1. And for our first "weird but true" headline

'Spirit of Satan' may be considered by U. S. Supreme Court

By Dana Schmidt

What is "the spirit of Satan?" The U.S. Supreme Court may have to answer that question if it accepts a recently appealed Iowa case in which an Iowa woman claimed a pastor defamed her by calling her "the spirit of Satan."

The controversy began in March 1999 at the United Methodist Church of Shell Rock. In an attempt to resolve problems within the church, the Rev. Jerrold Swinton, a former district superintendent of the Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church, visited Shell Rock.

After Swinton's visit, a letter from him was circulated to both members and non-members of the church. Swinton said in the letter he was in despair when Jane Kliebenstein told him the current pastor must leave the community.

In the letter, Swinton said a church conference should be called to "propose that Jane Kliebenstein be stripped of church offices. It is understood that if she continues to cause dissension, she will next be asked to leave the Shell Rock UMC."

The letter also said the congregation had "allowed the spirit of Satan to work in their midst."

3. She didn't deserve the compliment

[kimchi]

23. I couldn't define it adequately...

but I guarantee I'd know the spirit of Satan if I saw it.

And we can further narrow it down to somewhere within the BFEE. Poor Jane couldn't even conceive of that kind of evil.

[TrogL]

37. I have seen the spirit of Satan

he walks in our midst.

He glares out of the eyes of the religiously insane.

[Mr. Brown of MD]

2. Red Leader, standing by

10am lecture, but that means I don't need to go to sleep until 1:30 at the latest...

Spending my time doing some IRC chatting and attempting to do some writing.

-CollegeDude
And possibly pick up a hot chick while I'm at it (or not)

[WilliamPitt]

4. You don't have my poison

I'm sure of it.

My poison is a literal holdover from 1968. Not in spirit, but in fact, from 1968.

Yeah baby.

:hippie:

[Khephra]

5. Hey All of Yah!

Dude and Will! Long time fucking see in a thread of mine!

[Khephra]

6. So what's everyone doing up?

My excuse is that my roommate is out, so her fucking cat is fighting with our dog and cats all night. It sounds like someone trying to break in right now.

[VelmaD]

10. I'm blaming it on...

all the energy bouncin around from the Autumn Equinox. Day and night being equal today and the wheel of the year turning and all that kind of thing.

God I need a bottle of whiskey.

Darth Velma

[Khephra]

14. All I got is Pepsi

and catnip.

:evilgrin:

Very weak catnip....

[Mr. Brown of MD]

17. Back and ready to rock

Nice to know I was missed. :)

How has stuff been going with you, Kef?

-CollegeDude
Same old, for the most part

[Khephra]

18. Hard...life has been very, very hard

I'm not going to pretend it hasn't been.

But I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, so it all looks good from here.

:hi:

[Mr. Brown of MD]

24. A light is progress!

As long as the light isn't a train, that's far better than it could be. :)

And the light is not often a train. Glad to hear things are looking up for you as well.

-CollegeDude
Moving in the right direction

[Khephra]

11. I hope you know....

That because of all the BS that I've had to deal with....

You're about to see a killer article out of me.

:evilgrin:

I'm too pissed not to write.

[WilliamPitt]

16. MOTHER FUCKER BETTER BE WRITING

Else he is disobeying a direct order.

<---- Don't make Ali mad.

[Khephra]

19. Don't worry...

I think I have it now.

;-)

[VelmaD]

21. Woohoo...toppy Will

You're so cute when your assetive. ;-)

[DrGonzoLives]

7. Me up

Me should get sleep, but me not want too...

[Khephra]

8. Are we going to see A Perfect Circle together?

I swear you're going to at least be drunk beforehand. You were too stiff for the last Tool show.

[DrGonzoLives]

9. I was counting on a contact buzz

Did I get one? Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Fucking cheap ass pot being smoked there.

[Khephra]

12. Yeah, but you got bored by the music

SINNER!

;-)

[DrGonzoLives]

13. Only towards the end

chiefly because, well, I wasn't buzzing...

[Khephra]

15. Have you got the new PC CD yet?

.

[DrGonzoLives]

20. I didn't know there was a new one

I didn't get the first one, though, either.

But I did get Manson's new CD a while ago - excellent.

[populistmom]

22. I can never fall asleep before 1:30

And I get up at 8 every morning. I blame in on the fact my mom worked second shift when I was in the womb.

My poison, I'd like a nice Merlot, but I'll settle for a Michelob Ultra.

[Andy_Stephenson]

25. I'm rolling as fast as I can here.

[proud patriot]

26. looks like I got here just in time

:smoke:

[Rowdyboy]

27. I am so damned tired

and I have NO idea why I'm still blathering here while there's a naked man in the next room sound asleep. I need to get out more.

[JCMach1]

28. I have been up since 5:45

It's 10AM here now

:)

[Khephra]

29. one more time................

oh precious son, step away from the window
go back to sleep

lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come

counting bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drum

pay no mind to the rabble
pay no mind to the rabble

head down, go to sleep
to the rhythm of the war drums

hey, don't mind what the other voices say
they don't care about you, well I do, well I do
safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
see, they don't give a fuck about you, like i do.

just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
go back to sleep
go back to sleep

lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
count the bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums

pay no mind to the rabble
pay no mind to the rabble

head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from
a will to survive and a voice of reason

I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and your choices
they're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum

the boogeymen are coming
the boogeymen are coming

keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

stay with me
safe and ignorant
just stay with me
hold you and protect you from the other one
the evil ones
go back to
sleep

[WilliamPitt]

30. and

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

31. Wheat Ale

just got back from badn practife and we were drinkin' somethin' called "wheat ale". Is really, really, really good.

Pash the shalt.

[WilliamPitt]

33. Yer gonna poop bread tomorrow, you will

from all that wheat. :)

[VOX]

32. Another night owl checking in...

Haven't even eaten dinner yet. Talk about running behind!

Cheers to all late-nighters -- :toast:

[SOteric]

34. I'm up.

As I so often am at this time.

I'm trying to write something and it's eating me alive.

[WilliamPitt]

35. About what?

Write about what you want to write about.

Just write.

It'll come.

[SOteric]

38. I appreciate the encouragement.

I'm not struggling to find words to put on a page. I thank whatever evil gods or besotted muse may be responsible for the fact that I've never been short of topics on which to expound at extraordinary and dubiously exciting length.

The subject matter I'm currently grappling with is intense and emotional. The exercise is a bit like carving out your own heart with a butter knife every evening, poking at it, belt-sanding off a layer and then stuffing it back in all tidy and neat.

[WilliamPitt]

39. Ah

The fun stuff.

Write a letter to whomever is the dart.

[SOteric]

40. Every

other day or so, for the last several years.

[WilliamPitt]

41. Mm.

OK. I'm fresh out of advice. A wise man knows when to retreat. :loveya:

[SOteric]

42. You're incredibly sweet

to have offered your assistance.

[WilliamPitt]

43. We try

:hug:

[Bush_has_Parvo]

36. I'm here for the iniquity---is there a line?

I just have to down my Alka-Seltzer, a stomach ache has brought me to the den this morning. :evilfrown:
