Born Again Christians and Mental Illness as Pertains to Daughter

[ace62able]

I am just about 50, and lived with BP2, PTSD, and OCD for years. Even the schools did nit know what was up with that. I have been in treatment at a university clinic. Still there, still trying. I have no family of my own. I have had religion screw with me when looking for help there. No MoJo there. I am on disability, and HATE IT! I have gotten fat thanks to the drugs, and that makes things worse. I have gone threw years of sexual abuse, and all religion (right wingers) but its Gods will. Sorry

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ace62able I am sorry you went through that. That is awful. I am glad you are getting help.

I take it you were on "Weight Gainer Meds" to cause the weight gain. The CDC announced Weight Gainers give us Drug Resistant Diabetes & we die, so don't use them anymore. How about that?

I'm unclear about how you ended your comment with "it's god's will. sorry." Did you mean that? Or was it sarcasm? It isn't clear to me. I'm confused.

@HidingFromEveryone Hello.

Its Gods will, sorry. What I meant by that was as I wrote it, I was referting that, this is how God made me, and thats all there is to it, like it or now. Here I am.

At the time of the weight gaining meds, we did not know they did that. We were told a lot of things that was BS. I gained the weight really fast. But I am not diabetic. Thats one good thing.

Yes, I can see that you went threw a lot as well. I am sorry for that. How do you feel now?

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ace62able Big Pharma only thinks about money and not about our welfare. Weight Gainer Meds put weight on you super fast. I gained 170 pounds on them. I lost most, but it was a shock. I'm no longer a Size 0.

I do not believe in god. BP runs thru my family for over 100 yrs. It is genetics & has nothing to do god. It is in our genes.

I feel better on T3, GABA, L-Methylfolate, Omega-3, Melatonin, tiny amount of Lithium, Magnesium & B Complex. My stomach can't absorb food.

Example of the fraud of the religion of Christianity( the cult from a Jewish sect) : the Preacher Eddie Long video! This video and action summarizes the inherit ABSURDITY within Christianity. The government of David( classical conservatism ) versus the government of the United States ( classical liberalism )! Any christian government is no better from the Taliban in Afghanistan! Anyone who wants a Christian government would be violating the Constitution of the United States of America!

[HidingFromEveryone]

@cris750 Because of my experiences I firmly believe in separation of church and state. I believe in a secular government. My father would nuke everyone if he was given the authority to do so. No one but people just like him would be left standing. We would all die. He believes in a scorched earth policy.

Yes, Christians are just as bad as the Taliban. Opposite sides of the same sick coin. Please see "Jesus Camp" documentary film for details. I went to that camp twice.

@cris750 Thank you for getting it. I was worried the Christian Mafia would flame me. Thank you for understanding. They are bullies acting under the guise of "good acts, love, Jesus, God and God's will." This is how wife beating, child molestation, child abuse, violence, terror, intimidation and inhumane acts are committed and sanctioned. They behave just like any mafia behaves only they hold a Bible and invoke God's name to make it OK. Think about that.

You are in a very difficult position. Families can be cruel. I just happened to click on your video. Even in the Born Again community there are families and preachers who don't believe in beating children. Keep on struggling to get help.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ZZBob777 My parents have never gone to a church that did not go against corporal punishment. They seek out churches that advocate corporal punishment and state mental illness comes from demon possession. Birds of a feather flock together. If their pastor preached against it they would leave that church for another one that said, "Beat your kids and mental illness is the devil & devil possession." Their pastor must agree with them or they do not stay in that church.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ZZBob777 Thank you for your encouragement. I appreciate it. Thank you for being kind and understanding. I appreciate it.

I wish the Christian community would pressure the child beaters, child molester, wife beaters and mental health abusers to stop their abuse. I think the other Christians should say, "Enough is enough. You don't act right. Stop it!" It is up to the Christian community to police their own & they don't do that. That is their shame they must bear.

[BreeinOC]

I don't see how anyone can call themselves a "Christian" and beat a child much less a mentally ill child at that. That is just evil. To think that mental illness comes from the devil in this day & age is totally backwards & unenlightened, but it what is taught in the churches. I heard it in my churches as a child. Science and medicine be damned. The church has their own ideas about things and how to solve problems. Salem Witch Trials anyone? I feel for you. I am sorry you experience this.

May I ask, how old are you? Have you contacted public health services? How about a school counselor? Or the parent of a friend? Or a sympathetic relative?

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 I am an adult now. I considered suing my parents when I reached 18, but since that would have brought a lot of negative PR in the LS Times, OC Register & TV News I did not do it. My sister also considered suing. My parents were very afraid.

As a minor I called the cops. They told me to runaway. They were afraid of my father as he was well known, wealthy, influential, connected to Hollywood, the music industry and politics. He could call an ex-Pres for help.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 As a minor no one would help me because my dad was too powerful. Cops, neighbors, teacher, friends, friends parents, everyone looked the other way. Now he is retired & things are different now. His power is gone. I have spoken to his family & they refuse to help. Any relatives who would help are dead. Living relatives don't want to get involved or don't care. They think he is weird, odd & mean & don't want to touch him.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 My dad is threatening to 5150 me simply because I refuse to speak to my parents. I told my doctor & he told me that is not a probable cause reason, but my dad will simply lie & make something up to 5150 me as punishment. He is on a power trip. He is about control. He wants to control me. That is what the threat of the 5150 is all about. It is about control. It doesn't have to be accurate. It just has to be controlling.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 Since I have a diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder. 1 voluntary hospitalization and 1 5150 hospitalization his made up side of the story will look good versus my real side of the story in front of the cops or a judge. He knows that and I know that. He can throw me in a hospital against my will at any moment if he chooses & I can't stop him. All I can do is sue him when I get out. I am 48 now. He has been terrorizing me for 48 years.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 He is only going to stop when he dies and not before. He never learns empathy, compassion, sympathy or things like that. He can't understand those emotions or reactions. He is judgmental. My parents believe mental illness is demon possession & therefore it is good to beat the person to beat the devil out of them. Starve the devil out of them. Whip the devil out of them. Do exorcisms. etc. It is very 1400s thinking.

@HidingFromEveryone

[HidingFromEveryone]

@planes3333 I'm sorry. What is wrong? How can I help?
