Why I no longer go to the LDS church

I can’t believe the odasoity of some people! After what Jim Thomas did to us, they have the nerve to ask us to go back to church! Jim Thomas for those who haven’t been reading my blog very long, is the Old Orchartd Beach town manager who forced us out of our home and off our land. Land that had been in our family over 300 years! Land that was settled by the original found of the Town and my several greats grandfather Thomas Rogers! Jim Thomas and Ken Shoop those greedy, high poluting, money grubing land monger bastards took everything away from us and forced us to live homeless on the streets until hud finally got us into an apartment!

We had to live on the streets in a tent for 8 months! And it wasn’t even a tent, it was a trap and so cinder block. And it was during Maines sub-zero winter of 2006 when the temp went down to -15 below zero. My fingers froze and are now stiff as a result, and I can draw any more, and it’s hell for me to pick up a pen a write now. Me and artist and writer, not only did he steel our home, he lost me my career!

People at church know about this, and yet they have the odassity to actually ask me to come back to church! Come back to church! Why, so I can sit there next to Jim Thomas? So I can meet up with him the hall? Or his croony secritary and her husband, whov’e been hounding the hell out on us? I’d have to sit for 3 hours with those thieving bastards! They stole or house. And why? What was there reason? In the words of Ken Shoop:” Because this is Old Orchard!”… huh? what? What the hell kind of a reason is that???

They tried to take our animals! My babies! My cats and dog and birds! We had fight like hell to keep them. The members of that church put us through hell and back and they expect us to want to go to church????? They did that to us and they really don’t know why I stopped going to church????

“Do you want to go to church?” oh yes, of course I’m just dieing to go back to the church that help steel our home from us. The church that seperated me from my family, and my animals, and destroied my book collection, and stole my grandmothers stamp collection, smashed my records, puverized my grandmother clock, they seperated me from my brothers and my animals and they can actually think I want anything to do with going back to church!!!!!!! …. oh yes, I’m just dieing to go back to that church! What the hell are they thinking? “but They’ve changed, they backed off”…. yeah, right, they backed off after they tforced us out on the streets and ruined my hands so I can’t draw and write anymore. They cbacked off after they got our land. Of course they backed offf. What need is there for the 2 years of harassment and vandalisim anymore now that the have the land? Answer me that one! The only way I want to go back to that church is if Jim Thomas, gets up in front of the ward and apologiges in front of his peers and prints up a public apology in at least 5 big newspapers and returns our land to us. Than and only than well I want to go back to that church, and even than I’m not sure I’ll want to go back.

 

All I have is this to say:

Going to church on Sunday does not make you a Christian anymore than sitting in a garage on Saterday makes you a car!

It is what you say, that makes you a Christian.
It is what you do, that makes you a Christian.
It is how you treat others, that makes you a Christian.
It is what is in your heart, that makes you a Christian.
It is love for one another, that makes you a Christian.

It is who you are,
not where you are,
that makes you what you are!

I love this one, so cute.

This is a cute annimated/claymation movie created by Tim Burton (his first). In this one man show, Vincent Price plays a boy named Vincent who believes he is Vincent Price trapped in an Edgar Allan Poe book and suffers the dire consequences.

Check out this video: vincent

Thank You!

Just wanted to say thank you to all my myspace friends who sent me Birthday wishes over the past week! After the hell I’ve gone through this past year, you have noidea how much any once of kindness means to mean. I wish my ex-real friends were as nice as you all.

Squidoo’s wish list

I sent this comment to my 3 Squidoo friends here on MySpace, but than I thought, I’m gonna want to referance this list myself. There aren’t actually very many things on this list that I would use to create Squidoo lenses, however reading the list does spark a few ideas for other topics I’d like to write about, so here is the comment I sent them, posted here for my personal referance:

Seth Godwin (the guy that created Squidoo) sent me an email. He said that people have been requesting lens topics to be made, and he from those requests has made a list of the top 100 most requested lens topics. (Topics that there are currently no lenses for, but that people have asked more than once for others to build). I don’t know if there’s anything on the list that you’d want to build a lens for or not, cause I didn’t read the entire list yet; but I figured it might give you some ideas for new topics to create lenses for, even if there wasn’t anything on the list that you wanted to write about, so, here’s the list that he sent me:

~~Wendy

Feel like building a new lens? Here’s a list Megan and I put together of 100 dream topics.

World’s Worst Poet

Never give up, there are lessons to be learned from failrure. Just look at this guy. He was the world’s worst poet when he was alive, and yet 100 years later he’s still the world’s worst poet, but his poems continue to sell anyways! Besides, now you know that no matter how bad your poems are, their well always be someone who is worse!

Today’s Answers.com Spotlight:

William McGonagall, gleefully known as one of English language’s worst poets, continues to get no respect. Last month, plans for a memorial to him at the Writers Museum in Edinburgh (alongside those honoring Robert Burns, Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott) were blocked by the Saltire Society in Scotland. In an epithet on a volume of his works, McGonagall’s own publisher called him the world’s worst poet. In spite of his detractors, McGonagall’s works have remained in print for over a hundred years. He used to carry an umbrella everywhere he went, because there was always a chance he would be pelted with tomatoes.

Quote: “I wondered what could be the matter with me, and I began to walk backwards and forwards in a great fit of excitement, saying to myself, ‘I know nothing about poetry.’” — William McGonagall

Finished Reading Harry Potter 7

Finished HP7 3 days ago. … what a bloodbath! She had said she was killing off 2 characters. YIKES! She started bumping them off right in chapter one and than keep on going in each chapter to follow! How many characters did she kill off? I don’t know, I lost count after chapter 4! My brother says it was 15 all together (main and sub characters that is…. closer to 50 if you count Death Eaters and Muggles too).

Deathly Hallows is by far the fastest moving, most action packed book in the series. Only one complaint: so as not to add any spoilers for those who haven’t read it yet, I’ll not name names… I loved the book execpt for one really big minor detail: she killed off my fave character!!!! WAAAAA!!! Not only killed him, but singled him out to slaughter him, which turned out to be a major turning point for the story and changed everything you thought you knew about the series and totally turned it upside down!

Currently reading : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) By J. K. Rowling Release date: 21 July, 2007

Quagga

Answers.com says:

Spotlight:

On this date in 1883, the last known quagga in the world died in an Amsterdam zoo and scientists have been trying to bring it back ever since. The quagga looked a lot like a zebra but with stripes only on its front half (in that sense the opposite of an okapi, which has stripes only on its hindquarters). The Quagga Project has had some success in breeding back; Henry, born in 2005, is the closest we now have to a quagga. But there are also the aptly named zedonks and zorses and other members of the zebroid (zebra hybrid) family, which are generally sterile. Quote: “So you see! There’s no end To the things you might know, Depending how far beyond Zebra you go!” — Dr. Seuss in On Beyond Zebra!

Vincent Price Movie Marathon!

Anyone else watching it? Twenty-four hours, all Vincent Price, all day, all night. Now why can’t they do this everyday? I haven’t seen a Vincent Price Movie Marathon since I was 8 years old! Back than I scared myself out going into the backroom of the Shop at night as a result of “The Mad Magician”. It was the only time I had ever seen this movie, and today I barely remember anything about it, other than the fact that it burned in my memory as the scariest thing I had ever seen, and I couldn‘t wait to see it again. (My mom owned a craft-shop back than, and I watched the VP movies marathon in the backroom.) Though he had scared the wits out of me that day, he instantly became my favorite actor, and today still remains my #1 all time fave. While I’ve seen 50 of his movies, there are still about 30 more that I have never seen.

You can imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to discover that TCM had hosting a Vincent Price Movie Marathon… Vincent Price all day, none stop, no commercials, no interruptions, just Price movie after Price movie, back to back to back! And they kicked it off with…. that’s right, you guessed it: “The Mad Magician”!

The Mad Magician

The Tingler

The Master of The World

The Last Man on Earth

Tower of London

Fall of House of User

Pit and The Pendulum

Tales of Terror

The Mask of The Red Death

The Tomb of Ligeria

The Abominable Dr. Phibes.

Theater of Blood.

Of that list 5 of them I had never seen before. One, “The Master of the World“, could quickly become ranked as one of his best. A mad scientist builds a giant silver star ship, than goes on a rampage blowing up entire counties. That sounds strangely familiar to me. King Vielder and Melaca and their ship The VISION~D8 and their first arrival on planet earth? WOW! And here I thought I created that idea, now I find that Vincent Price did it in one of the movies I’d missed seeing… and that movie being based on a book written over 100 years ago! I’m sorry to say, that in all my reading, I have never read anything by Jules Vern. I must correct that and read The Master of the World, as soon as I have finished Harry Potter 7, which I am reading right now.

So, anyone else out there mesmerized by 24 hours of the greatest actor of all time today?
