Dooodee doo do doo *singing song*

No, I wasn't talking about doodee. :P just thought I would clarify.

Anybody know what time it is? No...not Sunday School...IT'S VBS TIME!!!!! YAY!
I am soooo excited and hope it all turns out great. Go princess, it's ya birthday!:-D

Work went good last night. I was in charge at work last night again, and with the exception of my telzon problem, it was smooth as a baby's bottom. Well...the night flowed smoothly I should say. :)

I have a question for all of you out there, please respond. If someone is diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, do you think that would mean they are possesed of an evil spirit? I'd like to hear some input on this.

Happy Wednesday!

ummm... I would need more info. It could be said that I have multiple personalities. My mood changes fast and drastically. However... if the person thinks that they are someone different with each personality then that is whole different ballgame. I would vote possession on that one. *shrugs*

No. True Multiple personality disorder is caused by some physical defect in the brain. It is a sickness, a disease, the same as cancer or MS or anything other physical ailment.

*disclaimer* I am not saying if you have been diagnosed with MPD that you are possessed, I am just asking for input. Someone very close to me was just diagnosed with this..don't know to much about it.

I'm with Wendy. And Becky. Sorta. I have taken every personality test out there, and they all ask, "In this situation would you do this, or this, or this?" And in different situations at different times I would respond differently. They all told me that I was either a people pleaser or I have multiple personality disorder, neither of which is true. I just have many facets to my personality, but all of it is ME and not Eve Black or Eve White.

However, I think that a lot of mental disorders are a manifestation of what is going on in the spiritual. The doctors may say that you have chemical imbalance, but I believe that your spiritual and mental state triggers physical signs in your body, and not vice versa.

I agree with that REALLY long post. haha!! I still believe what I said before too. You would have to know each situation individually. That was just a broad guess. That would be my first impression for watching TV and such. hahaha!! Anyway... I am not saying she is possessed. I was just casually saying what would come to mind. :D I would have to know and talk to her first before I would say definately. Then again.. it still might not be sure. I am NOT willing to discount it all together though. '~'

Dear dear dear Sis. Vicky, please know that I DO NOT think that ALL disease is the result of a spiritual condition. I did not mean to imply that in any way. I do however, belive that TRUE schizophrenia (as in The Three Faces of Eve) is the result of a spiritual condition.

I've seen people who claim to be living Christian lives, having extreme bouts of anger and violence, and blame it on a doctor-diagnosed chemical imbalance or disorder. You can't have it both ways. I guess maybe you'd just have to know the situation.

I don't think that depression is a sin, but however it is out of the will of God and He does not want us to be trapped in that, but to be delivered from it! It's a spiritual thing at any rate.

AND I agree that regardless of the cause, if the sickeness is physical or spiritual, ALL needs to be healed and people have got to be loved... Jesus had compassion on the sick in body and soul.

And I'm still with Wendy... it extremely depends on the person and situation!

Love you all, if I come across in a bad way please talk to me about it. I assure you if you take it in a bad way you don't get me, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings against me when they could just talk to me and straighten everything out.

WHOA...I was just asking, thanks for all the input! I am not throwing stones...I guess I should state the reason I am asking. It's kind of hard though. My cousin, whom I love dearly got saved when she was 15ish and joined TCOG. She later backslid. Well, this past year she and her husband both started coming to church and again and she got saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. Something happened and it was real tough on them. It had to do with her husbands health. They got discouraged really bad, we did all we could do to encourage them, but they eventually gave up. I got a IM from my mom a couple days ago that my cousin had been taken to jail. She apparently has drastic mood changes very quickly and can feel them coming. She got to the point her husband was scared for his life and had to call police. Yesterday she was diagnosed. I still love her with all my heart. I am not going to automatically say she is or isnt one way or another. I guess I had my initial thoughts, but all of your input and views has helped. I have really been praying for her and Josh lately, and am hoping this is the boiling point it needed to come too so they can start the healing again. Pray for her, her name is Marissa and his name Josh. Now you know why I ask...it's not cus of someone I am casting judgement on. It is my family who I have grown up with and am very close to. The only other family besides mom and me who has ever been in the Church...I love her. Please please please pray for Josh and Marissa.
