Her example of unconditional love . . .
She still thinks the sun shines out of the asses of my two older sisters, who are wealthy, elitist, nasty, manipulative bitches who hate my guts. Her continually showing them favor in return for their 'benevolence' must take extraordinary strength of character.

Hi! I'm New Here
by alecholmesthedetective inhi there, as was suggested to me, i'm starting this thread to say hi to everyone.. my awakening began recently, after the new light on the 'slave'.
i felt it didn't add up and went to check and found out ttatt.
for a while i tried to find evidence of whether the wt might still be god's organization, i needn't say i couldn't.. i had already resigned as a ministerial servant and a pioneer, had already had several issues with the elders and did not put up with their nonsense for a long.

Some advice please?
by Wonka ina friend of mine i'm in lust with, has been trying to convert / recruit me.
she's been very pleasant with me and very patient with me.
she hasn't been very pushy which i appreciate.. she's even said that if at anytime i'm getting smothered or feel this religion isn't my thing, to say so and she will stop asking about it.

wear some tight pants and ask her many questions, her mind will eventually wander off . . . . allcool
allcool really knows his stuff. Very experienced man.
Be honest and honour the invitation. Tell her it's not for you. If she bolts, say goodbye to a waste of time. If not, go dbnc's route and good luck.

Former priest alleges 'system of cover-ups' of abuse
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/15346288/former-priest-alleges-system-of-cover-ups-of-abuse/.
abcupdated november 10, 2012, 2:01 am.
a former new south wales priest claims to have witnessed a "system of cover-ups" within the catholic church to hide child sexual abuse.. kevin lee was ordained as a priest 20 years ago and worked as a police chaplain for some of that time, but was relieved of his parish responsibilities in western sydney this year when he admitted to marrying a woman in secret.. his comments follow those of that the catholic church is involved in cover-ups and paedophile priests have destroyed evidence to avoid prosecution.. mr lee told lateline on friday that abuse is widely covered up in the church and that he first became aware of it as soon as he was in the seminary.. "people used to tell me and people in the first parish i was in started to confess their frustration with the authorities and the church for not dealing with the abuse that happened to their sons," he said.. mr lee says during the course of his life as a priest, he became aware that some of those around him were paedophiles.. "i became aware that some of the other priests were actually paedophiles and were not necessarily becoming priests because they wanted to help people, but because they were paedophiles who wanted the opportunity," he said.. mr lee says a church protocol was in place for dealing with cases of child sexual abuse, but it was not actually used.. "i saw a system of cover-ups, a system of blind-eye turning and just ignorance of the fact that it was happening," he said.. he says he took his concerns to superiors within the church but was knocked back.. "in my earlier years as a priest, i was having these people coming to me in confession or just sharing in counselling sessions their experience of frustration and anger with the church that had ignored their pleas of justice when their children had been abused and i started writing the notes down," he said.. "i was speaking to a barrister at one point and i thought he was going to help my case by putting it forward in some legal process.. "he said 'document everything you have', and everything i had i took to authorities within the church and i was told i needed more evidence.".

Interesting development in LA . . .
The Los Angeles Catholic Diocese must release the names of priests and church officials contained in confidential records about sexual abuse of children, a California judge ordered Monday.
Superior Court Judge Emilie Elias reversed a previous ruling by another judge that allowed the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to black out the identities of church officials in 30,000 pages of documents that are to be released, the Los Angeles Times reports. The files include medical and psychiatric records, abuse reports, church memos and letters with the Vatican.

sizmike when you say anyone you mean wifey as well?
I found it's best to keep personal counselling and relationship counselling completely seperate. One can follow the other with the same counseler (I've seen it happen sucessfully), but you can't achieve both objectives simultaneously with the same counseler. Your objectives must be clear and not comprimised. One-on-one to your own benefit should come 1st IMO . . . then what's required next becomes clearer.

Sound move. Well done.
Advice? Never take anyone with you. Even though the therapist will allow it, in my experience, it never works in these situations.

There are several seperate issues to the mental health crisis.
One area that is coming under greater scrutiny is the use of several psychotropic medicines in children and adolescents. Traditional views have been that psychotropics like MPH and SSRI's perform a similar function in these younger groups as with adults, simply with using lower dose rates. There is very little monitoring and research, but more and more questions are being asked. There are unique neurological developmental phases occurring in children and adolescents, that are complete in the case of adults.
We also have a pharmaceutical industry that is a highly competitive, profit motivated industry, that uses subtle but aggressive marketing of it's product through mainstream traditional medicine.

Fact: At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs.)

Just keep in mind that an anxiety disorder is not just stress. It's a neuro-chemical imbalance brought on by a sustained period of stress. Excess adrenalin, seratonin depletion and so on, can cause anxiety problems with no apparent triggers, and even during times of relaxation. Breathing, all sorts of juices, going for a walk, watching a movie, keeping busy, etc. might help, but it won't necessarily fix it. Then it may turn to shit on you some more.
Ask your Dr for a psychiatric assessment, it's no big deal. If you have a problem, you need the right tools. If there's nothing to worry about, he'll tell you that too.
