<P>Yeah, that's really insightful, Joan. Jesus didn't have any betrayers or moles among his followers, nor did David, Paul or anyone else in their 'real church.' You nailed it. </P>

There <BR>>are several of them. As many as Doug suspects? More, perhaps, than <BR>>he fears? Who knows? All I can say is that they email me out of <BR>>the blue, and they often ask me to forward things for them. <BR>>Sometimes, I do; sometimes, I don't. I rely on my own best <BR>>judgment, and I always cut, paste, and strip the headers.<BR>><BR>>What's that you say,
Jerry? You don't like it? Neither, to be <BR>>quite honest, do I. It's my feeling that a real church wouldn't <BR>>have moles; a real church wouldn't need them. By my definition, a <BR>>real church is a voluntary gathering of men and women who worship, <BR>>think and pray as they see fit without fear of retaliation (either <BR>>financial, spiritual or social) from their pastor. The members of a <BR>>real church feel free to speak their dissent out loud and in public <BR>>-- before God, before their pastor, and before their fellow <BR>>parishioners. If Christ Church were a real church, if its members <BR>>were truly free, then they wouldn't me emailing me. They'd be <BR>>speaking without fear to their elders and their pastor. They <BR>>wouldn't be turning for succor to
a sympathetic lesbian Jew.<BR>><BR>>You don't like that I forwarded your email, Jerry? Then do <BR>>something about it. Take your concern to your pastor. Ask him why <BR>>it is that Christ Church seems to generate more moles per capita <BR>>than the Catholic Church during the Spanish Inquisition. When he <BR>>lies to you (and he will), try whispering the word "Duck" in his <BR>>ear. If he blushes, let me know and I will rejoice because at least <BR>>he's still capable of shame. I suspect, however, that he'll just <BR>>hide under his desk and write another nasty Blog and Mablog.<BR>><BR>>"You can't hide your lying eyes,<BR>>And your smile is a thin disguise.<BR>>I thought by now you'd realize<BR>>There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes."<BR>><BR>>The Eagles. I
hope you'll keep them in mind for next year's Trinity <BR>>Fest as a smart alternative to Lynyrd Skynyrd.<BR>><BR>>Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment<BR>>www.auntie-establishment.com<BR>><BR>>PS: Do yourself a favor, Mr. Owen. Reread "Labor of Love." I just <BR>>did. Yes, its author chose to remain anonymous, just like those <BR>>poor Christ Church moles. So what? The temple of your soul is on <BR>>fire, Mr. Owen. A man has yelled stop, drop, and roll. Do you <BR>>really need to know his name?<BR>><BR>>_____________________________________________________<BR>>List services made available by First Step Internet, serving the <BR>>communities of the Palouse since 1994.
