..and if so, what form does such psychological damage take?.
my own experience is that damage does occur.. i was 8 years old when my parents became converted, so i wasn't exactly a totally white canvass on which my personality could be painted.
but i was a light shade of grey, so the impact of wt teaching was still quite considerable.. i think the most damage that i suffered was in the area of guilt and unworthiness.
I had similar hangups and confessed all to an elder. I felt worse after, because then I didn't feel like I could look him in the face anymore, or visit and hang out with his kids (his daughter was V sweet!!)

You have a griping way of expressing yourself
I do believe that was a freudian slip.... at least I hope you meant Gripping!! LOL
Bull!
i did not know where most of my schoolmates lived, but i knew they were out there... somewhere.
i dreaded the thought of a door opening to a face i knew from school.
it was like walking through a minefield for me... every door was like another step... would my next step be my last???
I knew where most of the kids in my class lived, and stumbled across quite a few others out on the ministry. I hated it, with a passion! I talked my boss into letting me work Saturday mornings for an extra £5.00 as soon as I started work... that only left Sundays to face!!
Possibly the worst one I ever called on was a kid that I'd fought with several times, and won each time!! It didn't go down well - and you guessed it, another fight ensued on Monday after school! I won again - he never learnt!! Strange thing is, we met up again at a school reunion, and it was like we were best mates!!

orlando, fla. -- a central florida woman was fired from her job after eating "unclean" meat and violating a reported company policy that pork and pork products are not permissible on company premises, according to local 6 news.
" holfeld asked.
"we do, we can," kweli said.
I hope she wins this - as 'multicultural' nations, we are expected to be accommodating in all areas of life, for all ethnic, cultural and religious differences. It's about time we were accommodated by the minorities too!!

my witness friends and i bought doom 3 yesterday to play at my house.
i let one of my friends play first and it scared him so he quit.
next day at the meeting, i tell them how intense the game is, and they are all like "you should burn the game you should throw away the game.

The only demons that came around to my house, when playing computer games, were ones like Bull01Lay, above
You're only saying that cos I was 'devilishly good' at them, and could wup your skinny ass everytime!!! LOL!
Doogie:
why don't we go and live naked in the woods, with our eyes closed and hands pressed over our ears
Obviously we can't do that..... we'd end up with splinters in places where splinters should never be splintered!!! Ouch!!
Bull!
i lost someone very special to me.
my cat.. she was 12 years old.
she was the friendliest, most loving, cat i had ever owned.
I had a huge persian called Mortimer that I had to have put down. He was only 3 years old, and one evening we heard a pitiful meow from the bushes. His back legs were paralysed, and he had lost control of his bodily functions. We had him extensively examined, and not a thing could be found wrong - i.e. no bruising, no breaks, no internal damage. I cried for ages, I held him as they put him to sleep!!!
We buried him in the front garden - found a lovely spot under a tree, and I dug what I thought was a substantial hole, but my wife wanted it to be deeper. The next strike with the shovel went through the water mains!!! Needless to say we found a new spot for him!!
Losing a pet IS losing a member of the family! I share your pain, and wish you well.
Bull!

Cheers LT - on my way! (I wish!!!!)

Latest news - apparently they have found the murder weapon now....

I think it's really got to be down to the individual, and their perception of / reaction to the games. Games are now rated according to their content, and as such parents and shop owners should be more responsible when allowing people access to these games.
Personally, I love video games, including the violent / horror games. It's an escape for me, but one I can switch off from when I come back into reality.
I think it's possible that if there are already underlying mental issues (discovered or not), they can be aggravated by these games. But whose responsibility is it overall ?
If they take them off the shelves, people will cry out "it's censorship". They have put warnings and age ratings on them, people are saying "It's not enough".
As regards demons, that's a stock WTBTS response to almost anything that they frown upon.
They say get rid of doom 3 - I'd say find some better band members!!

a guy walks into a bar with an octopus.
he sits the octopus down on a stool and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus.
he can play any musical instrument in the world.
A guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a stool and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus. He can play any musical instrument in the world. He hears everyone in the crowd laughing at him, calling him an idiot, etc. So he says that he will wager $50 to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus can't play. A guy walks up with a guitar and sets it beside the octopus. The octopus starts playing better than Jimi Hendrix, just rippin' it up. So the man pays his $50. Another guy walks up with a trumpet. The octopus plays the trumpet better than Dizzie Gillespie. So the man pays his $50.
Then a Scotsman walks up with bagpipes. He sits them down and the octopus fumbles with it for a minute and sits it down with a confused look. "Ha!" the Scot says. "Can't you play it?" The octopus looks up at him and says, "Play it? I'm going to fu*k it as soon as I figure out how to get its pyjamas off."

Something else that infuriates me about this type of 'event', is that people appear out of the woodwork, just to get their names in the paper, or get publicity for their businesses. For instance, her old boss made a statement in the paper, but wished to remain anonymous, then suddenly she's quite happy talking to reporters IN HER HAIR SALON, saying how close they were, and how she treated 'That Girl' like her own daughter. Bullsh*t!!!! Chanel quit her job before we went to the states, and was asking my girlfriend (now wife) advice on how to get her money out of that bitch, because she owed her several weeks pay (my wife works in debt recovery).
Anything for 5 minutes fame and free advertising!!!!
Bull! <going for a whisky now to cool off!)

What could possibly have been going through his mind when he did this ?? Now, his ex wife has been placed under police protection, along with his sister - just incase!!
Sad, sad sad......
Just to heap pain upon pain... the company that did the wedding video hadn't even released it to Chanel and Lee, so the first time he saw his Wedding video was on the evening news! It's believed they sold it to Sky and Central!! Bastards!
Bull!
