Oh Lord. I’m not quite sure how to handle the guilt. Will I need therapy? Drugs? Electric shock treatments?
I considered going to confession. But as a lapsed Catholic I didn’t want to risk it.
You can’t be too careful
What will happen to me? To my family? How will my husband, my son, my brothers, live with the shame of being family members of one such as me.
And what if I go to jail? I’ve never been, but I’ve watched enough prison movies to know I wouldn’t do well there. I won’t last long at all. The other cons will hate me and make sure I pay dearly.
But it’s not my fault. I didn’t know. If I had, I know I’d have lived my life differently.
You see today I learned that I am a serial killer. You’d think I might have noticed before now, wouldn’t you? That I’d be scurrying around, digging holes in the basement floor or the back yard. That I would be having all sorts of bonfires. That at a minimum I would have purchased a wood-chipper to dispose of the evidence.
Nope. It wasn’t necessary.
You see, I have been carrying the bodies around with me for decades. No wonder I’m tired all the time.
I know you didn’t listen to the video. But you should have. Because then you’d know that because I have used birth control pills – contraceptives – Pastor Kevin Swanson thinks I am a serial murderer with a uterus filled with dead fetuses.
Ewwwww. Got any Massengil?
Make mine a double!

Well maybe they will put us all in the same jail. I wonder if they need evidence because I had my uterus removed. It must of been all those dead fetus rolled up into a fibrous the size of a grapefruit. He’s a dick. I take a medication that cost over $3000.00 a month. In 2011 medicare didn’t cover it. This medication allowed me to get off oxygen. They started testing it for erectile dysfunction. In 2012 medicare now covers it there is no generic. SMH

More and more people are fleeing the Christian (Conservative) churches because of Neanderthals like him and if they are like me, they won’t be going back until the leaders start walking the talk and come to their senses (the progressive Evangelicals are much more together and embrace science, so their is hope). Trust me, more and more of us are coming forward and saying: “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to put up with this stupidity, hatred, bigotry, and mental illness anymore.
