Enablers

My mother-in-law came from a wealthy family in Pittsburg. Her family had a striking home in Pittsburg and  vacation home in Puerto Rico. She attended Finch college in New York City; and was a well known model in NYC. But her father lost 'it' all in the Great Depression.

But all was not lost. She married a successful attorney who in a few years became the general counsel for one of the largest oil company's in the US.

Her demon was alcohol. She was an alcoholic for years, until her death from too much drinking.

Her family took her, against her will, to psyciatrists and she spent a good deal of time in hospital mental wards. Her mental health doctors were unamimous in urging her family not to be what they called "enablers." "Enablers" were members of her family who justified her drinking and told her that her near paranoid attitude was OK.

So my point.. In the blog world there is a man of the cloth who delights in his misery. And his blog is nothing more than an army of enablers. These enablers lavish the man with justification for his battle with the demons of the world. The world is mistreating him, the enablers assure him. THEY THINK THEY ARE HELPING this man. BUT in their efforts they are simply enabling him to continue his unhealthy mental outlook.

This man of the cloth is being urged on by those who assure him he is justified in thinking the 'world' has picked him out for a bad deal. These people say they are helping this man. Apparently they do not see what they are doing.

Amazing "Grace."

Amazing, Amazing!!!!  The blog world's greatest scam artist is at it again. MadPriest has announced that if he can collect 1000 dollars from other blogers he will seek employment!! Yah, that's right. Send me enough money ,he writes, and I might get off my can and seek employment. Of course the money goes to me, he writes, for my personal living expenses, vations, booze etc.

MP even outdoes the worst of the TV 'preachers.' The TV prerachers have some kind of code as to how contribution will be used.

But it should be noted that some of his 'disciples' DO send money.

Sure it's amazing. Oral Roberts said send me money or God will kill me. MP says send me money and I might look for a job. Very strange. But as MP knows there are plenty of suckers out there. From , maybe, a mature (old) lady in the deep south to IT and friends of Jake??? Oh my!!

Flop and freeloader.

There is a flop of a priest in England. This priest can't find a job. No one will hire him. If you check his blog you'll see why. Apparently he has some supporters in the U.S.  Like an old lady in Louisiana who damns any English vestry that recognizes a weirdo when they see one, and thus do not want this clergyman anywhere near their parish.

My own opinion is that he really doesn't want a job. I think he loves his welfare status. Freeloading is his life. Good luck.
