Re: D. Bernard shares his thoughts about HolyMagic
I was thinking today about saving the hair that is cut to keep my hair off my ears and collar. I will keep the clippings in my pocket for protection and other special powers. When I pray for someone, I'll sprinkle a few clippings on them. God will be honoring my obedience of keeping my hair short!

I could start a new movement!
uh... just run it through the microwave on high before you sprinkle any on me. No offense, can't be too careful.
Especially since I started catching up with PastorPoster and have become less of a player in this "protection" game.

I'm reading Lyndon Johnson's biography: "Master of the Senate", covering the years when LBJ was Senate Majority Leader.
LBJ's allies wondered why he wouldn't take on Joe McCarthy even when he had the votes in his corner for censure.
McCarthy and McCarthyism raged on for two more years, destroying many innocent people and ruining many careers before LBJ finally used his influence to ram through censureship on the Wisconsin demagogue.
LBJ knew his chief financiers, reactionary Texas oil men like Clint Murchinson and H. L. Hunt, backed McCarthy to the hilt and politics ALWAYS takes precedence over principle for ambitious men.
Bernard knows he'll never be General Superintendent by taking on Stoneking directly. There's still a bunch of Stoneking fanatics with rose-colored glasses who can't or won't accept the fact he's promoting heresy.
If Bernard and others are really Watchmen on the Wall, there comes a time when you have to use your influence and aura to take on what you consider to be "false doctrine" and the propagators of such.
Lyndon Johnson's beloved hill country and Johnson City are in the Austin area.
Kinda ironic.
Joe McCarthy was right.

He died a drunkard and a pitiful caricature.
Now I know you'll slavish love on any Republican; heck when David Vitter the super "family values" senator here in Louisiana got caught running whores, you'd probably say he was just trying to help the underprivileged.

But to try and defend Joe McCarthy?
That is really tying yourself up in knots.
TimLan! How you been? uh... do you know my friend Ferd?
