Mystical thinking and the senile anointed

JimmyPage

There's an old lady in the local hall who can't keep my wife straight from her sister. She's constantly getting the children and the husbands of each of them confused, and therefore puts her foot in her mouth alot. And, oh yeah- she's one of the anointed!

A friend of mine who attends very sporadically told me that the old woman likes him because he did some yard work for her one time. "It's always good to have one of the anointed on your good side," he told me, "You never know- it might be just enough to get you into the new world!"

Suggest to your friend he needs a back up plan.

If he plans to ride someone elses coattails into Paradise, he needs to get over to the synagogue and make some more friends.

Zechariah 8:23

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days shall ten men take hold, out of all languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.

Thay's catholic style thinking. It's how the standard catholic sees the saints, from what i understand. Actually, it's RELIGIOUS thinking, most religions have their holymen or women, that the layity look up to. Even in animist tribalism, the people look up to their shamans. I guess you could say that it's normal.

I get your drift, JimmyPage, and that kind of thinkiing is pathetic. I feel sorry for the poor guy, but at least he's not dragging himself to every meeting beating and going out in the service circus.

Edited to add: Hopefully she'll have a better memory in heaven LOL).
