I share the sentiment. If it weren't so impractical I'd be there ruining their shit.Oni Koneko Damien wrote:Well, fuck, here I was thinking I could remain silent indefinately on this board. Fat fucking chance.
I want to go into this concentration camp, seriously. I want to because I am fully confident that I can far better handle the emotional torture that goes on in there far better than most of the abduction-victims that are already there. I would more than happily sit there and deal with the attempted religious brainwashing simply because it would give me a chance to try and dismantle some of the harm it does from the inside. Most all the inmates there are, I'd guess, rather poorly prepared to deal with a full attempt at brainwashing, which is why it's easier to cow them into submission.
I'm guessing that most likely I'd be kicked out after a very short period because I'm one of those dangerous types who's become immune to brainwashing attempts, and could spread my 'heresy' to others. But then again, drama class could come in handy, pretending to be a good christaholic to others, while silently spreading hope to those less experienced in the realm of identifying and ignoring bullshittery.
*sigh* A nice fantasy, but most likely unworkable. I really hate the society that makes the thought of me putting myself through this emotional hellhole a good moral act.

Um...seeing as how Zach's parents were the fucktards who not only placed him in that shithole camp in the first place, but also, as far as I know, still fully support it, giving them alone-time with Zach doesn't seem to be the best idea to me. As far as I'm concerned, they've proven themselves quite unfit as parents, and Zach should be with someone who actually loves him for who he is.pflag wrote:“As families who have faced these very issues in our own lives, we must give Zach and his family the space and privacy they need to deal with this situation,”
Hell yes. He should be removed from that household immediately and the parents brought up on charges. Knowingly sending your kid to a center run by a guy who would rather have your kid commit suidice than fail to change his basic nature is fucked up beyond belief.Um...seeing as how Zach's parents were the fucktards who not only placed him in that shithole camp in the first place, but also, as far as I know, still fully support it, giving them alone-time with Zach doesn't seem to be the best idea to me.

And that, my friends, is why the organization is under investigation.Rahvin wrote:Hell yes. He should be removed from that household immediately and the parents brought up on charges.

New Blog.
This isn't going to become my life. I won't let it. There's more to me than this. I've erased the original blogs. I know they're still out there somewhere, but the originals aren't. I haven't been able to see all of the news, newspaper, magazine, etc. articles and such, so I don't know exactly what to say. Currently I feel annoyed towards a lot of things. Love In Action has been misrepresented and what I have posted in my blogs has been taken out of perspective and context. I don't take back the things I've said, nor am I going to pretend like it never happened. It did. I refuse to deal with people who are only focused on their one-sided (biased) agendas. It isn't fair to anyone. I'm very frustrated with the things going on in my life now, but everyone has their issues. Homosexuality is still a factor in my life--- it's not who I am, it never has been. Those of you who really know me, know that homosexuality was always there but it didn't run my life, and it will not now.
Obviously, many many people have sent friend requests to me because of the recent events that've place Love In Action, my parents, and I in the center of controversial events. I don't want my blog to become that. Like I said - there is more to me than this. Out of respect for me, I ask, if you cannot keep yourself from posting all over my blogs and commenting all over my profile about the past situation, then please remove me from your friends list. HOWEVER. I know everyone has questions, and I'm not one to be biased. Even though me simply saying that doesn't exactly clear the air... If you have a question, as long as this blog is up and running, you can message me on MySpace.
The emails sent before this date are going to be deleted-- when I get around to it. I'm sorry, it's just overwhelming. I ask that if you aren't a close friend, or good acquaintance, to please keep it short and to the point. I don't need things to be sugar-coated, nor do I need them to be thoroughly explained. I just want to do what I can for the wrongs to be corrected. The media, in my opinion, has made a bit of a mess of things. But, I suppose they did what they could with what they had.
I understand the concern, and I sooo appreciate everyone caring as much as they seemed to have. I REALLY do. But, I'm still alive. I don't believe I've been brainwashed. It's almost insulting, thinking about it, to be brainwashed. I think that I'm going to be ok. I could write forever on how content I felt when I signed on, because of all of the messages, comments, etc.
I'm not going to allow myself to be pressured into a response of any kind - im trying my best.
Thanks. I'll keep adding as it's needed.
