Neil is a fucking asshole. At least that's what the document says that I saved the following posts in (in case they got erased, which happened). These treatises were written on Christina's blog, where they stand, with some amendments to Neil's blog, which have been deleted. The posts were made in response to the following statements.
Neil:
hey, thanks for commenting. i want to make clear tho that i have never stated to hate a person. never. i have only stated to not condone thier sin. you know as well as i that there is a huge difference. God does love us all, thats not the problem. the problem is not all of us love him. the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. as i said tho, u can intentionally mis-interpet anything to say anything you want. which is why there are so many different views. in regards to the levy. im assuming your talking about the SWCS levy. i personally do not supprt it, but not because of a church or anything. as a resident of GC, the levy will raise our taxes in my house so much that the ministry we have going on here wont exist anymore. we always open our home up for people to come and stay and eat, etc. but we never force or accdept a dime from them. if this levy passes, we wont be able to do that anymore. thats the only reason. other schools have learned to do more with less, our schools can too. but thats personal. its not that i dont like the school or people or anything. were just doing a ministry and we want to keep it. and i want to make sure that the stupid rumors about the Naz are dispelled. if you want to know the honest truth, the Naz supports the levy more than any other place you can think of. people are failing to realize that most of the borad or anybody important to the making of this levy attend our church. it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that our church can't be against it. in actuallity, if a church were to become political, it would lose its tax exempt status. i hope you arent taking this as yelling at you or anything lol. im not meaning to sound harsh to you, only to the retards who start stupid rumors about the church. yes, its a big church. we all know that. but no one ever complains about hell being too big. while were at it, ill dispell the other rumors too. the traffic light was placed there by the city, not the church so people would have to stop and look at it. people are morons if they think that. for those who complain about the color of the walls in the church..im sry, martha stuart was busy at the time of construction. and it is not an amusement park. heaven forbid we advertise an easter play that were trying to win people to Jesus thru. its not a cult beacause its big. if numbers make it a cult, then GCHS is a cult along with the other schools, etc. well now that i wrote an epistle, ill let ya go. please dont take this as yelling. im trying not to sound mean towards you. it isnt your fault people have stupid rumors. but i hoped i help clear my view about homosexuality up. :) have a great day!

sry i wrote you a book lol. i thought most people in hoover crossing liked that light there. i dont blame ya. that someone might of had bad info too. either way, its not treu that the church doesnt support the levy. i seriously havent heard anyone say no to it except my family, for the reason s i gave you. if it didnt affect us so much then i would be for it. but we just cant afford to do both. :/ wish we could but our money tree is dead.
and
by the way i have a bright idea for SWCS...this might cause some controvrsey....but how about we get rid of some of those extra high-paying positions that are useless instead of making the residents shove out extra cash. im not cool with paying for SWCS mistakes. fire those positions and you'll get your money. by the way, the city trying to scare everyone into voting for the levy wasnt a good idea. it turned alot of people against it. nice job Grove City. i think i could run the city and get ur money better. i do NOT support the ridding of the band and sports programs. i support the firing of those worthless people were paying huge salaries to. stupid board. you know, it baffles me how all the small business' in Grove City somehow make it without extra tax-payer money. but SWCS has to have more money to function. why is that every other instituion can do more with less but our high salary school officials can't? alot of people reading this are prolly mad at me right now...so sue me. its retarded that my family would have to pay more money because SWCS cant keep up to par. like the money would do the schools any good. its not the funding thats the problem. its your people. theres a reason why we havent had a levy pass in 10 years.
My response:
Also, I'm responding to Neil on this forum, as he likes to delete posts from his. Which is fine, that's his prerogative. But I remember a post somewhere where you talked about your nice cars and your vacations...I believe you were saying this to show Bryan how much God gives you if you're willing to believe in him and follow his will. Quote: "we just bought a 2002 avalanche, we have a chevy tahoe, i have a 2001 regal, and we have an extra car sitting, we just got back from florida, we just bought a 51inch big screen, finished our basment, and we just got an appraisal in for 50,000 dollars more than we payed for the house" From a comment posted on your Xanga, 1/15/05. So Neil, you lets look again. You had a nice vacation, you have an extra car, just sitting, and a 51 inch television. You have an expensive house, oh and your taxes would have been lower if your house hadn't been appraised for so much. Not quite sure what you needed an appraisal for, as it doesn't sound like you're selling anytime soon. So, in order for children to be able to attend good schools, for Christina, my mother, and many members of your church to keep their jobs, and for kids to be able to have extracurricular activities and to play sports after schools, you could do a few things. Sell the car. Get a cheaper house. Not go on a vacation. Trade in the extravagently large TV for one smaller and yet still functional. Take your pick. I'm not asking you to give up your ministry. I'm asking you to give up these luxuries that you waved in a friend's face. Not even all of them. I bet one would cover the cost of the levy. But, I guess those of us who "mis-interpret" the bible to mean that we should think of other before ourselves will have to be the ones to support the levy. I hope it passes. So you enjoy your church, your skate park, the hellish ball pit and your ministry. And we'll figure out what to do when we lose our jobs and our after school programs and our ability to get into colleges and make the world a better place. But at least you'll have God, and your proper renderings of his word.

I take a lot of the previous post back. Reading the lovely right-leaning paper, The Columbus Dispatch, I have found that a 100,000 dollar home will have a tax increase of 297 dollars each year. Let's assume that you have a 250,000 dollar house. An estimate, because I have no idea how much your house is worth, except it's at least 50,000 more than you thought it was. So your tax bill will increase by...750 dollars. A year. That's not the price of a car. Not the price of a vacation to Florida. Probably wouldn't even pay for the tv that you're so proud of. Certainly that's much smaller than the amount of tuition you pay. So I was angry before, but I'm even angrier now. How selfish of you. I can't even believe it. My blood pressure is rising over this. Between your entire family you can't fine 750 dollars (if it really is that much) to give to a good cause like South-Western City Schools? We already pay less in taxes than most of the county. You got a good education from South West. Why can't you give that to some 5 year old. I'm sure he or she has done nothing to you. They've not had enough time to offend you or your values or your church. They probably never called your church a cult. They probably didn't even notice the fucking traffic light. And I thought generosity was a Christian value. Hmm.
Christina, I'm sorry to do this here. Delete everything if you want. I have all of these posts saved (as opposed to the one that Neil deleted) and I'll be happy to post them on my own forum.
Delete if you'd like. But I can't even believe you can say things like that. It's disgusting. Small businesses get subsidies from the government. They're also doing something to make some sort of profit, or else they wouldn't be in business. And it's likely none of them would have the ability to run their own business if they hadn't gotten a high school education. You had a lot of fun with the band. By not voting for the levy, so that you can have a big screen tv, vacations, and cars just sitting around taking up space (did I mention the Tahoe is doing a lot of bad things to the environment that God so graciously created for you? Now I did.) you're keeping a lot of people for having those same experiences. And I thought you said that a lot of those board members went to your church. Should they get fired to? Or maybe just the catholic ones (Okay, yeah totally bringing this in on my own. You never attacked any of them for not going to the Naz.) It costs a lot to educate people. Teachers, books, electricity, and your precious band are expensive. But the public gets a lot of good out of people getting good educations and not being on the streets after school, and this is the way they can pay for it.
Finally, I never felt as much loathing for anyone as I have for you today. And it makes me angry with myself that someone can make me this hate-filled. But you do. You're hurting all the people that as a Christ-like person you're supposed to love. You're punishing school children for the acts of people they didn't elect and for things they have no control over. So enjoy your tv, your vacations, and your cars. I'll do my part. By the way, I'm a Democrat and a more or less lapsed Catholic. But I gave almost 200 dollars to charity last year and if I owned a house and had to pay taxes, I'd do it. Because we're supposed to take care of our fellow man that for one reason or another can't take care of themselves. And that includes all the kids who can't go to private schools to get a quality education.
