Jesus' Rule Questioned Again

Again, we had not intended another email this week, but something so terrible happened in The Kingdom Of God yesterday that we cannot rest without relating it to you.  First of all, the energy levels in The Kingdom Of God have dropped tremendously, since John Lennon's resignation. They have again been forced to shut down the theaters.  It is believed that the people have simply lost heart, lost faith, given up all hope.  Perhaps this is what caused yesterday's incident.
Suddenly, thousands of people began to pour into The Circle Of Apostles, carrying banners that said "The False Apostle Is Gone!  Make So And So The New Apostle!"  Others simply carried small signs that said "Apostlesize So And So!"  They gathered in front of Lord Peter's residence and demanded to see him.  When he finally came out their spokesman came forward with a petition.  "Lord Peter," he announced, "we respectfully ask that you accept this petition and make this worthy servant of God an Apostle of Our Lord Jesus."
Peter took the petition, cast it on the ground, and ground it with his foot.  "I have told you before," he answered, "and I will tell you again, no member of your priesthood will ever be made an Apostle!  They have done more to destroy The Work Of The Lord than any others on Earth.  None of them can ever be fit to be an Apostle!  Do not ever come to me and ask that any one of them ever be elevated again!"
"Why not?" the spokesman screamed.  "What have they done but serve Christ, and, God above all else?"
"They are not even men!" Peter answered.  "They cannot even keep a wife and raise children as God commanded each man do.  They are murderers and thieves!  For the sake of the coffers of their church they hear the evil of men, give them false forgiveness, and let them go out and do evil again, keeping their secrets.  They are responsible for the murder of men, women, and children because they permit evil.  They are blasphemous, even now, in false piety they say that men can destroy a soul when only God can do this!  None of them are ever worthy to enter into The Kingdom Of God.  It is only by The Lord's Forgiveness that any of them enter in.  And even the one you here praise is a blasphemer, a traitor to God, and, man.  He changed the holy sabbath, made everyone that came after him a sinner before God because they worship on the heathen day, not The Day Of God.  As I have said, none of them can ever be worthy, and as long as I lead Heaven none shall ever even be considered."
"Then perhaps it is time," the spokesman cried, "that you no longer rule Heaven! Perhaps it is time that you and your associates were put out, and men who better understand the living were made our leaders.  What good does it do to forsake the whole world for a pile of rocks, because that place is called Jerusalem?  What does it matter?  It is better to sacrifice it for the good of all."
Suddenly the man the crowd was sponsoring for Apostleship appeared.  "Lord Peter!" he cried, "Cast these foul creatures out of Heaven!  I told them not to do this.  They came here against my express wishes.  I have told them I obey you, and, The Lord.  You have said this cannot be, so it cannot be.  But they act thusly against my will.  I ask that they be put out."
"So be it!"  Peter cried.  "Put them out!"
"No!"  the group's spokesman cried, "We will NOT be put out!  We have a right to speak, to express our desires.  NO ONE has a right to put us out of Heaven.  You do not have the authority!  WE WILL NOT OBEY!"
Before anyone could move, Jesus suddenly appeared in their midst.  "He has the authority I have given him!"  Jesus announced. "I have said he rules Heaven until I choose to return to my Throne.  Are you saying you will not obey who I have appointed over you?"
"Why should we?"  the spokesman cried.  "You have allied yourself with the fallen.  You praise the unworthy.  You reward the unjust.  You put others before your own.  Perhaps the question should be are even YOU worthy to rule over us?  We want fairness!  We want justice!  We want some of our traditions respected.  We do not want to have to renounce them all because they were begun by decent men and not by you.  Why do you listen to others and not your own?"
"I ally myself," Jesus answered, "with those who will serve me, and do good no matter WHAT they call themselves.  I reward those who serve me, and do good, no matter what their heritage.  When those who are supposed to be mine will not hear me and will not do my will, I will find those that will.  Be careful, priest!  Be very careful!  I have had about all of your priesthood I can bear.  It just might suit me to make mankind completely aware of ALL their evil, of ALL that they do, until men are so sickened by them that they vomit at the very mention of their names.  Do not think, priest, that I cannot crush your priesthood if I choose to do so!  I only permit them because of the small amount of good that they do manage to do.  But if that good begins to be washed away by the innocent blood caused by their evil, I WILL put an end to them, and do not think that I cannot!  NOW, the ruler of Heaven has told you to depart.  I would rather have you depart with dignity and grace.  Go and dwell among those you so despise, those who have stood by me faithfully when so many of yours have betrayed me.  You have chosen!  The Kingdom Of God is no longer yours, and it will never be yours again.  Now, go!  All of you, every last one of you, leave God's Kingdom!  It is not yours!  Go now!  Go in peace.  Do not be forced from Heaven."
The spokesman looked as if he would say something, then took off his crown, cast it at Jesus' feet, and walked off.  One by one all that followed him dropped their crowns at Jesus' feet and departed.  When they were all gone Jesus turned to Peter.  "Peter," He commanded, "I would have you ask Father Abraham to fill in for Our Beloved John until we can convince him to take back his place, for there are none ANYWHERE that would question him, and all know that he can never be an Apostle, for he is The Father Of All Apostles, and cannot be one of them.  Now, I will return to what I was doing.  But let it be known that any that propose any candidates for Our Dear John's Apostleship from this moment fourth, shall be cast out of Heaven.  NONE are acceptable, save Our John."
With this Jesus disappeared, and Peter cried, "As The Lord has commanded, it shall be done!  Let us go now, let us return to our duties."
These are the most incredible times, even in The Kingdom Of God Jesus' Leadership is questioned again.  The Darkness is still creeping into the very foundations of The Afterlife, and threatening the existence of all.
 John Lennon is presently visiting The Afterworld's version of Paris, and being wined and dined by every person of importance, each, gently hinting that he return to his post.
The world MUST understand why we so desperately need the Petitions for John's Apostleship!  The world MUST show that they still believe in Jesus, believe in the miracles that He can do, and only by accepting what John has done and supporting his Apostleship can that proof be given.  What we desperately need is people, organizations around the world to print and distribute the Petitions and BEG people to fill them out and mail them.  The Kingdom Of God needs you, Jesus needs you!  EVERYBODY needs you!
