Reverend Magdalen Legal Fund
By Modemac (add to contacts)
Rachel Bevilacqua (a.k.a. Reverend Mary Magdalen) lost custody of her son after a conservative custody judge was outraged at the fact that she is a member of the Church of the SubGenius. As a result of appearing in a adult-rated parody of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” custody of her son was taken from her and awarded to the boy’s father (the couple was never married). Rachel and her husband have fought a long, expensive battle to win custody of their son, while her ex-boyfriend’s legal costs have been entirely been handled by a pro-bono lawyer (who is a friend of his). Legal costs have skyrocketed, exceeding $140,000 as of August 2007. See also: http://www.modemac.com/wiki/Reverend_Magdalen

She may have temporary custody of her son but the legal case is far from over. Read

Of the $6,700 raised from the pledgie.com pledgie.com donations page as of this time, $4,000 of this was back in March of 2007 when a desperate call for donations was made. At that time, Magdalen’s Dad had sacrificed his retirement savings to help with her legal costs, and the $4,000 raised at that time was intended to help pay him back for that. Since then, about $2,700 in further donations have been received – of which we are enormously grateful to everyone who donated. These donations have been used towards Magdalen’s legal costs…and since those legal costs ran up to about $140,000, every penny of this has been needed. Feel free to spread as many nasty rumors as you want, we don’t care. We are simply thankful to all of the kind souls who saw it in their hearts to help out.

Having another kid just means she needs the money all the more, doesn’t it? Keep spreading the word, folks!

I just read about all the legal troubles. That totally sucks. Why doesn’t the U.S. legal system attack creationists or holocaust denyers from having custody of their children? I have been an unofficial member in spirit of the Church of the SubGenius for 15 years, and, while generally being a misanthrope and asshole, I sometimes get the urge to help if I can. Here’s hoping for the full custody of your son and an end to this bullshit.

I would like to offer something other than money. Like how to zero out your account. This will allow you to create abundance from the very ones that have created lack. There is also a way to speak to the courts that work in your favor. Instead of against you. You come in as a underdog only because you come from the fictious speach of the law. Instead of speaking to the court in the Language of Now and the Truth.
Let me know if you would like to know more
