I Identify
I read a Reuters article about Heather Mills McCartney, the estranged wife of former Beatle Paul, who in the middle of a bitter divorce battle with the pop legend, joked about the prospect of flying limbs, as she sets off to compete with a dance troupe.
"If I was worried about critics, then I wouldn't do anything in my life....", she told Reuters in the interview.
She did say that a negative image in the media was damaging her charity work. "It does a lot of damage to the charity, so I don't like to even give the media an ounce of my breath because what are they, they're nothing, people that want to do that," she said.
"Because when they knock me and I'm the patron of the charity ... then the donations can go down and children's lives get affected. But they don't really care about that, unfortunately."
I was just reflecting, that at the time I broke my leg and was laid up in bed in South America, the charity I work with got drawn into some bad press. At the time it was the least of my worries, barely registering on the scale of what I was dealing with. But after, I wondered if it would effect donations and thus the amount of charitable good work possible.
You know what? The same year that we had the bad press, our income was up, with hundreds of new donors to boot. And I'm glad to say, total revenue was again up for 2006, the year following. And having been in existence for our first ten years now, guess the ...
Moral of the story: Don't worry about critics, do what you are called to do.

If any of you have ever been in a hospital for an extended period of time, one of the main things you realize is how pretty damn boring it is. It seems to me that writing his blog is just a pastime if nothing else, for his own amusement, & maybe that of his wife's who as I can gather is not present with him. I highly doubt it was intended for his "following" to read or a secret cult message of any kind, & certainly should not be of interest to any of you. And, do you even know that he is still in the F at all? Cuz yeah, if so, he would've been with someone. Lots of leaders & FGA's have been leaving lately anyway.

Well, regardless of whether he's really going to pay or not, I think I would've preferred to have skipped reading that one. I could be wrong about his but imo, while some of the older posts on this site have been very enlightening, informative & helpful, some of the newer content has regressed somewhat. Lately people have been posting Family members boring little blogs about thier borng little lives or other such articles for the sole purpose of making fun, mostly --except in the case of Grant's blog-- about spelling & grammar.
I guess I'm not being forced to read this site & I know some will tell me this. I guess at first I was grateful to find out some of what really happened. However, after reading about Grant's silly broken leg when someone posted it here for all to read & everyone's comments crying " cult conspiracy theory", I'm beginning to wonder if ironically one day my kids will accuse me of child abuse in the form of neglect for reading MovingOn.org all day long (searching for meaningful content) as they watched Blues Clues for the hundreth time. By the way, I wonder if any parents could help me out with this: How do you find time to read & post without neglecting thier needs? Usually you don't find out you've wasted the whole afternoon until you're at the end of the thread.
PS: No need to mention anything at all about my spelling & grammar. I know it's not great.(reply to this comment) |

Not neglecting their needs comes from putting them first.
Your time is when they are asleep, or making a mess with art projects or clay, playing intently with somethig...There is a small level of benevolent neglect in being a good parent, so they aren't micromanaged and can be creative...just keep one eye, both ears, and your instincts open.
Essentially it does involve going without all the sleep you'd want.

You need to get your priorities straight. Your internet time should under no circumstances interfere with you raising your children in a loving and caring household. The internet is a great tool, source of entertainment and in this case a good source for emotional support, but it should not take way from your time with your kids or their needs. There is a time and place for everything, just make sure your kids aren’t being neglected because you’d rather be online than feeding, clothing, or caring for them.
You think your parents raised you wrong right? Well prove to them you’re a better human being and raise your kids better than they raised you. Learn from your parents mistakes and do your best to pay attention to every detail of your child’s’ life. You’ll always have another chance to get online; you only get one chance to raise your child.

If this is how he describes something as simple as broken bone from a tumble, imagine what it's like to sit through a showing of his vacation pictures!!!
And is the question on everyone’s mind not what the hell was he doing on the roof?! I mean that's where I frequently go when I have a flight to catch. "Let's see, tickets, check, money, check, baggage, check. Just a quick climb up to the roof, and then I'm off to the airport!" WTF?
And who the hell designs a blog to tell the world that they're a clumsy fool in not one but eleven and counting sequentially posted chapters?! Only a cult leader, I suppose. And who the hell is his intended audience? Who in his deluded mind does he think cares to turn in day after day for the next chapter in the sage? Who does this? I suppose it's sheer information deprivation that lead the Zerby zombies to tune in same bat time, same bat channel for more than a week to get the next installment. Grant's fellow goonie Kelly has successfully convinced nearly his whole following that it's dangerous to read any news articles or websites lest they fall prey to the truth, I mean devil's lies, about their existence. So as a result, this foolishness of a blog by the now crowned mother of all narcissists, is catnip for these cultie folks.
It never ceases to amaze me how it is their own words, both in Gary's blog, mydelusion and their spokespediofile Borowitch, that convict them of being the behavior disorder ridden troupe that they truly are. I say we all shut the hell up for say a week, as that is all it may take, and see what they come up with next to amuse themselves and keep the likes of devotions leaders everywhere yammering about pseudo psycho cultie celebrities, their STDs, their tumbles off South American rooftops and their blind as a bat, snaggle toothed ranting about afflictions and deity diddling.
My suspicion is that is this some sort of coded message to his cult following. It’s got to be code for heaven is in the moon, let’s drink Kool-aid and get there quicker! It makes no other sense. It’s the only plausible explanation to this blog bunk because on its face it’s just sheer unadulterated madness. Next up, Grant’s trip to the gas station men’s room. “…as I rounded the corner, I saw a suspicious looking man exit the men’s room and wink at me from behind the door. ‘This proved to be just the foreplay of my trip to the [bathroom].’” He'll call that chapter "Open Compound Fratrigenizing."

"Moments after receiving assurances that they’d be very careful, they bumped my foot right into the door jam, which brought with it a renewed wave of pain and nausea. This proved to be just the *foreplay* of my trip to the clinic."

Touching the void??? Hardly - It was a broken leg for pity's sake! Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Lima huh? Very interesting. does anybody have a conection to the Shinning Path? Simply let them know how much money this guys peers have, and poof! No more Gary. Also, if Gary is there, who else is?
Let me guess, in his case it's an attack of the devil, and not the sin of pride or some other bull. I wonder what would happen if Zerby and co. were to be put on silence restriction. What a riot.

Gary you should have called the Embassy and told them you are the former prime minister of a group responsible for over 20 years of crimes against children and that you and most of your friends have directly sexually abused children. They would have sent someone out to help a great guy like you in no time.

Well Grant, if you had been following the two by two rule, someone would have been there to help you. I think you must be thoroughly disciplined for this infraction!
So let me see here. We have Queen Peters STD's, The Zerbs blindness and Grants clumsiness. Sounds like they're all trying to compete for sympathy fucks or something!? Oh, boo fucking hooo!
The way he described this little ordeal of his, he must think he's the only person in the world to break a fucking leg. You didn't feel like fainting because of the injury Grant, you felt like fainting because you get quizzy at the site of blood... you pussy!
Next up: The traumatic first hand account of Gary's paper cut, and how it almost cost him his life!!

Call me an asshole if you must, but this (...) is the sound of the world's smallest violin playing My Heart Pumps Purple Panther Piss For You, Grant.
Next time use your head when breaking your fall off a roof, mmkay? It's not like you're using it for anything useful anyway. Heck, part of me wonders if you'll even miss it, oft buried as it is up Queen Peter's goatse'd ass.
Ah sweet schadenfreude, how I love thee.
