Five More Reasons Why Wicca and the WCC Are Retarded

I was explaining my anti-Wiccan position to a Wiccan this weekend without going into great detail because I didn’t want to offend him as I had to hang around with him for a few hours. I did say that I couldn’t fucking stand the Wiccan Church of Canada for the following reasons:

1. Tamarra James
This woman is such a self-indulgent fame whore it isn’t funny. She puts on this great show of caring for “her children”, which is basically the entire WCC community, but when push comes to shove, such as a spouse being in the hospital for cancer treatment or any other “downer” situations, she’s nowhere to be found. She also cultivates a group of psychophants  that dote on her every word, bringing to mind most cult leaders. She also wants to basically make most of the covens in Southern Ontario “offshoots” of the WCC, which has led to a lot of problems like mine in the area.

2. They Are a Church For Tax Purposes, Not any Other
Most people want to start churches to help people; not the WCC. They claim that they want the right to marry and bury just like any other religion, but this is a fairly thin argument given that you don’t need a license to officiate at a funeral, and pagans have gotten marriage licenses through non-denominational organizations. Nope, they basically just want a tax break. Which is why they should never get status. Ever. Where’s the soup kitchen? The helping hands organization to get pagans jobs <snicker>? Exactly.

3. They are a Public Organization Representing a Mystery Religion
So, Gerald Gardner wrote this book. In this book, there are about 4-5 pages devoted to exactly what will happen to you if you tell people you’re a Witch (they’re mostly medieval-sounding crap, but that is another rant). Gerald Gardner was the founder of the religion and pretty much anything he says can be taken as loose dogma. So, you aren’t supposed to tell people you are a fucking witch. Much less prance around in a public temple, basically screaming “I’m a Witch!” to all and sundry.

4. The People They Attract Are Scary At Best
I have known more than one “decent” couple or person who has gone to a WCC ritual and has been scared off due to the fact that they have more crazy people than a Republican National Convention. The sad part is that BTW (British Traditional Witchcraft) types laugh at the WCC and tell these decent folks that they are “nothing like” them, when the facts are that they are usually worse. At least in public settings you can’t rape or rob people in the cold light of day. I’ve never been raped, but a close friend of mine was (yes, here in Ontario, not in the US or anywhere else) and I’ve certainly been robbed on a level that I still can’t believe that I let happen.

5. They’re Basically a Live-Action D&D Game
Gossip, slander, and backstabbing are constantly afoot at your average WCC gathering, all to attain this mythical “status” thing in the community. There is no actual reward for attaining this “status”, except for maybe crowning yourself the king of fools. This doesn’t stop people from claiming psychic attacks and all sorts of hooey that belongs behind the doors of a mental institution, not in any kind of public organization.

That’s all I’ve got for today; stay tuned for more.

Pig Joke

A guy walks into his house with a sheep under his arm and says “I’d like to show you the pig I’m fucking.” To which his wife answers “That’s not a pig.” And he says “I wasn’t talking to you.”

What To Do When A Loved One Is Dating a Con Artist

If you read my blog, you know that we lost Doug’s Dad to a massive, unexpected heart attack last August. Well, it seems like we’ve lost his mother to a con artist as of a few months ago. I am very saddened by this and don’t want to see her savings drained, but I have a very bad feeling that either she will be supporting this guy for the rest of her life or he will just marry her, divorce and take half her assets.

While I know that some of her assets are protected, most of her major assets have minimal protections that he could easily convince her to override. He has succeeded in moving into her house and treating the property like it is his own, as I guess it will be soon anyway.

He is a liar. He lied and told the family that he published a magazine, when he is listed on the magazine as one of two ad sales reps and I found a video on YouTube with the real publisher talking about his magazine. He claims he was a cop; I don’t imagine we’ll find out where or when since he now knows we are checking him out. I do know he was never a cop in Peel Region, where he was just living.

He also is getting her to lie for him; she claimed that he was paying for a trip to Vegas, when a timeshare company was really paying for their flight and she paid for the hotel on her credit card. While they were there, she called my sister-in-law complaining that he was “too cheap to take a cab” and complained to the rest of the family that she “couldn’t get him out of the casino”. To top the shit sundae, they apparently went half and half on a timeshare, although I believe she probably paid for the whole thing herself. I don’t need to tell you how bad of an investment a timeshare is, although if you don’t know I suggest the site ripoffreport.com and a search for “timeshare”. The only good timeshares are for very wealthy people only and are sold directly by hotel chains such as Hilton or Fairmont. Also, the timeshare trip was his idea. She just wanted to go to Vegas initially.

She is not talking to us because she knows that we do not accept this new man and the way that he is twisting her head around. Doug thinks she deserves whatever she gets at this point because of the way she is acting, but I can’t sit by and watch another woman be taken advantage of. The problem is, in Canada, there isn’t a lot you can legally do.

I can pay a private detective $1000.00 for a complete background check, but I imagine he’ll just come up with lies to explain away anything we find out. Also, there is no way to look up his criminal record legally. How does my sister-in-law know that he can be left alone with her daughter? Considering the lies that he has told, and they way they are both acting, she’s not about to introduce him to her. In addition, Doug’s mom has bought a pool and told her grandaughter about it, in an attempt to make her beg her Mom to meet her new “special friend”. This smacks of a pedophile luring a child, if you ask me.

The only thing we can do is sit by and watch while this guy tears our family apart and decimates her life savings. It makes me sick, but there it is. In the end, she is an adult, and there is nothing we can do. I just hope that someday she reads this and realizes that we do love her and are trying to help, not to hurt.

She is a beautiful woman and could easily get any man she wanted. This guy is not only a complete /fail in the looks department, he is actively trying to drive a wedge between her and her family. In addition, he can’t make a heck of a lot of money as an ad sales rep for a tiny real estate magazine, although he claims that he owns “shares in the company”.  Yeah - when I got a bonus from my old company, that was called “profit sharing” too. What a bunch of bull.

He has no interest in forging a relationship with us because he knows that we are on to him. When Doug was over at his Mom’s house visiting his uncle, who lives in an apartment in the back, he got home and went over to start talking to the neighbour rather than talking to Doug. He was also discussing marriage when they met in March/April, when her husband was barely in the ground.

All I can comfort myself with is that there is a special place in hell for men who use women this way. While I don’t believe in God, I do believe that we all have to account for our actions in some way, at some point. This guy will have a lot to answer for.

I do wish that we had more access to criminal records in Canada, in particular records on pedophiles. Someone is either a pedophile or they aren’t, so making that information accessible to potential family members shouldn’t be a completely off-base thing. It would also be nice to know if this guy had a fraud conviction or gambling debts of any kind, although I can see why this information is off limits.

Revisiting Hate Groups and Violence After Today’s Shooting

Today’s shooting at the Holocaust Museum in DC literally shoots a giant hole in the theory that hate groups in North America are simply passive sites run by old men who can’t harm anyone. Is it time for the authorities to round up similar hate groups on terrorism charges if they have made repeated violent threats against minorities on native soil?

I won’t bother linking to Von Brunn’s website because it is so full of hate and violence, and I expect that it will be taken down shortly. While I’m all for free speech, men and women like von Brunn hide behind it in order to organize their followers and make threats against minorities. They should be arrested and put behind bars before they can encourage further violence.

It is my sincere hope that the authorities take a dimmer and more serious view of hate groups in the future and get rid of these cancers from our society.
