turns out I don’t like health insurance anymore? Please help!! I don’t want to go to school again and waste my time!

Thinking About Marriage, But…?

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:43:37 +0000

I love my girlfriend to death and I want to ask her to marry me. We had a rough start but we haven’t had a fight or argument about ANYTHING in the last two years except on the topic of “prenups”(not about us in particular, in general).
My father was a very successful man and made a very healthy living. My mother decided that she wanted to quit school, quit working to care for the house and kids. My father was greatly against this and wanted her to continue schooling and go into a career. When growing up, my sister and I were in daycares even though my mother was home. I vividly remember fights because my mother didn’t want to care for us alone, clean up the house, or do anything.
The divorced years ago and now my father cannot support himself because a large portion of his income goes to my mother, who is a deadbeat and wanted nothing to do with us. She even got the house.
Here is where my girlfriend and I stand.
I am taking on a somewhat similar path that my father has. I was making enough at my work to move out when I was 17. I am in my 20s and I have my own home, a decent car, and a comfortable living. I am paying for my own education, I made it to where I am on my own without the help of others. I love my girlfriend, but I will not go into something that can leave me with half my income and no home in the distant future. She is going to school, contributing around the house and she is working. Before you say “If you feel this way maybe you don’t love her/aren’t ready for marriage.”, stop. There is always a possibility of something going wrong. That is why you put on seatbelts or have health insurance. Even though I am pretty sure I wont crash going 4 miles down the road, I am still going to buckle up.
My girlfriend says this “Marriage is a unity, husband and wife are one and anything they both do should be shared by each other. That is what marriage means. A prenup is saying that one person has doubts”

For Those Adoptees Who Really Were Given Away/abandoned…?

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:48:26 +0000

…rather than those who were taken from their mother, contrary to her preference.
1. Have you contacted/attempted to find your birth family?
2. For those who have found their birth family, did you receive a second rejection, or has it turned out ‘happy’ for you?
This got really long. Sorry. And thanks in advance to those of you who do read it all the way through.
==========
My Story.
I know for certain that I was both unwanted and neglected (at least by the time I was given away). While I’ve grown up hearing the stories about how poorly I was cared form it didn’t sink in until I read the following summary letter that the Child Services SWer wrote for me (identifying info. removed – I didn’t need to remove all that much).
**********
I have gone through your adoption file and this is a summary of the information it contains. Unfortunately there is no information about your birth and where you were born. The information it contains is very limited overall.
From the records your adoption was a private arrangement. This was not unusual at the time and private adoptions would be arranged through a third party, perhaps a general practitioner or a vicar for example.
The circumstances of your adoption with your mum and dad were that you were the daughter of a friend of your adopted mothers neighbour. This neighbour had heard that your birth mum had a new boyfriend and no longer had time to care for you.
There is very little information about your birth mother recorded on the file. Her name at the time was [name] and she lived at [address]. [name] already had another child called [sister] who was older than you. No other information about [sister] is given.
Social Services first heard about you going to live with your mum and dad from the health visitor involved. As a result a social worker went to visit your birth mother [name] at [address]. This was a two bedroomed flat in a multi storey block. The social worker who visited recorded that she had known [name] and her parents for a number of years and I believe she was indicating that there had been concerns in the past. When the social worker arrived at [name]‘s flat she found it to be in a state of chaos. There were empty cardboard boxes and litter of every description and old furniture piled up in every part of the flat.
[name] admitted to the social worker that through a neighbour, you had been accepted for adoption by your parents, [adad][amom]. She told the social worker that she had handed you over to you mum and dad on the 7th April 1973 when they came to the flat. [name] had told the social worker that she did not know your mum and dad other than they had no children and seemed to be fond of you. [name] had not made any enquiries about your wellbeing since and did not ask the social worker whether she had done anything wrong.
The social worker recorded that [name] gave no indication of having regretted her decision or of having changed her mind.
[name] explained that she had asked for a visit from a social worker and the indication was that because this had not happened she could not go on waiting and had made her own arrangement. When your parents collected you from the flat [name] signed a written statement giving them permission to adopt you.
There is further information recorded on the file in relation to how your mum and dad felt when they first saw you. Your mum may have told you about the conditions in which you were living. They described the flat as being in a very dishevelled state and this fitted with what the social worker who visited [name] had found. You were reported to have spent long hours in your cot and were extremely dirty when your mum and dad first saw you. You were very quiet and withdrawn and suffering with very bad nappy rash. They felt very concerned and worried for you.
When you first went to live with your mum and dad they were very concerned because you were extremely quiet and withdrawn. From what we have learned since about children who are neglected we understand that when a child hasn’t had their basic needs met they have become very quiet and withdrawn. These children quickly learn that crying doesn’t work as they still do not get what they need in the way of food, clean nappies and affection for example.
Gradually as you began to feel safe and to have your needs met you began to make more natural responses and soon began to cry and laugh and make normal movements. By the time you were nearly a year old you had developed a good deal and were walking and beginning to talk as expected for your age.
Your mum and dad made an application to adopt you in May 1973 and the Adoption Order was granted on the [date] August 1973.
I hope, whilst the information is very limited [my name] that it has helped you understand more why you were adopted and help you in relation to any decisions you may now make in trying to make contact with any birth relatives.

I Understand That There Is No Proof That God Does Or Doesn’t Exist…?

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:48:18 +0000

but why do people believe in the power of prayer when it has been continually documented that sick people do not benefit from it. Every legitimate, unbiased, study proves this to be true. So, while we can’t prove God does or doesn’t exist, it certainly seems that He doesn’t care too much about us on an individual basis if He does exist. And if He doesn’t care about us, wouldn’t that mean that He’s not all good? And if He’s not all good, doesn’t that shatter the general perception of the concept of God for billions of people on this earth? Why do people continue to pray? Does anyone know of any studies that show that there is a link between prayer and recovery? Preferably not one conducted by a religious organization.http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/he…

My Boyfriend Has Lied About His Past Sexual History?

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:48:05 +0000

I am 38 and my boyfriend of 9 months is 30. Prior to engaging in sex, we had several discussions about our past sexual history as I have not been with many men and I wished for us to both be safe. I disclosed that I had not had unprotected sex (and I haven’t). I told him that I was very discrete about whom I chose to be with sexually as this is my life and I am not willing to risk it for one night of sex. He said, “he was safe” (of course thats not something I would easily believe). Through our discussion, he did admit about having “unprotected sex” on a couple of occasions with his girlfriend of 4 years (only) but they were both tested. However, I was skeptical of his disclosure as, he repeatedly refused to wear a condom when we first started having sex (one time,he became very angry with me), which wasn’t until 3 months after dating. In our past “discussion” we brought up many things (we are very open about things), such as gay sex, threesomes, prostitutes, STD’s… All of which he denied as did I. However, just recently, he brought up having a threesome with me (WHAT???) which, he forgot we spoke about months ago. He said that they were fun. So I asked AGAIN, had he done that before and, his answer was yes. I reminded him that we had discussed this in the past and his answer was no that he had not engaged in this activity. He claims he told me. I am sorry, I would have remember that! I said, that it was doubtful that at that time, he practiced safer sex. And his comment was, “whatever” (He says he loves me but I don’t believe he cares about me). He replied, “why do you care, what does it have to do with you”? I said, his past is his past and, that he didn’t have to tell me everything, just be honest about “things” which could potentially affect my health. He said, my concern was nonsense, it happened 10 years ago and that I was making a big deal out of nothing. What an ***! I know we all make mistakes but it appears he is interested in having a threesome with me, something that i will not engage in. I think what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom is fine but for me, I have no interest in engaging in a threesome. His comment to me is that, “its just sex”. My concern is that he has been dishonest about a number of things as well (not just this) and I am now certain there are more lies in his history. I am just wondering what else he has lied to me about. I wonder what other “free spirited” sexual activity has he engaged in? He appears very uncaring about what he does with his life in general and, what he exposes himself to. I am not a perfect person and I don’t claim to be. I am not looking for “honest Abe” either, but to be dishonest and then not even apologize is uncaring. Lastly, honesty is a character in which I value and respect. If he had been honest up front about his sexual history (and other things), I would have been given the opportunity of making an “informed decision”. But by being dishonest with me, he has taken that away from me. And now I am concerned. Yes, I do love him. And, we have had unprotected sex. Should his past sexual youthful indiscretions be a concern or, should I move on and continue a relationship with him? Am I judging him too harshly?

How To Destress And Get The Right Focus For The New Year Ahead After Having Couple Of Bad Years?help Need Plz!?

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:48:01 +0000

hi…
atm i am really stressed out and my focus is everywhere but where it should be. and these past 3 years, life has just been going downhill so fast that i just don’t know what to do. im not sucidal far from that but i am machostistic…always have been… this is going to be more of a rant but please give me ideas of what i can do.
will give a brief summary because some things i feel really uncomfortable on saying and just was to give an idea of whats going on.
couple of years back i have been sexually attack as a minor which i am over now but is still a scares me. within the same year nearly (thank god nearly) kidnap and cousin was nearly dragged along with me while on holiday (she now refuses to go out anywhere with me…she is too scared…such bad luck i bring) even though wasn’t successful was violent and ppls ignorance is simply amazing seeing how it was a summers day in the middle of a city anyways…
then last year my uncel dies of stomach cancer, my little friend aged 4 who i use to take care of was killed in a hit and run getting out of school, my mate gets caught in the middle of a gangwar fight and dies and then my neibours sweet granny dies (who i liked very much) one week after the other which was upseting which was made even worse to the fact that my mum made me stay in school (not being able to go to a single funeral or meet up with my own family) and would punish me if i cried. so no more tears for me…
later that year ******* tries to push me out of the car while driving fast (and then runs over my leg after he stopped and i fell out)…
more… my mate getting mugged by a group of secondary school kids and getting put into hospital. (got them back tho) another mate getting put into acoma because of A RIGHT DIKE! and then tryin to return, yet again getting attacked again moving then out of the country. Also a gd night out at my friends bday party ending badly and having to run away from…u can guess…so many stupid ppl.
my best friends aunt goes through the same thing i did and because she couldn’t deal with it she lost her job and many more things. my cousin had a shotgun wedding and mum invites them to stay at our home and they turn everything upside down along with ruining gd family friend relations. there was also a terriost raid to my building due to neighbours along with countless stories(all this while i am doing my gcse’s btw)
that summer was realtively peacfully nothing out of the ordinary something gd happens which turned into the biggest mess the start of this year. my youngest bro born this year due to medical negligence no matter how much the deny it caused my bro to have quadraplic dystonic celebral palsy along with other problems that come with 02 starvation. medical team worked wonders afterward no denying that but still unforgivable. mum obviouly stayed with a sever depression and now out of hospital i take care of them both along with doing alevels. And then them allowing them home for the 1st night before my exam…speaking exam so ya that went good (got an A) but then when my mum allowed him to have 2 operations without my knowleage and going to the hospital and seeing him on the ventilator all bloody before a day of exams again which was chemistry, didnt go so well) these are A level exams and i got no extra marks or whatever you can gain.
I have had to stop several people commiting suciede themselves even if it meant leaving home in the middle of the night rushing them into hospital and getting punished afterward…(even though i think its worth it saving lives is better than not due to fear of punishment…)
…and then there is the general stress of doing 5 alevels were the norm is 3. silly me for doing more but earlier in the year i could handle this fine but everything seems to be building up on me now. Also my friend suddenly died of a heart attack age 17 who was previouly health day before this christmas eve.
i have 6 exams in january and i have not been able to focus at all. when im at home its taking care of brother and unstable mother along with domestic chores (which are especially important because of his weaken immune system of all his respitorial problems, feeding problems so on) and when i do finally leave everything i am too tired to read a revision guide (because my college can’t even afford text books for 4 people) and i can’t afford it either even with a job which i use the money to help for house hold. i get NO help from school what so ever and i am an ill person myself and in winter i am especially worse with the hospital keeping an eye on my health (well not really they tell me to come in wait hours for a 10 minute vist) even with medical notes the college says that i have been a truant and have been getting lower grades than i should with having a meeting with the head teacher who had the cheek to tell me that i would not be able to get into a university and i will not succed in life. which i found extremly harsh
