Dumb and so-dumb-it's-amazing

Like everyone else, I am constantly amazed by the resourcefulness and overall tenacity of everyday people.  Every now and then, you'll hear a story of someone reaching higher then thought possible.

Today I saw something so damn stupid, I can't believe it actually happened.

I was perusing the LIVE 365 site and found the Academy for Psychic Studies official internet radio site was playing a certain recording of a certain "psychic church service".

It was the infamous service where the psychic bishop of this psychic church not only admonished her followers to brush off any and all persons who might have philosophical or other differences with the Academy for Psychic Studies she also represents that utterly demented group as "the picture, the icon of.... Jesus Effing Christ".  All that took place in July of 2008.

I have the excerpts on this page but if you'd like to see for your self that the July 2008 church service is indeed back online, you'll have to go to the live365.com site and search for "Spirit Talk" to find it.  Don't ask why I can't put up a link but I will say it has something to do with the Witches of Ellsworth Street not wanting me to tell any of you what information about them is to be found online.

That particular psychotic church service is the watershed moment for many now-ex-members.  The message in this recording is clearly aimed at tightening the cult's grip on the few remaining followers and further insulate them from information that would allow them to awaken from their forced slumber.

The actual effect was the exact opposite of the intent - a condition that only the psychotics at the Academy for Psychic Studies could have created for themselves.  More followers departed after that strange and mean-spirited sermon.  More attention from the outside was focused on the psychotic church.  And more who would have come for the first time and stayed for a while never even made it to the front door.

Now some of you would think the posting of the July 2008 psychotic church service was done as a way to bait we dissidents and commenter's to make statements the Witches can pounce upon.  That's actually a valid observation but one that I have little belief is the actual intent.  You see, that kind of intent requires planning, good execution and the kind of complex and structured thought the Witches of Ellsworth Street and their addled followers just can't engage.  There is no damn way the brain-dead followers could concoct that scheme nor could the Witches have torn themselves away from their obsession of squeezing every available follower for spare change and other items of value to have dreamed up something that complicated.
