Friends and family remember Agnes Theresa Hicks, 54, as a generous mother whose love of music was exceeded only by her zeal for cooking.
But her family didn’t have the chance to memorialize her as such at her funeral last Wednesday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Instead of conducting the ceremony, Rev. Michael Briese ended up calling the cops on the 200 to 300 attendees ― many of them black, like Theresa Hicks herself ― after someone knocked over the church’s chalice, damaging the golden cup.

Members of the Church of Freedom in Christ Ministries, which bills itself as “an inclusive and LGBT affirming” evangelical and Pentecostal church in Makati, the Philippines, appeared Saturday at the annual event, which was being held at a sports complex in Marikina.
Parishioners at the June 30 festivities carried placards and banners that offered an apology for the way some Christians have hurt LGBTQ people through their actions and words over the years.
One banner read, “Jesus didn’t turn people away. Neither do we.” Another declared, “I’m sorry I’ve rejected and hurt your family in the name of family values.”

“Had I known of any failure in providing my ministry to the House, I would have attempted to make the appropriate adjustments, but in no case would I have agreed to submit a letter of resignation without being given that opportunity,” House Chaplain Pat Conroy wrote in his letter.
OverSoul's insight:
Someone must have told Speaker Paul Ryan that "God don't like ugly." If that's true, then good for him. The decision to fire Chaplain Conroy was indefensible.

Republicans are refusing to investigate Speaker Paul Ryan's firing of the popular House Chaplain because he advocated for the poor in a prayer.
OverSoul's insight:
There's no need to investigate anything. Speaker Ryan and the other skinflints, cheapskates and misers in the GOP leadership are so greedy and self-absorbed that they're just plain evil. It's as simple as that.

Agents of Satan: the professional troublemakers responsible for the events that led to Providence Police Department (PPD) No. 14-108502.’
Eventually, and as a result of the original complaint filed with PPD in beginning in April 2015, four additional complaints were filed with the Department of Justice via Title III. All four complaints were successfully processed by DOJ, and forwarded to HUD.
A separate personal injury lawsuit was also filed in April 2015 via Gemma Law in Cranston, Rhode Island: Alfred Wiggins Jr. v. Crossroads RI, Housing Opportunities Corporation and another (a.k.a., Occupy Hades).
OverSoul's insight:
"At times one has to deal with hidden enemies, intangible influences that slink into dark corners and from this hiding place affect people by suggestion. In instances like this, it is necessary to trace these things back to the most secret recesses, in order to determine the nature of the influences to be dealt with.
This is the task of the priests..." - The I Ching: Sun / The Gentle (The Penetrating, Wind) (57).

According to the Social Security Administration, the onset of my disability came on April 15, 2004." - Alfred Wiggins, Jr.
OverSoul's insight:
At the time this picture was taken, I was still a lay-priest in the Order of Nichiren Shoshu of America (NSA). After much study, I finally received my Gohonzon on February 5, 1988.
Though Nichiren Shoshu of America no longer exists, there are five points of contention concerning my former position in NSA that must be meticulously attended to and decisively dealt with. At issue are the slanderous statements against me and my military service, and the insults against my faith, made by school psychologist Dr. Grace Seibert-Larke (and her colleagues), at Bridgewater State College, (now Bridgewater State University) in Bridgewater, Massachusetts that led to the hoax of April 2004. I call them "the Five Points."
The slanders are three:
1. Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke told BSC Campus Police Chief David Tillinghast that I was bringing weapons to campus with the intention of hurting people, which in turn compelled the campus police to treat me as a threat to the rest of the campus community. During the confrontation between me and Chief Tillinghast; I invited him to search me and my car. He accepted my invitation, and conducted an extensive search, but failed to find weapons of any kind.
2. With respect to my career in the U.S. Army, Dr. Grace Siebert-Larke reported in her notes that I was kicked out of the service on "drug charges." That is, and will always be, a bold-faced lie. I was honorably discharged after over six years of loyal service to the people of the nation I love. On that subject, nothing follows.
3. Dr. Siebert-Larke also said I was an officer in the U.S. Army, and a member of the military intelligence during my time in service, which was totally false and purposely misleading. I actually began my career in June 1977, in combat arms, as an artilleryman & weapons mechanic. My MOS: 13B(U6).
When I re-enlisted in 1980, I became a member of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps. My MOS: 76C. Soon after I was trained in the use and maintenance of the various small arms issued by U.S. Army at the time. Though I was trained at Ft. Lewis, Washington, I became an armorer for the Military Intelligence Center & School in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona in the early 1980's. As an armorer, I was also qualified to be an instructor in small arms training and to fulfill the duties of a firing range NCO.
Now for the insults. There are two, but they will be counted as points four and five:
4. Though Dr. Siebert-Larke never met me or examined me, she cited me for dancing joyfully to "Buddhistic music" in the privacy of my own home. She went on to say said that my dancing religious music was evidence of "mania" and used it as a pretext to have me forcibly hospitalized in the psych ward at Brockton Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts.
5. In her initial notes, Dr. Seibert Larke mentioned the name of the artist whose music I danced to. His name is Krishna Das, but his song wasn't Buddhist at all. It was Hindu. The name of the selection was, "Om Namah Shivaya." The dance I was doing that night, the dance I was trying to emulate in my own way, was none other than the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva Nataraj - the Destroyer of Ignorance.
Fourteen years ago today, I was discharged from Brockton Hospital after six days drugs and deprivation that were the precursor to five years of incessant suffering and which changed my life forever, but I remain blessed with the practice that's made me so very happy for so many years: Yogacara. It's helped me overcome all manner of physical infirmities since my stroke, it helped me break the my body's addiction to the drugs foisted upon me at the hospital, and it continues to serve me well.
With deep love and devotion, I call it my "Karmic Boomerang."
