its friday, and you know what that means?.
its time for the weekly tradition of sharing what your name means and why you chose it.. there has to be a reason, and it must reveal to us something special about you.. sure this post has probably been run by the forum before, but many of us are new here, and 'by golly, we need to get to know you all better.'.

the watchtower society has released a new 32 minute long dvd called "the wonders of creation reveal god's glory".
it has excellent cg graphics, high quality photography, competent editing and a pleasing appearance........ and, to me, it is a breathtakingly inferior product.

How do I go about finding someone experienced with dissociation, depression and cults?
Years ago I tried going to therapy (tried several people) but every session turned into my teaching the therapist and me not getting anything out of it. I just quit, went home and barely got through it on my own. I spent most of my time asleep.

My thoughts are with you.
