I'm confused. Are you calling Dr Bob, Shaman Bob?
Why?

I'm not talking about surveillance, I'm talking about Newspeak and the Thought Police. I'm talking about the Therapeutic Culture in general. And I do think there are parallels here! I was thinking of redefining all pain and social injustice in terms of mental illness within the individual. Of a kind of spiritual revisionism where despair and longing are only chemistry. Where the outrage at social injustice is labeled mental illness, etc. etc.
I really really don't think Dr Bob is peeping at me through his little picture square!
What has AA got to do with anything? I don't even LIKE Bill W. It takes what it takes but that's just not what it takes for me ;o)
Dr Bob is not MY shaman. How can he be yours if you never even think about him? That's something to think about.
I didn't mean to offend you. I thought it was an interesting way to think of PB and I wondered what you meant.
Sorry if I upset you. I didn't mean to. I haven't read 1984 in years. Maybe we remember it differently. Best wishes

Gee, see how jaded yet naive one can be. I never think of Dr. Bob when I'm posting. I never even thought he read all the posts. But he must read some because he does pop in now and then.

The disclaimer up top says that what you say could conceivably be used against you, and that is also true of all the A groups (AA, NA, etc.). The A groups are not protected communication, and posting on this board is public, and so not protected. In fact, anyone on this board has access to all the posts.
