Isn't dot precious at how she doesn't get all uptight and judgemental and uses your weaknesses against you? Isn't she loving, kind, considerate, putting herself in someones elses shoes before she grabs the butcher knife and starts hacking.

I was only asking questions, I still stand by my post, I just didn't feel searchin all through here for the thousands of posts to answer my question. I figure they are big girls, I will just ask.

You are truly paranoid Dot.

Don't beat yourself up too badly, Lucy.

I, myself, didn't know much about the sordid details until I stumbled in here about two years ago.

Believe it or not, I found this place while searching for a replacement for my PFAL book which had gone "missing in action".

I was still lending out my collaterals and "witnessing" to people.( though I rarely sent anyone to a twig again after my rather unpleasant experiences in Fellow Laborers.)

sheesh....get a grip

I know these people, including Dot.

Quit labeling them bipolar, you don't know what you are speaking of.

Even the experts miss diagnose.

Here these folks are helping you.

Though it may sound harsh, it isn't.

They are just trying to break through to YOU.

Not only to face what occured but to get healed.

You'll never forget, but you will beat twi/vpw.

If you want to.

Exactly Jeff you spoke your opinion I'm fine with that. On the other hand had you said Dr. Wierwille was a scumbag that would be a statement of fact and I would expect you to offer some proof for your claim or admission that it was simply a misstated opinion.

I said:

QUOTE(doojable @ Jul 12 2008, 12:42 PM)

Another logical glitch. You're taking a statement of opinion and then trying to say it's a statement of guilt, then you're working on that statement of guilt being wrong and treating real life like it's on long legal battle. (That I believe is a strawman argument - somebody correct me if I"m wrong.)

Let's take Tricky vic out of the example.

Let's say I'm talkng to A (fictional person) and I say, "B is a real scumbag. He tried to kiss me when my boyfriend wasn't looking. I turned my face and just walked out. I'll never be in the same room with him again."

Now - that's my first hand "testimony" if you will. There is no physical evidence, because I didn't say that I slapped his face or tried to knee him in the.... If you go and ask B about the incident, there's no guarantee that he will be honest.

In my statement, B is a real scumbag..." I stated my opinion of B based on my experience with him. He wasn't accused of a crime. What kind of proof would you want? A is free to accept what I say or not - but to say that I'd have to get a court finding to state my opinion is absolutely not right - I can't even see how it would work in the real world.

Then WD said:

QUOTE(WhiteDove @ Jul 12 2008, 01:35 PM)

Accusation of a serious crime is different than a insult like scumbag

You got a little mixed up there. Lost your place in your thought processes, didn't you? It seems you can't even get YOU to agree with YOU. I think that's what happens when you keep running in the same rut over and over without ever considering any other POV or any other solution.

Not at all Jeffs statement was an opinion he did not state it as a fact he qualified it with I think not he was he stated his opinion ,Fine with me he did not try to pass his opinion off as a fact.

Your example involved calling some one a name as well it offered no clue that it was an opinion in fact it reads as a statement of fact B is a real scumbag.

My reply Accusation of a serious crime is different than a insult like scumbag. You offered your example to somehow justify your argument of several pages prior that people were expressing their opinions. People misspeak all the time when that happens most of the time we tend to overlook that. No harm no foul so to speak so they called me a name So What? accusation of of crime however is a different level as I indicated. Another Words calling someone a dweeb, and calling someone a molester ,a rapist, a murderer would not produce the same response there for the example is lacking in comparison.

find it suspect at best that all the accusations of VP and others only come out after they are dead. I think that is what most opposers have a problem with, if it happened, and I can't say it didn't, I wasn't there, why in the hell did you not speak up???????????? To me, it makes you just as responsible as the molester. You allowed it.

Yet you said if I read you as being curt it was something I was reading into it -

Sure. You are really being sweet... For some other planet where Jeffrey Dahmer's eating habits are acceptable -maybe.

You wrote idios that is what I asked about as you used my huh? against me. You must mean adios which means "good bye" as idios is not a word. Unless, of course, you were calling yourself and idiot because the spelling of adios escaped you.

I know there are plenty of bi-polars - so what? It still does not excuse YOU from blaming Ex and I for the continued abuse - and that eventually affected you - as if it is our fault BTW the list of great people without bi-polar is very long as well. Your list still does not excuse what you accused me and Ex of, it is another diversion - to say "look over here" so you can appear right.

You forgot Adolf Hitler was bi-polar - BTW

You are grasping at straws, still trying to be right.

Interesting that you ASSume me to be paranoid - when again that would be a triat with which you struggle. Do not transpose your illness, and bad behavior on others just to win an arguement.

I suspect you will just become more and more angry. Feel free Lucy, you are fighting with yourself. Defending a position that was uncalled for and then tried to morph it into - well feel sorry for me cause I was abused...

Half the people VP abused were already abused. Scream all you want. You made Ex and I into being responsible for VP actions. Your screaming and twisting is just a dance designed so you never have to admit you were wrong.

Dance away Lucy.

I do not care.

edited to move a paragraph up.

Lucy,

Dot, ExCathedra, and whoever else was in the room the night VPW talked about his daughters are not responsible for whatever you went through in TWI. Your anger is misdirected. You are blowing up all over the board.

Do yourself a favor, take a walk, find something light and fun to do. Or go to a gym and hit a punching bag, go for a run, whatever helps you vent your steam.

You have a right to be angry, but you are blaming the wrong people.

There is a screaming child inside you which still needs to be heard - she is misdirected and trying to scream at Ex and me because perhaps your mother did not help you...

Go ahead... let it out...

We are not responsible for your childhood pain. Go ahead yell at your mother... Yell at God if you want. You need to get the pain out in order to heal. But I will not let you blame me. Blame the people who did nothing in your situation.

The truth will set you free.

I ain't beating myself up at all, I didn't do anything wrong. I am a direct person, I don't put dresses on dogs, I say it like I think it, It's the way I am. I just had questions.

Believe it or not, I found this place when after 16 years I was looking to find a teacher of God's Word. I googled Dr. Wierwille out of pure boredom, and this popped up. Frankly, it made me sick so i clicked on the links and found Michael Cortright's family page, started clicking away and got inspired by one name and emailed him. And four years later, I am a whole woman. I asked this guy a million questions, praise God he is from New York and don't get all goopy when you ask a direct question, I asked him about the Way, VP, and PFAL, and he just taught God's Word, never belittled anyone, never insulted anyonw, respected what was, moves on with what is and the guy is a rock on God's Word. He calls me faithful and a Berean. Two things I never associated with myself. I was too busy in Waydom condemnation. Can I get a Witness? I think I got a good handle of God's Word now.

All my collaterals got given away, same as you. i don't need them. All I need is my Bible, and a heart with no preconceived ideas that hungers for truth. That got me far.

I got to go feed my honey bunny.....

Lucy,

I am not angry. Want to call my house and talk to me. Trust me, I am not ....ed.

I blew up at Dot after she attacked me. I didn't hit first, I hit her back. Fights' over. I am not mad.

Lucy, print this thread out and give it to your doctor on your next visit. You may need to have the level of your meds or therapy increased.

I am through. You need more help than we can provide here.

Do you make this stuff up or do you have a writer on the payroll?

Lucy is Janice Lang remember her? She just pm'd me and threatened me

I saved a copy of it sweetie, do you want to call your lawyer? I told you to shut up. Because you just like to dig until you tick somebody off.

I'm still prettier than you.

Janis,

I had hoped you were truly doing better. Obviously you are not well. The people here at Greasespot are not equipped to help you. Not a one of us is a professional. Please, before you hurt someone else, or hurt yourself, log off. Do whatever it is you need to do to help yourself.

No, but I'm flattered you think so. It was a serious observation, Hon.

I'm still prettier than you.

Seriously doubt it. Definitely not when looking on the inside.

You don't even have the guts to state you real name and you think I have problems. Honestly...........

How silly is that?

I gave a copy of that PM to an administrator so that it's on the record.

Now back to the topic at hand....

I think everyone has the right to speak their mind, if they have one.

I am perfectly healthy. But thanks everybody for all your concern, take a look in the mirror every so often and don't be so quick to judge next time and give people a little credit. Look, let's face facts, there is no delicate way to say you were abused? Why is it, that it's ok for people to say Dr. so and so raped me, or Craig did this to me, but it's a problem when I share what happened to me. Let's face another thing, it happened over 30 years ago, I got past it, why can't any of you? How much worse can it be? Rape is rape. I am past it.

You think you are so clever and above it all and aren't you smart for cutting people down? that aint' right............

Some of the people listed here are celebrities who have talked openly about having bipolar disorder; others have been judged by history to have suffered from manic depression. At least one is being called bipolar because of what may be a misinterpretation.

More then one I'm very sure.

She never labled these people including Dot as bi-Polar she presented a list of people she felt for whatever reason were Bi-polar, I don't know if that list is right or wrong but I do know that Dot was not on the list she presented as you implied.

Gosh Lucy, you are swinging at everyone. You threw the first punch by blaming ex and Dot for not speaking up in twi.

I think you ought to get to know these folks and what they actually did, and what were the consequences of their efforts before being so harsh in your criticism.

It just isn`t fair.
