Hello, From Esther's Father

[JamesH.B]

Good afternoon, everyone! My name is James and I'm Esther's father. She's told me about the Godly people on here and I decided to take a look.


I currently do not attend a church since the local "Baptist" church does not follow the Bible to the letter. Instead, I hold services on Sundays with my family and the family of Esther's former suitor. I was raised as a Baptist and have felt Jesus' love for me for as long as I can remember. My favorite Bible verse is 1 Timothy 2:11-12, for obvious reasons.



I look forward to fellowshipping with all of you!

James,


What a lovely daughter you have. Please tell us truthfully - why is she not yet married? I have one suggestion: get that ex-suitor out of her life and out of your religious worship. If he was worthy to keep around Esther's life might be better in many ways.


Deeply in Him,
BrotherLarry

The sas truth is that there aren't any unmarried True Christian(TM) men in our area. Also, Samuel hasn't been around in ages, thank the Lord. The rest of his family is wonderful, though.

Look, SIR, I don't know what you've heard, but I have not done anything wrong, so you showing up here just makes you look a bit dramatic and paranoid.

My family is plain awful as it should be!

Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

My joy and pride is my True™ True Christian™ family and its head, Jesus Christ!

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Amen, Brother! I have come to hate my children so much lately that I have locked the door when they go outside to get the mail, feed the dog, run to the neighbor's for a cup of sugar, or sometimes when they wake up groggy in the middle of the night looking for a glass of water. I can't wait until they are all grown and on their own or married or whatever because the noise of this house is driving me legitimately bananas and I think it might be better for everyone involved if they just stay away for a while.


As per Jesus' desires of course.

Sister Mary, I feel your pain! It's so hard to tolerate them once they learn to talk. Fortunately my boys are mostly out of the house - I rarely know where they are - but I'm afraid I threw a bit of a tantrum on Thursday when American Airlines tried to upgrade them. My husband sorted it out, explaining that had we wished to sit within earshot of five of our children for 8+ hours, we would have bought them seats in first class.

Hi - how are you getting on with your new JpHONE?

Sister Mitza, as you know I'm not one to get overly enthused by the latest in technology but the only word I can use to describe it is divine. The best Christmas gift ever! It's just so intuitive, as though it knows exactly what I want to do or write. I've had a couple of problems contacting certain people (well, only Brother Larry) but apart from that the transition from secular telephony has been seamless. I'd really recommend it. The appropriate verse function for signing off texts to the UnSaved is a real bonus.

Re: Hello, From Esther's Father

It's great to have appropriate technology available. Recently I was provided with a secular device plus added incentives for some reason and it took me several weeks to turn everything off I didn't want. You know I've often thought that better use could be made of aircraft space, especially when the double deckers arrived.

An isolated the upper deck (or luggage hold) would be the perfect environment for infants, happy in one another's company, no being woken up for force feeding when they're clearly not interested, competitive singing. I never travel with luggage so they could use the whole thing as far as I'm concerned.

Psalm 55:5-6 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

1. I hope you've been getting my texts to let you know I'm thinking of you.
2. You know any time you need the boys taken off your hands I'm just an iPhone call away - and I promise if you give me a general time of the call - in American time - I'll be sure not to be on my knees communing with the Lord on behalf of some sinful homer.
3. Thanks for the blood pudding. I immediately took care of it in the manner I felt best.

Have you tried lamprey? Although I can't recommend eating them live as a boiled potage they're altogether memorable with a side of elver pie. A word of warning: do avoid the jellied eels, if offered, they're invariably disappointing.

[Joanna Lytton-Vasey]

Re: Hello, From Esther's Father

You have to be careful with lampreys, Sister. Henry I (either a French king of England or an English Duke of Normandy, depending on whether you are on the wrong or right side of history) died of a surfeit of lampreys. They were French ones though, eaten in France, so almost certainly over-seasoned and prepared in unhygienic conditions. Plus they don't have scales.

The only other interesting fact about Henry I is that he had a son called Fulk. That's not a name you hear too often these days, is it?

A little off-topic, but did you know that Fulk's half sister Matilda, (well, he had 4 half sisters called Matilda, but one of them) married the son of King Fulk of Jerusalem?


I think we should go back to those days and take over Jerusalem again. Wrest it from those hook-nosed kikes and mooslimb terrorists so that it can be restored to the rightful descendants of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.


I further propose that the first revivalist King of Jerusalem be the Godly Donald Trump, to be appointed in 2024 (if he's not named POTUS for life).

Re: Hello, From Esther's Father

Any protestant is better than any papist and the way popes or cardinals or the French obsess over Jerusalem is quite unbalanced. In the fawning tome "Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" we're berated with Romish propaganda, Catharism and magic sounding words. Well, magic to them – all Christians reject magic. These fools did not.

Although little known today, Rene d'Anjou - "Good King Rene' as he was the years immediately preceding the Renaissance. Born in 1408, during his life he came to hold an awesome array of titles. Among the most important were count of Bar, count of Provence, count of Piedmont, count of Guise, duke of Calabria, duke of Anjou, duke of Lorraine, king of Hungary, king of Naples and Sicily, king of Aragon, Valencia, Majorca and Sardinia - and, perhaps most resonant of all, king of Jerusalem.

Jesus was explicit when He withdrew status from His former Chosen People and transferred it to us. Many usurpers have thrown cockerels in the ring but however vibrant their plumage Jerusalem has remained.

Isaiah 2:2-6 It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

How "resonant" that popish apologists, seeking the miasma of respectability, should invoke a French hussy:

In its earlier phases Rene d'Anjou's career seems to have been in some obscure way associated with that of Jeanne d'Arc.….first impressed herself on history in 1429, when she appeared at the fortress of Vaucouleurs, a few miles up the Meuse from Domremy. Presenting herself to the commandant of the fortress, she announced her 'divine mission' to save France from the English invaders.….she requested a special audience with the duke of Lorraine Rene's father-in-law and great uncle. In deference to her request, Jeanne was granted an audience with the duke at his capital in Nancy. When she arrived there, Rene d'Anjou is known to have been present. And when the duke of Lorraine asked her what she wished, she replied explicitly, in words that have constantly perplexed historians, "Your son [in-law], a horse and some good men to take me
