[edit] Religious information

Since Marshall Rosenberg isn't involved in any religious organizations or work, in my opinion it's not pertinent to mention the religion of his parents. DBlomgren 01:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

This is 66. I know Dr. Marshall Rosenberg is not with any religious organization. My changes are a result of the relgious content in the NVC book and the NVC psychotherapy I was involved with. I do not have a users page, but you can e-mail me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.189.62.30 (talk • contribs) February 8, 2007.

Hello, Rich,

I removed your e-mail address to help you avoid spam. Check out What Wikipedia is not, which says "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information. That something is 100% true does not mean it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia."

So why do you think it's important or relevant to include his religion? (P.S. Please sign you comments by typing ~~~~. DBlomgren 03:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The reason why I felt it was relevant was I was involved in NVC psychotherapy with a Uncertified NVC trainer who was a psychiatric social worker and she did not tell me of the religious content in the NVC book and I was unprepared for the religious counseling, because of my past problems with religion and the violence I witnessed in it. This social worker also violated many of the NVC rules and 19 rules of her license. The result left me very hurt and depressed. I talk about this in great detail if you go to the Let See if Can Apply NVC to NVC Edit page and click on the frown face. >—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rich 5721 (talk • contribs) 10 February, 2007.

Thanks, Rich. This clarifies some things. It sounds like you want to help other people avoid the shock and hurt you felt. I have read the book Nonviolent Communication and I saw very little religious content, other than Rosenberg speaks of being discriminated against for his religion and has mediated religion-based conflicts. Could you tell me what content you're referring to? Or is it possible that the social worker distorted the religious content?

Also, I looked for the frown face on the NVC talk page and couldn't find it. :( DBlomgren 17:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Heya Rich.

You putting in your own thoughts about NVC or Marshell Rosenberg violates WP:OR. If you can find a published reliable source WP:RS which says what you do, then please put the material in and cite it.Sethie 17:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Dblomgren

I don't know how you Cannot see the Religious content or the teachings of Jesus Christ in Dr.Rosenberg's Language of Life book. First thing the word Noviolent Communication comes from the HUNDI teaching of Gandiu. On page 15 Dr. Roseberg quotes the words of Jesus Christ Book of Matthew 7/1. On page 181 Dr. Rosenberg tells his version of Corinthians 1 Chapter 13 1/13 Gift of Love from the New Testament. On page 181 Dr. Rosenberg says we Children of God. In the Epilogue section of the NVC book there is a parable story of the second coming of Jesus Christ. The section about punitive force page 162 Dr. Rosenberg tells the reader not to follow Proverb 23 13/14 in the Old Testament which says Spare the Rod Spoil the Child. There is also alot of Hundism and Buddism in the book too. Even the cover the Sunflower is the Christian Symbol for World Peace. That is why the earth's contients are yellow instead of green. Check out the other sections of the bible I mention and you will see how it applies to NVC book. I am not putting my own thoughts about NVC or violating WP:OR. My published source is the Language of Life NVC book. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN READ THE SAME BOOK AS I AND NOT SEE THIS??
