Lets be frank folks. Whats the best way to make sure these individuals who are trapped in their heads get help? I deeply wish there was something I could do for those who believe themselves to be at the center of Gods purpose on earth. These people need psychiatric care and in the case of a recent poster visiting here it is very evident they have issues.

It seems we are powerless unless they present a threat to us. I wish it was easier to point the men in the white coats at these guys so as to talk them down from the delusions they use to prop up their Ego and supress the feelings of worthlessness they carry with them.

Suggestions? Has anyone ever been succesful at talking one of these individuals into therapy?

You aren't likely to be successful for in their mind, you're the one with the problem.

Get it?

Someone like you could be attracted with a sign that says "Double your IQ or no money back."

Well of course Jersey, self fulfilling prophecies and ignoring information that does not confirm their delusions go hand in hand. In essence, they believe they are always right even when they are wrong. This goes without saying.

But what, if anything can be done?

Nothing constructive coming from you I see. Hmm, I thought better of you before.

I dunno. Pay the 10K, join the group and see how that goes for you?

Can a link be provided that substantiates the opening post? Please? I feel out of some loop I previously did not know existed. This is like the 2thinkers thing all over again.

I imagine there's a million links per post limit.

LOL, I meant the specific diatribe that spawned the OP.

Its not one specific individual if that is what you mean but more a collection of posters here and elsewhere that exhibit characteristics highly indicative of a break from sanity.
