Jesus' Image Seen on Tree

Posted Tue, Jun 19, 2007 at 4:00 AM

Reportedly, members of St. Michael's Church on Summer Avenue have spotted what appears to be the image of Jesus on a tree trunk near their church. Given what's been going on in this city lately, this might not be a good sign.

From NBC 10 out of Philadelphia:

"A member of St. Michael's Church in Memphis, Tenn., said she noticed the image a few days ago. The tree is in a garden located not far from the church.

"The tree is planted between two other trees, and some Christians say the overall scene is reminiscent of the three crosses near ancient Jerusalem.

"To further the parallel, the reported image of Jesus appears on the middle of the three trees."

Yeah...it's amazing how ambimorphic and political a little sculpting with tri-sodium phosphate on tree bark can be.

I mean; I don't know what I should say to all congregations and potential future conflagarations about it from here. I've had sould-stealing filth trying to wedge themselves in on me from the time I was NATURALLY brought from my former mother's re-articulated human womb. meaning that I don't know what christians might have already heard me cover about...I guess "The Book of Leviticus and How That Translates Into what Critian Flocks Give Too Themselves". Because I was simply...unable to avoid this natural, yet architecturally-problematic re-translation into what would BE a field of combat if The Minions of Evil wanted to party; and I know I'm not the only one. There are things that I have now come too believe about subjects like "Apostacy" that have habitually been negatively-associated and connected to The Apostle Paul. I, (me), truly think these "habits" in the american protestant christian practice that obstruct the self and become things that cheat any individual out of their own translation as a messianic force for good. Using the device of christianity as a tool of advancement into that type of career. So; MY problem with "it" here is that I'm forced to focus on the thing that violates what I think is beautiful about "Apostacy" that has been regularly negatively associated as a good-subject by numerous american protestant leaders; and positively-associated with The Person of Paul of Tarsus unwarrantedly. As in: Paul didn't MAKE IT. But yeah; you're right fucking there. Just imagine YOURSELF as Jesus meeting Paul on The Road to Success they were separately traveling and, after the initial introductions, Paul said that he killed thousands of Christian followers while he was doling-out "time" as really bad tax-collector....I mean :think in terms of practicallity, dudes......"Okay; that's alright with me, Paul. Just as long as you wetre REALLY sorry. You know that I have a sister, right? Maybe you'd like to come over to my NICE house in Rome and I'll make you both dinner."...The overarching point here, with and as myself in this condition of human reality, is that it challenges my right to get the fat paycheck in personal accomplishment in THIS life, as this person, and having become this good at being this as the result of my own separate adversity. I'm forced to spend so much of my life focusing on a, truly, fictional reality. Even if this-and-that person, now me, is an accurate assertion of truth. So; I don't want Cristians to cheat themselves by focusing on "What's Broke" in the mechanics of Christian applications over time and in thier lives.
