We have a show-and-tell with Rapid OnSite Wednesday and I have a lot to do beforehand. So I attempted to keep the voicemail short. Well…

There are comments about my friend Cory who rationally engages me in delightful dialog even while we have a fundamental disagreement on who Christ is as he is an LDS member. However, others don’t seem to follow that model.

This can be seen in that I suddenly have several views on videos on YouTube. There have been comments that sound just like some emails I have recently had. The comments are below.

Dorothy-Jane, my lady, can’t you see the difference between silence and love. Is that the model you want our kids to follow? I’m still reaching out to you in love.

You need HELP. Your best chance at ever reconciling with those who very justifiably want nothing to do with you would be to bring yourself recordings to a trained psychotherapist, recognize that this behaviour is sick and make an earnest attempt to get your head right.

Calling your EX like this is harassment. I would be taking legal action against you. Trust me when I say there is nobody out there who is going to percieve this behaviour as anything more than the mental illness it is. You are a very, very sick person.

Reconciliation is a two-way street. It's not something you force on people. It sounds like they don't want to reconcile with you and you need to grow up and accept that instead continuing to be nothing but a source of grief for those you claim to love.

It is interesting that you would use “trained psychotherapist” rather than contend from Scripture. I am a follower of Christ and make my case from Scripture. Some think that is a mental illness, but they also will not rationally engage in dialog.

From Scripture I do NOT have an “EX”, but a wife as the Bible is clear that marriage begins with sex and ends with death.

When considering legal action, I am the one with the case. The state law allows me to communicate with my kids. Denying that is against the law. When Meadowview sent the police to intimidate me, I have no doubt I could take legal action against them. However, as a follower of Christ, noting 1Co6, I will not do so.

The Lord is clear that a dad must point his kids to Christ and obedience to Him. Those that prevent that are hating my kids. I will do what I can to love them.

In cases of emotional and physical abuse, parental rights may be terminated. Performing amateur surgery on a child while their siblings had to listen to their screams would be considered by most reasonable people to be both physical and emotional abuse.

You're using your religion (and a twisted interpretation of your religion, at that) as an excuse to treat people you say you love like garbage. If you truly love them, let them be. THIS IS NOT LOVE!

This is more ad hominem attacks rather than rational dialog. Remember the state law is on my side but then as you know I will not turn to the state. I trust in the Lord, not the state or unicorns.

It is easy to say that I have a twisted interpretation, but it is a whole lot harder to back that up with evidence in a rational dialog.

If it is an offense to pursue reconciliation as an act of love in obedience to Christ, then consider me offensive. But then the Bible does say that those who strive to act in love in obedience to Him will be persecuted. That would be found in 2Tim3:12.
