I certainly considered it, but I asked myself, if you take the option of God away from a pastor, what counsel do they have left? I mean, I used to be present for religious counsel quite a bit in my "p...

Wiretaps were nothing new in the 40's, but I think people would have been screaming bloody murder if they found out that every call they made was being monitored. Same with the mail if they found out ...

I haven't found anything yet but I'll keep looking. Some health insurance covers it, but I can't afford that either. I was sort of hoping that some counselors might do a free email service, or somethi...
