Just saw Extra, what do you think?
Wednesday, 10-Nov-1999 19:46:07
I just watched Susan on Extra. I was wondering what you all thought. Now, I am a
really big Eight is Enough fan, so don't take this personal, but I think she is
crazy. I am also a Christian. I was hoping that they had an interview with
Willie because I would like to see what he thinks about all of this since he does
the Bibleman show. If anyone knows, please, let the rest of us know too. Post
what you thought of the show!
Peace and Love,
Nichole
I don't know what to think. It was very bizarre and unsettling to see her like that.
The therapist who Extra! had on there said she was suffering from paranoid
schziphriena, {wrong spelling}. I don't know what's wrong with her, but God bless
her. We all have our problems and demons, God knows I do also, so I hope she finds
peace or whatever she needs!

If you watched Extra on November 10th You Susan Richardson who played Susan has
some real serious mental problems and seems to have lost touched with reality.
She now lives in a trailer in Pennsylvania. Not only does she believe she is the
daughter of God she also believes she was murdered and has come back to life.
She also believes a UFO is buried in her backyard and that the end of the world
is near. The Extra people shoed the video of the interview to a psychiatrist as
the Doctor said se showed classic signs of being a paranoid skidsofrenic and needed
immediate treatment.
????
she also didn't sound very good, her voice sounded like she was out of it, or maybe
on something. How can she have been murdered and then come back to life. She also
said John Kennedy Jr was John the Baptist. Makes no sense to me.

Something tells me that I haven't gotten the complete story Susan was trying to
tell us.
The whole story went so fast they didn't go into any depth of the details about
Susan's beliefs, nor let her expand on any of those claims, instead, we get the
Reader's Digest condensed version while the journalists make it look like she is
the one who needs to be institutionalized.
This is shallow journalism, fair and square. This doesn't tell me anything about
the complete details on what Susan is trying to share.
However, I do believe Susan is getting something mixed up in the claim of being
THE daughter of God, as we ALL are sons and daughters of God in my belief, and God
is thy Father of mine and yours, if you do belive in God like I do.
I heard mention that she was going to do a final battle with Satan. Where did I
see this recently? Oh yes, a South Park episode where Jesus does battle with Satan
in a PPV bout.
Do the South Park folks call Jesus nuts in the shows? No. But if anyone says they
are a kin of Jesus or another incarnation of Jesus, I would like to be enriched
with the knowledge instead of having the journalists tell me what to
think about the person they're riduculing.
D.T., where the @#$# are you! You need to quit some jobs.

Susan invited Extra! into her home, and into her church and seemed all too willing
to talk about what she is going through. Extra! just let Susan do the talking, they
didn't seem to color the story to me. And her boyfriend even spoke, so what exactly
is wrong with their journalism?
????
that interview was just too weird for me. i was just about to leave my house but i
decided to channel surf for 5 more minutes. luckily,i caught it at the beginning
when they were hyping it. first off, while she looked a little haggard, she
certainly didn't seem as bad as some people had described her in the recent past.
second,yeah shes got issues, but extra sure as hell wasn't looking out for her at
all. wam, bam, thank you ma'am. its like they were patronizing her during the
whole "interview". i don't care who you are,but thats never a good thing. then the
music--they were playing totally dumb alien encounter type-music. for her sake,
I hope they payed her well.

OK. I had some problems of my own I had to deal with for a while, but I'm back.
My computer hiccupped while I was doing the weekly Datebook mailings all night. %-{
Let me explain a few facts first about living in a trailer park...there is nothing
wrong with that. My father and stepmother live in one and my dad worked his
you-know-what off to make it look decent and livable for his retirement years. He
isn't a rich man either, and I'm a low-wage earner living at my mother and stepdad's
house paying rent, but it's better than nothing.
As for the stories you see on TV and read in the newspapers, tabloids, etc. I am a
writer of radio (unpaid of course), and I know how journalists can take a thread of
truth, twist it up, add some sensationlism, and make it look so biased that it leads
the reader into drawing a negative conclusion about the subject being written about.
Take a course in journalism and have an instructor give you a lesson to show you how
it's done.
The tabloid-journalism shows, Extra, etc., have only one goal: TO GET RATINGS!!!
That's why they have to do these type of exploitative stories on celebrities of
today and the past in order to get eyeballs glued to the TV sets. They don't give
a s--- about the people!
The way they treated Susan in the presentation I just saw just leaves me with a sick
feeling about the so-called journalists who have no morals or compassion towards the
people they are writing about. Where did these journalist bastards graduate from?
OK, I have seen Susan make claims on TV about this and that, but I'm not going to
quote them out of context here. The wizards make it look like a sensationalized doom
piece rather than an accurate look at what causes Susan is trying to convey to the
masses.
Religion is none of my business, but I do belive in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost.
If you are an athiest, Jew, wiccan, etc, you still have my respect as our thoughts
differ on religion, but I am not going to make a conclusion about someone's religious
beliefs that seem so bizarre to other people, but may be normal to the rest of us
depending on the claim. Some believe Jesus is returning, some believe he already has,
some don't believe in him at all. What is important is what you believe in religion,
not what other people think about it.
Susan's claim that she died and came back defies scientific explanation, as does
anything of a supernatural event of any degree. I wish she would explain this fully.
Did she accept Jesus Christ as her savior, then he saved her, and she was a born
again Christian? That's what happened to my sister in Texas, but my sister didn't
die, but says we all are dead until we accept Jesus as our savior. I'm going to
stop on this point for now and let the Christian experts take over and expand on that.
I deprogrammed Extra from my VCR settings. After two weeks of watching it, my time
is better spent watching Pokemon cartoons on the WB!
As for the folks who watched the tabloid shows on TV or read them in the rags,
please bear in mind that what you read or see is not the complete story; it rarely
is. You should read more publications on the same subject by different
publishers and viewpoints so you can pick up some points not written on others.
As for stories about Susan Richardson, sadly, you don't have that option to seek out
different viewpoints, I do, however, have webspace to share with Susan and her folks
for immediate use as I do wish to get the complete story by her for uploading for
the readers to see her view directly from the source without any editorializing,
bias, or sensationlism added by the so-called chop shop journalists. Please e-mail me
directly as soon as possible so I can give the readers the point of view the other
guys are not reporting.
to Wayne: thanks for wondering where the @#$# I was, but I have been approving the
posts as fast as I could get a chance to do so. Thanks for bringing up the South
Park angle, an interesting point to consider that nobody in the small town seems to
care whether he is Jesus or not, but they do accept him as he is (son of God, etc.)
I gotta run for now, but I'll be updating the webpages as soon as I receive any
official words. Good thing I don't have any kids or else I would have been stuck
watching Pokemon in a theater all night if they had it
their way.
cheers
d.t.
Update Dec 7
Susan lives in PA and is now living with her brother and is currently looking into
working with children in some capacity.
Despite what the tabloids say, she doesn't "talk to her dolls"... she collects dolls
and teddy bears (and has, in the past, with her good friend, Christine, distributed
them to sick and needy children in area hospitals).
Susan HAS witnessed some "paranormal" activity around her former home over the last
few months, and has documented it, but believe me, she's never said that space ships
are going to take her away! That's just the tabloids again, spinning out the
exploitative garbage they excel in!
Thanks for caring about what's happening to Susan...she's a sweet and kind person
(with a heart as big as all outdoors) and I know she really appreciates everyone's
concern.
I think I can speak for some of her other friends when I say that we all hope the
New Year will be a little easier on her and that she will stop being the subject
of negative and one-sided tabloid articles!
Take care,
John O'Dowd
