  I want to go on a working holiday visa to australia, im 19 years old and cannot hold my focus in uni because i was depressed but now mended

  so i finished my final year and was forced to attend university even though i was in a crippling depression in my final year, dropped out but attained a high enough mark to get my first choice in uni.

  long story short, i wanted to go travelling before uni to broaden my perspective and for a chance to be free and travel australia.

  however i'm only 19 with experience in mostly farming and small company manufacturing i don't think i would be equip to get a job to sustain my travel.

  A world without religion? Any different?

  by punkofnice in

  i wonder what it would be like, without any religion in the world?

  i don't think it would be like 'imagine' by lennon.. i don't believe it will ever happen.

  even if it did, people are the same.

  I've just discovered it and love it. Just finished the first series within a few days. Can't wait to see how it develops!!! I've noticed the little clues in between the ads but couldn't figure out what they meant. Will google fringe code!

  JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.

  god forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.

  so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.

  a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

  My grandma insists that her funeral talk is to be a fine witness- she's already written what she wants said (it is mostly JW stuff). She thinks that when she dies and the hundreds of 'worldly' people and family who will attend her funeral and listen to what she says, having been divinely inspired by her faith will all turn around and be baptised as JW's.

  Don't the scriptures tell us to be imitators of Christ? If he had a beard shouldn't we imitate him also by growing a beard? (I so wish it wasn't socially unacceptable for a woman to have a beard, I could finally let my facial hairs go crazy)

  Meanwhile, every one living and working at Warwick will develop tumours and cancers from the toxins left over in the ground and will be too sick to write any more publications...

  When I first left and was disfellowshipped, no. When I got reinstated, and have now faded for more than 3 years, yes I am more moral now. I have values that I live by and I believe in karma so I try to do the right thing as best as I can.

  Do you need Art and Music in your life?

  by The Rebel in

  music and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.

  my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.

  " i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.

  I love music and art. I make my living from painting and it's a full time job for me - supplying several galleries with my work. I started earning money from painting when I was pioneering more than 15yrs ago. It suited the lifestyle. But then when I quit pioneering due to depression, sisters would make snarky comments about how can I go have an exhibition and do all that painting when I can't even pioneer.
