Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You're ignoring Matthew 25:28-30 (Today's NIV)
'Take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Matthew 25:28-30
That passage must be really confusing to those who think everything in the Bible is literally true, and not, you know, some kind of metaphor or something.

The best one for that is the one in Kings where the lord brings forth a couple of bears to tear apart a bunch of kids who make fun of Elisha being bald.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Those passages sound like a drug deal. Gold for ten bags, indeed.

Here we go 2 Kings 2:23-25
23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a non-Jesus query for Mah Bitches. In Pilates we do a roll-up, which you probably know is rolling up to a seated position from lying down while keeping legs straight and on the floor. When I say "we," I actually mean "other people," since even after many months of taking class, I can. not. do. it. I am getting better, but I still can't do it, and usually 99% of the other students can. Can you guys do it? Am I an ab-less freak? Does my head weigh one million lbs?
I can do lots of other challenging things, just not this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That one is one of my favorite Bible stories ever, especially when I can do the Faire as a Puritan. And if I had the money, I'd totally buy this beautiful baking mold actually showing Elisha flourishing an arm and saying, "Look what I did!" as bears chow down on sassy children, and make shortbread with it. Every Sunday would be Bake Sale Day!

Scrappy, clearly your front end is overloaded and causing an imbalance with all the spicy brains.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Mine, too!
I also love the one in Acts, where the dude (Eutychus?) was sitting in a window when one of the apostles (Luke, maybe?) was preaching, and apparently the apostle was so boring that Eutychus fell asleep in the window, and it being an upper story and all, and the 1st century having no screens, Eutychus fell out the window.
Possibly he died and someone brought him back to life, but I can't really remember.
t edit It wasn't Luke; it was Paul, being all long-winded, and there is debate as to whether Eutychus actually died: [link]
