Oh, my therapist is a Christian, but she got her degree from a non-Fundy university, so she must be an apostate.

It’s particularly horrifying to them if you are seeing a therapist who does not advertise as a Christian therapist.

It was interesting to me to watch my fundy friends’ reactions when they discovered I was meeting with a therapist. Funny thing is, half the reason I have to meet with the therapist is to recover from being a Fundy who didn’t believe in therapy. Go figure.

Interesting opinion. He admits early in the first minute that he “counsels” people, but is anti-those who counsel. One must wonder who taught him what and or how to counsel his church. I’m willing to bet when his teeth hurt, he doesn’t read about Daniel or hold an alter call, but that he prefers, instead, to go to a trained, licensed and board certified Dentist. IMHO, those who teach this drivel do so to keep the flock under their control.

I’m in therapy because I grew up hearing drivel like this. These kinds of messages are the reason I almost gave up on Jesus three years ago.

Thanks for posting this video. You’ve successfully made me upset.

There is much damage done by such anti-psychology beliefs. My former fundy pastor used to teach that depressed people just need to do more for God (a change of focus). Nope, no need for medical attention or anti-depressants. His fake doctorate obviously rendered him an expert on such things.

And God help the poor fundy church member who struggles with bi-polar, schizophrenia, OCD, autism, and/or ADHD. Reading their Bible more, spending many hours in their “prayer closet”, serving in a ministry, and door knocking faithfully is not going to bring the relief God has provided for them through medicine.

Fundy churches can be very damaging to people who need the services of a psychiatrist.

â€œThe Bible has the answers to everythingâ€

I would be happy if they actually knew their Bibles (and not just the prooftexts), and used them instead of spouting off their “fundiology”.

According to heathen Jung, he’s probably a repressed INFP. =D

“It’s easy. You’re always supposed to do right and you’re never supposed to sin.” Ok. I wonder how that’s working for him.
