by the way, the hour of judgement is at hand

[spatch]

Someone went around last night putting up hand-written notes on the doors of all the churches in and around Davis. I noticed the one on the door of the Haitian church at the corner of College and Morrison. My phone's batteries had died, but the note read something like this, and I'm somewhat paraphrasing near the middle:

To Church and Pastor
This is a message given to me by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have come to tell you that the time of judgement is at hand for Boston. If all churches band together in prayer and fasting, the Lord will show mercy upon us.

There was probably more to the note but you get the gist. It was signed, appropriately enough, Elijah.

There was a similar-looking note on the door of the Methodist church across the street, and I didn't think to go back and check the Baptist church, but someone was busy flyering last night. This morning, however, there were no signs on either the Methodist or Baptist church doors.

It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting slightly-ecumenical call for worship against the End Times, but I'm just hoping that Elijah does not feel compelled to start makin' judgements on the Lord's behalf. It's one thing to be a latter-day prophet, but it's another thing entirely to decide to fulfill that prophecy yourself.

Did they post one on the door of Havurat Shalom, too?

Did you snag me one?!

I particularly like the 'for Boston' part. (God will be drawing data from the initial trial programs run in Boston to ensure a more efficient Apocalypse for all).

That's all they could come up with? Attaching notes to church doors has been downhill since Martin Luther.

Were the flyers Pink, by any chance?

At least that solves the time-zone problem. After all.."The End" always seems to come either at midnight or dawn and you run into the problem of Midnight where? By specifying a city specifically that problem is moot.

It's the end of the world but hey I got to say moot. I'm happy.

When I was 5 years old, Sister Phyllis O'Dowd proclaimed me bound for hell after asking her (in all seriousness) whether or not Noah had a microscope to pick out the male and female bugs so I'm not terribly worried about the fate of my immortal soul in any such judgement. Including my plan to argue with Saint Peter about why hell is even there considering the Biblical promise of forgiveness of sins, I'm probably already booked for a suite with the heat on full.

That being said, this person needs a hobby outside religion.

Totally OT

Do you know the guy who posted the link, or is he a random fan? Because the word is spreadin' my man!

I find it especially amusing since I emailed the link via Colty the day after that episode aired. So, you know, 2 people sending him links to CatTown = TOTAL INUNDATION!
