As for getting them committed, I know that in many states you can involuntarily commit ANYONE for three days. At least here in pa you can - it's called 302'ng somebody. All you have to do is call the cops and fill out a report and swear that they are a danger to themselves or others, and blink, they're carted away no matter what they say or do.
Kind of Orwellian, but it works for those who tend to go off their meds a lot.
. One of the main criteria for psychosis is a "feeling of persecution"!
I bet we could put alot of these peeps in a padded cell!
My brother was saying almost the same thing about our Mom. You know if we did that, we would be workers of satan, persecuting her for her beliefs. Which in turn might make it even more real for her. Which leads to more medication, which means it is more "persecution" so they need to give her more meds, on and on...........
Sorry, it just struck me too funny not to post that.
Funny how the dubs believe that ONLY jehovah can read our minds and hearts.......yet in the same breath say we are Satans tools. Unless Satan verbally speaks to us.....there would be no other way for him to communicate his WILL to us.
Awhile back, my mom asked me to send her some of my books on self-empowerment. Since I am into all the esoteric spiritual stuff, alot of it was definitely NOT acceptable for Dubs. But, I made her clearly aware of what I was sending her before hand. Well, she got the package and I heard from my "worldly" aunt that she called her and told her I was demonized! LOL! I was angry, but, then, I just had to consider the source....................we didn't talk for over a week and a half, then, I called my sister, also a true blue dub and basically asked her what was going on, and if mom had called her about the books, etc. and she said she had, and had told mom that she had to make her own mind up, that it was between her and God. Now, mind you, this woman used to watch X-Files, which you know was kind of borderline going over into forbidden territory, and thought nothing of going to R-rated movies. Just shows the hypocrisy of the people in the religion.
