The Work on George Harrison's book continues.  We've gotten only one comment so far, but that one was a doozy, and George answered rather well, as far as I'm concerned! We don't intend to release too many full questions and answers, but this one struck me so much that I think we have to release it.  Unfortunately George has picked up one of my bad habits that John Lennon copied.  It seems to be contagious!  I have the habit of saying "Duh!" sometimes, when I'm just absolutely frustrated by something somebody says.  And like I said, I'm afraid it's contagious.  George has already picked it up and now does it constantly!  Hopefully in time, he'll get out of the habit.  Sometimes the smallest things you do can create problems.  But I like to give things exactly as I get them.  And I think changing any way people express things destroys the subtlety of their comments.
George already has a following, a group of Scholars and Experts that have gathered around him and help him answer questions.  They seem to be from every religion.  George often refers to Them as his 'Hindu friend, here,' or his 'Buddhist associate,' or as 'the Hebrew gentleman.'  As I have said before I can't believe the way he's gotten into this!  He really wants to do things right, and is listening to each point of view before he gives an answer.  Here's the question we got.  I don't think George liked the sender.

Q.  As we're doing this book the crisis going on in the world is causing Muhammed to withdraw all his power from Mecca and Medina, and transfer it to where we are living, in Fargo, North Dakota.  I 've received an interesting question on this.  What right does Muhammed have to withdraw his power from Saudi Arabia?  What right does he have to tell The Saudi Arabians what to do?  Why can't they make their own decision and follow their own conscience?

A.  Sounds to me like you've been contacted by a moron!  But I suppose we've got to answer it!  Duh!  Well, the best way I can put it is this.  When people accept a faith they accept the principles and rules that the Leader of that faith laid down.  If they decide, instead, they wanna follow the rules their fathers made up, instead because they like them better, the Founder of that faith has every right to disavow those followers and take whatever Power he has given them away from them!  Now, some people might not like that, they may feel that they've got a right to do whatever they want to do, and to heck with the Founder's Rules, but over Here it just don't work that way!  Islam belongs to Muhammed.  If those practicing Islam will not follow Muhammed's Way, he has every right to disown them, to take what he has given them, and depart, and give what he's given them to other people, who'll use it rightly.  Now, whoever asked you that question might argue with you.  But if he does, he's not going to last five seconds in The Afterlife!  'Cause what I said applies to every other Religious Leader Here.  Either you obey the rules, do as you're told, or go find yourself a nice little spot out in The Darkness and moan and cry to your heart's content.  But you aren't livin' in my Kingdom!   It's as simple as that.  And I hope that answers your question.

Well, that's George's answer.  I don't know how it's going to go over, but like I said, I try to give things exactly the way I get them.
Speaking of our good friend Muhammed, he wishes me to send a message to President Bush.  "Our good friend," he says, "It is time for you to expand your resources.  If you are to carry on the war against  terror you must double the size of your current military, at least.  Your fine Presidents, your predecessors, have made several good suggestions as to how you might expand your military capability.  I suggest, also, that you begin recruiting divisions from other countries.  This is a world-wide battle and The United States should not carry the weight, alone.  You have named the axis of evil, but there are more in it than you know, and the danger is greater than you expect.  You need to be prepared for the greater battles that are to come.  Most of all, you should end the conflict between The United States and The Kingdom Of God.  Accept Their proposal for a separate homeland for The Palestinians outside of Israel, and the return of all Jerusalem to Israel, including their most sacred ground, The Temple Mount, which no Arab has a claim to, which God gave to Israel.  In the short term it will create problems, but in the long term it will make peace.  Your good friend, Muhammed."
Hopefully President Bush is getting Muhammed's messages.  We are sending them to The White House with our regular mailings every day, so Bush is getting the same information you are getting, constantly.  Plus, the constant encouragements he  is getting from Mary Magdalene, Jesus' wife.  Everyone in The Afterlife is praying he responds.
