As some here are aware of my involvement with slashers I ask the following: awareness of the Netherland Reformed Church. I live in a Bible Belt and have been referred patient who attends this Church. I ask for views pro and con as I know nothing of them.

Thanks again to all.

Here's a website. I don't know why you would want to have anything to do with that church, but I'm sure you'll get differing opinions.

What's a "slasher?"

Jake MSN,

A slasher is someone who cuts themselves.

Jake thank you for the URL. As to attending this group I would not be welcome for I am not Dutch and do not speak the language. So far I have found out this small community of 2,400 are extremely wealthy on the whole. Their pastor is an immigrant from Holland mid 30's married with six children.

My interests lay in the areas of wanting to find out why this young Christian lady of 19 is a slasher. As pointed out slashers are those who cut themselves. Think of a cut needing 50 sutures or more and the picture of these troubled women is there. That is only related to one session. Many slashers of that depth hit themselves about twice a year. The rest of the year is cutting to release tensions.

Many whom I attempt to bring to Christ to do not understand their deep motives for doing so. Should you or anyone else be interested in my approach please read a book called Christo Therapy written by a Jesuit who had psycho therapy with a Jewish Psychiatrist resulting a new approach to councelling.

In plain simple words the approach is: Why are you doing this and may I bring you forward to Christ who heals and will set things straight in your life in the here and now. I try to add humour in this journey when I tell them the old sunday school song about Christ gathering the lambs in HIs arms. " Day and Night He cleans their clocks and gathers the lambs in His arms. " Kinda New York City Brooklyn evangelizing.

He - Christ - does not want you to suffer such ailments as He loves you dearly. I bring them forward allowing them to know they are loved by Jesus not because He needs them - rather - He needs them for He loves them. They in turn must take up the responsibilty of returning that love in a healthy manner.

Thanks for the info, Jean. I think you are to be appluded for your work among the sick. Many a saint was formed doing the same type of work.

-- jake (jake__@msn.com), July 22, 2002.

Thanks again Jake. I do not consider these women sick as in diseased - rather terribly confused in their cognative perceptions of who they are in this world. At one level I do believe due to their abuse when younger a demon does enter and resides patiently waiting it's time to begin the destcutive process.

Christ does step in and cleans it's clock thoroughly through and through. As for myself and others we are simple servants.

I did part the flocks in Holland. For six months I was the highest nobel in Den Haag (The Hague), and claim Den Haag by the law of Kings. The Catholic Church becomes Pre-Tridentine, respecting angel marriage, and recognition of race. Churches that understand race and breeding are NON-RACIST. These should meet in public, the others in private. I purpose to claim Den Haag for Lyon (Southern Holland and Eastern France. Lyon rises to save Holland and to save France. To restore angel knowledge of breeding, and to part the flocks of racists who would conceive mutants in racist culture. I was ascended to Princess/Knight of the Golden Fleece Rita Hill, Proud American

The link posted above is incorrect. The Netherland Reformed Church (NRC) in Holland is not at all affiliated with the NRC in North America. The NRC in North America is affilated with the church called the Reformed Congregations in Holland or Gereformeerde Gemeenten in Dutch. Here's a link that briefly explains the history of why this is. http://reformed.net/church/timeline.shtml As far as I know there is no offical webstite for the NRC in North America.
