  Unconditional, the anger you perceive is based on a realistic view of this sort of pseudo spiritual gibberish getting in the way of real help and relief for victims. There was not one practical suggestion in that video. The whole thing was defining terms and non specific ones at that. Promoting such crap encourages self therapy which, in this case, is another form of abuse as far as I am concerned. He gives nothing practical and says nothing useful. A therapist can listen and adjust their counsel to fit the patient's need. If you were to actually deal with this situation, and I cannot say if you have, you would understand the damage that cannot be healed by pop/spiritual psychology.

  Listen to this sage, clear as mud:

  Hmm, what's the chakra for damage to a child's orifice that has been ripped by a pervert? This sort of BS is a pain. Its so oversimplified that it means nothing. Get professional help if you have been raped, molested or abused and not from Swami Dipshit. Seek a psychologist.

  How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back

  look my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.

  I can't completely agree. I went back to college at 43 and graduated at 47. No, I cannot be 29 - 40 again, but I could be a free 40 - dead person. I am loving it, I am not trying to relive my youth but its great each day I get to remain living carbon. Did try some MJ and a little sex, don't crave it these senior days and that's fine. Fortunately I was inactive from 16 to 29 and sowed my wild oats. Its been a long strange trip.

  US Supreme Court strikes down NC sex offender social media ban

  us supreme court strikes down nc sex offender social media ban.

  raleigh .

  the u.s. supreme court has overturned a north carolina law prohibiting registered sex offenders from using facebook or other social networking sites that minors can join.. the challenge was brought by lester gerard parkingham jr., a registered sex offender in north carolina, who faced additional charges after durham police found a facebook page he created under an assumed name.. the case raised questions about whether such laws prohibit sex offenders from participating in web-based forums, which have become virtual town squares, as they re-enter society.. “this case is one of the first this court has taken to address the relationship between the first amendment and the modern internet,” justice anthony kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.

  Facebook has a policy that sex offenders are not allowed to use their services. It is a private concern and therefore not compelled by law to include sex offenders. The whole thing is pretty stupid. They are restricted by the site owner and are removed if found out. As far as the other restrictions imposed by the state, that's another matter. To say its illegal to restrict them from Facebook is a moot point.

  White clean shaven man runs over muslims

  by silentbuddha in

  2. current

  so in england they report a "white clean-shaven man" mowed down worshippers at a mosque.

  why do they never make such detailed descriptions when muslims do the same?.

  i hope this event isn't a bad turning point.

  Well, seldom do you hear of any Muslim's mowing down worshipers at a mosque because they don't usually mow down their own.

  The denial of 1975 when and how did they go about it.

  by Crazyguy in

  i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.

  does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.

  i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.

  The BS about how long Adam lived alone without Eve was the fail safe for the true believers. We heard that for a long time after October 75. I remember one old timer saying in 1986 that it "had been fifteen years that Adam was alone, no wonder Jehovah created a helper for him". My god these people are like abused wives, will hang onto any straw rather than give up their abusive mate. Makes no sense.

  let's here some stories of good samaritan conduct , i asked an elder so called friend once could my son sleep on garage floor for a couple of days due to work , the answer was no due to son not believing..

  Chook, I assume it was the elder's garage. I hate to say it but I would have been leery of even another believer sleeping in my garage if I didn't know him. A stranger is a stranger. But, if it were a group of fellow witnesses on a KH build or something, then that would have had some structure and recourse if something negative happened. Its not always as simple as it sounds.

  One brother I know of saw a truck stuck on the side of the road. It was a man and his family heading to Arkansas. (We are in California). The man needed money to get his family there so he gave the brother the pink slip to the truck as collateral and the brother used his credit card to buy bus tickets for the family. (around $500.00) Not only did the brother NOT hear from them again, the engine was blown on the truck and he was stuck with it. Doing nice things for others? Not always wise.

  Disassociated or disfellowshiped you're outta there. In fact, disassociation can bring greater scrutiny because it is often viewed as apostasy.
