Hello from San Quentin

[bmbommarito]

Good morning to all of you gentlemen (And want to be gentlemen) out there. I am writing from San Quentin Prison, where I am serving time for my beliefs, though I suppose that is a story for another time.

I have been what I would like to think of as a great believer since as far back as I can recall. I, unlike many, do follow the Bible to the letter though, including stoning one of my friends for cursing in front of my children. He deserved it though, at least I think so, since he was an atheist. That is not what brings me to my new home away from home though.

I have been reading these forums for awhile now, but never had the nerve to actually join in. Today, after my third beating while here, I came on to again look for some advice, when the Lord spoke to me to tell me to join the forums, and so I did. I look forward to perhaps helping out with what little advice I have to offer, and of course continuing to read through this wonderful resource.

San Quentin is in California. Considering the behavior they allow is that depraved hell hole of a state I shudder to think of what gets you imprisoned there.

I can't believe my tax dollars are going to help pay for you to browse the internets. You're lucky you have toilet paper.

They are not actually allowing me to use the internet, none of the inmates here technically have access to any computers. The Lord does provide ways to overcome obstacles, and even if that method is gagging a guard and throwing him in a closet, it is provided by the Lord.

As for having toilet paper, I guess you have not seen the reports of that going away. We no longer have toilet paper because we may find a way to either escape with it, or hang ourselves in our cells. Toilet paper is now a huge commodity here, and there have been multiple shankings to get even one piece. Thankfully my significant other here, or that's what he claims he is at least, has a hookup to the outside with a guy that works in K-Mart and can get toilet paper in now and then.

I did not realize how depraved this state truly was until I came here for a job. I was trying to stay in my good, wholesome state of Michigan, but sadly I needed a job and the only place I could find one was in California. I moved my family here, and things all changed.

Everyday as I walk down the street I am stared at by the gays. They are everywhere and it's almost flaunted here, in fact there are places here that call themselves churches that embrace the gays...it's sickening. It's so bad here that I had to hire an armored guard to walk my son down the street. You can't be too safe, and I do not want him kidnapped, or worse have pictures taken of him that end up on the internet. Along with that, the cops here are useless. I have called them at least 40 times for someone looking at my son for longer than a half a second, and they have started to laugh at me.

Thankfully it seems the government is starting to do something about this problem. It seems that they are moving the gays to one small part of the city, where despite the fact the depravity has gotten terrible in that area, it's out of the way and you can make a decision to totally avoid it.

That's what I thought. I hope Obama doesn't start giving prisoners access to the internets. They shouldn't be able to stalk or harass their victims from the safety of a prison.

Thankfully my significant other here...

Please explain this.

Re: Hello from San Quentin

Please explain this.

Well, as I said in my post, that is what he calls himself. I do not know if that is true or not, but simply stating his thoughts on this since I have none myself.

I must explain a little here since I am sure many of the followers of this great resource have not spent time in prison, in fact I never thought I would be in this situation either. In prison, you must do what you must to survive. While the Lord helps many here, there are still the evil atheists and satanists that are put here to test the true followers faith here.

If someone wishes to be your "Significant Other" or "Boyfriend" here, you must go with it. That will get you many things, including trinkets smuggled in to help you live. Everyday I do ask forgiveness for this thing I must do to live, but if I stopped, I would endure double the beatings that I am now.

Re: Hello from San Quentin

Wow! How lucky you are to be in prison! Some of the Apostle Paul's most inspired epistles were written while he was incarcerated.

Two bits of advice:
1) Thanks the LORD every day for you circumstances. He has a blessed plan for you, and you should embrace it. Prison is obviously part of your plan, so treasure it and rejoice in it.

2) God instructs us to obey civil authority. You witness as a Christian is made a mockery of if you are aiding, abetting, or merely ignoring assaults on your legal captors. You need to show compassion and kindness to them, as they are your current master. Taking advantage of their incapacitation to access the internet is the wrong thing to do.

Anyway God bless, and start keeping a journal. It could be fun and inspiring reading that you can share after you are released.

If you're really in San Quentin, what can you see from your cell?

YOu should spell internet without an s. It's not plural. I'm also in the bay area right now near San Quentin. The area around has really expensive property valuation which is funny when you think they have hard core felons living down the road. The state is going to sell the prison btw that was in the news.

If it's good enough for the second best President of The United States of America ever, it's good enough for you.

I fixed your typing errors, hypocrite.
