Your Beliefs.....

[Lonelymom]

Ok lets keep this clean and a good discussion not bashing of others... Now for my questions...

I want to know everyone's opinion on three things.  1.)  Do you believe in reincarnation?  2.) Do you believe we have a past life?  3.) Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?

Ok I know 1 and 2 are on in the same but I felt it would give more discussion to seperate. ONce I get a few answers I will explain why I ask. Please keep your opinions honest and respect other's opinions on this.

Lol, I think I would have been a little creeped out too. I have a friend who believes in angel orbs. She had seen some in her pictures. I had never even heard of angel orbs till she talked about it to me. Then I googled it and boy, there's a lot out there on it! Interesting. Not sure what to think about all of that.

I'm not sure on all three.

But, I went ghost hunting for orbs last year .. it creeped me out .. was with a friend .. we took photos and then she developed them and looked for the orbs.  We were in a cemetary dating back to the 1700's ... they encryption on some of the old Dutch Colonial grave heads gave me the {{{{{{{{{{{ chills }}}}}}}}}} ..   I'm not sure,but I got kind of scared and sat in the car ... big baby I guess ?

I don't believe in reincarnation or past lives because it contradicts my Christian beliefs. I do think we all need to be careful because there are evil spirits out there who try to deceive all of us. Just be real careful when it comes to spiritual things. There's so much we don't understand.

Thank you for telling me all that! That helps me to know my decisions are good ones and when I hear success stories like yours it helps me to continue fighting for him. Makes me know he has a chance!

My son has Tourette Syndrome which like Asperger is in the Autistic spectrum,I was the same as you I got sick of psychiatrist going from one med to another to "control" him he started on clonidine at 5,when that wasn't working to their liking that put him on haloperidol at 8,when that stopped working they wanted to put him on risperidone,I think in the US It's risperdol at 12,I took one look at all the possible side effects of this med and said no.Admittedly he couldn't function in the classroom without meds.So I took him out of school and did home schooling with him yrs 7,8,and9 I think that's your middle school,he was 12 to 15.Then he wanted to go back to school he was older and had more control.He went in both school musicals,finished school,earned a place at uni on his own merits,got his first part time job at 16 and has never been out of work since.He is now 24 and is a youth leader at his church and is very well respected.I had to argue with his psychiatrist when I chose to take him out of school he said he would be socially stunted,and he thought I was wrong in taking him off all meds,sometimes we just have to stand up and make our own decisions regarding our children,I am so proud of everything my son has achieved despite dealing with many obstacles along the way.
So I totally agree with you modifying the environment to suit the individual child is more important than the meds they want to put them on to "control" them.
