Why Did Linda Buy The Pregnancy Test Kit?, Spin off from the “Thompson Respond to Abrahamsen” thread. Options

[watchbird]

Now how did we get from pregnancy test to enemas?

Wasn't it inevitable? Gotta clean out this mess somehow!



Worship leaders take your places....

You are correct, and I too have appreciated the "humor breaks" that came now and then. What set me off on this particular thing was not the humor--we had had that in what we had already been discussing--but the idea of a "poll", with it's implications (though I'm sure that wasn't really what Calvin intended), that things of right and wrong could be decided by "vote".

And while I'm in "true confession mode" I might as well go on to confess I was pretty teed off (especially in view of the fact that speculation had been set "out of bounds" for posting) to see that in this "poll" the "speculation" that was errant, and was admitted to be so by the original poster, was treated on the same level as the reporting and analysing that others were doing.

And then there was the basic facts of how this act had been twisted into an assasination weapon and used repeatedly on Linda by one entity or another for the last two years. That's a heck of a lot of punishment for an unwise choice of "practical joke" playing. It just suddenly all got to me--that's all. It has been anything but a "slow day" here.

But it's OK. I've had my little blowup.

I'm all back together now.





Carry on.

Even though I have written my opinion of this subject and was wrong, I do think that Walt Thompson has scrapped the bottom of the barrel of decency when he spread this story at all. To do this just to make a point was a disgrace to the Medical profession as a whole. This whole story now should be thrown into the 'personal' file and we should find something to talk about that would be of more benefit to any stranger who might come to this website looking for the truth.

I can honestly say from my heart of hearts that I have never joked about this whole 3ABN, Danny/Linda saga. Nothing about it is funny. If I want to lighten the mood I find something else to laugh about.

I have been the victim of spiritual abuse--over and over again and if anyone was making jokes or making light of my circumstances that would hurt me deeply. Knowing that, I treat others how I would want to be treated. If I were Linda and I came here and read that poll--as well as some of the other 'jokes' interspersed throughout these threads, I would be hurt. You can call me too sensitive or whatever, but that's how I feel in my heart of hearts.

Okay...then September - I'm gonna be blunt.

You are not human. Everyone in the world has laughed at something inappropriate - then maybe later looked back and been like...."OOOoooo"

You haven't heard something during this 3ABN thing and even gave a little giggle?

Like the fact that Danny was using the 3ABN apartment/sleeping quarters like a "HO-tel"?



Wow.....

Since this board should remain so "serious" about even 3ABN - then I say from now on there should be no "tongue in cheek" no "innuendos" no "puns" no "double talk" no "left off ideas...." nothing but strict factual information from here to eternity. Also - since you can say in your heart of hearts that you never have joked at all about this 3 ABN saga - that although it is "not funny" it is hilarious in a way then maybe this board is not for you.

Humans laugh when things are tense to relax.
Humans laugh when things are deep to calm down.
Humans have jokes at funerals (the epitome of sadness) to lighten the mood.

....but we are to act different here.

I learn something new everyday.
BTW: you are speaking to a victim of sexual assault who can even find something funny in the whole mess of my mess....

BSDA is first and foremost a discussion board. We are not here to present the truth or a one sided anything. BSDA is not the Linda Shelton love center. Everyone must read for themselves and determine what truth is. All viewpoints are welcome.

I am not the least bit concerned about my/BSDA creditability. Our creditability lies in the fact that we offer frank open discussion for all to view on any issue surrounding the Adventist church.

Yall put this stupid thing Linda did out here. Now we suppose to walk on egg shells… and the explanations I am reading for the pregnancy test kit are ridiculous. But hey, that is just my opinion. This poll points out some of the contradictory viewpoints and the craziness of the whole 3ABN saga.

Oh yeah, we have plenty of fun here. I make no apologies.

....and if anyone doesn't see that the entire 3ABN Saga is not only sad, but ridiculous, and slightly twisted - then you are only looking for what you want to see. Some of the stuff that has been put out there would be "laughed at and funny" if it was in a movie - what makes it not "laughable" here....

Oh yeah....it's "close to home"..... the "acts" themselves may not be funny...but the explanations that are being given are hilarious and quite certifiable IMPO - (in my "professional opinion").

Even though I have written my opinion of this subject and was wrong, I do think that Walt Thompson has scrapped the bottom of the barrel of decency when he spread this story at all.

He put it out there..... so sadly it will be used.

Now.

What makes this poll so bad...because it's crass...because it is not "humorous"....

How about it's bad because it's actual reasons that folks have said?

How about it's more truth than some folks want to see within the entire "Days of 3ABN" Saga?

Oh...that's right...I keep forgetting......
The "truth", no jokes, no light-heartedness, no smiles, stay stiff, never laugh, die.

Sorry.

Well....... what else could Walt do? When the "spiritual adultery" charge was shown to be a mess of hokum so he had to drop that, and all he had to cling to was Danny's affirmation that he had "proof", and that "proof" turned out to be a receipt for an unused pg test......what else could he do but to pass along the "Word of of the Lord as spoken through the mouth of Dan" (See Genesis 49:17) to the inquirers who came looking for information?

The problem with throwing the whole story into the "personal" file is that since this is "Exhibit A" as presented by the "prosecution", it must, therefore, be kept on display by the "defense"........ (along with the records of its cross examinations, psychological analyses by teams of "expert witnesses", "popular opinion" polls, and audience reactions).

But as far as this being the "bottom of the barrel of decency".....don't get your hopes up that high. Remember that iceberg that Sister told us about? Not enough of the "tip of the iceberg" has been chipped away yet for us to be able to see the part still hidden below the surface. Or to put it back into the "metaphor of the day"........the "bottom of the barrel" has not yet been reached.

Stay tuned ...

I can see plainly you have picked up someone else's script! This ain't you .... c'mon on now. Get back in character .... however will us old fuddie-duddies pick up our "laugh now" clues if you aren't giving us our cues?

....and if anyone doesn't see that the entire 3ABN Saga is not only sad, but ridiculous, and slightly twisted - then you are only looking for what you want to see.

You got it right there. Made into a movie or TV serial it could make someone millions. But admit it, it's easier to laugh in a movie cause you know it's only pretend, and you know the actors will get up and go home to their respective domiciles at the end of the day.... even if lying in their coffins on the set. It's this living in "the middle of the book" where "the truth is stranger than fiction" that wears us down after a while.

Oh yeah....it's "close to home"..... the "acts" themselves may not be funny...but the explanations that are being given are hilarious and quite certifiable IMPO - (in my "professional opinion").

Good points, but frankly, you are much more believable in your "clown" role..... but .... gotta admit ... you put on a pretty good act here too. Take a bow or two.

Well, what about the Sheltie. Neighbor dogs are such scoundrals, for sure! It could have been for the dog!

We all know how they eat the homework! Sounds logical to me.

[calvin]

Now, no one has mentioned this, but with the Shelton’s having a jet plane and stable of horses, I am sure they had a butler. Everyone knows the butler did it.

Even the clown is "serious" when the makeup is removed....

Everyone - back to your serious side. After all - this 3ABN stuff is serious. There is nothing laughable about it at all....

Where I'm sure that Linda has cried - I bet she has laughed at some of this stuff because it is so stupid.... - but of course....

The WERLD SHOULD BE STRAIGHTFACED!



Is this better?

[summertime]

, maybe I am wrong--where is my sense of humor? I guess that I just don't want anymore innocent people hurt--And those long hosed enemas did hurt---In my early days if you got a cold, you got an enema. "ALways start from the bottom up," was the creed of the day. Today they have a fancy name--colon cleansing, and probably that is good. Maybe Danny could try it for perfecting the ridiculous. (I think that I had better go to bed)---or maybe the butler did do it. I am waiting to see more of the tip of the iceberg.---Might not be so funny.

No butlers in "self-sacrificing" self-supporting "ministries". It's the lower eschelons of "worker bees" that do the work for the "top layers" ... even stuff like building a barn for the owner's horses, for example. Don't know about grooming them and cleaning out the stables. Maybe someone who actually worked there can fill us in on these details. Also don't know what other "personal services" those "workers" were called upon to fill....those details are buried down in the "iceberg" somewhere.....

If the butler was black, the blame's definitely getting put in their lap.

Even the clown is "serious" when the makeup is removed....

And even while still wearing it. I still recall my Daddy quoting poetry to me when I was but a child. One of his favorites began ...

"The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.....

Everyone - back to your serious side. After all - this 3ABN stuff is serious. There is nothing laughable about it at all....

Where I'm sure that Linda has cried - I bet she has laughed at some of this stuff because it is so stupid.... - but of course....

Oh hey, you're good in any role. but you are still better when you are showing the seriousness of it all through your "jester" makeup. (That dialogue in another thread was absolutely priceless. Actually, it was good enough to set a price on it.... if you could just find a buyer.....
