How damned appropriate!
rec’d.

It would be nice if the Church lived by what it preached.

A story from My youth. My parents were at friends paying cards. My sister and I were in the next room watching television. The front door opened and in came those friends daughter who was supposed to be away becoming a Nun.

She promptly went into the room where the adults were plyying cards, and had to explain why she was home, because they were very upset at Her return. She before starting Her story pulled sliding doors between the room we were in and the one the adults were in closed.

We as children went over to listen to what was about to go on.

She began explaining that She was sent to the basement to fetch something, and became lost. There was a huge door at the end of a long hall. It was unlocked so she went in. The long hall continued inside but on both sides were crypts with little name tags on each one from the floor to cieling. It was lit by several bulbs hanging from the ceiling giving some light but not easy to see. She began reading the tags. Each said baby born to father X and Sister X. I use X but there were real fathers and sisters names on those tags.

She explained She fell to the floor after reading many of the tags in a faint or shock. She said she lay there and eventually began in Her mind trying to explain what She had found. She for a long time kept looking up at the crypts, and down the hall at the number of them. She said She tried to come up with another explanation to what was around Her, but could not envision one.

Fearing that if anyone found out that She had discovered this what might happen, and that She could not longer have the faith it would take to continue to become a Nun, She desided She must leave. She crept back upstairs carefully avoiding others to Her Room. Again She tried to justifiy what She had found, but not being able to snuck out and made Her way Home.

Her father got up and went and retrieved a Bible, and made Her sware on it that this was true. She did and went upstairs to Her room. The Adults sat quietly for a time, which was not normal for them. We quickly went back to the television so not to be caught having listened.

After only a few words my parents suggested that maybe they should call it a night and leave, and evidently Her parents agreed. We all said our good nights putting on our coats and left. As we got on the porch we heard our parents say how sorry they were, and we left.

I am only relaying this story exactly how it happened. I can’t prove what the girl told them was the truth, only that Her demeanor through telling the story should have given Her an Academy Award if it wasn’t. From many things told to me of things in the Church I would have no doubts that it was.

I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry while watching that video. Either would be appropriate, depending on your POV.

OMG! Any way you could reach the gal to find out? I’m almost shockproof, but every once in a while…

Thanks, elliot, good stuff!

I’m Sixty Five Now nad was eight when it happened. She all all her relativess are probably dead now, and I haven’t had any contact with any relative’s in fifty five years.

Good God!

It doesn’t seem possible then. Bummer.

Hey Priest were involved in the Crusades, were with the Spanards while they killed the indians in the America’s for their gold. Much of that gold ende up in their chuches. The church has never been pure, and has been involved in much of the worlds problems.

Just like in politics their spin outways the truth, and the belivers overlook all the bad.

Loved the flick Ellie!! Seems the Evangelical Religious has deemed my balls and all they make are Sacred??? Fuck talk about intrusive.. Just like the Stupak amendment reaches into every woman body and taken away their right’s over their own body… Talk about communism where the state owns all…

Awesome staging. How appropriate. No one does black humor like Pythoms. Thanks Elliott.

What a disturbing tale, iremember. How disturbing for you to hear as a child, too!
