AFTERNOON SNACK
By; Speaker Gerald A. Polley

People often complain about my temper and, my lack of a sense of humor.  Some people consider it really bad.  They should've known me when I drank!  The incident with Charlie comes to mind.  I had really been on a bender the night before and I came to work in a very bad mood because I'd been in a fight that night.  Charlie had always made fun of my rubber boots, which were necessary because the yard where I was living was so muddy I couldn't get to the car without sinking down below my shoes.  So I would wear the boots to work, change there, and leave the boots under the coat rack.  I got done my shift and was preparing to go home when I picked up my boots and felt something funny.  I reached down inside them and found they were full of leftover oat meal from the morning's breakfast!  Charlie was standing by the sink laughing his head off.  
I got up, went down to the chopping block, pulled out a butcher knife, went over, grabbed Charlie by the hair, and put the knife to his throat.  "Up back," I screamed.
"What's the matter with you?" Charlie screamed as we headed for the back.  "You're crazy!  You're insane!  What's the matter with you?"
When he got in front of the coat rack I screamed "Kneel down!"  Charlie did so.  "Get it out of the boots!"  I screamed, "Eat it!"
"What?" Charlie cried.  "That's insane!  That's sickening!"
I pushed the knife harder to his throat.  "Eat!"  I ordered.  To put a little emphasis on it I took a little chunk out of his ear.  Charlie began to scoop the oatmeal out of the boots and eat it.  He ate handful after handful then started to beg "Please!  I can't eat any more!  Please!  In the name of God, please!"
I threw him aside, went down, wiped off the knife with the bleach solution, put it away, and began to wash out my boots.  Charlie disappeared holding a towel to his bleeding ear, and reentered the kitchen a few minutes later with the boss, who looked at the oatmeal in the sink and turned to Charlie.
"I hope to hell you've learned your lesson!" he snapped.  "Leave Gerald alone!  He's nobody to mess with!"
"Aren't you going to do anything?" the cook asked.
"No!"  the boss answered.  "It's your own damned fault!  Leave other peoples' stuff alone and you won't have problems like this.  Gerald may have been a little rough, but he was completely justified.  You don't do things like that to people!  Leave peoples' stuff alone!"
"I can't understand," Charlie cried, "why would he hurt somebody just because he had a little fun with him?  I don't understand!"
"And you never will!" the boss answered, turned around to me, and remarked, "Please Gerald, take it easy!  Next time don't spill any blood."
"Had to get my point across," I answered.  "I wouldn't have seriously hurt him."  
"I know that," the boss answered.  "That's the only reason you're still here.  Just take it easy."
Yep!  People complain about my temper now, they didn't want to know me before I stopped drinking.  That's when I REALLY had a temper!

Mission To Bismarck May Fail

Sadly, it appears that our mission for God The Father in Bismarck, North Dakota, is going to fail.  God The Father wanted to make one of the churches in Bismarck His offocial residence on Earth in the material world.  Two churches he wanted to use refused to accept His power with such venom and hate that God withdrew His Angels from their temples and is now allowing creatures of Darkness to rule over them.  He has poured all His power into another church.  We have contacted that church and presented God's proposal to them.  But they have not responded.  God will not try again.  If this church fails Him, He will shut off the power to it and consider trying to establish His earthly residence someplace else so He can disperse His power and save His children.  These are dark times.  These are terrible times when God has so much power, when His Son has so much power, but man refuses it, refuses to take it and use it.  These are the saddest of all times, the most sorrowful of all times.
