  Big Tex said it all. I couldn't watch the show, had to work... probably a good thing, though, cause I always end up feeling just like you described.

  sf.... what an amazing 'tutorial' you've put together here. You rock.
  
  It's stunning, seeing this polemic phlegm in all its gloriousness in one massive congealed essay...
  
  hug, laura (wow I had to look up how to spell 'phlegm')

  guns n roses - for sexist and viloent lyrics.

  Does anyone remember the terrifying stories about "Earth Wind and Fire"????
  
  ---> jw urban legend: Earth Wind & Fire would ask any jehovah's witnesses in the audience during live performances to LEAVE THE ARENA. The stage show contained DEMONIC - POWERED stunts!!! If any jw's were there, the magic stuff wouldn't happen.
  
  Great 80's funk band...
  
  Also, a friend of mine had to toss all of his Pink Floyd before they would appoint him as an elder.... (wish I'd been around on trash day for THAT....)

  Sheila,
  
  I'm confused... who is disagreeing with you?
  
  Knowlege is power. I hope that most people arrive at this conclusion before they are into their third or fourth decade of life. Reading is fundamental.
  
  Parents must be the ones who choose which course to take regarding their child's health. I think it is safe to say that one is wise to take in as much knowledge as possible from as many sources as possible before making a RESPONSIBLE decision about whether or not to medicate their child.
  
  I think the point is well made: turning that choice over to someone else is ...
  
  
  We still have a choice in such matters, as parents, fortunately... it is a difficult road to take, however; insurance companies have their agenda; doctors have their opinions; others who specialize in human suffering put out many an influencing argument. Here's a news flash * there exists propaganda*
  
  Please make room for discussion and please, know that this discussion is not, at this point, (at least for me) not about YOU.

  i went to see my jw object of affection yesterday after a two month absence and it didn't go well.

  the woman i love has become fearful of me and reluctant to speak to me.

  the look in her eyes told the whole story.

  Mackey... you wrote:
  
  "I will do anything within In my power to remove the fear and guilt that have such a stranglehold on her. I have seen the happiness In her when I was able to remove that burden temporarily, when she was able to be "normal". My only focus now Is to remove It permanently. If I can accomplish that, the rest will follow"
  
  I believe that the power of the love you obviously have for her is enough. Please be careful, though, of attributing to yourself what she, herself, has done, and needs to do on her own.... your love for her will enable HER to find HER way "out."
  
  You can only support her in this. It is HER choice whether or not to lose burdens, feel normal, and learn how to lose the guilt and fear. HER choice.
  
  If you force her to make these choices - in order to hold on to your love - you won't be helping her...
  
  I am sorry to be so blunt, when you are so obviously hurting and raw. You have my compassion and complete understanding.... and wish you well in this situation where passion can cause feelings to run wild..
  
  With respect and care, lauralisa
