Illuminati insider appalling letter prt 3

I guess the Creator didn't choose the most patient or persevering person to be their spokesperson. If you can't handle 11 pages of ATS ribbing, I can't imagine the tantrum you're going to throw once you get out into the real world.

Permanently.

Trapper Keeper is a brand of loose-leaf binder created by Mead. Popular with students in the United States, Canada and parts of Latin America from the 1970s to the 1990s, it featured sliding plastic rings (instead of standard snap-closed metal binder rings), folders, and pockets to keep schoolwork and papers, and a wrap around flap with a Velcro closure (originally a metal snap closure).

Trapper Keepers usually had a theme, such as a cartoon, television show, or video game. Between 1988 and 1995, "Designer Series" Trapper Keepers featured abstract designs and later computer-generated images.

The binder got its name because it was sold in combination with pocket folders designed by Mead called "Trappers", which differed from other pocket folders in that the pockets' three sides connected with the bottom, outside edge, and top (as opposed to the bottom, outside edge, and spine) of the folders. This design prevented papers from falling out of the Trapper's pockets when it was closed. Trappers were three-hole punched so that they could be put in any 3-ring binder, including a Trapper Keeper.

In 2007, a new version of Trapper Keeper featured a magnetic closure in place of the Velcro closure, a customizable front cover, and binder dividers instead of Trapper folders.

In 2014, another new version of the Trapper Keeper was released, featuring a metal button closure, as well as a new feature called "Snapper Trappers", which are plastic strips that act as dividers and they can have regular notebooks attached to them in addition to folders and dividers; the Snapper Trappers can be placed or removed without having to open the rings of the binder.[1]

Flag this thread if you haven't. Let's get it to the main page!

This thread should be a lesson to all wannabe prophets at ATS.

We possess a very particular set of skills. Skills we have acquired over a very long career of posting. Skills that make us a nightmare for people like you. If you let your prophesying go now, that'll be the end of it. We will not look for you, we will not pursue you, but if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you and we will post ridiculous things about you.

We don't take kindly to trapists 'round these parts.

What is he right though? lol.
We are all buggered lol.

Oh and I do think he is wrong about everything in his three page drivel.
I just wonder If he actually tells anyone else or just the net?.

Well, then I'll see you guys in hell. I've got a nice room reserved in the seventh circle, overlooking the lake of fire.

Edit: I think 6 more flags will push this to the front page. Lol.

a reply to: flammadraco I'm done talking to all of you. It's giving me a headache and I'm very sleepy. I guess yall aren't meant to understand. I'm deeply sorry that it seems inevitable that yall will be removed on judgement day. Ignorance has killed you. Good day to you all.

Is it wrong for me to hope that OP is a glutton for punishment and returns after his nap? I really want to see how many ridiculous clips and images we can link to this thread.

Yes it is wrong

The individual obviously is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic, and we really should not ridicule him/her. It is akin to what the Victorians did back in the day when they opened up Mental Institutes for the paying public to come and laugh at the inmates.

Sad thing is there are a lot of posters on ATS similar to the OP with unwavering belief in things and no matter how much anyone tells them, they don't budge. I would say we do have a lot of undiagnosed mentally ill members on ATS

a reply to: flammadraco

Agreed.

That being said...Come on people, just 4 more flags!

Edit: Just for the record, while I do tease members like the OP a bit, I try to point out the silliness of some of their ideas at the same time, in the hopes that they'll realize it themselves. I do understand that we have a number of members here that suffer from various mental illnesses, and I may cross a line unintentionally now and then, but my jokes are all meant in good fun. My intentions are never to outright ridicule and mock those who may or may not be mentally Ill. I just want to make that very clear.

For having suffered from a psychotic break myself I can tell you that unfortunately even if deep down a part of you knows that your delusions are delusions, you will keep acting and talking like you believe them.

It's very hard to explain the only way I could compare this to is dreaming wide awake. It feels like you are in control of what you say and do but in fact it's only your subconscious which is, and when you try to act or talk out of your conscious mind you break the spell and wake up (or end up lucid dreaming).


There was literally a part of me being horrified witnessing my insane ramblings, and another which was actually thinking it was all making a lot of sense and that there was nothing wrong with it.



I felt really stupid when it all calmed down, but also glad I tried to talk as less as possible during my crisis as to not embarrass myself too much.



Basically there is almost nothing we can say to the OP and similar posters to "snap" them out of their delusions, because it has to come from within. Any strong effort to do so will usually be perceived as an attack and will only reinforce the delusion.

The best way to help them (besides letting them rest) would probably be to make them realize the ridiculousness of their delusions, but it's super hard to do so without it being felt as a critic or an attack.

I'm still trying to find a way to do so from my own personal experience with psychosis but I haven't found an easy solution yet. The day I will the first thing I do is to log on ATS and try it on here

Don't worry it's pretty clear you mean no harm and I actually enjoyed your posts very much

a reply to: admirethedistance

I agree with you!

I do the same and in one thread that I am discussing at the moment, I've been called "The Anti Christ" and "False Teacher", "The Beast" and asked if I was the "Pope" or even if I had 666 marked on my body. I am not kidding you. Several members like the OP in that thread at the moment, all of whom have shown several indicators of mental illness.

Surprising to me is how Religion can instigate Schizophrenia in individuals, mix that with a strong belief in conspiracy theories and you have a text book case for Schizophrenia illness. Unfortunately though, stats show that those schizophrenic patients who class themselves as religious are normally the same patients that tend to STOP taking antipsychotic drugs and end up as pastors or televangelist.

I mean this with all due respect, do you take medication to help with your illness? or was it a one off?

a reply to: JUhrman

Your second paragraph says it all so no need for a 'sorry but.

Heaven and hell are concepts employed by priests and emperors to get people to do as they wish by way of fear. Being pagan I know I come from the earth - there is even a 'made from mud' explanation in the bible - and I will return to the earth and my essence will then blend with the earth and the cycle will begin again. The best example is a seed knowing exactly what it will grow into without any form of instruction or doctoring. 'The earth has its own 'intelligence' which passes down to all the 'life' it supports.

I don't have eternity and neither, probably, does the earth.

a reply to: flammadraco
I wonder if having strong religious beliefs and a tendency to gravitate towards conspiracy theories makes you more susceptible to schizophrenia, or if having schizophrenia increases the likelihood of developing fervent religious beliefs and believing in conspiracy theories. One way or another, there's certainly a correlation.

I think it's true it has been the case, but mostly out of ignorance and bigotry, even from the priests themselves, than through a real and widespread desire to manipulate people (even if it has sometimes been the case).

Today at least the position of the Vatican is clearly that hell is:

- not a place
- not imposed by god (but only self-imposed)
- avoidable through forgiveness (also meaning self-forgiveness)


Basically hell is pretty much what people experience at the approaching moment of death when they start fearing it because they are torn with regrets.

A simple answer to your question is yes....

Religion as a trigger for schizophrenia

Schizophrenia can be triggered by a variety of environmental factors, including significant stress, intensely emotional situations, and disturbing or uncomfortable experiences. It is possible that religion itself may be a trigger for schizophrenia; religious imagery is often very grandiose, and defies commonly held beliefs of what is realistic and natural in the world. Experiencing an intense religious experience may trigger a psychotic episode in those who are vulnerable to them, because religion often requires a believer to suspend their usual idea of what is possible and impossible. This could potentially lead to a psychotic episode due to the shift in realistic thinking; a sufferer may believe that they themselves are religious deities or Messiahs, or that God himself is speaking to the individual. It has been shown that those with schizophrenia who suffer from religious delusions are more religious than those who do not suffer from these delusions.[14] It has also been shown that those who suffer from religious delusions are less likely to continue long-term treatment.[15]

And another tell tell sign is the strong belief in Conspiracy Theories.
