Freedom of Speech: Combat In Regards to My Campaign against the Church of the New Jerusalem

Dear Readers, I wanted to take a moment tonight to reflect on my campaign towards the Church of the New Jerusalem.  All I ever had for Rachel, her family, and her faith was respect but I was shown nothing but judgment.  This is about my freedom of expression and being able to say what I have to say to people who don't want to listen.  I would have privately squashed this situation with the people in the New Church but instead they would rather have it this way.  So all those of you who laughed, made excuses, and turned me away then that is fine.  I am spreading the word and I am letting people know how you treat other children of God.   I also want to reflect on my ChickfilA and Family Values Blog with a song.  I am using the song "Combat Rock" which is a protest song.  I am using it because of the strong message it has about standing up for what you believe in.  I am also using it because Sleater Kinney the band who wrote it are women who shaped my life. Strong women who stood up for what they believe in.  They broke up in 2007 because Corin Tucker wanted to spend time with her then very young child,  She is married and has a family but still has the Corin Tucker Band.  Janet Weiss the Drummer and Guitarist Carrie Brownstien are now in the band Wild Flag.  Carrie is also co creator of the show Portlandia with Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen.  She is also openly gay.  She has been one of my heroines for years and in 2011 I finally got to meet her. I didnt ask for an autograph just that I wanted to shake her hand and tell her how much she meant to me.  I will never be bigoted, hateful, or treat others with disrespect because of my religious or political beliefs.  What Rachel said and did and the things that Pastor Glenn and others say and do in their blogs and emails to others are clear indicators of the bigotry and feeling of superiority they think they hold over others. Im am saddened that after all the attempts at love and peace I have put forward neither Rachel or anyone else will come forward and take the first step so I will take the step of committing my newletter and thoughts about the New Church in as many places as I can.  I have nothing but love for these people but they are just too blind to see it. God Bless ALL
