1) You have been excommunicated from the church for sexual sins that you refuse to repent of….and LMA was “excommunicated” for “sexual sins” when she was 14 years old — and evidently after her “sins” (e.g., having been date-raped by a boyfriend)….

How very, very Muslim of them.

2) As I was reading 1977 letter, I was getting aJim Jones vibe off of it [please excuse the phrasing: I came of age in the 1970's and some groovy terms still linger].

I would be honored and humbled to let her on my show to discuss this. Please pass it on to her, McCain.

That’s okay. One of the Open Door elders/ministers watched the Guyana debacle reported on TV and was shell-shocked. I read about it as a young quasi-athiest on the bus, reading Newsweek on the way to high school, thinking “there but for the grace . . . now, now.”

Reading that, I had an overwhelming response of, “Those Hymerses really need to get over themselves.”

Which, when you think about it, cult leaders tend to be prominent among those with a “get-over-yourself” deficiency.

“You cannot go to any other church and be absolved, for, even if they accept you, God will not.”

So who handed YOU the keys of Saint Peter?

“…Trying to silence critics — isn’t that what cults do?”

Forgive the political spin, but isn’t that just what Barry’s been doing?

Coincidence? I think not.

Fundamentalist fringe churches are very annoying. They pretend to have all the answers and to speak for God. They are “devoutly to be ignored,” to use an old phrase.

I would also wager that some of these lost 60′s hippies have taken up residence in the White House.

I don’t know to what degree the forced sex act was discussed by the entire congregation. I do know that because of it I was not allowed to speak in tongues during a church service, when previously I had been allowed to do so. When I started, Bob Hymers led a loud hymn to drown me out, and then he announced that he would not allow people guilty of sexual sin to speak in tongues.

So it was quite a public rebuke for something that I was not responsible for: the man was six feet tall, and as you know I’m quite a tiny person.

But everyone acted like I was responsible for it, and so I took that guilt on myself. It took me another month to break up with the guy, and an additional 2-3 months to leave that “church.”

The proof that this jerk is looney tunes is in the fact that he actually believes that the FBI is going to take his side! Chuckles and Chuckles Jr. are probably already on a half-dozen FBI “domestic extremist” watch lists – I’m sure they’re chomping at the bit to get both of them in a tiny, brightly lit room in an undisclosed location for some vigorous “questioning” without any lawyers present. If I was either of them, I’d try hard to attract less attention from the FBI.

I’m sure they’re chomping at the bit to get both of them in a tiny, brightly lit room in an undisclosed location for some vigorous “questioning” without any lawyers present.

If so, the “report” would make an excellent pretext for it.

FBI Special Agent: “Dr. Hymers, we’ve received your son’s report of Miss Attila’s stalking and bullying behavior and are most interested in investigating this matter fully. However we will require more detailed information. We would like to meet with you and your son together at our local field office at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. Please note that because it is a federal building we will require that all cell phones and other metallic objects be surrendered at the entrance. See you soon.”

I couldn’t resist joining in on this curious case of misguided numbskull wackiness on the part of Robert Leslie Hymers, III.

By the way, J Edgar is cracking me up! The last thing this odd ball ought to be doing right now is raising the FBI’s awareness of him. Keep sending them letters as awful as the one shared with us and they will be the ones showing up with guns – at his house!
