A slow laying of hands

[Mrs. Rogers]

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. (1 Timothy 5:22)

This verse appears to be the driving force behind the conversion of many a wiccan to True Christianity ... indeed, young MoonFlower had to undergo a long and arduous healing process, draining the strength of many a True Christian™ man; at the time it was a complete success, judging by the shouts of "Glory!" and, "sweet, sweeeet JESUS!" that echoed throughout Freehold. PRAISE.

But I wonder if 1 Timothy 5:22 is also a warning regarding men-on-men healing ministries; do not rush to lay hands upon your Brother - take your time, think it through first - is he really in need, or is there something more sinister going on here?

Far be it from me to give advice to True Christian™ men, but I would recommend that if your Brother asks for a hands-on healing of his pulled groin muscle, report him immediately to the Church Elders.

if your Brother asks for a hands-on healing of his pulled groin muscle, report him immediately to the Church Elders.

So the Landover Church Elders can lay their hands instead?

Only in your disgusting altar boy-meets-Pope dreams, Fish bait.

The Church Elders will determine whether or not the request for a laying of manly hands is innocent, or a furtive attempt at a little homer-erotic action. Usually it is Bobby Joe who bravely volunteers to assess the situation; when it comes to men's health, he is something of a lay physician, you see.
