Josfus received the same message from Rev idiot as above

well sort of

Quote:

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 1 Corinthians 4:1-4.

Greetings to you my dear brother Josefus. I write in response to your first email which came in at noon hours. Sorry I couldn't reply immediately due to the fact that I was trying to see how to raise money to carry on with my assignment.
I want to also point out one thing which has to do with my membership; that, when Dr. Egobia contacted me, I am left the former church where I was serving to work under MUIE because:
1. It is a bigger platform for a wider outreach.
2. I felt true Christian love flowing among the MUIE family.
3. It is a New Wine that will make a better impact on the souls here.
4. That in MUIE, I am still in right standing with my God as I placed a high value on Eternal life with Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb of God.

Sir, don't forget that I have left the church because they're now seeing me as one that has left the true path of eternal life because of MUIE.

Secondly I want to clarify the issue of having members, to the glory of the Holy Lamb of God, soul winning is a beautiful gift that God blessed me with from my mother's womb. My calling is not of man. By grace and Mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb of God, we are going to become larger here than the Parishes that started before us.

Note also sir, that I have to travel a long distance from where I live to where I am building the Pyramid of faith and all the Parishioners that are going with me, I must shoulder their responsibility.

Right now, I have nothing less than 45 members that are with me. Church growth is what I love passionately.

I am selling some of my household items tomorrow in order to get it done.
Bless you sir and grace upon grace be multiplied to you.

Josfus reply

Quote:

Rev Eze,

Shalom. The Holy Lamb has truly blessed our arrangement. Your commitment to your work here is nothing short of amazing. Please continue on your current path and as soon as your work here is complete and your baptism is complete, we can get your courtesy package on its way, and I will be including a little extra in the package so that you can take care of the parishioners you are shouldering the responsibility for.

Rev Eze I know you are busy....but if you could please take a few moments and pray for my Uncle the Rev Edward. I believe the Holy Lamb is getting ready to call him. He is not doing well. He is not eating or drinking much, and is in and out of consciousness. So if you could say a prayer for Uncle Edward I would appreciate same. He is a good man who has dedicated his life to the calling the Holy Lamb bestowed upon him in his early years, and now, just shy of 90 years young, the Holy Lamb is calling him again. It is sad but joyous in some weird way. Knowing what awaits him on the other side makes it somewhat joyous but there is still sadness and grief.

I look forward to your completion of this final stage, so that we may commission your first parish and get started on the talks and construction for the cathedral.

Keep the faith Rev Eze, you are doing the Holy Lamb's bidding.

Brother Josfus

Meanwhile I got a conflicting message from Idiot Egobia...I thought he was leaving today with his wife's carcass....instead he "took the day off work"?

Quote:

Sir,

How are you today?

Sir i did not go to work today because i have been expecting to receive the copy of the deposit slip from you and also friends and well wishers are coming; so i must leave tomorrow instead i will go with the last flight which is 5:30pm in the evening so that i can meet with my family members for the final arrangement.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Regards

Josfus replied to the idiot Dr

Quote:

Dr,

As you are aware I am in Aberdeen working on the plans for the cathedral we are building in Africa. Also what you may not know, is that the Holy Lamb looks like he is getting ready to call my uncle Rev Eduard to the afterlife. That just began this weekend, I am somewhat numb in dealing with that. I was hoping he would be able to share in my legacy....he may not make it past this week.

I requested the bank transfer this Friday past via email and received notification that it is in process. That is the best I can do for you. I am glad to help in your time of need, but I do not have time to babysit the transaction. The transfer will hit your bank account probably before I get notified on this end. IF it did not hit today, I would expect it to hit tomorrow. Given the time difference and my commitments here, I am only able to check my emails in the evenings. You will know the transfer hit your account before I will.

Please take care of your family and I will say a prayer for your grief and suffering.

Josfus

This is where somehow it gets back to the Dr that when Ben effected the legals of the POA he took total control over my accounts...meaning that even when I request a transfer it must be approved by him. Of course that would not be a problem if Ben was at work...but he is still missing.....so ...... Twisted Evil

And a surprising quick reply from the Rev idiot

Quote:

A very beautiful morning to you blessed brother Josefus, I have been awake from 12 midnight till this hour lifting Our beloved Father, His Excellency Edward in prayer that the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone remains the Eternal Lamb of God that was slain for our redemption, may heal him for us.

He may actually be a very old man and yet because that some of us may get to meet him and receive from him, the blessings of a Patriach, the Lord will renew him age and health.

It's already 3:57 am now and I must go to bed and have some rest.
Shalom!!!

Victoria has been snooping around the emails and has notified him of his upcoming transfer for funeral expenses......then just now she has noticed it must be approved by Pierce the lawyer. And he is missing....she has notified Egobia of this predicament. She is awaiting his instructions.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 3:27 am

At this point, I have trouble believing that Rev Eze and Dr. Evans Egobia are the same lad. They obviously know each other, and there is a chance that the good doctor was helping with the Moses scene or monument, but they seem too differently motivated to be the same. Egobia is too focused on money, and Rev Eze doesn't seem to care enough about the money for them to be the same.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 12:21 pm

From our idiot Egobia

Quote:

Sir,

I have received your mail.

Subsequently i keep on thanking God that i have such a generous human being like you. Thank you for showing that concern. As you said that i will get the money today or tomorrow, then i will wait patiently; but then i will have to shift my flight schedule, latest tomorrow afternoon.

But please my dear brother Josfus, This is Nigeria and in such a situation like this, they will require that they see the copy of the tarnsfer slip so that they can issue me the money. Yes i know you did the transfer through your email, but please you should ask your bank for the Copy of the transfer slip so that i will hand it over to my account officer in order for her to give me the naira equivalent.

I really appreciate your generosity.

Do you think the Morgue will hit him up for another day of security keeping fee for his wife's corpse? Rolling Eyes

This will go unanswered for now

Turning our attention to the Reverend idiot....

Quote:

Once more, I send you a brotherly greetings. Father Edward maybe old but I still need to meet him in person before he goes.

I prayed all night for him and I am believing that the Lord will strengthen him, give him good health till then.

I have called the Parishioners this morning to meet me for a prayer for our beloved Father, Rev. Eduardo.

Shalom!!

This poor man is in mourning and all you can do is think of kicking him while he is down.....he sent this to the hacker. The poor man only responds to emails now to take his mind off his wife's passing.

Quote:

Dear Victoria

I don't have anything to do with P***** not contacting his office and neither do i have contact with him. I and B***** warned him several times without number that he shouldn't make a trip to that region, but he refused.

So i don't have anything to do with that, i am mourning my wife, and his disappearance has nothing to do with me. Even writing you now is just for me to think less.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 1:50 pm

I guess the idiot needs to be hit with the clue bat.
If Ben has to approve ALL of Josfus transactions because of the clause he snuck into the power of attorney....
then the money for his wife's funeral will not be transferred.

nice little empasse here

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 3:20 pm

- Obviously, Eze and Egobia are different people. It is seen in their different "style of writing".
- Perhaps Egobia introduced Eze in the story when it became necessary to "present" a religious man.
- Egobia requests the transfer slip to be able to claim the money from the bank account holder.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 3:41 pm

a quick note to Rev Idiot

Quote:

Rev Eze
I do appreciate your prayers as does the M*U*I*E community here. I fear that my Uncle's condition is guarded and he is not long for this world. I would expect that the Holy Lamb will will make the decision to call him at anytime now.
I know like all of us here, your commitment to the Holy Lamb is bringing him great joy. I would encourage you to focus on the completion of the membership as him seeing photos of your monument, the new M*U*I*E Parishioners you will be leading and subsequent baptism would bring him great joy.
Please make this your #1 priority over the next day or so as my Uncle will be called at anytime now.

Nearly all of the items that have been ordered for your package have arrived. You must complete your holy works here so that this package may be shipped and we can move onto the cathedral.

Father Nektarie is tending to Father Edward in his remaining days. Once Ewuard is called by the Holy Lamb, Father Nektarie will be accompanying him on a pilgramage home so that his earthly body can be laid to rest per his wishes.

Do you have any photos of progress being made on the monument and bench you can send us so that I may share with Father Edward? It would bring him great joy to see your works being concluded in his final days.

Brother Josfus

and a note to our Dr Idiot

Quote:

Dr Egobia,

I received a strange email from my bank this morning and I am waiting on clarification. The bank claims to be waiting for "approval" to make the transfer. I do not understand this as it is my bank account and I requested the transfer which I have done 100s of times before. Them saying they need approval makes no sense. I am sure this is some kind of mistake and it will be handled ASAP.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 6:25 pm

There may be two idiots from the same scamming gang working these "mugus".

Ben is back! ...almost.

From the Secretary to Jo.

Quote:

We are happy and relieved to inform you that we have been contacted by the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria that Mr. P. has been located and they are arranging for his repatriation to the United States. He is currently being debriefed and given a full medical checkup, after which he will board a flight back home. They said that they cannot reveal his flight details for purpose of security but he should be arriving by the end of the week, as long as all goes well.

We wish to thank you, at this time, for your sincere thoughts and prayers on Ben's behave and will be sure to inform him of your unwavering support during this trying time. Rest assured that we will keep you abreast of circumstances as they unfold.

All our best to you on your retreat,

P.S. We have received notification from your bank that you have requested a transfer of funds to a party in Nigeria. We wish to assure you that Mr. Pierce will review your request once he is safely home and recuperated from his traumatic experience.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2018 7:08 pm

Ben is relieved, confused, etc...and of course Viktoria is monitoring Josfus account so the Dr will also be informed Smile

Quote:

Klara

That is wonderful. I am not sure why your office received a request to approve a transfer though. I approved it direct with the bank. I assume it is some kind of mistake.

Anyway I am glad to hear Ben has been found.

My retreat is going well, but I have some sad news. My Uncle Eduard is on his death bed. There will be some sad yet joyous times ahead.

Nothing new to Nicodim. I'll prod him a bit more tomorrow.

08.40 - Nothing to secretary Nektarie, but he's supposed to be "very busy" with old Chancellor Eduard.

======

09.25 - Father Nektarie wrote to our idiot:

Quote:

Dear brother Prince Tony,

Where are you and what's happened? I'm really worried about your "last hours" silence.
These last moments that our old Chancellor Eduard spends with us are the most important now, but we must not forget the duty we have to his last wish: "The Great MUIE Cathedral in Africa"!

You must complete the Admissions procedures (building the Monument of the Faith: the Pyramid & the Bench of Prayers... and doing your Baptism Ceremony) and you need to start looking for the construction companies that will work at the Holy site of the Cathedral. Brother Josephus has opened a $3.7 million credit line that is available until September, so I do not want to be late with the first payouts. I hope that all the costs of building materials, costs of land, the lawyers' team, workers' teams and annual salaries for you and your team of assistants can be paid not later than mid August.

Throughout the mourning period that will follow Eduard's death, I will be detached into the team that accompanies his body on his last Journey to the Holy Mountain.
Our brother Nicodem will be with you for advice and technical support. He will send you the Courtesy Package and that already approved sponsorship of $25,000 as soon as you are a full member of our Holy Church.

Be blessed and may the Holy Lamb be with you!

News of E*****'s wife's death was an emotional time for all of us......But in another bait I'm running with E*****, my northern prospector rec'd this news from *****a which contradicts the "wife's death" story.

Actually my wife's name is Stephanie and she's working, She's a nurse.
I hope to hear from you with the update.

Not that anyone believed his wife really died, but, if nothing else it just confirms the lengths these scammers go to in order to secure money from people. They truly will say anything to anyone. But since it's a different bait, we'll just keep that info from Egobia or we'd tip our hand.

Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 12:39 pm

Dammit Sparky,
thanks for ruining it for me
i wanted to believe he was in mourning
I wanted to believe he was waiting on my payment to bury her
I wanted to believe....and you ruined it
Now if you will excuse me, I need to go spend some time with my non existent uncle in his final days before mourning commences.....

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news SBC. I suppose a non existent payment for a non existent funeral for a non existent person is the norm in this virtual web of deceit. LOL
Maybe he just remarried quickly?

Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 1:02 pm

Speaking of our Dr Idiot...I just received this communique....

Quote:

Sir,

I have received your mail.

I understand the content of your letter to me. But at the same time, i will be leaving with 11:45pm flight to my state of origin in order to meet with my family members as they waited for me since yesterday but couldn't make it due to i was expecting to receive the transfer slip from you.

At the same time i will wait in my state and hopefully that before the end of today, your bank will rectify the issue and give you the copy of the transfer slip as you have given them order to make the transfer to the account i sent to you early last week. Once you receive the copy and attach the copy of the transfer slip to me, i will forward it to my account officer so that she will transfer the money to my local account in Naira equivalent. I will check my mail as soon as i get to my state this evening.

Josfus will be silent on this matter at this point as we are going to need a bigger clue bat to smack this idiot with. And I think we should wait until he is done mourning Laughing

Update from our Rev:

Quote:

Greetings to you my Precious Father Nicodim,
May grace and peace from God the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who alone remain the Holy Lamb of God continue to work in our lives. Amen.

With fervent prayers offered up to God for His Excellency Father Eduard, I am confident that; the Holy Lamb will quicken his mortal body and keep him till he has blessed my work of the Pyramid of faith.

Glad to inform you that I have finally sold my car today in order to get it completed. I am taking more of our Parishioners with me so that the work might be completed tomorrow for Father Eduardo to see.

Shalom!!!!

My response:

Quote:

This is great news. Your devotion to the cause is quite impressive; after all, selling your car must be a big inconvenience. When I was a young convert fresh from the US, I wouldn't have sold my car for MUIE. Your devotion will be noted. I do have a question though: if you have sold your car, and you said you live three hours away from the Monument, how will you get there? Will you take my earlier suggestion of pitching a tent and living on the grounds of the burgeoning church? I am also glad to see that your parishioners are still as devoted as they have been in the past. Bless their hearts, every one of them. How many converts do you have currently? I am expecting great things from you.

Be blessed,
Nicodim

I think tomorrow may be the day. Considering how he's sold his car, I am wondering how he's getting to and from the monument. He's probably getting a ride from his parishioners, but it would be priceless if he pitched a tent. Hopefully we get news of the Monument before Birlic leaves so he can see the progress before he leaves.

Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 6:02 pm

Josfus received the same message.
I was asking myself the same question, why are you paying for transportation if you have a car....but I digress....

Maybe, even though Birlic is out before...maybe this gives Edward the strength to hold on through the weekend > Smile

Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 6:22 pm

Also father Nektarie received the "I have finally sold my car" message... I'm available until Friday night, so let old & sick Chancellor Eduard live until then. Laughing

Thursday

09.21 - Father Nektarie wrote to our idiot:

Quote:

Good morning brother Prince Tony,
Last night I watched the old chancellor's bed and prayed for his health. At one point, he opened his blue eyes and, perfectly aware, asked me:
"What does Rev. Prince Tony do? He was already baptized? I want to know that everything is fine, there, in their parish in Lagos!"
These words made me so touched that I had to get out quickly. I did not want the old Eduard to see the tears in my eyes.
He is indeed a wonderful man who embraced the idea of the African MUIE Cathedral with all conviction and soul.
His nephew, our brother Josefus, is desperate and prays non-stop. I hope that you will finish the final procedures as quickly as possible and grasp the serious work:
We have to build a House of Lord, we have to build our new Cathedral!

Glory to the Holy Lamb! MUIE for you!
father Nektarie

Theoretically, there is a big chance the idiot will continue today to build that pyramid ...
I do not think he will be able to finish the prayer's bench and I do not think he will do (today) the Baptism Ceremony.
So, in the next days, he has to finish the following things:
- The Pyramid - it would be good if the pyramid is covered with some ceramic tiles... or, cement-coated and painted using the colors on the national flag. Laughing

- the Bench of Prayers
- his Baptism Ceremony: milk, honey, goat and prayers... everything filmed and photographed.
- of course, he must repeat the baptismal ceremony for all the other "believers" who have participated in the MoF (monument of the faith) action. Laughing

Then, we tell him that we want to send his Courtesy Package (the parcel with electronics) and money (25,000)... of course, he must be appointed as BOA (bishop of Africa) and must wear the sacred sign (tattoo) of MUIE Church on his chest. Laughing

Of course, pictures of tattoos worn by church members are very secret... but for our idiot we can make an "special exception" (to see that others are tattooed). Laughing

PS: Tomorrow will be the last day I can be active on the topic... I will be back on August 23rd.

======

10.02 - Half an hour later, our reverend idiot wrote:

Quote:

Dear Father Nektarie
A very beautiful morning to you and grace be multiplied.
Having completed the Pyramid, honey and Milk are ready and I am about performing the baptismal rite.
I therefore urge you to remind of any missing item now.
Thanks and remain blessed.

Rev. Prince AnthonyG.Eze

- My answer, as Nektarie:

Quote:

Be blessed, brother Prince Tony!

I have to see all of the documentary material (pictures and filming) so I can corectly evaluate the situation.
- I hope you have respected the dimensions indicated for the MoF (the Monument of the Faith).
- I hope the Bench of Prayer is at the right distance so that the faithful who sit and pray there can see the Pyramid in front of their eyes.
- I hope the great Sacred Sign of the MUIE Church is at the top of the pyramid.

Let me go back to my previous message detailing the entire 4th stage. Tell me if there are things you do not understand.
____________________________________________________________

1) And the LORD said to Moses: "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead!" (Exodus 4.19)

- Basically, this last stage is based on cohesion among members of your congregation and shows your power to bring believers near you.
- You have to build a pyramid with the dimensions of the base 10 feet (3 meters) and with the same height. It will be possible to accept a lower height (only 2 meters), but the base must be 3x3 meters.
- The materials used may be sandbags (recommended), cement bags, or any bags filled with any other available material (we have cases in which bags had filled with earth).
- Next to the pyramid, a bench should be built upon by the believers to sit and pray. For the bench, you can use bricks, cement, wood, or any kind of available material.
- I'm sending you some sketches to help you understand, and also I send you the pictures made by our reverend Adamma in the MUIE Parish of Mozambique.

This pyramid is the Sacred Monument of our Faith (that sacred moment in which our Faith in God has defeated the power of Pharaoh Ramses)!
Therefore, at the top of the pyramid must be a great sign on which to write the name of our MUIE church! Hallelujah, amen!
______________________________________________________________

2) "And I have promised you that I will bring you up from the misery of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites... a land flowing with milk and honey." (Exodus 3.17)

- This is the Baptism Ceremony and represents The Sacred Way through which you are appointed as Local Reverend and your Parish is officially recognized as one of the MUIE sisters-parishes.
- As in the Exodus (chapter 3.17), when Moses promises to his tribe that he will offer them milk and honey, you will have to stay in front of the Pyramid of the Faith and say "Our Father" prayer.
- Your position must be kneeling as if in prayer and in your arms you must hold a lamb (a baby goat will be accepted), what symbolising the power of your Faith!
- To show everybody that you really believes and respects the spirit of the Holy Lamb!
- One of the faithful who attends the ceremony must pour some honey on your head... then, he will pour milk on your head.
- You have to raise your hands up and, with eyes looking at Heaven, you must say "the sacred words of baptism" for three times. They have to be uttered very clearly!

"I baptize myself in the spirit of the Holy Lamb!
I will offer milk and honey to those who will follow ME!
Glory to the Holy Lamb!"

The Baptism Ceremony must be video-recorded and it is also useful to take some suggestive photos during the event.
______________________________________________________________________________

Shalom, to the Eternal Glory of the Holy Lamb!
father Nektarie

- His fast reply. Laughing

Quote:

Shortly you will see the video because I have all recorded. I am at the place I picking up the sign board.

- Father Nektarie, to our moron:

Quote:

Brother Tony,

If the filmed material is too large, you can put it all on a sharing site or on youtube.
Of course, some suggestive photos will also be very well received by our Elderly board members.

Be blessed,
father Nektarie

WE HAVE THE NEW TROPHIES!!! PHOTOS AND MOVIES!!! Laughing

Here's my work. This is in a new place since I lost the first place as the the owners restrained us from doing any further work when they saw the goat.

The movies!

Quote:

Brother Prince Tony,

I only got a few pictures of the Pyramid of the Faith and 2 short movies.
I did not get the movie and pictures from your Baptism Ceremony.
What happened? Did not you understand the methodology, or did not have everything you need (milk, honey, etc.)?
You need some extra explanations about the Baptism Ceremony?

Be blessed,
father Nektarie

Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:15 pm

Well its a damned good thing I did not have a mouthful of coffee when checking in this morning . Praise be to the holy lamb and all it stands for

Josfus to our idiot Reverend

Quote:

Rev Eze,

My apologies for the quietness of my person as of late. I saw the photos and video you sent to Father Nektarie. My joy for your works is not lost, it is just suppressed as I am dealing with the emotions of my Uncle Eduard being called by the Holy Lamb from this earth.
I whispered into his ear that the monument was complete and he mustered a sigh of relief and smiled as best he could during this end of life period.
I want to thank you personally for making this a priority and completing this prior to his death.
Once the Holy Lamb takes him. Father Nectarie will be accompanying him on the pilgrimage to his final resting place. I should go along however but I am unsure as I believe that I am better able to serve him here, as you commission your first Parish, baptise your first local reverend, and we begin works on the cathedral. I believe that is what my Uncle would want me to do, I am praying to the Holy Lamb for guidance.

One other thing I wanted to share with you. Remember a few weeks ago I told you that Sister Gertie who runs our childrens program told the children of you and your work and they were so excited they did some artwork, what they thought your monument might look like. One of these pictures the young child colored the top of the pyramid in green, bottom in white....JUST LIKE YOU ENDED UP BUILDING IT. The Holy Lamb is very much at work here.

Please forgive me if I am not as attentitve as usual in these coming days. Until the Holy Lamb decides it is time for my Uncle to join him in Heaven, I will be more focused on being with him than anything else. I hope you understand.

Father Nikodem will be in charge of getting your package to you in Father Nekarie's absence once you complete your baptism and are a full member of our wonderful Church. We can then, once I get through my grieving for my Uncle, begin talks and constructions of the Grand Cathedral.

Shalom Rev Eze, the Holy Lamb is most certainly at work in our lives, and responsible for us coming together for this glorious project.

Josfus

Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:22 pm

I got the same email. I was expecting something more from the pyramid. Didn't the example show it in an open space, not crammed in some alley? And what's that building right next to it? A construction site? The location is improper, but will we let it slide? Nicodim voices some of these concerns:

Quote:

Congratulations on completing your monument!
Some points:
I was very happy when I saw your work at the first location because there was a nice amount of space surrounding the monument, but currently it seems a bit cramped. Is that a construction site that's right next to the monument? Especially as you have already built the bench and acquired the goat, I suppose we will have to let it slide, but it may make some things later a bit hard. Still, I applaud you on your considerable efforts, and I hope the baptism has progressed smoothly. I believe Secretary Nektarie's explanation should be sufficient, but if you need more clarification, I'm proud of you and your progress. Let us maintain this momentum in the future. I understand there was a conflict with the owner of the property about the goat. Alas, that is understandable; many are scared of others and retreat into their shells of cowardice.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
And what is your plan after the baptism? You must surely baptize more converts and continue with this process. As you spread MUIE elsewhere, have your followers build more monuments to mark your progress. When the situation demands it, as a full parish you will conduct celebrations at your monuments as you build outward.
Everyone has been delighted to see your progress so far, and we are all looking forward to the video of the baptism ceremony. We plan to have all of us watch it together to celebrate your progress. You may find it strange that we ask for so much evidence, but the elders of the church, and every single member want to see your progress together. This is standard policy and it brings everyone at the church great joy to see new pictures of baptisms or monuments. It really does.

Be blessed,
Nicodim

I was expecting something a bit more majestic, but just by looking at it the dimensions seem about right, although we need more video evidence to prove it.
When Father Eduard inevitably dies, should we have the new parish conduct a ritual to honor him? I think the more crazy stuff we have them do, the more everyone becomes invested in the church, and thus if we want him and all of his parishioners to safari somewhere, then it will be a lot easier. Obviously, first the baptism.

Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:30 pm

^Those sand bags were probably "requisitioned" from that construction site. Rolling Eyes

I think building a bench of prayer/contemplation is in order as an act of penance and contrition.
