1. All scenes all what people need to see. It will open peoples eyes to see what their neighbors are really up to. 2. I never looked at myself as someone on there way to a meth head I always prefred pot. But had begun to use meth an after hearin you it was like a light goin off tn my head Thank u for wat u do 3. I was in high school at the time I heard
David's story, and it was so amazing! I am now a few
years older and still look back on the presentation
as a great learning tool! He does an amazing job and
anyone who is able to hear his story is very
fortunate! 4. I believe it should be mandatory for every
child of jr high and high school age, as well as
every person in the legal system for drug use, to
hear and see this program. It would be nice if you
offered the program on video or some other mean of
communication, so when Mr. Parnell couldn't make an
appearance there would be an alternative. God bless,
You do a wonderful job and give much hope to
everyone affected by this evil. 5. i went tonight to my home church where david
was at to hear his story. i took my 8 year old with
me to hear and see what happens on drugs. he was so
interested and talked to me about it. i wish there
were more people out there like david to keep
america off this killer. i thank God in heaven for
saving him so he can help save ohers before its to
late. keep up the good work i will be praying for u.
lisa, mercer baptist church greenville, ky 6. This program an eye opening experience!
David's story is very inspiring. David is a very
courageous man. I would like to thank him for
sharing is story. Keep sharing this story. God Bless 7. You Came to Ohio County High School In Beaver
Dam Kentucky and i was one of the students in the
audience. And i thought, me being a christain it was
awsome that you are going around the world telling
your story. Want to thank you for coming. Take care
i 8. Moving! 9. Hello David, my name is Angela and I met you
at Glad Tiddings Church in Duluth MN. by the way we
miss you, think of you, and still praying for you to
continue your calling. I hope every thing is good
and that you and your family had a wonderful holiday
season. I just wanted to let you know how much
education you gave me in seeing things that I
couldnt see. I work in public transit I am a driver
for the Duluth Transit Authority. I know alot of
people didnt get to see you when you came to Duluth
I had the honer to hear you speek at my church and I
caught you at the decc witch I had to do some fancy
talking to get in that one.( I had to sit on the
floor) but I know a lot of people that came from
hundreds of miles were turned a way. I really hope
to see you come hear again. I believe Duluth did a
good job advertising, but not suppling adiquite
space. Bless you, your family and the your staff
with helping you do your job for the communitys that
are getting destroyed by this beast called meth.
love you Angela 10. "This program really opened my eyes about
Meth. The pictures were very graphic and I think
that was the extra push that we needed to not do
drugs in the future." 11. i honeslty think it was amazing to have him
come to our school in estill county, kentucky i did
some drugs my freshman year of school ,drinking and
smoking pot mostly and few pills nothing major but
if i was still in the drug period having daivd
coming to our school and with his wonderful
presentation i would stop them right there,but
having that said i do no such of drugs and have'nt
for 2years now, but its great what he is doing and
it was a great performance, it really gave you an
idea of what drugs "meth" mostly can desroy your
life in such a short time. I enjoyed him and his
information about drugs some things were unbarrying
to see and others made you want to cry but it gave
you a great sense of how your life can end up by
being a drug user. Keep up the good work i thank him
for coming once again. god bless him. 12. i am a mother of 2 sons 1 addicted to oppites.
the other on crack cocaine. the oppite user has been
clean for 15 months. i give that thanks to god. he
is in drug court he seen your program oct.21 2008
and he said if anyone uses drugs after seening it
they are just wanting to die. he was very touched by
it . so touched that i went on line and watched it
myself.and now i see what he meant.i personaly
myself hate drugs, they have caused so much hurt and
pain for my family.my oldest son addicted to crack i
have not seen or heard from since july6,2008 do not
know if he is dead or alive.i just keep praying that
god will save him.so yes your program is helping and
god bless you and your family especially those 7
children at least god gave you back to them.what a
wonderful blessing. see my son on crack cocaine has
2 sons i have had the oldest 1 all his life. he is
12 years old.his other 1 is 9 years old. lives with
his mother they have different mothers.the oldest
childs mother uses all drugs including needles. so
yes keep up the good work and keep living and
working for god.......god bless....... 13. It really helped me see the damage drugs can
do to you. 14. I am a foster parent in Waseca County
Minnesota I had in my Care 3 meth Addicted children
for more than a year. They suffered seizures and
still do. They were returned home to father a meth
addict/ alcholic/ dignosed phsycophrenic. We as a
community have sent many complalints to our Social
service system however nothing is being done. The
kids are filthy, locked in there room with a rope
tied to another door so they can't get out. People
are constantly coming and going. They happen to live
2 doors down from us and parties go outside for days
neighbors have witnessed children being thrown down
the steps and nothing is being done. I did ask this
question at your awsome presentation. Any more
suggestions of what we can do. My childrend thought
your presentation was great very graphic but great.
I have seen the affects that meth can have on
children and we in Minnesota need to help these
kids. Our counties don't seem to want to deal with
it. Help 15. I really enjoyed David's Presentation. It was
very powerful, and we want him to come back to N.M.
sometime soon. It is now the talk of the town! 16. I really loved the program! Its helps me
understand alot from the past with my dad! I finally
realized why everything went the way idid with my
father when i was a child! It relly opened my eyes
and i want to Thank You! 17. After seeing the presentation at my school, I
thought that David's story was sad and I will not
even think about doing meth. 18. what an amazing story. i think that in
today's society kids need to SEE the harm drugs do
to people and this presentation did just that. god
bless you and your family. again, thank you for
doing this! 19. Your presentation was amazing. Keep up the
good work! I feel your message will truly touch
people. God Bless! 20. Please Come Back to Southern Indiana. There
are so many people that need to hear you message. 21. First I would like to say thank you very
much. I took my children to see the
presentation.This drug is a problem in our county
to. I have been talking to them for awhile about the
dangers in drugs, but this had a great effect on
them.They are still telling there friends about what
they saw and heard. I think it will be something
they will carry with them a long time. 22. I think your presentation at Robbinsville
High School, was very effective! I personally think
that you talking to us students really changed our
mind about drugs... THANK YOU 23. WE ALL LIKE YOUR PROGRAM... WE WISH WE COULD
SEE IT ALL.. 24. i wouldnt try meth 25. I would love to see this in every school in
Henry county, and also all churches There are so
many kids searching for something in Henry county.
Please contact the Henry county school system and
see if there is any way you could get in. I heard
you last night at Birds Creek Baptist Church in
Paris. Thank you so much for what you are doing. God
Bless B Roberts 26. The presentation was very moving and i
thought it was excellent. 27. I would generally give Mr. Parnell's program
a 5-star rating. I would most certainly hope that
the program would deter anyone even thinking of
trying this poison that not only directly kills its
users but also supports acts of terrorism with its
profits. 28. He did a wonderful presentation and showed
the truth about what really happens. 29. This presentation is one of the most eye
opening presentations I have seen in my life! It is
absoulutely amazing! I honestly can say I will never
forget it. Thanks for going through what youd did to
teach all of us kids this:) 30. I loved your presentation, as a addict, i
dont want to continue doing the worst drug. i saw
what you all went through and i've been through some
myself, but i cant imagine going through everything
you have. Your speech really changed my mind on what
I thought meth was. Thank you for coming to my
School (huron high school) and talking to all of us
on meth. Im going to be getting some help. thank you
again 31. It is pretty cool that you, David, overcame
meth. It is very brave to go out and teach others
not to do it too. 32. I just want to encourage you to continue to
be bold in sharing your true release from these
chains in Christ. I give Him the praise and glory
for your life and ministry. May He continue to bless
you. Love in Christ, P 33. The presentation was amazing. It was very
helpful to me because I have been offered meth
before and I was actually thinking of trying it once
just to see what everyone was talking about and why
people liked it and all of my friends were offering
it to me so this presentation was very helpful in
deciding how to live my life and I now know that I
want to live it drug free. So thank you for helping
me and my classmates. 35. The best presentation I've seen of its
type...a cautionary but caring man and message.
Thanks! Mrs. Pam Stille 36. Great program! 37. I believe that being able to see the "before"
and "after" photos of people on meth and the photos
of innocent children abused and damaged by parents
on meth really drove home the point to our kids, not
to mention the photos of the aftermath of David's
shooting. The way you handled the issue of your
faith in God helping pull you through your ordeal
was tactfully done. Enough was said to give the
students the idea but not so much to cause problems
with the state. My wife and I teach and minister at
a center for men trying to get their lives back from
drug and alcohol abuse. The Hope Center in
Russellville is treating the whole man: body, soul,
and spirit. With God's help, and the habits
developed and spiritual growth achieved during their
year there they have a better chance at staying
free. Thank you for all you gave to us. Dale Simmons
Registrar 38. With students, It would be help to do a
survey and address any questions or comments they
have before a presentation. A follow up with the
students and teachers would help futher inform
students. Our school has an advisory where our
students could talk about the problem(s) associated
with the use and problems with Meth, 39. Graphic but compassionate; excellent
presentation. 40. The only downside to the presentation was
that by projecting the show on the gym wall instead
of a screen, students on the side got a very
distorted view. The images would have been much more
effective with our younger students if they could
have seen what was intended. Overall though, the
message itself was quite clear and made a lasting
impression on many many many of the students at our
school. I applaud your courage and determination for
what you are doing to help others fight meth
addicton. God bless you, David Parnell. 41. The presentation was difficult to hear; a
stronger sound system would help. Also, please don't
talk so fast. I realize you had to do this to get
all of your message in, but when you talk fast and
the sound system is poor the whole program loses its
effectiveness. Otherwise, well done and keep trying. 42. Thank you for visiting out school. The
discussions that followed between the students and
teachers was absolutely great. You touched many
lives because you came forth to tell your story.
Thank you. 43. This presentation opened the eyes of many of
our students and faculty. It was well presented and
the message was very clear. 44. i think you are doing a great deeed. im
looking forward to seeing your program again at
church on the 17th. i am bringing my nephew with me.
i think hearing your story could help. keep up the
good work. god bless. sandi york 45. I think it is good to show and tell the cold
hard truth. 46. May have been the best anti-meth program I've
ever seen, certainly the most hard-hitting. Keep up
the good work, keep spreading the message, and may
God bless you in your work. 47. Over a year later, people in our community
continue to make reference to David's visit. I think
he definitely made an impression on everyone. We
feel blessed to know him and honored to have had the
opportunity to bring him to southern Indiana to
share his message. 48. I am looking forward into seeing you again in
the vicksburg area. Daniel Harris Drug Court. 49. Not only was David's presentation moving but
I found help from his wife after the fact. Living
with a recovered addict and his child is a daily
challenge but there is hope. David & his
presentation gives hope to many. Jess & Brian 50. very effective presentation 51. David's presentation is very effective, and
his experiences seemed to hit home better than
similar forums put on by law enforcement. People
know and appreciate that it takes him courage to
tell his story to an audience, and his story is
shocking enough to get through to even the
hardest-core meth user. We have worked well with
David when we brought our educational displays to
his events, and we think Moms and Dads Against Meth
and David Parnell make a good team here in
Wisconsin! 52. David Parnell's meth presenations should be
viewed by all schools nationwide. We got to know
David by a drug awareness project my daughter Shauna
started as a freshman. She now is a senior and we
have kept in touch with the Parnell family
throughout these years. We pray that David continues
his work and that law enforcement and school
districts continue to hire him. We really wish he
could get more national attention with the media on
such programs as Dateline, 60 Minutes, Dr. Phil,
Oprah so he could reach out on a wider scale. 53. too me i though it very intersing that some
one could live through this and teach on it 54. I really do appreciate David, his strength
and courage to continue carrying the message
throughout Native America. And to know that there
are other like myself that contines to be of service
to others. Thank you for sharing, you have a
powerful story!! 55. testing from Amy 56. David is an excellent presenter and does a
great job of informing all in attendance of the
dangers of meth. Very touching. 57. i have seen David twice, once while in
treatment and once last fall, he is awesome! for
question 6 my true answer would should be no, but i
only say trhis becasue i AM a former cook and i dont
think anyone can make me anymore inclined to take
action. i said yes to #6 from the point of view of a
non-cook. i hope that makes sense. 58. I wish you all the best of luck in life.
Thank you very much for sharing your life changing
story. 59. sometimes David was a little difficult to
hear and understand. He spoke very quickly and in an
large audience, it was hard to understand. 60. I really enjoyed hearing David's personal
story. I think it takes students to hear it on a
personal basis to make some understand the risk it
has on your life. 61. hello David Hope things are going well for
you in the new year, I really do not know how you
could improve on your program, we have been talking
about geting you back in the Williston area again,
take care , Joe McGillis 62. I very much enjoyed this presentation and
think that the studnets watching the presentation
thought so as well. Although the presentation was
hard to hear at times, due to the sound system at
our school, the information was very informative and
real. I was very pleased with the presentation and
hopefully can work with you all in the future on
programming. 63. number 4 is a hard one, meth is such a liar's
drug I think if a person gets pressured they might
try it anyway. They will know the effects though so
maybe they won't continue if that's possible. very
good, really enjoyed ourselves. thanks so much lisa 65. Amazing! |
