My Church--continued

Have written about my church in January of this year.  Our new pastor has been supportive of me and we're in the process of discussing the issues.  We're thinking I could re-write the pamphlet I wrote for the church but I'm considering waiting until something gets settled with the police--if it's going to be settled in the near future?  [We'll see how things go with them....]

Gone From View?

On March 6, 2013, I last wrote about "Doc Hollywood" which is listed in my Labels in the sidebar.  I was wondering when his issues would be settled, although the main real-life person had already retired from his work at the hospital?  And I'm not sure what's going on, if anything--he has certainly been in the background if he's in the picture at all any more?  So, this subject doesn't seem to be a major concern any longer...? 

            NOTE, added in March 2023:  Have recently heard rumours that the Doc Hollywood psychiatrist HAS STILL BEEN advising for the special police project, even though he retired from his day jobs quite a while ago; and his health isn't good, but he still seems to be going!?  I wrote about this psychiatrist in a post on October 7, 2022 but wasn't able to include it in my Labels section....  

African Countries

There are some countries in the world where the practice of homosexuality is still against the law.  It was thought these laws were getting old and weren't being enforced very well but recently the government of Uganda brought in new anti-sodomy laws.  It was a little disappointing to hear about it and especially since some American Christians have allegedly been working to gain sympathy from African countries on anti-gay issues.  Uganda is facing a lot of pressure from other countries elsewhere and also from the United States government.  Have been doing research on Africa on the Internet and they have quite a different lifestyle there than we do in the western world!  Their issues are complicated....  ***  If homosexuality is no longer seen as a psychiatric illness--and it hasn't been since the 1970s sometime--I believe it's a psychological issue.--And a lot of us wouldn't want to be criminalized for psychological issues!!!  Myself, I don't believe in the practice of homosexuality but I don't want to see it being made into a crime.  In the USA, they got away from it recently and it's kind of sad to see some places going backwards.  [The country of Kenya is a neighbour of Uganda and they also seem to have active laws in place against homosexual acts.]  ***  Aren't there worse problems in the world that need time and attention???
