Episode II The Empire Strikes Back

[minutus (minutus)]

Note: For best effect you should read this as you slowly scroll it up the screen...

The Mother Ship, commanded by Darth Schallerious, has a plan to win back the masses to the Dark Side. He has dispatched his mouthpiece minion, Jar-Jar John Love, to contact remnants of Imperial forces scattered about the galaxy and regroup them for another assault on the Rebels.

Love contacted the Imperial garrison commander in Florida, Darth Moses Baldwin, last week. Baldwin had tried to resist Mace Windoo Kelley for not being "one with Paastuh's force" and led a contingent of 20 Imperial diehards out of Kelley's church to an Imperial stronghold near by last November. They await further orders.

On another front in Florida, Bill Cannon was ordered to return to the Mother Ship to strengthen the garrison. He is selling his domicile and preparing for the transfer.

Despite this ominous Imperial activity, news from other sectors is heartening. Pastors from Russia have sent a disaffiliation communique to the Mother Ship, calling for genuine repentance before they will consider any further relationship. No one is holding their breath...

You are so good at this, minutus....I love it! Scott says..."it's a gift...he's got a gift."

I can hear the light sabers humming. Victory is eminent.

May the "Force" be with you.

Not to change the subject, but... you've got to check out the new format for GGWO's web site.
Shat-happens, did you have anything to do with designing this?
It says "Carl" all over it. Not to mention a bit of "Schaller".

<font color="ff0000"><font size="+1">Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. </font></font><font color="0000ff">(John 8:7)</font>

[j_graz (j_graz)]

Jim Faucett nailed it:

Let him who can't tell the difference between stone-casting and biblical correction go and learn that he errs not knowing the Scriptures.

1 Tim. 5:20 (ESV)
As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

Matthew 18:17 (ESV)
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Ephes. 5:11 (ESV)
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

And you should know this one by heart, although you may have precious little understanding of it:

Romans 16:17 (ESV)
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.

I would say in addition:

Was Paul throwing stones in 2 Tim 4:10 when he said tha Demas..."has forsaken me, having loved this present world" ?

Or when he said "...Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm"?

Was John throwing stones in 3 John 9 when he names Diotrephes saying he"....loves to have the preeminence..."?

P. Graziano,
ABout 11 years ago I came to Baltimore. I was alone and having a rought time. We were at a little get together at Shiela Bohlen's home and you sat with me on the back wall and built me up. You told me I would be fine and to trust the Christ in me. I thank God for you to this day. I'm not sure if you would remember me, but I will never forget you :-)

[j_graz (j_graz)]

Absolutley I remember you! We sat on a small stone wall near the picnic table and talked.
e-mail me mawagaman@yahoo.com I would love to see how you're doing!

twhtbs - you seem to be very good at taking a verse out of context.

Jesus was dealing with a bunch of Pharisees and Scribes who tried to set him up with a woman who they had obviously set-up.

On FactNet we are dealing with years of marking, slandering, sexual immorality, abuses of finances, etc., and etc. If you cannot see the problems in "The magic kingdom," shame on you. You see the emperor is truly naked, and so BTW is his replacement.
