Guest bat Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 I was sanding an eye, when it fell on the floor. Round things can get really far away before you know it. I looked and looked, and could not find it. Jen suggested that i pray for guidance. I said "Dear G dash D, where did my eye go" I found it only moments later. I'll bet that the Three Nephites hid it under the futon. Those dark and loathsome Nephites are always up to no good. Quote
Guest Traci Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Are you mocking the LDS religion? Quote
Lindy Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 I think it was great for Jenifer to suggest a prayer.....and bat for even contemplating on saying one And I don't think you can blame the Indian guys you work with for EVERYTHING! I'm going out on a limb here bat....play along with me........ Quote
Lindy Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Oh, and as a sidenote.... I think it is great that bat realizes that prayer works. Even if it is in jest, subconsciously he knows it's true And we all know that prayer works, we are living, breathing testimonials of it....so don't let the fun and jest get your knickers in a knot. (what ever THAT means). Just smile and shake your head and repeat after me.... Bat, Bat, Bat Then laugh outloud, because #1 you will feel better #2 you know that prayer works for otherthings too. #3 you are glad that he found the piece to the project he was working on. #4 you realize that he capitalized the first letter of God......... there is hope!

Matt Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 Prayer does work. But not always in the way you expect... Quote
Outshined Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 For example, you could pray to not lose an eye... Quote
Guest bat Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Originally posted by Outshined@Aug 14 2004, 06:27 PM For example, you could pray to not lose an eye... What would it mean if I prayed to not lose an eye, but I lost one anyways? Quote

Heck if I know what that prayer would mean to you, bat, ole buddy...But I'm miffed all the way up to the artificial elastic waist of my pretty pink and green flowered knickers to think you was funning at me. I imagined you sanding an artificial eye. All the while you were laughing, my wonderings could have been on bird's eye maple for my kitchen remodel.Seriously: you skeered me.Better to be skeered in fun than to not take you seriously should the circumstance arrive. Yep.Kay Quote
Kay Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Originally posted by john doe@Aug 14 2004, 09:35 PM That the answer is no. You can pirate yourself across the internet with avatars, jd, and still I'm your self-appointed Visiting Teacher. We met at Notes. Cathected to my duty, I am, and once again reporting for duty!By the way, you never did say how that first batch of cookies hit your taste buds. [Come on: tossing them aside months past on the way to Disneyland or feeding them to the neighbors' dogs don't count.]Fess up, dude. Quote
john doe Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Well, the cookies were good, as always from you, but I just couldn't get the bad taste I kept getting from Notes out of my mouth, so I decided to try other restaurants. I realized that the manager was not going to train the help to not urinate in the food so I choose not to eat there anymore. I occasionally walk by but can never bring myself to eat there until the health department says it is okay to come back. Quote

What would it mean if I prayed to not lose an eye, but I lost one anyways? It would mean that it was selfish to pray not ot lose an eye, and the eye was taken to teach you a lesson. I read that in the Book of Bat (somewhere in the back)... Quote
Matt Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Or you could say: "What luck that I only lost one eye, and not my other seven." (This would, cf course only really work if you were a spider, however...) Quote
Matt Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 I prayed that I would be given a knowledge that the LDS church was God's one true church.However, much to my shock (I was expecting to be told that it was) I was told by the Good Lord that it was not his one true church.That's a true story. I sometimes wonder what would have happened to me had I not bothered to pray. EQ pres? Bishop's counellor? Bishop, even? Who knows? Who can say... :) Quote

Matt Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Heck no! I'm the Prophet. If I left the church, where would all those nice people send their tithing? Why, they'd send it to the Church of Matt, of course!(Dollars accepted -US or Canadian- but Pound Sterling is prefered. Oh, and no Euro notes. Apparently there are far too many fakes out there! ) Quote
Marsha Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Originally posted by Franken@Aug 15 2004, 01:49 PM Will bat ever convert? ummmmmmm Bat never left the Church formally, he is an inactive member. There is still hope for him. Quote
Matt Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 I, however, had my name removed from LDS church records and was ordained as a minister of the Gospel. (True, as it happens. ) Quote
Ray Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Heh, for what it's worth, my Dad is a preacher with another religion too. Quote
