fourth thursday of easter

i went out to walk the line early-ish in the day in order to mesh with some errands i had to run, and it was mostly uneventful.

there was a bingo, and i got to talk a while with a woman who sees me "here every day" and wanted to talk. i keep forgetting to post the screencap of how people are finding the blog this week, so here it is:

the blog is now over 1800 views, and i was photographed twice yesterday and once today.

what i'm saying here is that whether or not people are happy with my methods, the methods are very successful and meeting my goal, which is to rebrand the church image so that what people both in and out of the church think of when they think of the williston federated church is that protest.

for my purposes, it matters not one little bit whether people approve or disapprove as long as i can make the association stick.

that is the price i have chosen to claim for my humiliation and expulsion. if you expel me so that you don;t have to think about it, you never again have the luxury of not thinking about it.

and while it's true that the church will say i am not technically expelled, what i have here is a letter from the church stating that i'm still a member, but that i'm not allowed to set foot on church property.

you can call it not expelled if you like, but it's too fine a point and it's the kind of false fine point churches make while they hold the damnation of your soul over you for control of your behavior and of your money.
