bipolar disorder without drugs .

I strongly disagree with this article, my husband is bipolar and over the years has been on several different meds, it takes time to find the right med that works for you, bipolar disorder does not affect everyone in exactly the same way, part of this is enviornmental and perhaps other variables come into play here, science does not yet fully understand how our brains are wired and what can be done to fix them, we have no cure for this disorder and the best we have now is meds and other forms of therapy that should be used in conjunction with meds.

The more you screw around with your mental health the worse it will get. I hope someday we have a scientific break through and a cure is found.

Jehovah's Witness Children are Kept Alienated from the rest of the world!

the watchtower continues to encourage jw parents to alienate their children from people who are not jws and therefore discourage a more balanced view of the world and the people in it!.

september 15th watchtower, 2007 says on page11:.

'of course, our children's attitudes can be influenced both for good and for bad.

Not to mention all the emmotional and physical abuse we endured. This is another way to keep kids isolated.

Potty training kids and different views...

by FreedomFrog in

when i was growing up, i remember my parents would put those plastic "cover" things over my sisters panties and put those protective sheets on the bed to help them with potty training.

especially when they were doing great with using the potty on their own during the daytime.. my aunt in texas would beat her kids arses if they wet the bed.

(now i do not agree with this way).

Most kids will have accidents no matter how potty trained they are doing the day. All I can tell you is to be patient and keep doing what has been working for you, I recomend that you have a talk with the "unhelpful" care takers and explain that they are confusing your child by letting her wear pull ups vs what you are teaching her at home. Pull ups are not meant to be used as a diaper in the traditional sense but rather a way for the kids to be able to pull them down easily when they need to go and use the toilet, since your daughter knows to go in the toilet without accidents during the day she should not be using pull ups at all.

Kids need to socialize in order to establish long lasting friendships and expand their interpersonal skills, these are important building blocks for success in the home and at work. Many of us had a hard time adjusting to real life when we leave the borg, so much control, no" real" friendships, a lack of acceptance of others views and beliefs, few social skills, littlle education, it's a recepie for disaster.. When I read threads from newbies I see the same MO, lonlely shunned people with no where and nobody to turn to for help, depressed and downtrodden. It pisses me off.

decrease in europe.. .

They will unfortunately flourish in third world countries, the internet has really put a crimp in their growth.

Many of the countries listed are poor and lack good funding for continued education. I feel that the society preys on the weak and vulnerable, like vultures.

JW kids are the most alienated, immature, socially stunted and miserable kids, no wonder they go crazy when they get out of the cult.
