First, in response to the suggestion that psychologists don't really believe people are describing themselves, unknowingly, while they're describing other people ... I can only say you have the right to believe whatever you want to believe; but, you can easily research this phenomonon online. Like I said I'm no psychologist and know little about it, but I have heard about that and followed through and read about it. I don't think someone would commit suicide over something they heard in freshman psychology class! lol I can't believe introductory freshman psychology would cause someone to commit suicide!

You know something?
I'm getting damn tired of having someone tell me that, "I have the right to believe whatever you want to believe;"
NO, I don't have a right to believe something and express it at large where it might cause damage to someone, -in this instance keeping them from getting the help that they need.
If as you say this is so "easy to research this phenomonon online." why don't you just give us a reference as to how to find it?

If my memory serves me correctly Freud called this process of the mind as 'transference' - a person's mind (ego) refuses to accept what they are feeling/thinking/saying and transfers those feelings/thoughts to another person (usually to the person about whom those thoughts are centred).
I am sure if you googled 'Freud transference' you will find a better explanation.

Here's a couple of references which seem to have some excellent links on the subject: www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=psychologists+know+when+we+describe+others+we+describe+ourselveswww.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Self-knowledge+psychologyI remember one time, back in my rowdy days, after high school, my twin brother and I sort of talked out buddy into going with us to visit this old lady where we had attended meetings in her home since we were babies. (Our buddy knew nothing about the truth), well she was glad to see us, and I have to admit we were glad to see her too; but, being full of tarnation and rowdiness, as teenagers are, we, at wit, all three lit up swisher sweet cigars after we left her house, and puffed on em' awhile, then we threw the "stubbies" in her front yard ... I believe still lit. We may have tried to snuff them out, I don't recall. I found out some years later, after I went back to meetings and professed, an elder of the meeting there at that old lady's house, told me, over dinner, how that lady thought we were smoking marijuana! She went out and picked up each stubby with a pair of tweezers and took them to the police department and had them analyzed, not before "gabbing" it around that we were smoking marijuana on her front porch! Now, forbid, I hope she wasn't describing herself. A few months later I started 'sparkin' after this gal in the truth whom I'd known from childhood, and she later became a worker, but has since left the work; however, we started dating and she outright asked me one night if I had ever smoked marijuana. I didn't come right out and say NO, instead I asked her what she thought. She answered me " ... I can tell that you have ..." " ... at least once ..." she said. Well I swear I NEVER have! Ha! I too hope she wasn't describing herself. Ha! But, what I've read people do often describe themselves to a high extent while describing others; not every time, but often.

Actually, I believe you do have that right. Morally/ethically perhaps you feel you shouldn't always express your view. Can you give an example where your right to express your belief(s) might be abridged?

Hillsboro IN convention closed in the 1990s. They were down to one day for awhile. Greg Harger's grandparents the Crofts owned the grounds. GH is overseer of Michigan US at the present moment.

Some old men have claimed that too much skin makes these young ones more vulnerable to CSA. Isn't that approach a bit of a blaming the victim?? The overseers of the 70s and 80s would be surprised to see so much skin on the grounds. And this trend has been occurring in other churches as well. Today's youth impress by the latest computer gadget and not fancy suites. That is how it is even if some hardliners object to it.

As long as the makers name is not showing, then the length is OK.
