Then why are you in here chatting with us? If you don’t want to chat feel free to wander off and do something else.

And of course we’re all going to accept your false assumptions about what therapy is. :rolleyes:

Do you really think we’re as stupid as you look?

After all that has happened here already where I am concerned, I don’t expect y’all to accept anything that I have to say, but oh well. That is just something that everyone has to consider when saying anything anywhere and I think that I have shown that I am willing to deal with whatever is thrown at me over what it is that I have to say. 🙂 🙂 🙂  
God bless you always!!!

The only thing worse than an ignorant person is an ignorant person who refuses to recognize their ignorance. If you think what bothers people here is your “different” ideas, well, you’re sort of on the right track.

When you show some signs of progress sweetie, I’ll be the first one to cut you some slack. But until then . . .

And when you find yourself at the bottom of a deep hole of stupidity, it’s best not to grab a shovel and start digging. 😛

edit: I just made that up.

Oh dear. So you mean hell isn’t real after all? You’re such a hypocrite. 😃

I’m sure you do, just as I’m sure you believe knowledge and understanding are the fastest way to get there. 😛

In other words you don’t deny what I said. That’s ok. If you want to be proud of your ignorance, you have lots of company. It seems to be a requirement for being a fundamentalist Christian. Just don’t try to hide the fact. Be like the gays. Be loud and proud. I mean you’ve already got the ‘loud’ part down after all. 😃

Holly, if you look at it a certain way, wasn’t Jesus himself a suicide? And if you can resist, I’d appreciate it, if you respond, if you’d not “God Bless me always”. If you don’t mind.

I don’t know why I keep opening this thread. She’s not even an interesting troll. She’s utterly predictable and boring. And I lose a handful of brain cells every time I check back in.

As others have pointed out, that’s really not how therapy works.

I say this was a digression but frankly the train of this thread jumped the tracks, plowed through the cornfield and headed off over the horizon several pages ago. So I’ll leave it at that.
