The below was an email to you that I was unable to finish, before I finally decided to abandon the idea and allow sleeping dogs to stay at peace.  However, with the latest legal happenings and the latest psychological abuse conducted on my person by the Bail Office, I must tell you – you really FAILED ME. Please do not respond, I have zero capacity for further engagement with you in personal matters.  Furthermore, I have revoked the Legal Authority to share information with other entities as of yesterday, March 20th.

I apologise for any curtness, but it is necessary due to my overall health and my limited time.

----------------- Hi [PASTOR],

The Salvation Army does not discriminate in the delivery of our community and social services. Anyone who comes to The Salvation Army will receive assistance based solely on their need and our capacity to help.

I have explained to you that:

  • I think it is very simple
  • I have been forced into dependency
  • I think a lot of people want to complicate matters
  • I cannot have people involved because everybody assumes
  • I cannot have people involved because everybody convolutes
  • I cannot have people involved because I have to find my own answers within my own being without the contamination of other people
  • I am not strong enough, I am not healthy enough, I do not have the resources behind me to put myself into a position to have what I need (sanctuary)
  • anybody who is suppose to be a ‘professional’, or in a position to help, is only geared for helping themselves
  • I have explained to you that I have been led around for everyone else’s purposes and that it has almost killed me

You have said:

  • I need a place to just be myself
  • I need a place to organize and sort myself out, you think that is important, you think I need that
  • You want me to move forward however that looks like for me

In terms of moving forwards I have told you that I am in a place where I get no sleep, I get no peace, I get attacked physically and verbally, I am breathing in drugs from people and I have a very complicated situation to deal with.  I have explained what these meetings are about to me; that that is moving from a dorm where I cannot function and without further induced trauma, move into a private room with a bed where I can process my own thoughts, sleep at will and write on my computer at will.  That is something that will move my person forward, something so simple.  I have expressed that I need peace and privacy to seek my own answers from my own being.  I have even expressed interest in the Christian aspect of the Genesis program.  I have met and spoken with people already in that same program.  However, prior to moving from an unhealthy situation, one in which I cannot even function, this “Church” appears to be attempting to create a program of ‘Management’ through the pseudo-science of ‘Mental Health’ and Medications.  Which coincidentally, is exactly where our relations seem to break down.

You have denied assisting my person.

You have pushed harmful medical practices upon my person.

In short, I am not receiving assistance upon my need, nor am I receiving assistance within your capacity to help.  I want you do understand that I equate the actions of the Port Moody Police, the Mental Health System and the Courts to Murder.  They have murdered my person.
