I knew and dated her while in college and she was a pathological liar who followed the Jewish faith and went by a completely different name. Her first name was Carolyn but out of respect for her family I will not post her last. I have no doubt that this is an effort to exploit the "Not-For-Profit" status that a church and/or clergy enjoy and to bilk her congregation out of any monies that they choose to contribute. I can not fault them as she can be quite engaging but please know and be aware of what you are contributing to. She will ride this train as long as she can and will then move on leaving her "congregation" confused, lost and pennyless. I do have an issue with the person.

She has subsequently seduced my sister in law, broken up the marriage and has moved the woman into her family. It's a polyamorous relationship. Whose idea of NORMAL is this? Is this what Wiccan is all about? This seems completely unethical and selfish to me. She's taken advantage of a woman who although intelligent and good hearted, only lacks direction. Try to imagine how confusing this must be for the children, who suddenly have 2 mommies. This is wrong on every level. If you fall in love with somebody that you're not married to and want to be with them, get a divorce and do it. This can only end tragically for my sister in law, while I have no doubt that "Dr." Kendra will emerge from the inevitable trainwreck unscathed. If there are powers in the universe that care about justice, I am sure that they have Kendra in their crosshairs even as I write this.

I was struck by how similar that family's experience was to my own growing up, albeit I grew up as a conservative Christian. My parents were <b>into</b> it. I saw a lot of similarities. If the goal was to show that there are similarities, I believe it was accomplished. After all, there is not one truly universal branch of either Wicca or Christianity (no matter what the Popes claim). FWIW, I saw this episode last night.

I wanted to note what I thought was the nicest thing about the program... It appears as though the children - every single kid even the neighbors had a better idea about spirituality than any adult that was interviewed. Made me smile on the inside. Other than that the program was fine - the collar confused me a little thought. I watched with synical anticipation I can’t help myself.

I have my doubts as well, but I must say I just watched last Sunday's episode about the family that is working through the father's transgender transformation. I thought it really captured the power of their relationship and the strength of their resolve to keep their family together. It is a moving story and I thought the show portrayed them with diginity. I hope they do they same for Wiccans. As a Wiccan in a mixed faith marriage, I’m looking forward to seeing this episode.
