Larsie's interests episode 1

 I'm interested in the FLDS cult. Teddy is interested in the case of the People's Temple (Jonestown). We're reading Road to Jonestown together over Skype. We already read Escape by Carolyn Jessop together and part of Triumph, also by Carolyn Jessop, and he read other books about Jonestown and I read Church of Lies by Flora Jessop and part of Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall (more books about the FLDS). I'm writing a fictional book on the FLDS, called The Prophet's Property (which I uploaded onto here what I wrote so far), with names changed and that including the name of the FLDS, and some fictionalized details. I might write more on the actual FLDS, both fiction and nonfiction. Teddy is writing a fictionalized book about the People's Temple, and we're going to corroborate our books where escapees from the cult similar to the FLDS help take down a Jim Jones-like figure and stop the People's Temple-like cult from committing mass murder. 


I want to read other books about the FLDS too: Give Me Back My Children (I forget the author), Breaking Free (by Rachel Jeffs), Love, Alyssa (by Alyssa Bistline), The Witness Wore Red (by Rebecca Musser), Lost Boy (by Brent Jeffs), and whatever others are out there, including Maggie Jessop's pro-FLDS ones Full of Beans and Where Much Is Given.

I also read Jessica Rohbock's FLDS diary, which is in a blog online.

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...
