Dear Rev Ambulance.

There's this person I know who really needs some guidance. You see, he has this problem remembering who he is.

Rev Ambulance,

I have the teensiest suspicion that you may have been defrocked.

Now you know what it feels like!

<waves bunch of burnt feathers around room with renewed determination>

Never fear, brothers and sisters. We'll soon smoke him out!

*Condescending sigh*

I have said shall no doubt have to say again, There is nothing remotely exciting about my use of an earthly amanuensis to deliver unto you my anointed utterances, and unfallible decrees.

If pseudepigrapha was good enough for SS Paul and Peter, I don't see why I shouldn't avail myself of its convenience.

After all, it matters not who brings the word of the Lord, as we who labour in the pulpit are mere empty vessels, irrelevant conduits to pipe the Word of Truth into the equally irrelevant receptacles sitting in the pews.

In the same way, it matters not who brings my word unto you, as long as it is mine, and not some counterfeit of human devising.

Lent is approaching. Will giving up chocoate be enough to rescue me from the fiery pits of Hell and whatever it is those benighted creatures whom you have entrusted to guard this thread have been brandishing around lately?

No.

If your heart is truly weighed down with anguish in due proportion the abominability of your iniquity, then so should your penance be.

The words of Our Lord are clear. If your fingers caused you to type in sinfulness, then cut them off. Alternatively if it was in your head that the wickedness started cut that off instead.

Either way, I'm sure if it is the will of God all shall be restored unto you.

I have this itch in an... unitchable place. Should I say 5 Hail Marys or simply ask someone to itch the itch for me?

I think you can go a head with the latter, Sibling Nunc. The only unitchable place I am aware of on the outer body is between the lower shoulder blades, which is according to my Zones of Iniquity chart is one of the least hellish parts of the whole body.

If it's anywere else you either it is within you - in which case, yes proceed straight to exorcism - or you have unusually short arms, which I suppose is just a reminder how far short you fall of God's standards, who according to the Scriptures has very long arms indeed.

RuthW and tomb assert that you haven't paid the tax for keeping open a thread in hell. Doesn't this put you in direct opposition to Jesus? Who's right, you or Him?

My dear child, you have been led astray by false teaching and hollow thoughts. Is a protection racket the way of Christ? Did our Lord say unto St Peter "On this rock I shall build my mafia and the gates of St Ursula's High Pentecostal Reformed shall not prevail against it"?

No, sibling Cow. Or would you have me also paying this enemy of the Way not to micturate in the font, or not to put gunpowder in the thurible?

Short answer: YES

Long answer: Well duh! Yes of course He did. And if you can't find it in your bible then it just shows how little you know of our Lord.

Dear Rev Gerald Ambulance,

I reminded of you in the Styx, where I happened upon +Rodrigo... And thought with relief that I at last might unburden my soul to someone.

You see, I seem to be causing conniptions and other distress disorders in several of your virtual flock, by virtue of certain dress choices. They seem to find it too overwhelming when I stalk into a room wearing fishnets, a black leather Victorian corset, suspenders, spiked dog collar, a black satin cloak, stiletto heeled thigh high boots (laced, of course), and with long black feathers trailing out of my hair.

I cannot help my dress sense (I would have thought Coot would understand, given the whole bird thing and all). Why should it be so scandalous?

What should I do to fit into this decent and goodly society? *bats long mascara-ed lashes*

Or is it them that should change?

Anxious and anguished,

Nunc

*bump*

Dear Rev,

Have you forgotten about us? Or did you die, like Simon?

Anyway, I have this grave and dire problem, and I don't know what to do! I have this gin bottle, and it's empty, what should I do? If I filled it with water, could my local priestpray over it, and transform it into Gin? Or would you have to pray? Or should I just buy another bottle?

I'm so confused [Help] [Confused] [Help]

Mister Rev., do you think it was unbibical for the USA to fight against the tyranny of GB? Or should we just have invited the King's men to sip some tea and crumpets with us, instead of throwing the whole batch and wasting it in the water in Boston?

Just curious. Thanks.

Empty gin bottle? I don't know what Rev Gerald would say - not having a clue what happens in that great mind - but from my perspective an empty gin bottle can only mean one thing. The gin bottle is empty.

as to what you should do? Buy 2 more: one for you and one for me. Bombay Sapphire. Why? cos those letters appear in the bible.

Rev Gerald - looks as if your presence is required over in Mystery Worship (run out of gin) [Eek!] and Heaven (in need of a few home truths) [Devil]

Forget that. The Rev. Gerald is out to start his own church, much good it will do him.

In the past, the Coot has functioned as curate. Inasmuch as the Cure now seems vacant (probably one of those dead pocket burrows they have in England, though God only knows who dug the holes in the first place) I nominate her to the Living.

Coot, what say'st thou? If you accept, I could even be persuaded to change the title of the thread.

Or perhaps you might wish to start your own thread, so as to dissociate yourself from the minimalist negligable curacy of your predecessor?

No, you are wrong. Buy one only and with the rest of the money buy a plane ticket and bring it to me.

Gerald

At least you're in hell for that's where you belong. I think you should take your head out of your arse and start addressing some real issues instead of pandering to other people's whimsical thoughts and ideas.

Perhaps Ambulance is a good surname for you - as you should be rushed in one to the nearest and most secure mental asylum.

Grrrrr........... [Flaming]

The good Reverend's clientele will be pleased to know that he may be found on the main website (you do all remember that there is a main site, yes?):

Rev. Gerald Ambulance

You may seek guidance there. May God have mercy upon you - Rev. probably won't.

But Ruth, it's only too true: Rev Gerald has NO mercy on ANYONE. I have visited that page many times in the hope of gleaning more spiritual help. I emailed him copious times by clicking on the links.

All to no avail.

Lets face it: Rev Gerald Ambulance sets himself up as some agony aunt and then absents himself.

Yeah, up yours mate with a barge pole! Typical of these personality cult figures... I can't believe I was sucked into it for so long.

All too true, Nunc, all too true.

But there are responses with dates in late May on the page to which I linked, while the Rev has not been seen in these parts since February.

So again, I direct all the Rev's acolytes, well-wishers, stalkers and assorted hangers-on to his pages on the main site.
