Sex Offender Society

The Sex Offender Society (SOS) is an organization of registered sex offenders. It does not matter if you have or have not ever comitted a sex crime. You can register as a sex offender at our website, or in person at one of our pride parade boths. Free SOS T-shirts will be given away this year to all new registrants at the Seattle, San Francisco and Minneapolis parade boths. The T-shirts read: “REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER, keep women and children away! (men prefered)” SOS is light-hearted. But provides real support and information for all registered sex offenders (criminal or not), not just gays. Our organization is founded in the future, and is based on the simple belief that all people are sex offenders, and all sex offenders are people. Note: SOS does not advocate or condone sex crime, or any sexual behavior that compromises another person's freedom to choose their own sexual behavior. If you would like more information about SOS, then you'll have to use your imagination; because no such organization exists... yet. PS: If the SOS website existed (sexos.com, pronounced “sey-ohs-dot-com”) it could have the following information and features: A comprehensive history of sex offender registration laws; including history of criminal registration (i.e. Nazi Germany) and current legal challenges. History of sex crime. History of persecution. Detailed listing and analysis of registration laws, cross-referenced by state. Sex offender registration lists, and searches, by state and national. SOS registration list, which includes offense type (not necessarily criminal) and optional descriptions, as well as other information that the “offender” determines should be made public (not the police). Periodic newsletters (e-mail subscriptions) to introduce new website features, legal challenge updates, and “Sex Offender of the Month” feature, as well as other features, such as “Tips and Tricks” (on how to legally avoid parole and police traps) and maybe a feature on “Legal Sex Offenses” (such as types of gay sex). Ideally the site wouls allow the SOS registered members to vote on new features (such as chat rooms, e-mail alerts, photo options, etc.) and also incourage member contributions (i.e. articles, stories, pictures, tips, etc...) The site would basically attempt to provide much needed community support for “sex offenders” in general, while being careful not to promote sex crime.

Blame Excludes Responsibility

Blame excludes all responsibility. You can't have both at the same time and they are not the same thing despite what those who project blame for a living (i.e. witch-hunters) want you to think. Blame shuns responsibility while only pretending to actually be responsibility. One way it does this is by using oxymoronic language such as, "personal responsibility", in order to confuse things, which makes it easier to convince people that blame is the same as being responsible. But there is nothing "personal" about real responsibility. It is action taken for the benefit of everyone, not just an excuse, like blame, to do nothing while everyone suffers. Responsibility takes action to solve a problem long before blame even points its accusing finger. It might not always solve a problem on the first try, but it knows that finding fault and placing blame never accomplishes anything and usually only makes things worse. Even though blame likes to pretend it makes a problem better it never does, because it can't. The best blame can do - and one of its favorite tricks - is to confuse the issue behind a veil of emotionally charged accusations and a lot of superficial action. For example, using punishment and reward "systems" to try to compel other people to take responsibility. But compelling someone to take responsibility is like trying to force them to love you! It can't be done. It might result in a false and temporary display of convincing compliance, but the display never lasts long before it turns into rebellion and spite behind the oppressor's back, which of course only make the problem worse in the end. Responsibility must be accepted freely, and it doesn't need to be rewarded. Like love, it is its own reward. Anyone who has ever been genuinely responsible, even just once, understands this. Those who can only place blame never will.

The Book of Life

Christian's don't believe in Christ; they believe in their own belief systems (b.s.) instead. The Christ is the Christian bible even tries to warn them of this error (see John 5:39-40 for example). But of course they cannot help making this mistake, because they have not “received the love of the truth”, so God sends them a “strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” (see Thes 2:9-12). And I say this not because the bible says so, but because it has been made clear to me. I have learned not to trust the “wisdom of men's words”, it was such “wisdom” that drove me to murder! And it is exactly this same false wisdom – wisdom born in fear and ignorance, not love – that drives men to want to murder me even now. Please read John, chapter 8, and look past the words and into the heart of Jesus, into my heart, and into your own! The gospel cannot be read in any book, except the Book of Life itself! (“...our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the gospel, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life.” - 2 Cor 3:5-6, “You are a letter of Christ... written... on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.” - 3:2-3)

Addicted to Us

I am convinced that drug addiction, like sex addiction, and perhaps like all addiction, is a sociological condition, not a psychological one. Which is to say that it is induced by pathological conditions in our social system, not by individual psychosis. It is a grave mistake to place the blame for addiction on the addict. Such a person clearly is not in conscious control of their own behavior, and said lack of control can be relatively simply traced to their social experience and background. Native Americans have an extremely high susceptability to alcoholic addiction. Some studies have pointed to genetic vulnerability, but these studies have not withstood scientific scrutiny. Currently there is no commonly accepted theory for their vulnerability to alcohol. Perhaps the solution could be found by studying the social impact on the disease. For example, what is the addiction rate of genetic Native Americans who are isolated from the Native American culture. I predict it would be much lower than other Native Americans. Maybe I'm talking out of my hat (in fact, I am), but if Native American alcoholism can be tied to sociological conditions, then what other forms of addiction could be similarily explained? The implications would clearly be stagering. So, perhaps for once we should listen to what an addict (me) says, and take a look at ourselves as a society instead of pointing fingers (which is all our so-called criminal justice system seems good at). Blaming the addict only exacerbates the problem by incouraging the self blame and the shame that is invariably associated with all addiction. This habit of blaming the addict may actually be the the social construct that causes the addiction. We should at least question addiction in this social context. But, since any general solution for addiction would cause a significant collapse in a whole sector of our present economy namely, the “Correctional Complex”, the more valid my suggestions may be, the less likely they would be seriously researched. And that is the result of another perhaps even related disease called capitalism. And since just mentioning that word gets my blood pumping, I'll stop now before I start exhibiting the symptoms of my own addiction to judgementality.

What I Saw, That Changed My Life

I saw that all life is eternal. I saw that I existed only by my connection to this eternal life. I saw that all things exist via the same connection to eternal life. I saw that what I am is animated and given purpose only by who I am. I saw that who I am is eternal. I saw that what I am would perish, but only after it had served out its purpose to who I am. I saw that all things serve the purpose of who I am. I saw that my purpose was to learn, and to understand. I saw that learning was an act of love, and understanding is the compelling force behind the act, and faith is the medium through which the force becomes action. I saw that lying was an act of hate, and ignorance is the compelling anti-force behind every lie, and fear is the medium that the anti-force conjures in order to justify deception. I saw that a great war was being fought between love and hate, understanding and ignorance, faith and fear. I saw that good and evil are deceptions used to keep fearful people ignorant of love. I saw that I was a fearful person.
