Janet Evans quoting scripture???? Talk about hypocrisy.

I would think the steeple would crumble if that evil woman ever walked through the doors of a church.

The other night during a prayer circle, someone offered up a prayer for the new city council president, council in general, ending the impasse with the police and firefighters and moving the city forward.

One of my instructors at Langley used to instill in us that more can be accomplished using back channels, so still filled with the Holy Spirit when I got home I decided to do an out reach to some of our brethren down the hall.

Not sure what caused the backlash from her. Perhaps she misunderstood the snake handling part (haven't done that in years) or thought I was calling her or JOey a snake (which I wasn't) or perhaps it was the Mark & Luke scriptures that struck a nerve. Maybe it was the Nation of Islam article. Perhaps it was all of that.

What I find amazing is the response - using the New International Version of the Bible to scold me about The Armor of God and yet the beginning passage of Ephesians 6 is Children and Parents , you know the one which goes: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" - which is the first commandment with a promise - "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

Now NotADumbBlonde could have done one of three things: 1) ignore my outreach, which I would have respected and ceased and desisted from further ministering, 2) respond to me using the same method I used to reach out to her and again would have understood and stopped. But she choose 3) create not one, but two public posts on a board for all to see, which makes a whole lot of sense. Does GFY mean God Fearing Yeonite? That was very Christian, but I've been told worse. And why would JOey need to edit to clarify? I knew what she meant. Did JOey read my outreach message ala Dave Evans.

I believe the reason she didn't respond using the method I used to initially contact her is that there is a level of paranoia of outing her true identity. Which cracks me up because she uses a link to an avatar on a site that can provide (via request) with the IP addresses/servers of people who have linked to that avatar. Then all you would have to do is narrow down your search to the Scranton area and you'd have a very good idea as to who the poster's true identity is.

We owe an apology to Dave Evans because NotADumbBlonde is not Janet Evans and he was correct on that. I won't OUT the poster out of respect of their choice for posting anonymously, just as I wouldn't want to have my true identity revealed unless I choose to do so.

So needless to say, my attempt at starting a common dialogue with others down the hall has ended with a go slither away and a GFY. I shall continue to pray for them and light an occasional candle at St. Anne's.

I've reached out to NotADumbBlonde to help clarify my original intent and respect her wishes with no further contact on my part. Someday if she has a change of heart, she knows how to contact me. Perhaps we can have coffee and a muffin before a council meeting.

Shari,

I agree that you were right, so congrat's. But two thougts come to mind...

..."again"?
...some of us have been questioning whether NADB was Janet Evans for a while now, in fact I think even before you got here.

So I'd save the party hats and streamers if I were you.

Regardless, since you are in full intell mode, perhaps you can speculate on this: Why do you think that Joe Pilchesky allows poster NADB to pretend to be Janet Evans? By pretend, I offer up the following tid-bits of proof...

...NADB's "English teacher-esque" use of language
...NADB's often remarkable ability to get his/her hands on council minutes very quickly
...NADB's almost creepy comments about things overheard at council meetings (things that he/she has referenced that I did not hear while watching the broadcast on Channel 61)...things that only someone who is there would hear
...NADB's fawning over the actual Janet Evans
...NADB's very nickname

I'd like to hear your thoughts...well, other than "I don't know". Come on Shari, tell me what you think.

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

Does anyone really know who any of the DD ;osters are ??? I am curious to know who Delaware, east of green ridge and katie are,, they seem to think they know everything about everyone,, and they are really nowhere close !!!!!

Ok I'll play!

...NADB's "English teacher-esque" use of language

Could be a mere coincidence.

...NADB's often remarkable ability to get his/her hands on council minutes very quickly

I've seen transcripts of the meeting an hour after the words were said. I suppose NADB knows how to transcribe or nows someone who does and it gets sent to her. Also, posts have been made during the meeting which would have made it impossible for Janet to do.

...NADB's almost creepy comments about things overheard at council meetings (things that he/she has referenced that I did not hear while watching the broadcast on Channel 61)...things that only someone who is there would hear

That puzzled me a few times, I admit.

...NADB's fawning over the actual Janet Evans

I don't blame her. I think Janet is great.

..NADB's very nickname

That narrows it down to two billion people.

I'd like to hear your thoughts...well, other than "I don't know". Come on Shari, tell me what you think.

I just did Aga. And that's some of the reasons that I've based my opinions on. I can understand how someone could think she is her at first, but eventually, it becomes clear she isn't. Whatever Pilchesky's thoughts are on this, is his perogative.

Quote | Reply Former Drunken Southern Preacher My Dear Brother, in response to your PMs Certainly the atmosphere is ominous, given the absence of trepidation on Mr. Pilchesky's part. I fear for his safety, but he doesn't seem to be a man who identifies with cosequences knocking on his front door. " The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away."

My Dear Sister, in response to your most recent secret message,

I concur that the atmosphere is close to apocalyptic, given the presence of delusional inner strength on Colonel Kurtzs part.

I fear for Captain Willards safety, because he doesn't seem to be a man who can handle the consequences that are lurking in the shadows of the jungle on his soul searching journey up the NungRiver or what awaits him at the Do Lung Bridge Outpost.

"They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."

Thanks for your thoughts Shari...seriously, I appreicate it. A few thougths of my own in reply (in red italic)...

Sure it could, but there is a certain "preachy" style to it; it's as if he/she is lecturing when he/she writes. No one else at DD writes that way, and to state the obvious, I think he/she is purposefully writing in the style of Janet Evans.
...NADB's often remarkable ability to get his/her hands on council minutes very quickly

I've seen transcripts of the meeting an hour after the words were said. I suppose NADB knows how to transcribe or nows someone who does and it gets sent to her. Also, posts have been made during the meeting which would have made it impossible for Janet to do.
I've noticed the posting timing as well, and there have been postings made by NADB during the day when a "real" (if there is such a thing) Janet Evans would be in theory teaching English. Transcription requires too much effort, so I'd vote against that. My theory? NADB knows someone on the inside who does has access to the transcripts. Is that Janet herself? I obviously don't know, but I do think that's possible.
...NADB's almost creepy comments about things overheard at council meetings (things that he/she has referenced that I did not hear while watching the broadcast on Channel 61)...things that only someone who is there would hear

This is one where the subliminal message is "You know, I really could be Janet Evans", as providing that kind of information serves no other useful purpose.

...NADB's fawning over the actual Janet Evans

I don't blame her. I think Janet is great.
Your opinion. I believe that she is extremely self-serving. She used a school board position to get a full-time teaching job (if Doherty did something like that the DD crew and you would be all over it). She has used City Council as a weekly commercial for an anticipated mayoral run. She has used alternative budgets that in some ways make absolutely no sense (see comments on OCED salaries), for no purpose other than to simply pander to potential voters. Hell, she has used a "wink-wink, nod-nod" relationship with Joe Pilchesky to appeal to Doherty-haters. I could also cite an example or two from her position teaching responsibilities at Scranton High School, but I won't...I'll save those kinds of tactics for DD.

So what you see as being great, I see as transparent poltics-as-usual, of the worst sort. In a race between her and Gary DiBileo, I hope Gary cleans her clock (and I am not a Gary D. fan in the least, but I'd vote for him any day if the alternative is Janet Evans). Anyway, do you really want Dave Evans as First Lady of Scranton?

..NADB's very nickname

I don't know too many blonde Chinese, Indians or Africans, so I think you number is a bit high.

I'd like to hear your thoughts...well, other than "I don't know". Come on Shari, tell me what you think.

I absolutely agree and thanks for sharing your thoughts. However if you think about it, this isn't an issue in and of itself...honestly, who really gives a crap who "it" really is anyway? I don't have to know who you really are Shari, nor do I have to know who NADB is either. In fact, the only one at DD that I have any real curiosity about is Anti, and that's because he is a vile, racist, self-styled pseudo-intellectual of the worst sort who with thoughts like his may in fact be a danger to himself and society at large. No, the real news here is a rather amateurish (in hind-sight) example of Pilchesky and his board attempting to create buzz. To our discredit, I think we fell for it, at least for a while.

Actually she was already asked those question and unfortunatly for her the answers were in the paper..now she has to defend her answers.

1. I do not have time to read or post at DD
2. I don't know Joey, of course then she had to retrack a bit in the same article when she was forced to admit to having him for dinner at her home. Which isn't too weird asI often have total strangers over for dinner don't you??

Can't wait for part two of these kinds of interviews. :))
