When everyone and their dog in Hollywood goes out and get’s face surgery and botox, no wonder you can’t recognize anyone.

that one that wanted to be called a boy as a child has started wearing dresses and wearing make up.

She is actually a pretty good dancer and has showed up in some videos.

Look, I ‘ve never met the woman…..and yes she started off ‘peculiar’…..
….but I really believe she loves her children
…and her dad is associating, visiting his grandchildren…
…and she made an excellent movie ….Unbroken….about forgiveness, based on a World War 2 hero and Christian ( saved at a Billy Graham revival)

I say cut her some slack.

No slack from me. She is doing everything she can to destroy Brad Pitt.

He can't recognize or distinguish faces, but all of his former wives and former girlfriends are attractive and almost all of very attractive.

Perhaps he should tell friends and family to stop getting so much plastic surgery.

‘Nobody believes me!’

Brad - I don’t think anyone cares.

“Nobody really understands how the brain really works. The brain is 90% phospholipids,..”

Evidently neither do you.
The brain is 73% water.
24% of the 27% that is not water is phospholipids.
That’s 6.5%, not 90%

Maybe you should shut the he!! up.

The Lord put it on my heart to pray for the Japanese. Weird.

Maybe not so weird.

Prayerfully read Luke 14:16-24. It, like most parables, is a picture of God leaving the Jews to reach out to the Gentile for 2000 years after the cross. Time's almost up.

There are three stages in this parable which is about being invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb:

1) His first invitation is to the Jews who bacially said, "Fugeddabouddit" (vs. 16-20).

2) Next he goes to the poor, maimed, halt, and blind (the Gentiles and how the Jews thought of the messed-up Gentiles) (vs. 21).

3) Finally his unnamed servant (the Holy Spirit) comes and says "There's still room" so the Master says to go to the highways and hedges and "COMPEL" them to come in (vs. 22-23).

I believe we are on the very threshold of this third prophetic part: a final, merciful, and loving ingathering of souls to rescue all he can before the soon-coming unbelievably horrific, seven-year, soon-to-come tribulation.

God bless.

Well, presenting doctors with some ambiguous symptoms that could be caused by any number of things is a little different from telling a doctor “I can’t recognize faces”. If you have had that all your life and it’s not due to some recent incident like a stroke, there’s probably only one condition they are going to look at, I think.

This is true. Getting diagnosed for an autoimmune disorder is very difficult. Venus Williams took years to get her diagnosis.

Not recognizing faces should have a pretty narrow scope of causes.

I have very poor vision and trouble recognizing people at a distance. People think I’m snobby because I never wave back or smile at them in passing.

But if you aren’t standing a foot in front of me, I don’t know who you are and I have resting bitch face because I’m always squinting.

And I am very good at recognizing voices. If I go deaf, I will be up the creek without a paddle.

So almost 90% of the brain that is not water is phospholipids.

Doesn’t seem worth telling someone to go to hell over.

Lighten up, Francis.

I think that the condition could be compared to how we perceive and identify dogs' faces.

I can distinguish a really ugly dog's face from a pretty dog's face - but I can't (at least without considerable time) distinguish one dog's face from another dog's face (if they are of the same breed).

Regards,

They have had a very rocky relationship and Jon has questioned her mental stability.

Yep. Hollywood is a cesspool. Even if you're a good parent, you shouldn't expose your children to it.
