Exposing Psychology, Exalting Christ March 2005 |
The Bible predicts that in earth's last days, men would not repent of their murders and sorceries, even in the midst of God's judgment upon the earth:
"Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." Revelation 9:21.
The Greek word for "sorceries" in this verse is the word pharmakeia, which actually means "druggings," and from which we get the English word "pharmaceutical." God knew that in the last days, the use of mind-altering drugs (legal and illegal) would increase along with murders.
In this issue we get a doctor's insider view of the legal case of Christopher Pittman, a 15-year-old Christian boy who murdered his grandparents and torched their house while on antidepressants. We also celebrate a new federal law that prohibits schools from forced student drugging for ADD/ADHD, an imaginary behavioral disorder invented by the APA to grow their industry.
We hope you enjoy the issue and forward it to others - they can subscribe to this monthly newsletter for free by simply emailing lisaandryan@psychologydebunked.com with "Add" in the subject line.
Yours in Christ,
Lisa and Ryan Bazler

 | New federal law outlaws schools from forcing parents to drug kids |
In December 2004, President Bush signed into law the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), which includes language that prohibits schools from forcing parents to drug their kids as a condition of receiving educational services. This law expands on the Child Medication Safety Act of 2003 by including all DEA-controlled substances. That means schools can no longer force children to take all types of stimulants for ADD/ADHD—Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Cylert, etc.--as well as Xanax and other psychiatric medications controlled by the DEA. If you or someone you know have been coerced or threatened by school officials to give these psychiatric drugs to your children, the law is now on your side, and you can "Just Say No" without fear of your child being kicked out of school. Read the excerpt from this Act here.

Dr. Bob Jacobs, psychologist and attorney, says ADD and ADHD "were invented and not discovered, and efforts to popularise these diagnoses are based on politics and economics and have little to do with medicine." He asks, "Since when did these childhood behaviours, ranging from normal to non-compliant, become a disease?" He reveals the medical truth behind the ADHD label and explains why it’s not going away any time soon. Read Dr. Jacobs’ informative new article here.

| Doctor in Pittman case blames Paxil and Zoloft for Christian boy’s murder of grandparents |
Dr. Ann Blake Tracy tells the truth behind the Christopher Pittman case—truth that the jurors couldn’t know thanks to the influence of Pfizer, makers of the antidepressant Zoloft. Pittman, a 15-year-old Christian boy who fatally shot his grandparents and set their house on fire in South Carolina three years ago, has recently been convicted of murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. We believe the number of cases like this will only increase in the church if we don't start warning our congregations of the physical and spiritual dangers of psychiatric drugs. Read why Dr. Tracy believes this boy was the innocent victim of a drug that made him a viscous killer.

| Letters: Psych professor responds to grad student’s "new" psychological theory |
Last month we met Dan, a former Texas police officer enrolled in a graduate program in Psychology (see http://www.psychologydebunked.com/email0502_letters.htm). One of his most recent Psychotherapy class assignments was to construct a new personal theory of human behavior (see http://www.psychologydebunked.com/documents/Personal Theory Final Draft.pdf). Dan’s theory wasn’t new at all, but rather consisted of the biblical teachings of sin, forgiveness, and Christian growth and sanctification with no mention of psychology.
See the psychotherapy professor’s response to Dan’s new theory.

Every moment of every day, we must choose to serve self (through the resources of the flesh) or serve Christ (through the resources of the Spirit). Serving self produces much of what psychology would call mental disorders and diseases. The apostle Paul describes this struggle of the flesh versus the Spirit in Romans 6, 7 and 8. In these Day By Day By Grace devotionals, Pastor Bob Hoekstra helps us understand the power we have to overcome our fleshly tendencies by turning from self to Jesus Christ:
