Flakey’s office is as large as you can imagine, lots of plaques and ribbons decorating the baby blue walls, with a large photo of the whitest Jesus ever painted. Carl thanked the man for taking the time out to visit us, without much hesitation Carl sets the box of promotional material on Flakey’s desk and began his questioning. Flakey, looking a little flustered, admitted that this was old promotional material used to recruit new people for the church, as they were looking for more numbers. I butt into the conversation, sort of like a good cop, bad cop type of scheme, and insisted that there are gift packages still being handed out, no return address. Flakey replied that the promotion ceased sending the paper bags of incense when he found out people were using the incense to get high, but people are still receiving them. The church thought they’d already put this fire out, but someone has been distributing these on the church’s behalf. The story gets interesting, as Flakey brings up Mr. Shufner, who unfortunately no longer works at the church. Carl’s eyes bug out, head leaning forward. I turn to look over to Carl realizing we have the same expression on our faces. He asks about what happened to Schufner, who was excommunicated from the church during a random outburst during one Sunday morning mass. Mr. Shufner was picked off the …show more content…
He distracted himself with kid cartoons to ease the pain of death. I put one hand on his shoulder and guided him to the dining room where we could take a seat. Carl was also insisting he was here for questioning, not to arrest him. We approach the dining table, which was covered in pizza boxes and more beer bottles, and ash try still fresh with smoked cigarette butts. The smell was starting to get to me, so I left the door wide open as possible to air it out. Robert apologized for the messy accommodations and we all sat down to
The A.A Meeting took place in the Church Notre Dame of Mt at Cedar Knolls. When the meeting started, I ask myself “where are the guys seeking for help”? When I realized that they all were seeking for help. They did not look like they need it help, they look like you and me. When the meeting started first they when in to “The twelve traditions” and then to the events that they have each week, at the first I could understand what was going on they were laughing one another. When an old man when to the front to introduced his self. At the end of his introduction he asks everyone (except us) to give money to him, because he has things to pay, when he pasted the pot all around the room, everyone started to give something. I thought it was a joke but
Hannelore brought several questions to Chandler’s attention. “What’s the status on the Young Christian Health Society? Anything new regarding the Conspiracy’s plot to design new weaponry? Do you know if Underground Intelligence is selling Anomalies in this Diocese?”
When we had first arrived at the church, I found it was in an odd location. The building connects with a Crossfit gym, that is between two other buildings. As we entered an old man held the door for the three of us and welcomed us. We walked in, having two other gentlemen welcoming us and referring to us as ladies. The room was a lot smaller than I had expected. There was around twenty people at the meeting. We sat in the fifth or sixth row. The front of the room is where the pulpit stood, which is where the pastor taught. There was also a table with the word “Remember” engraved in it. On the table sat two plates for money donations. I looked around the room and noticed all the posters on the walls. Many of them reference the crucifixion of Christ, with a scripture on it. The room had fake plants everywhere! They were on the ground, hanging on the walls, etc. It was to invite spring into the
Despite the Supreme Court’s memo reminding everyone that the United States Government continues to operate under a separation of power, only 22 years passed before another President was brought before the Court due to overextending his presidential authority: Tricky Dicky. At the center of United States v. Nixon (926-937) was the now-infamous Watergate scandal. Leon Jaworski, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating a prior break-in at Democratic headquarters, obtained a subpoena ordering former President Richard Nixon to release audio tape recordings and documents believed to contain evidence connecting several of Nixon’s closest aids – and possibly Nixon himself – to the break-in. Nixon’s attorney argued that the situation should
Clambering to my feet, I pulled a bloody sliver from my palm. It left a nasty-looking hole ripe for infection, so I crossed the few short steps to the sink to wash it out. The ubiquitous orange speckled shag rug did not extend into this area. Instead, the floor was covered in a linoleum of fake bricks, one of the few ‘improvements’ that actually pleased my eye. My gaze drifted to the frying pan still smoking on the stove, and I felt a flash of anger again. Margery could’ve burned the place down with her reckless behavior.
"I hope you don't think," He said in aloft indignant tone, "That I believe in that crap! I may sell bibles, but I know which end is up and I wasn't born yesterday and I know where I'm going!" (816). Manley claims that he does not believe in the christian service even though he himself sells bibles. Every time he promotes his sales he is lying while at the same time claiming to be a good Christian. Under normal circumstances, religious bible salesmen do not turn out to be thieves with an odd fetish. As a result the reader will become perplexed by, or begin to question, the idea that Manley Pointer has not been honest until now, when he admits to Joy-Hulga his non-existent
Jordan Barnard AP L&C Muck on Huck Huck Finn is a classic piece of literature that thrives for a use of satire to vividly open the readers to problems and issues that surround the period. The 1800’s were a controversial period that contained many issues breaking out. Satire was used for many complex topics but one issue that was attacking addressed by satire thoroughly through the novel was religion even though ironically Mark Twain was religious. When progressing through the novel the comical way religion was attacked through the use of irony and hypocritical aspects can be seen.
Faith… She stumbled back in shock, nearly smashing into a petrified lady of reasonable wealth. How did they find out that Mistress Lieben was Jewish? I never told anyone! The floor was already spreading into flames, guests racing to the stairs. But it was too crowded.
Flannery O’Connor’s view to the character rewards her view to human as a fallen creature. This is denoted by the fact that the story depicts a destruction of a normal family by three escaped killers all at once.
At this point in my life, I had become an altar server. The presiding pastor of my church was an old Brooklynite named Msgr. Dominick. In retrospect, if there was ever a pastor who had tragically lost his faith, it was surely Father Dom. Father Dom was the kind of man you picture with a scratchy voice and a pipe in his glove compartment. He was a sarcastic and cynical man, who would do everything in his power to mess with the congregation. When the choir would go on strike, he would use a tiny thrift shop speaker to play children 's choir music in spite of them. On occasion, Father Dom would pretend the altar servers were deaf to confuse the lectors. Every Sunday morning, he would tell me it was time to “wake up the Jews”, and would play the church bells as loud as he could.

All over the world, soldiers in the UN’s blue helmets or hats have risked their lives trying to stop wars. In 1988 they received one of the worlds highest honors, the Nobel Peace Prize. Canadians were proud, because their soldiers and aircrew had shared in almost every UN peacekeeping mission since 1948.
I entered into the worship service, unaware of what to expect. I was not familiar with this church, it was a non-denominational church, but the pastor had his roots in the A.M.E. Zion Church and branched out to establish his own church. I walked into the sanctuary prepared to participate in the Sunday School. I found a seat and readied myself to engage in some meaningful discussion. After sitting for several minutes, I asked one of the gentlemen who was standing at the front of the church if they had already started and where was the lesson coming from. He looked at his watch and indicated that he didn’t know if we had time for Sunday School. A puzzled look came over my face and I couldn’t help but express my confusion as I looked at
