We are an independent and confidential organization, with no connections with the church or church officials. We are also a non-profit, certified 501 (c) (3) organization.
And we are here to help.

SNAP

I did not assume you were lance, and am sure that your organisation is a much needed help to anyone who has suffered so terrible a wrong at the hands of any authority figure! I have never sought to deny that such tragic abuses of trust, by priests of all denominations and faiths as well as by other authority figures have taken place in the past, and will, regrettably, continue to occur.

Yet I stand by my contention that those priests who have so abused their office form a very small minority of the whole and are acting in direct contravention of the tenets of their own faith(s) by doing so. I am on record on these pages as having stated that any such event should be of concern to all of us. I, personally, have no faith based 'axe to grind.'

The reason I have hunted the lance through these pages is his habit of talking complete tripe on almost any subject under the Sun! His use of extreme, simplistic, and juvenile language anent the very real problems which confront the victims that your organisation seeks to aid does you no favours!

Like many other posters I have resorted to ridicule to combat his inanities. Should some of the imagery evoked be distasteful to you, and I am not so entirely devoid of empathy as to be unable to see that it may, let me know and I will desist. My intent has been to assist various others in puncturing la-la's monumental self-regard. Not to bring added pain to anyone by thoughtless indulgence in invective.

After all, la-la does not leave us all short of alternative material to use to his discomfort.

what lance doesn't realiseMar 23rd, 2009 - 16:33:26

is that when the same song is sung over, and over, and over, and over, and over, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, is that the message becomes meaningless, boring, insulting and any potential caring person turns on the source of annoyance. To the people of SNAP: you do not want Rancid Rance as a mouthpiece. You do not want him on your side. He is counterproductive. You may, or may not be doing any good. At this point I don't give a sh*t. Get your sore arses off this site and go sit on an icepack.

'I have spoken with many a SNAP 'activist', 'customer' and parent of 'customer''
Good for bloody you. Now shut the f*ck up. Damned few people care that you exist, let alone who you vegetate with. It's sounds like your stroking your little ego there, pal. Stroking something, anyway.

wimpy lance has gone crying to the editors and had some posts removed. Like the whining, snivelling little dork he is, he starts things and then goes crying to mommy when his crap gets thrown back in his face. Poor, widdle wance. Hey, Ramce, If you can't stand the heat, get the f*ck out of the Confessional.

Could some genius explainMar 24th, 2009 - 17:42:17

why Pope Benedict got a 'rousing Angola welcome' when he has BANNED the use of CONDOMS in a country with a major Aids Epidemic?

An estimated 22 million adults and children were living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa at the end of 2007.
During that year, an estimated 1.5 million Africans died from AIDS. The epidemic has left behind some 11.6 million orphaned African children.

The estimated number of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS, the number of deaths from AIDS, and the number of living orphans in ANGOLA at the end of 2007 is shown below.

Country Angola
People living with HIV/AIDS, 190,000
Women with HIV/AIDS, 110,000
Children with HIV/AIDS, 17,000
AIDS deaths, 11,000
Orphans due to AIDS, 50,000
