You're welcome. I've got another one, too, that illustrates maybe more of an "in your face" or shocking example: When I was in jail, I met alot of different women. Since my case was highly publicized, I received a ton of mail. There was excitement daily when it was mail call time. The guards would get upset with the amount of mail I received and it tickled the women. Anything upsetting to the guards tickled them! Anyhow, many of the people from Missionaries to the Pre-Born wrote me regularly and some came to visit. (Boy, did those times freak out the guards!) And they sent tracts. When I first opened a large envelope loaded with them, I attempted to keep them hidden as I thought these hardened criminal women would be offended. *I* didn't think they were ready for something as blatant as photos of dead, aborted babies. *I* should NOT have thought because I thought WRONG. (I happened to be in jail very soon after huge busts at a Grateful Dead concert and the jail was pretty crowded.) These women LOVED the tracts. So much so, that I had to call Matt collect and ask him to have his people send in MORE. The women would take the tracts and photos, and write to relatives they hadn't spoken to in years or were having problems with. Dear Mom...this was the child I never had because you made me get an abortion. Dear Joe: This could have been your son. And so on. It was really cool to watch. These women came to me regularly and told their "secrets." I did not see them as "criminals" or dykes, or whores, or crack heads, or nuts, but as real, hurting human beings and treated them as such. There were only two of "us Believers" in the can amongst all the "dredges of society". Some of the women were/are the neatest people I've ever met.
