A Startling admission from Pastor Marty Braemer about the poster named "Over It"


For several weeks now, one or two posters on the Hyles-Anderson forum of the FFF have noticed that an extremely vitriolic and unpleasant poster named Over It shares many characteristics with "Pastor" Marty Braemer. After weeks of denying that he is Over It, Marty admitted last night that yes, he did create the screen name Over It. As so many of these Hyles-Anderson pastors will do, he then excused his actions (and his deceptions about it) by claiming that he does not post as Over It (although he created the screen name). Others, he claims, post as Over It.

Here's an overview for regular readers of my blog, just to give you a better idea of the Hyles-Anderson mentality regarding the conduct of a pastor:


Over It first appeared in the HAC forum in late January 2004.

On January 23, in the Hyles-Anderson forum, Marty Braemer rather rashly admitted to reading my blog (yet again) and reported back to the HAC forum on what was there. Here's the post, with an opener by Clarksville snipped for brevity:

>Well Bassenco won't. I popped in on her blog the other day. Apparently she's telling her loyal readers that her doctor has told her to stay off the forum for health reasons. She claims she is tired of wasting her time debating with the Hyles-IFB-KJVO ignorant boobs who won't listen to her wisdom. She even wrote that she told her doctor she wasn't going to take her anxiety medicine anymore.


[Note: I've never taken anxiety medicine.] This was certainly not the first time that Marty reported the contents of my blog to the HAC forum. However Marty's overall obsession with those who oppose the corruption of Hyles-Anderson may have been getting alarming. People cautioned him about his growing obsession. So Marty disappeared and Over It appeared on January 26. Over It made a preliminary post on talebearing, and then settled in on a thread where a poster named "nothing else matters" warned Marty Braemer about his obsession with these words:

Pastor Marty...
Posted by nothing else matters on Jan-26-04 2:16pm

You have got to get off of this forum. I mean this when I tell you that it is hurting your image immensely: I believe that you are becoming obsessed with this thing. At first you use to be a casual poster, however, when you start logging on at 12:30 in the morning and various other times throughout the day you move from casual to habitual. What in God's dear name makes you think that you are going to change these people regarding these issues with Jack Hyles. LET IT GO MAN! You don't have to defend Jack's honor or his reputation... what you need to do is start worrying a little more about your own.


So rather than get into this rather embarrassing thread that warns him he is becoming obsessed and is losing his self control, Marty uses "Over It," who actually started out as fairly moderate.

I don't believe that Marty created Over It and walked away to let others use the screen name. That doesn't even make sense. Read the Over It posts on January 26th 2004. That's Marty all right, defending himself through a second screen name while he uses his primary screen name to pretend to be too dignified and self confidant to answer.

We also see Mary using Over It to come in as one of those many alleged outside observers who periodically come in to give their "unbiased" opinion. This post by Marty's second screen name, Over It, also appeared on the same day as that which I quoted above:

What Is The Point?
Posted by Over It on Jan-26-04 4:35pm

What is the point of those who feel the need to tell of Dr Hyles faults? He died.

And please, spare us the soap opera melodramatic answer of "we're warning the innocent, restoring the victims, and standing against the Hyles philosophies being perpetuated by the new regime in Hammond and across the country."

You post to the same twenty people over and over and over and over and over and over and over


Of course, with Marty's obsession with my blog and personal history, the following post by Over It from March 1 should have tipped me off:

[quote from another poster snipped for brevity.]

Apparently you haven't been in awhile. Lots of new people. So who does hag Bassenco reach on her idiotic blog anyway??? Tuned in for the lastest episode of My Deranged Fantasy of Life in an IFB Girls College Dorm lately?


And, of course, what's the point of a second screen name that covers your identity, if you cannot pat yourself on the back once in a while for being such an intelligent, mature guy? Marty's cool with a little self-congratulation, as evident in this post:

THRONHILL DEMANDS ATTENTION, AGAIN!!!!
Posted by Over It on Mar-10-04 3:50pm
(In reply to: BRAEMER DEMANDS PROOF, AGAIN!!!! posted by Thornhill on Mar-10-04 10:50am)

Thornhill and Vic remain the FFF Version of the Mitchell Brothers who rose to fame in the 1970's producing smut X rated movies.

Now Vic and Thornhill keep spreading the same trash in here over and over and over and over and over to satisfy their never ending fascination with filth.

Your posts are not changing Pastor Braemer. His aren't changing you. You and Vic want to wallow in the Nischik Cess Pool of life and be the center of attention in here. Braemer actually let this go but YOU guys come on here and stir it all up with your nonesense movie of the week teasers. Grow up, jerk weed!

This is a DEAD issue. Now go away and find the meaning of life or a wife or a JOB......


Pretty soon, of course, empowered by anonymity and the sense of thrill any person gets who allows himself to fall into cowardice, Marty and whoever else shared Over It were going hog wild. Of course, as time has passed there was the necessity of lying to maintain the secrecy. But lies to many HAC pastors are inconveniences. Actually, it's probably MY fault that they have to lie, because I won't go away. Here are some samples of Over It/Marty's excessiveness:

Hello Bass

Miss me? I'm back, baby, and I'll never leave you again!

Give it up BASSENCO

(In reply to: Over It uses the same insults as Marty, too posted by BASSENCO on Jul-29-04 5:11am)

I am not Pastor Marty Braemer nor am I an HAC grad.

I threw in the Trailer Trash Barbie comment because someone else brought it up the other day. Little paranoid there Bassy. Hey maybe I'll drop in on the blog later so you can think it's PMB.

You're an idiot!

Jeff Smith is Bass

You pharisaical wind bag, hag! You are mentally disturbed. All your supporters in here are only enabling your sick mind.

Isn't it great to watch her usual supporters with their mouths open as they witness the Bassenco Mental Melt Down????

She's worse then an alcoholic. At least there's Reformers Unanimous for addiction recovery. She's a Bass-a-holic ... addicted to herself. I guess the Presbies could start Retards Unanimous!


When you stop to think that Marty and perhaps some of his pals are hiding behind a screen name to hurl insults at a woman, then it becomes all the more ironic to see them talk about anybody else's "sick mind." But then, where would Hyles-Anderson be without the blindness of its followers?
