It appears DUmmy greenbriar is laying kind of low. She's just a little worried about having spread all over the internets her family's names, photographs, address, and the names and e-mail addresses of her boss and all her co-workers. I don't blame her. It was an incredibly stupid thing, done by an incredibly stupid person. She's truly in Beth Ferrari's class. Anyway, lacking current lies from Pam, how about a Pam classic? This one is from 2005, the Andyscam era, though he isn't included (with Pam, it's all about Pam). This is also before all her DUmpmates realized that Pam D is a pathological liar, something they only slowly began to realize after she was tombstoned for plagiarizing a really stupid screed by DUmmy Mythsaje.
She makes an imaginary attack on her imaginary church, and ignites a ginormous bonfire. Back in those innocent days, not a single DUmmy realizes it's all a total lie. Also, it seems to me that in 2005 her grammar and spelling were not as atrocious as they are today. Her drug use may not have been as abusive back then.
She got the idea for this bouncy from Jimmuh Carter:

Original message
I walked out of church Sunday and I am not planning on going back
I am a Christian...A Baptist even and I have struggled to maintain my Poise in church.
Sunday we had a guest speaker and he made some comment about after the rapture all the liberal congress will be sitting around wondering what happened and Hillary would lead the charge.
Thats all it took. I sit on the second row and I grabbed my things and my child and walked boldly across the front and out the door!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3911663#3914394Now wait a minute! Holli is what 19 now? So in 2005, she would have been 15 years old? And DUmmy Pam grabbed her and dragged her out of church in front of the congregation due to a political argument? If anything remotely similar happened in real life, it might serve to illustrate why Holli fled Greenbriar Lane at her first opportunity.

4. Good for you....brave thing to do.
Somehow, speeches about "us and them" don't seem to belong in a house of worship.

7. Thats what I told my hubby
he runs video for the church and after church he was kind of pissy at me until I told him
Church is NO place for this kind of shit and I wasn't going to continue to support it.
Then he went home, got drunk, and kicked her ass.

51. Good lesson for your child, too...
One's own principles trump someone else's morals, every time.
Good show!

9. Good FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
You already carry the righteousness in your heart. Your act on Sunday proved it.
That's the kind of antics that should have their tax-exempt status revoked. If I were you, I'd file a complaint with the IRS.
I'm serious.

31. OK, there's no information on the IRS site
But, if you have a local IRS office you can call, I would, and find out if they have a procedure of the kind you're looking for.
I'm not optimistic, but, after all, it IS the government.
In the alternative, I would - and this might be the more effective path to take - contact your local newspaper, requesting anonymity (do that first), and see if they're interested in telling your story.
I would also contact "Countdown" and tell them what you did and why.
It's a GREAT story you've got there.

35. Thanks
Countdown is a great idea
Lots of DUmmies gave greenbriar advice on how to attack her church in the name of the democrat party:

Here's what I'd do.
I'd send an OFFICIAL letter to the pastor, explaing why you left his church, and how improper his speaker was. See if you can find the actual statement on tax-exemption for churches on the IRS website and quote it in your letter. Make it very proper looking, with return information, and add the little cc: information at the bottom.
Included in the cc: information, type in "Internal Revenue Service," and maybe the local Baptist diocese office if you can find it, so he'll know a copy is going to his boss (whoever that is in the Baptist world). It'll scare the living crap out of the guy, and you'll definitely have made your point.

105. good idea
I am going to do that
Polemicist (299 posts) Tue Jun-21-05 08:02 PM
Get your hubby to get a video copy...
Of the speaker making that political statement in the church. Give that also to the IRS. And to the TV station as well.
I just resigned my membership from the Southern Baptist Church last week, having been a member all my life. The denomination has moved away from me politically and is harming Christ's message by mixing it with Man's laws. I don't want my time or money supporting their extremist politics. And it wasn't like that even just 10 or 15 years ago. They have made a hard right turn and it's a great shame.
You made a brave stand in leaving in the middle of the service. I salute you for that stand. I wonder just how many good Christians have left the Baptist Church because of their misguided radical politics?
Here is one of the funniest posts you'll ever find:

10. You know
Maybe you can go back at some point (after you cool) so you can be a lone voice of reason and such.

60. You are AWESOME!
To stand behind your convictions, however uncomfortable, and be able to go home and look proudly in that mirror....
Makes me wonder how many didnt have the guts to do what you did, and secretly wanted to....
You grew a foot and a half in your spirituality!
She was working on DUmp cred. I doubt telling bald-faced lies does much for your spirtuality.
DUmmy kwolfnumbers gives himself away as a liar by equating the Methodist Church with right wing politics:
kwolf68 (1000+ posts) Tue Jun-21-05 02:58 PM
22. Im Methodist
The previous church I attended was full of mostly Conservative people, but good people for the most part. The winner was the Pastor…he was nothing short of brilliant (Duke seminary) and NEVER EVER mixed Politics with Religion, but you could get a sense he wasn’t part of the Pat Robertson brigade.
I had to move (job) so the new church is not near as good. Lots of Bushbots (and I saw no Kerry stickers in the parking lot, my car had a Kerry sticker but never drive the family in it), but the preacher tries to keep things biblical and not political.
Again, even this church full of Repukes still speaks of helping those less fortunate. It does it in a personal sense. I’m all for that…just don’t feed me any right-wing horse shit. The wife is already prepared for the day they roll right-wing politics at me…it aint gonna be pretty.

75. If only there were more like you, greenbriar.
I'm certain that you will find a better place to worship. You have just made the same decision that President Carter made.
I imagine that Jesus walked out with you and your child.
Come on, DUmmy DZ, where do you think she got the idea for this bouncy tale?
greenbriar (1000+ posts) Tue Jun-21-05 05:39 PM
76. What did Carter do?
I hadn't heard about this?
Riiiight, Pam.
David Zephyr (1000+ posts) Tue Jun-21-05 07:01 PM
97. Glad to help out someone as courageous as you.
That must have been pretty hard for you to have done. I admire you for it. I think that there were others in the church --- who are secretly admiring you also.
In any event, Jesus walked out with you and your child.
Remember, this is before the DUmmies realized that Pam is a pathological liar, even by their despicable standard.
Another bouncy:

126. My parents did that when I was four years old.
I was the youngest of five kids. They grabbed us all and walked out, but not before voicing their opinion about the hypocrisy and judgmental behavior of the church. It was quite an awesome scene and I remember it as if it were just yesterday. I was SO proud. Still am.
None of us ever went back.
Who needs it?
