@@ucanliv4ever Fun fact: I actually personally have had nothing but negative experiences with Psychologists and Psychiatrists, though they all were pediatric (for childhood and teen years). And the latter is infamous among therapists for causing a lot of trauma for most who go through it. And there is so many other forms of mental health care, including a ever growing list of different types and forms of therapy, which is different than traditional psychiatry. In fact, I'd say it's a whole different world really. Therapy is good, but you have to find and have the right form of therapy and right therapist for you. If you don't, you'll know, and you make sure to move to a different therapist and/or form until you find the right ones for you. There is a lot of corruption in the mental health field, hell... the entirety of the medical field, but you just need to find the right modalities and right people you click with and that actually give a damn and want to help, even to help heal and cure you, not to maximize profit.
@ucanliv4ever; yes, there are a few bad apples in every profession, including psychiatry, and what you say is true to some extent, but you should be careful not to stereotype them all as crooked. There are more good professionals than bad. I hope you have a good day.
While I understand the need for parents to discipline their children, that doesn't mean that parents should abuse them or allow other people in their congregations to abuse them. The Watchtower Society's Governing Body and elders have taken certain Bible verses about discipline out of context and misinterpreted them to mean what they do not really mean. Thank you for exposing this gross misinterpretation of Scripture by the Watchtower Society.
Thanks, Al! And that's the idea. Using my experience in it, through manipulation and abuse, and of course the other family members that are and were JWs.
Seeing myself do that in editing was funny to me, as I didn't even realize I was doing that when I did it, and I knew it looked really weird. lol. It does look weird. Absentminded gesturing, stimming and related attention deficit things likely all at once there. That said, it's just a tank top I got years ago that I intentionally stretched out around the chest and neck, because I can't stand the feeling of clothes that conform, make much contact with my body, and touch around my neck. Likely a Autism thing, as it's really overstimulating and uncomfortable for me to a point I cannot stand. I can tell I was consistently trying to go for the cop vest hold, but just had too much other movement and stimuli going on at once to hold it each time I did it. I actually naturally find myself entering into a lot of cliche cop poses while standing idly, which I find interesting given there's no discernible reason behind it. Just the most comfortable positions for me.
@@TheCriminalViolin i totally get it. I was only wondering cause some with OCD fidget or fix themselves. Might be nervous tics. Were u ever traumatized by police interrogations? Dude, kudos to you just to put yourself out there to the public.
@@freedommakers101 Not police, but multiple different types of authority figures, yes. Big time. I've always been hyper-independent as a person, so naturally I've always clashed really hard with authority, and then experiencing a lot of traumatic experiences definitely did NOT help that dynamic at all. I'm working at it among many other things in therapy, but being naturally hyper-independent I believe means I won't change too much there haha. And it is infinitely easier to put yourself out publicly if its online. In the "real world" though? I still have a LOT of anxiety, which of course is also something I'm always working on. But from the comfort of your own safe spaces has always been easy for me. Being expressive is another natural part of me, so content creation wound up being something of a outlet for me. I appreciate the compliment on that front though. And my dad was VERY OCD, and I have a low tolerance for OCD, too haha. So it isn't OCD, but I can understand where someone would think that might be it. I just naturally move and fidget a lot, and I think when speaking it goes a bit overboard because of gesturing absentmindedly to add emphasis and help me process my thoughts and information as I speak.
@@TheCriminalViolin i get it. Pushed around alot. Me too! Just so you know, you don't have to explain or put on the brave face on for me. I am extremely OCD having it rub off on me by others projecting their own insecurities. I was pushed around alot too as a kid and adult and dragged through the mud even through the religion. I'm very sorry if i made you feel uncomfortable by my observation. Probably didnt make it any easier to feel like your being cross-examined all over again. You weren't doing anything wrong, crazy, or absurd. Just wondering if you were a bit nervous. I always get nervous talking about things traumatic for me. We all have different ways of coping.
@@freedommakers101 You're good, you didn't make me uncomfortable at all, or make me feel interrogated/defensive. I am the "oversharing" blunt honesty type of personality haha, so that's all that was going on. I appreciate the concern though! And the latter is certainly true! I've found it fascinating how differently each of my family members have came out of trauma via the religion and more specifically my dad recently. We've all came out very different from each other in terms of our reactivity and responses, even though we each experienced the same abuses.

Psychiatry is a racket and a snare

It’s GRANDIOSE that’s the way PSYCHOs behave 😢
Interesting series you got going here being part it yourself

👍
The gospel of Thomas does imply the idea of manipulation of energy and transcending the physical
You discredit yourself being so stridently ignorant. Unsubbed.
May I asked in what you believe I carry such ignorance? I can't correct anything if I do not know what is supposedly incorrect.
Sorry for not being more tactful. It's easy to hear someone wrong over social media.
