Brash at time, I’ll own.
Reckless . . . Nope.
YET, In many cases, even reckless would be better than the very starchy kosher yet utterly destructive treatment many hurting people get from the mental health profession.
If you’ve never read any of Thomas Zsaz, he could be quite eye-opening. I bristled at him, at first. I had to eventually realize, he was spot-on accurate in a list of ways.
Few professions like the truth about themselves.
I wouldn’t be surprised if eternity will show that Bob Larson’s groups will have delivered many thousands more individuals from emotional, psychological and spiritual bondage and into a fuller life in Christ than all the shrinks of all types put together.
And essentially, for free. vs very high prices on the other side.
“YET, In many cases, even reckless would be better than the very starchy kosher yet utterly destructive treatment many hurting people get from the mental health profession.”
Stop deflecting.
Your statement is the issue, not Dr. Zsaz nor your wholesale attack on clinicians. I have no idea what “starchy kosher” treatment is other than another of your obfuscations, or an attack on the medical treatment of the mentally ill.
“““Experienced pastors, deacons, elders and even laymen and women did quite well at discerning the difference between demon possession/oppression and mental illness”
Reckless. I wouldn’t expect a layman to distinguish between
hebephrenic schizophrenia and possession or any of the many biologically induced mental disorders.
~And neither should YOU. ~And certainly, neither should a gaggle of teenage girls who resemble nothing more than a modern day Salem witch hunt.
I’m done with this thread.
