Kenny's first conversation was with a priest.
If the people in my congregation were without sin, there would be no need for them to come to church
"You'd be out of a job then, wouldn't you? So it is in your best interests to make them believe they are sinful."
"But they are sinful! They cheat on their taxes, hide leftover prescription drugs under their mattresses, and go to domestic terrorism sites online regularly."
"Those are not sins, those are laws and regulations. Different."
"To not pay taxes is theft, to hide prescription drugs is to covet, and to visit terrorism sites is to murder."
"That's insane young man. You make up sins to enslave me to your ideology. I will not comply."
"Archibald was a great friend. Archibald believed all this rot of yours. You and your sins made him question his value as a human being; he left us by his own hand because of your made up sins. He couldn't bear being a sinful man another moment. You killed him. That makes you a murderer, a domestic terrorist not recognized by the government as such."
Kenny's next conversation was with a doctor.
"If everyone were healthy, they would have no need of doctors, and you'd be out of a job. It is in your best interests to make your patients sick, not well. The best way to make them sick is to inject them with toxins, bypassing the body's natural defenses against toxins. Have you ever actually cured anyone?"
"We cure cancer all the time! Just ask Heather out there in the waiting room. She's the one all shriveled up, in the wheelchair, with an oxygen tank and IV tubes."
Kenny's third conversation was with an FDA inspector.
"A half-empty bottle of ketchup in your pantry has expired. You have broken the law by not throwing it away by the expiration date, thereby endangering others. You are under arrest, and this government mandated gun (we can conceal carry them, but you can't) in my holster says you have no choice in the matter. Come along with me. Are you up to date on your vaccines? That will determine where I take you. Have you had flu, DTap, pneumococcal, covid #9, monkeypox #6, polio #4, measles #3, shingles #2, HPV #2, and rabies recently? If not, you'll go to the infirmary first for all those before I can send you into the company of others. Show me your vaccination report on your phone."
I don't have a cell phone.

So, I'm not born inherently bad at the moment of birth? I have the free will in any given moment to make morale decisions based on my own freedom of thought and am not bound by fear of the future because an unseen loving force who is going to punish me for an eternity of hellfire if I step out of line?
Far out!
🤗
You already knew that, I know you did. No fear my friend. You are pure love itself
Futuremind! Oh my, I've been away a long, long time!
We need to keep sinners sinning and sick people sick, and we can't have the flat tax or accountants would be out of a job....
Love this:
Love this line: "We cure cancer all the time! Just ask Heather out there in the waiting room. She's the one all shriveled up, in the wheelchair, with an oxygen tank and IV tubes."
I saw you sent me this message on September 11th, what a date lol..
I'm so sorry it took a long time to respond. I actually ended up in the hospital myself, for some psychological issues I was going through, right around the time you messaged me.Hi @carolkean!
Indeed, it's very profitable to maintain the illusion that big pharma wants to help...
When I was being discharged from the looney bin, they told me something along the lines of "We know you probably won't take these pills, but it makes the discharge process easier, so do you agree?"
Yes! Gimme those pills! 😂
I hope you have been doing well 🤗
Yes, take the pills - (pretend to swallow them?) and run!
I'm sorry for all your trials and tribulations.
Mine continue to escalate but I've firmly resolved to ==Not Even Speak of It==
I'm not gonna be that drama queen with all the tragedy.
The sun is shining today.
Life is good.
May your days be sunny and grand!
I somehow managed my way out of that without having to take any pills, they just gave me a script and sent me on my way.
Really sorry to hear things haven't been good for you.
I can relate to that sentiment totally, doesn't seem to do any good either way expressing our issues. Sometimes it helps a little but not so much in the physical world, where the majority of our problems manifest, or maybe it's in our head. I don't know.
I tried to have a girlfriend and ended up in a psych ward lol.
I could point the finger, but I'm sure there's a few pointing back at me.
It's nice to see you again.I hope things get better for you @carolkean,
Oops, 8 days later, I see this. #Thankyou for your kind thoughts. And may all be well with you!
Ha! Your writing always blows me away.
I put the ketchup back in the pantry while I had covid. Send in hazmat to take it out. Lots of love, lady. You are the best!!
Denise!
You got the rona? I didn't eat a thing for days, just like the flu. Lived to tell the tale. You?
Thanks for coming by. Always a pleasure!
Nooo. I was playing with your words! Thank for caring!! XO
I thought I'd pop by for a visit. So glad I did.
It's lovely to be reminded about the freewrite community. It's been a while.
I had a quick peek at the prompts and loved what you did with them. 💛
Loved this one! And glad to see you back posting again. I've been way too busy, and more recently too sick, to think much about writing myself, but now that I am, there's too much I haven't written about for so long that I can't decide what topic(s) to start with, after making my first post in months last week... Anyway, if you're not on discord much these days, I dropped you a message on there earlier today, and would love to chat further one there. Hope you're doing well, take care, and hope to see more of your posts in the coming days.
Hey! I think of you now and then. Nice to hear from you. I'll get myself over to discord soon.
