So I’ve decided to try public shaming again. It’s a New England thing along with dunking stools, stock and pillory and burning at the stake. So I e-mailed this, the first of a real-time series about what happened to Me and Lynn the summer of 2011 at the hands of Paul and Matt Doolittle.
My name is Art Joly and my Husband is Lynn Shackelford. We live together in a 32’ class “A” motorhome towing our motorcycles behind us on a trailer. I’m writing to you because over the next few months I want you to see the timeline for the crime committed by members and leadership of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Manchester, NH.
It’s easy for people to paint me and Lynn in a bad light, I’m an adult living with Asperger’s Syndrome, I was officially diagnosed in 1993 and I suspect that Lynn is the same as me. We don’t see the world the same way that you do and most of the time we figure out why people behave the way they do through rules we’ve deduced over the years.
For me the first full weekend in May is time Rhinebeck weekend named for the automobile show held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY. We don’t go anymore, we have no more cars that need parts that can only be found at car shows, and all of our friends are long gone. For the last few visits, being at the car show was like visiting a cemetery. But that’s just a little background. This is the weekend that in the spring of 2011 Paul Doolittle dragged me into a business arrangement that he had with my husband that I knew nothing about and for the most honorable of reasons I made the worst decision of my life so far.
I agreed to repay Lynn’s debt to Paul.
Paul agreed to provide me a space to work on his farm and an internet connection in addition to physical help moving and shipping stuff I sold from Lynn’s stash.
So you can have a feel for how Paul Doolittle and members of the leadership at the UUC, Manchester, NH manipulated us I’ll tell you what he did next after the right mount of time has passed.
