I let a guy I have known for 25 years flop at my place last night. I knew he was a bible thumper but it is rather sickening if you knew his life. It was constant praising God, quoting bible verses and judging everyone. This man has been in jail, prison, mental hospitals, rehab, half-way houses and homeless for the 25 years I have known him. He came to my house to park a van because he has no driver license and needs to stash is before he gets in trouble. His life is in and has been in a mess for 50 years. He killed 2 children in a car wreck (he was drunk) that were passengers in his car. He is healing a broken arm from a fight right now. He preaches love for one another, everyone is Gods child and in the same breath how much he hates Obama because Obama hates Christians. He hates Obama with a passion. He goes to church every chance he gets which is a lot and walks out with so much hatred and is so judgmental of everything. It is exhausting to listen to the hate and confusion and imagination that comes out of his mouth. It might be rude of me but he can't come to my house and talk like that anymore. I seen him walking down the dirt road to hitchhike to town. He didn't even say bye.

(1,241 posts)just this weekend in America. They end up locked in the Community Crisis center. I am probably just pissed at myself for being nice and letting the guy stay at my house. It's just a vent.

(1,241 posts)turns out to be just another title for the "DRUNK TANK". They more or less kidnapped the person and locked her up. She was very very mentally distraught and should have been hospitalized.

(17,320 posts)And I agree that many of the Community Crises center do more harm than good. But still, a good social worker might could have helped the guy out. Good for you for trying.
