Christian tropers, join together!

Now that you guys are done with possession, what about this "oppression" -thing? You know, the thing apparently different from possession? Run into that term before?

Every now and again. Personally, I'm a bit skeptic on the term because it tends to be a common snake oil for phony televangelists to lay blame on whatever is going down on your life on demonic operations.

You better watch out for con-man who take advantage of the term, because I do believe it's a real problem and they are doing a disservice by jibbing people.

Easter Sunday here. Christ is risen.

This is where time zones make things a little awkward.

Yeah, a little.

Pacific NW Jesus still needs a few more hours.

Must be the mountains . This is also an issue with New Years.

Nah see at New Years I get to pretend I'm from the future!

East Coast Jesus rises.

Today is a great day to make Easter themed April Fools Day Pranks.

No, it makes sense! They go into the tomb, there's an angel saying "Suuuurprise!"

With the Lent over, I can now post here again. Yayz.

As for Easter themed prank, well, I ran around in my base with chocolate syrup on my face (believe me, that works much better than ketchup for emulating blood) and sickly make up. Then I teamed up with chaplain's assistant, and have him whip out cross and the Bible, and then shout "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!".

Then I fell to the ground, shaking like crazy, only to stand back up looking more sane and say, "Whoa. What just happened?"

So much fun was had. Well, until the military police came. Then it got hilarious.

I agree that is hilarious.

That may be the best thing in history. I approve.

The phrase "What would Jesus do" is a bit confusing when I think about it. Considering that Jesus is God in the flesh, He can do anything He wills to do. So we can' do what Jesus would do in a situation. Might as well as what the Ideal Hero would do.

Last year at the Easter evensong the Deacon did the weirdest sermon. He was like 'Jesus is still dead! When the apostles saw him he still had the wounds from when he died! He's clearly not alive! He's a reanimated corpse!'. Me and my mum had no idea what he meant. Thinking about it now, was he saying that Jesus was some kind of holy zombie?

That seems an...odd thing to base a sermon on.

I know, right? That deacon often makes strange and cynical sermons. One advent he made a sermon on 'stop eating mince pies because it is not Christmas day' and when I was singing at midnight mass this year he did a sermon on 'Christmas is about outside, not being inside with luxurious things' because of the setting. I only half understood most of them.

He seems like he's been doing sermons for too long.

I dunno. Someone else though, did a sermon where they talked about their friend in the clergy who was converted to Christianity while he was robbing someone's house! Do you want to hear how it happened?

Did someone catch the robber in their house and pesent the gospel?

I guess the "Christmas is about outside" could be interpreted as being about how the focus of Christmas is on the birth of Christ (who was born outside in a manger), but cant understand the others (certainly not the undead Jesus one).

No, turns out the family whose house he was robbing were downstairs having dinner. But they told him that if he didn't rob them and never robbed anyone else ever again, they wouldn't call the police on them. So the robber thanked them and left without stealing anything. Apparently, a few days later the robber came back to that house because he was so confused on why they had let him go that he could not sleep. That's when they explained the gospel to him.

I agree that is inspiring.
