one of the great things that this board offers is the ability to express yourself.
sometimes, things we couldn't tell a person to their face, we can express here.
or we might be able to give of ourselves, our experiences, our joys and frustrations......you name it!.......regarding my vent, it is that i can't understand why some post on these boards and yet are very pro witness.
Actually, I want to type out a swear word on this board every now and then, and it pisses me off that I can't!
However, it's for the good of everyone, I guess......
Hey, WTF???
name the things you don't miss about going to a dc!
---getting there so early and then find that the "servants" have saved all the good seats
---not having time to make a decent lunch and getting admonished about not buying from nearby vendors.
Spunkychic,
You should have... we did! Didn't really bother me too much, either!
to all who have been following my lawsuit against the society here in canada, the judge is to make her decision this week.
it has been a long 8 months since the trial, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that she makes the right decision when it comes to protecting the children (and myself) from the wrongs of the society.
we have not heard yet if she needs more time, so friday is the end of her extension.
Still waiting... still hoping....

Not really.....
the national alliance for the mentally ill website defines mental illness as: mental illnesses are disorders of the brain that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, moods, and ability to relate to others.
they further define schizophrenia as:schizophrenia is a brain disorder that interferes with a persons ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others.
many people with schizophrenia have hallucinations and delusions, meaning they hear and see things that arent there and believe things that are not real or true.. doesn't this sound like some of the "faith"ful?
Mental illness is USUALLY caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Take silly ol' me, for instance. I suffer from, believe it or not, depression. For the last 7 or so years, I have been on AD's, and am ok now - for now. However, it took me YEARS to start taking it regularly. It's because of the way that people look at you when you take AD's (Anti-depressants). There are horrible signs attached to anyone who needs them, and it makes you feel bad when you rely on them.
The reason why most people who suffer from schitzophrenia (sp?) is they get admitted to the hospital, get their meds all sorted out, hate the side effects, then, when feeling better, stop using them. Then they CRASH. Then, they go back to the hospital to get their balance sorted out again.... it's a horrible disease - ever see A Beautiful Mind? I think that anyone who wants to see what its like should see that. That is only one case of schitzophrenia - some think it's perfectly normal to walk outside naked! It's horrible to think about...
Not that I have schitzophrenia, or anything... he he...
does anybody already know what the releases at this years dc are?
That link...
Bleah!
well, guys, here it is.
it's going in the mail tomorrow.
it's for me but, dad, it's also for you.
I am sorry too about your loss. It would be interesting to see if they do actually reply. Probably not.
If only your pain could go away.... they have hurt so many.
Thank goodness for this board, and all the wonderful people here that support those in need!

I am joining the cast here, hoping for a good decision! Man, I hope that you win!
i guess that the reason why i'm posting this is that i'm feeling cheated - and stupid.
stupid for not questioning the lies... cheated for the time that i wasted.... .
just reading the book, "crisis of conscience", and i am appalled.
Dansk,
Thank you so much for you reply. I'm too wound up now to make up a big speech to you, but thank you. Your words really helped me. It's just too much reality at once... I thought that I left the religion b/c I was weak, and would probably die.
Thanks again, Dansk.
