I will never understand the pain you confront. I will remember when I pray for my daughter to include ALL of God’s children who face similar challenges. Be well FRiend.
Okay -- for those that want to know, here's the quote:
5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.
8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
I see nothing about medicine in general, or mental health specifically. Can you elaborate? (and I mean something "real", not some vague, I'm-so-esoteric-in-my-mind crap like you've been spouting.)
Is the very study of medicine itself evil, in your opinion? YES or NO?
I recently saw “The Final Cut” with Williams on Netflix. I guess the movie’s already 10 years old.
My mom worked at a restaurant in SF that Williams frequented. She said he was always unbelievably nice and polite. I saw him in the audience way back when, at an SF comedy club. He seemed quite humble and nice.
I think the mod threw him off the thread. Quite possibly the stupidest poster I’ve encountered on FR.
Thank you for your service FRiend,
with prayers for strength, lifting on your behalf.
It is mostly about medicine, but also about turning to men in any way.
That is precisely the point; men’s methods can’t help us; we have to turn to him.
that’s complete speculation.
apparently he did suffer greatly from depression which his family and/or publicist has acknowledged. He was a big coke head way back when I can tell you that. much of his comedy routine was about being high.
No, you take that honor!
Some of my favorite ones involved Robin with Jonathan Winters. There are a few of them but the one I am remembering involved about 5-10 minutes of razor sharp improv where they bounce off each other. What a stunning talent.
Please answer: Is the very study of medicine itself evil, in your opinion? YES or NO?
If NO, please elaborate on why the study of medicine for mental illness is bad, in your opinion.
Please stop.
they aren’t afraid of life. they want the pain to stop.
Do you believe God’s word? Yes, or no?

The only movie I saw him in was “The Birdcage”.
sometimes it’s a chemical problem in the brain.
I'm convinced that He does. God knows what is in everyone's heart, and He is merciful and just. I pity those who believe that God is evil and hateful. If you can see the good in someone, surely God can see it.
“One Hour Photo” (2002)
thank you.
most people who do not either suffer themselves, or live with a family member who does, do not comprehend mental illness, specifically depression.
