Dear Lord,
The Presbyterian Church in Putney is selling the rights to its steeple for $20,000. Hutchinsons Telecommunications, a Sydney mobile phone company, has offered the Church $14,000 and the installation a lovely new electronically enhanced celtic style cross to transmit yuppy phone calls over the heads of us all but church officials are holding out for another $6,000.*
Well Lord is this your idea or are you gonna lose it and upend thier steeples over for turning the house of your father into an electromagnetic reciever and the symbol of your sacrafice into a money making, glow in the dark message bouncing radio beacon? Is having radio transmission equipment installed to the roofs of Churches throughout Christendom a secret plot by Satan to send subliminal messages against Jehovahs people or is this all part of the Divine Plan of the Ages?
Is installing electromagnetic lightning attractors to the high points on all of Babylon the Great's buildings so Rutherford riding the green horse can more accurately direct lightning bolts against his enemies? Hey Jesus who's in charge up there anyway? Watch that ol' Judge lord or before you know it you'll be out in the cold and Joe Booze 'll be in yer seat peering curiously into your dads right ear and eyeing off the chariot keys.
happy birthday, unclefluffybruce
