a relative told me that her therapist loves JWs because they keep him in business.

BOB LANGSTON
I grew up with a Langston family in my congergation don't know where they moved to but they moved away in the 70's. That was in California. Ihave no idea if there is a relation. The youngest daughter would be in her late 40's now.
I often wonder though since there are only about a million JWs in the US when ever a name pops up that is not a REAL common name, like smith and jones, if they are related.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HAVING TO SIGN A DOCUMENT CLAIMING THAT IF YOU DISCUSSED ANY "SERIOUS WRONGDOING" DURING YOUR SESSIONS WITH HIM, THAT HE WOULD GIVE YOU 2 WEEKS OR A MONTH OR SOMETHING TO GO REPORT IT TO THE ELDERS OR HE WOULD HAVE TO.
SO MUCH FOR HIS "BIBLE BASED CONSCIENCE". IF YOU WERE IN ANY WAY VULNERABLE WHEN YOU WENT TO HIM FOR "HELP" (AND WHO ISN'T, WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE TRYING TO SEEK WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS SAFE PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING FROM AN " UNWORLDLY" THERAPIST), YOU WERE SURE TO WALK OUT OF HIS OFFICE MORE F@#CKED UP THAN EVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH YA, AND ONE MORE THING: HE DIDN'T TAKE MY INSURANCE WHEN I WENT TO HIM OR ANYONE ELSE'S THAT I KNEW OF BECAUSE THAT WAY HE COULD GIVE THE "FRIENDS" A BREAK ON THE COST OF THEIR SESSIONS. HE USED TO CHARGE $50 PER SESSION WHEN I WENT TO HIM. AND NO INSURANCE COVERAGE AT ALL! THAT SURE ADDS UP WHEN YOU COULD PAY A COPAY IF HE ONLY TOOK IT. AND IMAGINE TRAVELING FOR 3 1/2 HOURS EVERY WEEK FOR YOUR SESSIONS!!! ALL THAT TIME AND GAS$ TO DRIVE AND SEE THE ALMIGHT BOB "HELP" YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not have to sign a document, but he did informed me before we began.
Now he did bill people in the local area though the mental health clinic who had local insurance. If you drove 3 1/2 hours you did not qualified. I have to disagree with you on that point because though it he could bill medicaid. I know many of the friends who saw him on a local basis did.
The only other reason he took a discount in cash is not to report it.
I can see you are very bitter with your experice with him.
I am just wondering what made you very bitter?
Would you like to talk about your experience praivatly though email? I think you need not only to talk, but to someone who understand what you have been though. Maybe I can just listen to you even though I may not help ease you pain very much.
I have to admit it did not take long for me to leave. I was not raised a JW and worked at the time for the MA State Hopsital system.
Just remember there are regualr therapist who are just as bad or even worse than Bob. If Bob was not a JW he would just be another screwed up therapist. Because he was a JW you expected more from him. Most people who go into the profession are very screwed up because the money is not great.
