This is the fun question that was asked of me at a humanities final. What interests me about it within the context of this website is: Does the abuser/controller know who he/she is? From here on I will use “he” to indicate the abuser/controller because, unfortunately, most abusers are male.

After having reviewed the book, Domestic Violence: What Every Pastor Needs to Know, on a previous blog entry, I would like to add my own account of how pastors dealt with me when I tried to get help as a victim of domestic violence.
At the time I was going to two churches. I attended the [...]
It seems to me like Obama and his cohorts are using Diaprax (another word for Hegelian Dialectic) to change the inner machinery of America. If you remember from a previous blog, diaprax is a method of ideologically leading someone where you want them to go using small steps to convince them. If they would know [...]

- The pandemic of 1918 killed 20 million [...]
I found this out at the end of 2007 but lost the instructions. I had to redo the procedure or a current Power Point presentation that I am preparing. Since I rewrote the instructions for some fellow students I thought I might paste them in here. It works!

Since I consider scams just as bad as flaming and the like, I’ll include scam letters sent to me - and probably sent to a lot of others as well. If you have a ministry site or something similar, like mine, don’t fall for this kind of junk. Goodness, sending this stuff to someone who [...]
