RNZ The Detail: Journalist David Farrier talks about his reporting on serious allegations of emotional and physical abuse at one of the country’s biggest megachurches: Arise. It was early May and Pastor Peter Mortlock​ was preaching to the converted. There had been trials and tribulations, highs and lows, but Mortlock had much to be pleased about. He founded Bays Christian Fellowship on Auckland’s North Shore in July 1982 and watched it grow and grow. In the early 2000s, the church, now known as City Impact, built a large facility complete with a state-of-the-art 2100-seat auditorium. Along with 10 campuses in New Zealand, there are 48 mission campuses in India, plus others in the Philippines, Mexico and Tonga. On this particular Sunday, nearly 40 years after the start of the City Impact story, Mortlock had good news and bad news.

We tend to be our own worst critics and fall into the habit of being tough on ourselves. In people with depression, this negativity can tip over into feelings of worthlessness, even self-hate. No depression can get better if that state of mind persists, but it’s not an easy matter to pull out of. Now Exeter University together with Oxford, and Magdeburg in Germany, has come up with a new form of cognitive behaviour therapy that can make us be kind to ourselves and prime us for healing. When I look back I realise I had to learn how to go easy on myself because I’m naturally a tough self-critic. One of the ways was to build in small rewards for jobs well done, even just saying to myself “that wasn’t too bad”. In my worst moments I came up with a list of affirmations I would repeat like a mantra to cancel out the negative thoughts. Mindfulness is being in the moment and research combines it with ­cognitive therapy. This mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can promote … [Read more...] about ‘Being kind to ourselves is key in the battle against depression’

Photo: Courtesy of Netflix Y’arr! Thar be spoilers below! It’s kind of poetic, really. Monopoly is a board game critiquing capitalism , where the unfettered growth of one player’s wealth and holdings leads to bankruptcy for the rest. Netflix is currently dealing with plummeting stock values and massive layoffs due to the ramifications of shareholder expectations that a company must show constant, unsustainable, impossible growth. Today’s Bad Netflix News Du Jour combines the topics, as a new edition of a Stranger Things Monopoly game available in some Target stores features spoilers for the upcoming season of the secretive science-fiction show. Back in April, Stranger Things fan accounts circulated photos of cards from the Hasbro game that appeared to reveal plot details from the upcoming season, which will be released on May 27.

South Pacific Pictures Shortland Street's original cast member looks back at what the show has meant to him and audiences. When wedding bells ring in Ferndale they often herald disaster rather than delight. In the 30 years Shortland Street has been on air, close to 60 couples have tied the knot. But for many of them, the happily ever after has been short lived. However, just like in real-life weddings, there’s a lot of planning that goes into the onscreen nuptials. There are cakes to source, venues to find and, let’s face it, most importantly, dresses to design and make. Most, if not all, those fairy-tale bridal creations are one-offs, designed and made by the Shortland Street costume department for each bride.
