absalom, a complete asshole, met an untimely death, and even though he caused untold trouble to his father, david still wept bitterly over his son, 'absalom,oh my son absalom!

" that one still gets to me.. and at the end of one of rush's more emotional songs, distant early warning (1984), geddy calls out "absalom!

absalom!

S o S 8:8

"We have a little sister that does not have any breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day that she will be spoken for?"

My brothers tormented me without relent on this........

Judges 3:17-25

That's where Ehud kills Eglon, Moab's king, while he was just easing nature in the cool interior room.”

17 And he proceeded to present the tribute to Eg´lon the king of Mo´ab. Now Eg´lon was a very fat man.

20 And E´hud came to him as he was sitting in his cool roof chamber that he had to himself. And E´hud went on to say: “A word of God I have for you.” At that he rose up from his throne. 21 Then E´hud thrust in his left hand and took the sword off his right thigh and plunged it into his belly. 22 And the handle kept going in also after the blade so that the fat closed in over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and the fecal matter began to come out. 23 And E´hud proceeded to go out through the air hole, but he closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. 24 And he himself went out.

And his servants came and began looking, and there the doors of the roof chamber were locked. So they said: “He is just easing nature in the cool interior room.” 25 And they kept waiting until they were ashamed, and, look! there was no one opening the doors of the roof chamber. At this they took the key and opened them, and, look! their lord was fallen to the earth dead!

What a crappy way to go, eh?

Those crazy annointed

i knew several of the annointed over my life.. once when working door to door we were rejected and the annointed brother said loudly as we were leaving, "he will make good fertilizer for the ground after armageddon.

the annointed brother i worked with as a little kid used to take me to dairy queen on hot summer days to drink out of the water fountain at the back.. one brother who claimed to be of the annointed worked at the equal opportunity agency.. one guy about my age who i was friends with at bethel discovered he was of the annointed a few years ago, many years after he was baptized.

i think people will continue to make this discovery forever.. one annointed guy used to rub my knuckles together whenever he shook my hand and also used to grip my knee joint very hard, both hurt a lot.

They say pioneering is not for everyone, but a university

education is very important. They will offer up their children on the

altar of education.

Lemme get this straight, right hand is laying the "more donations, pick up the pace!" guilt trip, and the left hand is saying "Education and working are not of import and all who pursue these things are in leagues with the dark lord himself"

Think of the pressure that puts on families who live hand to mouth! Brother Soandso has to work excessivly to make ends meet because the GB said"better education = sacrificing your children on an altar! How does one make ends meet and on what planet does that even make sense?

"And BTW brother Soandso, I have not seen you at the contribution box lately"

when a guy does this on a friday night, it's because he has way too much time on his hands.

sorry if your avatar isn't posted.. so, what do you do, that proves that you have too much time on your hands?

this one time, my husband and I made a muratic acid bomb and threw it into a cemetary where the local prisoners were doing grounds keeping. When that thing exploded, the reaction of the guards was pricless! I also tried to kill some wasps with a can of WD-40 and a lighter, my mom was not impressed with my homemade flame thrower.
