What A Trip!
The trip home was phenomenal, just the most delightful time. Below are some of the emails we sent out after coming home, telling people what had happened. One of the greatest thrills of getting home was being picked up at the airport in a stretch limo. Some of the people in the trailer park later asked if we'd been to a wedding or something and we explained to them they'd been on the show. "You're kidding!" everybody kept saying, "You're kidding!"
Home safe and sound from our first appearance on national television! And before we say anything else we've gotta plug some very nice people who did an incredible job. If you're ever in Fargo and you need a limo call
All Occasion Limo (800) 353-0010 They have a fine selection of vehicles and excellent drivers. It was a thrill to ride home in a stretch limo! We felt like we were real super stars!
If you're flying around the country and United is available we recommend their service. The only trouble we had on the whole trip was an obnoxious operator at the ticket counter when the computer wouldn't print our tickets, or passes or whatever they're called. We finally got some assistance from the manager of the counter and in a few minutes he had our papers, and we were on our way! Everybody else throughout the whole system was wonderful! I was getting pretty uncomfortable when we got off the first plane and they whisked us around the terminal on carts to get us to our plane. You couldn't ask for better service!
If you have occasion to need limo service in Los Angeles call
Nice Guys Limo (310) 636-8108 Their drivers are really knowledgeable of the area, and love to share their knowledge of local events. You never know who they may have just dropped off before they pick you up! Sincerely, really, really nice people!
If you ever need a place to stay in Hollywood it's got to be
The Roosevelt Hotel, 7000 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028 (323) 466-7000 The place has the most fantastic vibes and the staff are all smiles and courteous from the parking lot attendants to the desk clerks, and the charming maids in the halls. It's just a great place to stay and we hope some day to get to stay there again. There's some hotels that once you leave their doors you don't want to ever go back, but that's not The Roosevelt! If you had your way you'd like to live in The Roosevelt all your life! It makes you feel that comfortable!
If you're great hamburger enthusiasts you've got to try
Hamlet Hamburger. It's just down the street from the hotel. We don't know its address. But it's hamburger lovers heaven! Their salads aren't bad, either, they're a meal in themselves! But the burger's the thing, it's definitely their thing!
If you want some real nostalgia, a blast from the past that will bring back childhood memories, oh, and some great food too, you've got to try
Mel's Drive In, 1650 N. Hiland Ave., Hollywood, CA 90028. Again this place has fantastic vibes! The service and food are phenomenal! I believe Hollywood High School is right across the street, if I read the sign right. So you never know what you might see!
If you really want to know what's going on in Hollywood while you're there, tune your radio to
KROQ 106.7 If anybody knows the local area, they do! You especially want to listen to Kevin & Bean in the morning. You never know who they might have on from local celebrities to internationally known psychics in far off Fargo, North Dakota! They're the top station in the area as far as we're concerned, and as far as a lot of other people are concerned, too, well worth listening to! Click Here to see a copy of Linda's drawing John Lennon requested be done for Kevin & Bean.
But most of all we've got to say if you're ever invited to be on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show don't hesitate. You will never find a more wonderful group of people that will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable, and give you every opportunity to do your best even when you're zonked!
Things, as far as we are concerned, could not have gone much better! Everybody that saw the show so far, is saying it was phenomenal. The only complaints we have gotten is about the skit that was showing before us. We only saw glimpses of it. It was something about some guy interviewing Jesus and some people were upset about it. I'll admit, I was a little bit at first. But Jesus said, "Demetrius, hey, lighten up! It was just a little good hearted fun. They weren't trying to promote anything evil, they were just kidding around. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we can't laugh at anything. As long as they're not trying to teach people hate I'll let it pass." I will have to say Jesus is far more forgiving than I am! But I guess that's why He's The Son Of God!
The only thing negative about the trip was that the judges in California wouldn't stop the homosexual marriages. We are trying to direct all of the power that we took there to have the governor and the people take more action. Jesus says very strongly He does not want any violence towards homosexuals, He doesn't want any of them hurt. They are already destroying themselves. But he wants the homosexual marriages stopped, and the illegal marriage licenses confiscated and destroyed. That will hurt the homosexuals more than anything else. But this evil must be opposed, it must be stopped, not in hate, not in anger, but in love, because all parents love their children and do not want their souls destroyed, even the parents of the homosexuals. There is a line that cannot be crossed, there is a place beyond which, we're not allowed to go, and supporting homosexuality is one of those lines. Those who truly believe in The Son Of God cannot support it, and those that do are not of The Son Of God but of the creatures of Darkness. It's that simple! There's no middle ground! If you oppose homosexuality in love and understanding you are with The Kingdom Of God. If you support it in hate and anger you are with the creatures of Darkness. There's no in between, there's no half way, you're either going to live forever, or you're going to die forever, the choice is yours.
FOOTNOTE: One sad thing about our trip to California. The dark ones were desperate to keep any mention of us out of the local news so to keep this from happening they caused someone that served them to kill a police officer so that the news would be completely tied up and there would be no possibility of anybody mentioning the visit of two psychics from North Dakota. What these foul creatures will do to keep their evil from being exposed! We sincerely regret that our visit caused this horrible incident that would not have occurred had we not been there. There may have been a confrontation between the officers and the man involved, but there would have been no life lost. The creatures of Darkness deliberately drove this poor soul to kill for their own sinister purposes, and this really saddens us. We arranged a dispensation so this fallen hero can enter directly into The Kingdom Of God and not be held in the edict that is keeping other Americans from entering in. This was quickly agreed to. It was felt it was the least we could do. I would very much have liked to have stayed and participated in the officer's funeral. But the tightness of our schedule made it impossible for us to stay over. But those who protect the streets with dignity and honor are praised by The Kingdom Of God, and the loss of one in a senseless situation like this troubles Them greatly!
Got the ignorance below in our mailbox this morning. Note the highlighted subject. This person obviously thinks he's very funny but the day he dies he's going to find I don't have a sense of humor, and he's going to wish he'd never been born! There are some things that will not be forgiven, and that will send a man straight to hell, and this is one of them!

One humorous thing occurred during the taping of the show last Friday! As we mentioned before, Mary Magdalene and Jesus were with us every step of the way, from the time we boarded the plane leaving Fargo, until the time we departed from it on our arrival home. When we went to do the show Jesus and Mary Magdalene had gone out into the audience before we went on stage. As we were talking Mary Magdalene kept standing in front of one woman in the front row, blocking my view of her and smiling at me in a way that only she can smile. She puts the Mona Lisa to shame! I wondered what she was up to. When we got done and we left the stage, I got a glimpse of the woman she was shielding. Let us just say that the front of her dress was just a little bit more than revealing! I don't think Mary Magdalene wanted me to be distracted, she wanted me to keep my full interest on what we were doing. I teased her about it and she simply said "Demetrius! You are a man and she was a woman! A man would definitely be distracted by what that woman had!" You can't imagine how much I laughed! The joy of working with these people is unbelievable. Sometimes They can just be so delightful, so absolutely delightful!
Where we had to fly through Denver the Colorado dead zone had to be shut down for the time we were in LA. There was no sense taking it down and putting it back up again and then taking it down again! The Spirits that were trapped in it since their deaths were extremely grateful! They were quickly evacuated to The Afterlife. When we came back through many Spirits met Jesus and Mary Magdalene and begged Them to leave the dead zone down permanently, but Jesus said "No. Give us some reason. Make a stand against the evil here, begin to fight it instead of accepting it, then We will consider dropping the dead zone. But until you do, until you start saying that love between two men and two women is unacceptable, the dead zone stays. The choice is yours." The people were very disappointed but thanked Jesus for speaking to Them.
Speaking of dead zones, because of the trip to California work on the upcoming primaries Super Tuesday was delayed as We made the effort to put as much spiritual energy into California as We could lay our hands onto. But now We have to get back to that problem. As shutting the New England dead zone down does nothing for New York State it and both the lower Canadian dead zones will have to be shut down to give The Kingdom Of God's Workers free access to New York State, where Jesus, Himself, will be taking care of the effort. He is going one on one with The Harlot (Hillary Clinton) and her political machine. This is going to be a fight! Lord Peter is taking Vermont. Father Abraham is taking Massachusetts, Moses is taking Connetticut and Rhode Island. Bartholomew gets Maryland. Martin Luther is taking Georgia. John Lennon is taking California. He has a lot of associates there. And Philip is taking Ohio. The Kingdom Of God is now going to be throwing everything They have at Edwards, trying to cut down his percentages and, to give Kerry as great a victories as possible, hopefully, to make it to the point where even if the battles continue Edwards won't be able to get enough votes for nomination.
Everybody wanted a new theme song but John Lennon is simply drained. Our effort in California put a lot on him as he was trying to reach many of his associates there, and make them understand The Kingdom Of God's struggle. So Jesus has told him not to try to get a song against Edwards. They'll use Their regular rallying songs this time. Even the most talented people get drained sometimes. But even without an independent battle song The Kingdom Of God's Forces should do well. They will be whispering in the voters' ears over and over again, "Don't vote Edwards, save our children!" We can only wait and see how They do!
Had one of those little tragedies that really messes you up. Lost all our souvenirs for the trip to Hollywood. Had brought back the sign from our dressing room and kept the stubs from our boarding passes, and some other things. We got home and gathered them up and I told Linda to put them in a safe place. She put them in a plastic grocery bag intending to put them in the extra room later. I got up the next morning, which was trash day, and saw a whole pile of trash on the counter that hadn't been taken care of so I grabbed a handy grocery bag, stuffed all the trash in it, tied it, put it in the bigger trash bag, and put it out on the curb. By the time Linda realized what had happened, it was too late. The trash man had already come, and our treasures had gone with him. Next time we're going to guard them with our lives! But we really feel bad. I was going to scan them and put them up on the internet. But hopefully there will be another time. These things happen. There are far more important matters.
John Lennon absolutely irate that a DJ named Dangermouse (Brian Burton) has remixed music from his White Album and distributed it without his family's consent. John makes it very clear that all of his old music, before his death belongs to his family and no one else has a right to use it without their consent. Of course Paul can remix stuff, it's his music. But other people have no right to violate their copyright. This is the only thing John dislikes about the computer age. Unscrupulous, uncaring individuals can steal what belongs to others and give it to their just unscrupulous friends. It is something that has to be corrected. People cannot trade music on the internet with each other without paying the royalties. This has to stop! It is unfair to everyone that owns a piece of music.
We are often asked what drew John Lennon to us in the first place? Why did he find us so interesting? Well, in reality, before the crisis began John was drawn to us because of the hymns I had translated from The Afterlife from our old Spiritist Teachings. He still, when doing concerts in the Spiritist Republic, loves to sing "Memorial," which thrills our people beyond belief! And John, on special occasions has even sung it in The Kingdom Of God. You cannot understand what a joy it is for Us to hear the people of The Kingdom Of God singing one of our hymns, and being just as much against the evil We fought, as We are. This was the spark that started our relationship, as John wanted to know more about The Songs Of Old. A link to some of these songs is featured on Yahoo, whenever you type in my name. I don't doubt that John had something to do with it being there. As we have often said, music is one of the greatest powers that binds The Afterlife together. That was true long before we met John, but John is definitely one of Its greatest binders! Here's John's latest effort, the demo to his song for Michael. Enjoy!
Miraculously we found a few of our mementos from the trip! The stubs from four of our boarding passes. So we haven't lost everything. We will be able to frame these. We wanted to scan them and put them on the magazine but they just wouldn't print out in a clear enough image. But we will put them online at the art gallery, so people can see that we actually did it, we actually did go out there, as wild and as crazy as it seems, we actually did it! Everybody at work is saying "Who's next?" And the boss says "If anybody calls don't worry about it! Just tell them you can come!" So there's no telling! People want us to come and stay for quite a while, but Jesus says not until we establish our income, and I don't have to work. Then I can spend perhaps three months in California. Perhaps while it's winter here. Hopefully by then we'd have a staff to take care of things. Jesus is a dreamer! But His dreams have a tendency of coming true. We will have to wait and see. Hopefully we'll have even greater news next issue!
