WHY DO THEY THINK YOU'RE THEIR FRIEND?
By; Gerald A. Polley
A problem I am having at work with a coworker reminded me of
a problem I had years ago with Eddie. It is strange how abusive
people are under the delusion that those they abuse are their
friends and accept their abuse in friendship!
Eddie was this type and I worked with him for two years. At the
very beginning of our relationship I made it very clear that we
weren't friends, and Eddie asked "Why?" and I answered
"Because you're verbally abusive. You get your jollies
deliberately irritating people. You make fun of them and insult
them. If you ever insulted my wife the way you insult Frank and
Howard's wives I'd kill you, or I'd mess you up so bad you'd wish
you'd never been born! You're the kind of person I simply will
have nothing to do with."
Eddie became totally enraged, and for a couple of weeks was right
on the borderline of being violent, especially when the other two
cooks realized what I was saying was true and their wives were
offended by the things he was doing and started to tell him off!
"See what you've done?" Eddie kept screaming.
"You've turned my friends against me! We used to be able to
have fun together, we could joke around! Now you've got them as
messed up as you are! People have a right to have fun!"
"True," I answered, "but they have no right to
abuse." Things quieted down but every time Eddie would say
"Well, everybody knows Gerald and I are friends!" I
would answer "No, we're not, never will be!" and Eddie
would get furious again. One manager who only worked with us for
about four months started taking Eddie's side and saying that I
should talk with his minister who could help me understand male
bonding. The manager was quite displeased when I told him
what he could do with his male bonding!
A couple weeks later that manager got fired for making improper
remarks to a female customer when she came to him with a problem.
Then I got done with that job, didn't go back the next spring. I
heard later that Eddie had had to move out of state. He had had
problems with somebody and criminal charges had been filed, and
Eddie left to avoid prosecution. I muttered "Not
surprised!" when my old coworker told me about it. But as I
say, it fascinates me when abusive people think you're their
friend and don't understand why you won't accept their abuse.
It's a very strange world! And by the way, Eddie never spoke
abusively to his own wife. She weighed nearly 400 pounds and he
only weighed about 200! I saw her have a confrontation with
another woman in the parking lot one day. She simply drove into
her and knocked her on the ground! I often wondered if that's
where Eddie's problem with women came from. He couldn't take his
frustrations out on his own wife so he took them out on everybody
else's. Just a theory!
THE END
You'll find the magazine a little sparse this issue. Gerald is absolutely drained! Just too much coming at once! He wasn't able to find any material for filler articles. We hope we'll have a little bit more time next month and be able to fill in some of the dead space with the cute little things that people like.

Situation Desperate!
Hussein again failed to show up for the battles Wednesday
morning. Apparently The Kingdom Of God's Forces are doing too
much against his operations in Iraq. But The Kingdom Of God is
continuing those operations at a price. The loss of our power
sources because we said HIV causes AIDS has been tremendous. We
have had to cut back on operations throughout The United States,
very important projects have been set on hold, and all energy
that is necessary to sustain the operations in Iraq is being sent
there. Vital operations are being curtailed in Europe and Asia,
anyplace that it is felt that we can divert power from is being
neglected to continue the effort in Iraq. There was a vicious
battle Wednesday night between the demons that support us and
those that oppose us in Washington D.C.. Everybody must've been
completely on edge in that area. We were surprised we didn't hear
reports of riots over something people were so irritable and
angry with each other throughout the area. There is major
instability in France and Germany. But as We said, all effort
must be put into Iraq. We were hoping for a major insurge of
energy with the release of The Book, but thusfar We have only got
some token responses. But when people put a search in Google for
it our free classified does come up. So it is available!
We will no longer be putting out any information on how any of
the videos are doing. Linda has decided she doesn't want to work
on this project any more, so it is something that will have to be
curtailed. Our monthly reports will no longer appear. This
incredible drop in energy is even effecting us here!
The new song John Lennon was trying to get through with different
music also failed, probably because They realized we would be
running into copyright problems and simply wouldn't be able to
use it. That is the real problem! If John does anything that
really sounds like his old work at all, we can't use it, because
that would really give those that oppose us an opportunity to
attack us, and John won't have that. And Kurt Cobain's songs just
aren't liked because he cannot be as expressive as he was in the
material world. We are trying to find ways to continue the
battle. But right now things are not good! They were going
marvelously but because someone believes the insanity that HIV
doesn't cause AIDS The Kingdom Of God's power has been severely
curtailed, and all efforts to increase it have failed. Those who
believe simply aren't responding. In Tuesday's video Jesus
answers the questions "Would you approve of someone paying
for our legal services anonymously?" and "Are those
with schizophrenia and other mental disorders held accountable
for their actions in The Kingdom Of God"? Always interesting
stuff! Here's the links!

Jesus still would like to see lots more visits to "Here's Jesus!" Anybody that directs people to them would be gratefully appreciated. There is marvelous stuff there. Jesus talks about everything! He continues to promise glory forever for those that help us, for those that stand with The Kingdom Of God. Though He understands it is hard for some to oppose the war and homosexuality there are times when people's personal feelings on any subject have to be set aside for the common good. Jesus says "I do not like war either! I would much rather have problems solved in other ways. But sometimes there are those so filled with evil that the only thing they will understand is force greater than their own. And those who murder children must be stopped because negotiating with them is useless. There's no soul left to negotiate with! Sometimes we have to fight and those that fight God's battles are glorified, as long as they do it with God's justice and compassion. It is hard for many to understand this. They are peaceful people themselves, and would not harm others. And they simply cannot understand that there are other people that do not think the way they do. They believe that everybody can be reasoned with. They simply do not understand that there are some that have no reason, that have no souls and will kill and butcher to get what they want, and they must be stopped! Those who are peaceful cannot contemplate such people, cannot believe that they exist, and try to reason with them, and are destroyed. Do not be counted among the destroyed, no matter how good your intentions. God forbids suicide."
