I'm going to reply to you with a short story. I hope they are allowed here. (A true story). I was fishing at a mountain lake once when I young man came up near me and started fishing. He was schizophrenic and under partial control from meds. He told me that he was doing much better since he went out to the dry lake, just a short distance from the lake we were at. Said he saw some sort of "healer" there who exorcised the demons from his body.
If he were to come on one of the PB forums and say that his schizophrenia had been helped/cured by exorcism, wouldn't it be helpful for someone like me to post something about the fact that schizophrenia is not due to demonic possession?
I hope I've made my point. Also, I don't understand how my posts could possibly upset your feeling of safety to disclose here, because you stated that you had probably already been to the sites I post. Also why would the info. be so distressing if you truely believe in your therapy?
Finally, you don't have to read my posts. Just skip them if you don't want to read them. I think that you are treading on a freedom of speech and right of public rebuttal issue here.
Thank you
