By virtue of the Authority vested in me,

Post #16,977 by Ashton 11/6/01 4:57:12 PM Reply	By virtue of the Authority vested in me, as Minister in the Universal Life Church, [card-carrying - actualtruefact] I hereby declare that the thread regarding the unknown events involving an airport, a woman and some Authorized men: should be excommunicated. Left unread and forlorn, in order to better purify one's soul of.. the Evil effects of insufficient Knowledge to even piss up a rope. This until and unless: further corroborating evidence filters into our tiny little minds, with sufficient gravitas as to support/deny our prejudiced leaps to Conclusions. Awomen.. sistern, brethren Pace pace O mio Dio Dear Lord, please protect me from the wrath of those who Know (also from: your Followers). Exorcisms of the Certainty Demon performed on request and with suitable donation for progress of The Work. Sincere contrition is prerequisite.

(or Dudess as the case may be) Then for the umm nervous when in the presence of limitless Wisdom, we also permit: Oh Thou whose boots I am unworthy even to lick, whose brilliance dazzles mine eyes even when closed, with the brightness of A Thousand Suns: In abject supplication I grovel before thee and ask, "What sayest Thou regarding ___?" HTH We are very pleased to have been of service to a needful world.
