Dear Archbishop Welby,

I am sorry to see that you have come back from pneumonia straight into church propaganda in the press with a vengeance. I can only assume it is because the church has had so many negative mentions regarding abuse while you had a very quick bout of pneumonia.

I think yet again, you are a leading light in hypocracy, as you show off at slamming the government to try and make the church popular.

Whoever writes your propaganda scripts really needs to be replaced.

It is hilarious that you think a narrow, abusive club for the rich that excludes and abuses the poor can slam the government over the poor.

You and your church, in being there, in government as you are, in abusing your power, in upholding the divide between the rich and the poor, in wiping your feet on the poor as you do, in having apartheide policies against the poor, you are upholding the abuse of the poor, you and your church and your billion pounds of church properties held by church commissioners.

When you sell the billions of pounds, and when you right the injustices you cause, such as the Jersey matter, which has had no resolution for the abuse survivor who you oversaw national and local press vilifcation of, rather than bringing justice, and when you recompense Kendal House victims and their families, then you will have more credibility, and indeed will be right in God's eyes, as you are not now as you show of in such hypocracy.

Slamming the government for doing exactly as you do, when you could be spending that time putting the Jersey injustice right? When does your hypocracy end?

Please stop showing off and spreading propaganda, the only response you get in the comments section of the papers and social media is that you are a hypocrite.

And as for setting your lawyers on me over a clergy discipline measure? Thousands of pounds wasted, money which, if you were Christians and going by the Bible, you would be using to feed the poor, not oppressing one person who lives in abject poverty since you destroyed her career and life.

I think I should write a book about your propaganda and how it makes you into a hypocrite, in the meantime why has the clergy discipline measure not been upheld as you continue to mislead the sheeple and annoy people who know better than to believe you.

someone shut the archbishop up, please, he told the press he doesn't believe in God, he maligned his father publicly, he is an embarrassment to the church, a real burden, who is happily losing them numbers by his incessant contradictions.

Uphold my clergy discimpline measure against him, get him to be quiet so abuse victims don't have to suffer him or spin-Doctor Butler any more.

sincerely,

Thank You Daily Fail, for not upholding the Propaganda and Flannel of the church Any More!

A short letter to the Bishop of Durham on his continued nonsense in the House of Lords

14/01.2015

Butler,

Some idiot, because it has to be an idiot to take in your flannel and lies to protect the church and make it look good, has been trying to force your flannel and spin on me this morning.

As long as Jane Fisher remains in power at Winchester, and as long as you do nothing either about the whitewashes and conflicted reports and as long as you do nothing about Kendal House, you are a sham, a liar and a spin doctor, nothing else, and every time you abuse your power and mislead people, you are re-abusing victims, be quiet, or preferably stop being a sham safeguarding authority, because while you have been in a safeguarding position I have been relentlessly destroyed and had no voice and the church have continued where they left off destroying me in 2011, and I am shattered.

I made a clergy discipline complaint against you because why should the National CSA inquiry end up led by another CofE stooge so that the CofE are never called to account for their institutional abuse? And why should I go on suffering because the CofE have acted illegally.

Until you address these issues, you need to stop abusing your power in the House of Lords and the press, and you should be ashamed of yourself before God and repent.

For goodness sake, how long do we have to endure you? Former Bishop of Southampton protecting an abusive safeguarding officer? Do I have to go back to court to stop you re-abusing victims through misleading press articles and abuse of power in the house of Lords? 

The church's pretence of care and responsibility at the expense of victims, use of victims for PR and self-glorification, is beyond the pale.

Stop wasting time glorifying a corrupt, abusive church that is there for the rich and powerful to console themselves that they are forgiven of their abuses, start doing something about the horrific injustice at Winchester and Kendal House, remove your friend Jane Fisher after her many illegal and seriously harmful actions, which are so glaring that even the Korris report highlights some, and she influenced that to protect herself.

Do something for the victims, who are suffering and do not need a fat man in a purple shirt using them in vainglorious boasts.

The CSA inquiry needs to be independent of the Church of England, not hijacked by it, you have managed to elect two Church of England leaders of that inquiry and both have been dishonest about their links that make them conflicted, much as Steel and Bailhache and others have been in the Jersey inquiry. So, for an honest and fair inquiry, the Church of England and their 'dignitaries' such as Butler-Sloss and Woolf, should be well out of the way, as should you. Please stop using the inquiry to glorify yourself and your corrupt and hugely powerful church, which exists for the rich and powerful to protect themselves.

Jesus wasn't up in government, showing off and abusing power, the Pharisees were. And for some reason the Church of ENgland fails to notice that they are not a Christian orgnaization, they are the modern day pharisees, they have wealth, power, influence in the press and government, dishonesty, abuse of the poor.

While Jesus had nothing, lived a simple life, had no influence in government and whatever media there was, he was on the level of the poor and needy, he was genuine.

You and your church aren't and cannot be genuine, not having left me destroyed by an almighty shambles that is all your making. You are the pharisees and you claim to be Christians, and I am sick of your noise in the press and House of Lords and I want you to go, and stop harming victims by dishonesty and pretending to care and investigate, you have never yet successfully investigated the Church's own abuse, even your Chichester inquiry was rife with cover ups and denials, such as that by your elected CSA inquiry chairwoman, Butler-Sloss, who's husband is rumoured to have visited child prostitutes. 

Please stop misleading people, it isn't Christian, and the more the Church of England continue to veer from Christianity in favour of their image, the more you become a defunct pharisee organization, there to protect the freemasons and powerful position holders who use the church for their own needs.

There is no place in the church for the vulnerable, poor, disabled or children, such people are actively discouraged from being part of the church, not least when the old and very rigid and narrow minded people who like to 'own' the church make children out to be a nuisance or call an autistic visitor 'mentally retarded' and you have a secret apartheide policy against the vulnerable, wherein an abuser can visit the houses of vicars and church leaders, as my abusers could and did, but someone like me is secretly banned without being told why, and is left feeling rejected and hurt, and not because the church want to protect me from abuse, but because they want to protect themselves.

So until you resolve these issues, and until you resolve other issues such as a female General Synod member from Jersey proclaiming that 'Women Bishops are against God' (but apparently not women representing at General Synod) and then the Deanery of Jersey having to do what all other Diocese had to, even those against Women Bishops, and claim to be 'delighted' that there are women Bishops, even though the decision for women Bishops was forced on the church by the government, until the Church of England stop being so blatantly dishonest and abusive and refuse to resolve the harm they have done through abuse and cover ups, please be quiet and stop misleading the Lords and the press, you are offending God, and you are doing so blatantly, and you are also offending me and other victims.

Your fake apology to victims is only seen as duplicity and the more you go on with this charade and misleading gullible people, the further from God your Church goes and the more defunct it becomes.

Your facilitating of abuse of me in the church times was beyond the pale, and if I have to go on putting up with this and my clergy discipline measure against you is not dealt with, I will go to court to stop you re-abusing victims to glorify the church.

sincerely,

--

A survivors account

As with many she found the police unhelpful to extremes. She was also a survivor of faith related abuse and as I have had to and am doing, she has had to work hard to change the beliefs that were drummed into her. An outsider cannot imagine how hard this is, when you are brought up believing extreme things about God, linked to abuse, it can be very hard to change those beliefs, which can affect your whole life.

A lot of negative articles in the papers about the Church of England and organized religion at the moment, even their pet papers are speaking out

The Church-led National CSA Inquiry

Dear Home Secretary,

I am writing to talk about the National CSA Inquiry, and the mess it has got into. I am sure you receive a lot of correspondence about it.

My letter to you is about the Church of England involvement in the CSA inquiry.

Both Baroness Butler-Sloss and Fiona Woold were not neutral, not just because of their connections in politics and law, but also because they were both Church of England positions holders. Baroness Butler-Sloss was famously a Church position holder and tried to avert the misconducts of a Bishop reaching public knowledge, but Fiona Woolf, as well as being in public office, was also a church position holder, and was on the PPC of a church. Now while some may count that as insignificant, I don't believe it is, especially not after Paul Butler. the Church of England's PR guy, started shouting in the press about the CSA inquiry. It really made me think.

The Church of England remain unable to deal with Safeguarding as they are still in the dark ages where abuse was pretty much a 'perk of the job'. I am sorry if that offends you as I realise that you are a Vicar's daughter and you may well have a bias to the church that will enable them to elect yet another of their own to lead the inquiry, but the thing is, that will not be an effective inquiry if you do, because the Church have done great wrong and a huge amount of institutional and serious abuse is their responsibility, which is why they should not be allowed to influence the CSA inquiry.

Undoubtedly you have heard of Kendal House and the horrific abuse that was carried out there, and as yet there has been no justice and no apology to victims, from the Church of England, who ran Kendal House, and it has had effects on generations of Kendal House survivors.

I also do not want the Kendal House victims to be further used as I have been, I was used for a PR stunt by the church, who seemed to be desparate to claim that they are good at safeguarding, and yet they publicly 'apologized' to me in the press, didn't bother to personally apologized, lied that they did, and spewed my private life all over the press which led to a smear campaign by my abusers' supporters and the wrongdoers who covered up for the abuse at my expense and vilified me.

As yet, nothing has been done about this and I remain anguished, unheard and living in fear because of the church and press vilifying me and leaving me driven from one community and another.

This would be catastrophic for Kenday House Survivors if they are allowed to be treated the same as I have been. 

So, your inquiry, much as you may love the Church of England, needs to be independently led, not led by a Church position holder, because the extent of the church's past and continuing cover up and harm to victims does need to be seen, and as they still can't handle safeguarding but have continued relentlessly to harm me, they should not lead the inquiry, they should be being investigated from the outside either through the inquiry or through an independent body.

I am absolutely sure that Paul Butler or Justin Welby can and will do a PR stunt apology to Kendal House, and make a lot of noise about caring, and probably needlessly defame me as they did in a recent church times article, but public lavish showing off won't change the reality of the horrendous culture of the Church of England, which is a club where government and society condone and pay for these wealthy old people to throw their weight about, influence the press and abuse their power, the CofE most of the time forgets Jesus teaching and example. Jesus lived simply, homeless, dependent on others, and without the affectation and propaganda that the church spew into the press to cover for themselves.

I live simply and in poverty, the church took my career and home from me and I sleep on a mattress and look in bins and will never be able to have quality of life due to what the church have done to me. They are the modern day pharisees and they do not look after children or the vulnerable, in fact they have a very very discriminatory policy against the vulnerable and they call that 'safeguarding' and they actually believe themselves.

sincerely,

The new Jersey

Apparently, under the new rules, The Diocese of Canterbury gets all the money, while the Diocese of Winchester appoints new clergy to the Channel Islands.
Actually potential clergy are selected by the existing Jersey clergy, who meet candidates and decide who they want. Then they tell Winchester.
And these days they only select clergy who will go along with the cult theme of the Jersey churches.
As I was repeatedly told.

And the Voice of Reason in the comments section, did they ask the people what they wanted?:

http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2015/01/12/dean-of-jersey-welcomes-excellent-news/

Because, if the Church of England have any morals left, which is unlikely, I know, they will remove Dakin for his million pound embarrassment which didn't achieve anything good and needlessly severely harmed me.
If Dakin can't run the Channel Islands, can't deal with a dispute without needing a PR firm and threatens a homeless abuse victim who he forcibly traced and who was begging him and his church not to keep coming after her and violating her, then something is wrong.
He likes showing off and PR, but that doesn't make a Christian, in fact it doesn't make a good person.

This sounds like the Jersey cult churches, not New Jersey!

Where are Welby's Tears? Well, I think when he is better from pneumonia, he may have a crack at being 'Heartily sorry' or whatever other script is put in front of him.

Ballast for a sinking ship

There's an upside down ship in the Solent
an insurance job, they say,
but they can't seem to right it
so it will just have to stay that way

the Anglican church is burdened
with fat unholy men
let put them on the sinking ship
to balance it out again

And we all say ayyy-menn
(unless posing as a rabid evangelical offends us)
