  the moment i mentioned jehovah's witnesses he headed over to his file cabinet and handed me this print out.. .

  dear beloved one, .

  i see your loneliness and fears.

  IMO for what it's worth, the danger is "preaching to the converted" as far as jws. You are clearly not happy with your experience( extremely understandable), he is confirming that by his response, so what is the point of continued sessions? I see counselling as challenging strongly held beliefs. Then, once clearly mapped out, it's up to the client to make decisions about the future and even about long held beliefs about past experiences. The goal is greater understanding of self and hopefully personal growth.

  You say he went "on and on" another red flag as a therapist. It is your session. You are paying for it and you are there to get clarity around your past experience, not listen to (a poorly presented) religious judgement.

  Seriously, where is this heading? Did he give you an outline for future sessions?

  Yeah do agree that these "good guys" would call us all here the devil's spawn and shun us but I was seeing him in relation to those madmen who were CO's DO's. Some were clearly certifiable

  he needs you to do his work for him.

  he needs your complete and whole souled devotion.

  he needs to be in the first place in peoples lives, ahead of their families and their own needs.

  Interesting observation. Extending it, if humans heal themselves of this mental illness (codependence) does god exist anymore?

  Thanks for the reply Hopscotch but no that name doesn't ring any bells but what you said about his background is exactly like this guy I'm trying to think of. Business/corporate

  Anyone remember the CO/DO who looked like Bob Hawke? One of the most relaxed and friendly jw chiefs. I recall that his father was intentionally run over and killed while going d to d.

  i wish some enlightened billionaire would fund more studies of these "ageless animals".

  evolution could tell us how to stop aging almost completely.

  i was raised on lipton tea.

  my mother saw tea as the solution for everything.

  no matter what the problem, she'd suggest a cup of tea.

  I did Yum Cha with a very wealthy Chinese jw (in HK) who very kindly explained tea in Chinese culture. He said there were approx 300 different teas, all with medicinal properties. As we ate we were continuously given Jasmine tea. Actually you have to tap the top of your teapot when it is empty, as it is too noisey to get the attention of the wait staff! He told me the reason for this particular tea. It aids in digestion but most importantly, assists in getting rid of fats, so if a dish was a little greasy, I drank the tea. Yes it worked very well and very quickly.

  Religion vs. Spirituality

  religion is for people who are scared to go to hell.

  spirituality is for people who have already been there.

  Nice to see S(atanus) about again...

  For a few Rupees I got to hear a raga played by four gurus of their particular instrument (including a classical male dancer). Sitting in the evening heat of a Dharamsala summer, actually on a flat roof of someone's home, with a few mats, cushions and candles to set the scene, I (and about 6 others) was priviliged to see and hear some of the greatest musicians in India. They were all from Varanasi (Benares) which is the centre of classical music in India. No drugs required, I lost a few hours in a meditative state and yes I got a glimpse of the oneness of humans, in fact all material things. Spiritual? I don't know. Many scientists I imagine would feel the same awe and respect for the Universe.

  My current saying to all people's opinions and beliefs is...

  It's possible

  I spent time in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka, both renowned for tea(s). I drink Dilmah brand which is a single origin from southern SL. I caught a train past their area and made sure I got in the rear carriage which was mostly plexyglass to see the plantation. Yes they pick their tea by hand same as they have ever done since the British brought tea to their shores. Should have taken photos...
