So after Friday night's whopping illness I tried fasting yesterday on the "Master Cleanse" program. People write in and say, "I felt great! I was never hungry!" Oddly enough, I was hungry every minute. Not agonizingly hungry, but tantalizingly hungry. I kept thinking about thick tomato sauce, and big steaks, and baked potatoes. I don't eat that stuff when I'm well, but I kept thinking of it. Every time it got too bad I would drink another lemon juice and maple syrup with water drink. The drinks tasted great. But within a minute and a half Iwould be hungry again.
However, nor more inclination to throw up, and no more sick feeling. By about six last night I ate some applesauce (a whole jar, in fact) and then some strawberries, and then went to bed.
Today I started with coffee but I'm back on the lemonade/maple stuff. I'm not sure why. Partly because I slept so well last night, and partly because I have all these lemons and Grade B Maple syrup in the fridge.
I also found the TV documentary, "Preying from the Pulpit" on a real audio file onthe web. So I re-processed it as MP3 (playable by just about any audio software) and broke it into smaller pieces. I'm posting it in the links section.
This documentary shows the allegations of child abuse, molestation, and sodomy of graduates from Hyles-Anderson College, who also attended First Baptist Church of Hammond Indiana. Made in the early 1990's this documentary alleged a pattern of behavior that has since been repeated by graduates of this Independent Baptist, KJV-only school. In spite of legal convictions of graduates (and one former faculty member) of this school in churches in multiple states, these horrible behaviors, as the documentary points out, have not been repudiated from the pulpit of FBC. Indeed, AV Ballenger, convicted of molesting a seven year old girl as a deacon in the church, was welcomed back to the congregation with a standing ovation. Each MP3 file is 5 - 7 minutes long.
