I’ve Just Seen a Face
by Lennon, McCartney

I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
That we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Na na na na na na

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na

CHORUS:
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

I have never known
The likes of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Na na na na na na

CHORUS

I’ve just seen a face
I can t forget the time or place
And we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met
Na na na na na na

CHORUS

I hope that someone gives it to the Vatican, a book made of the skin of a priest should not become a cool collectible for satanists and sickos.

So THAT’S what they mean on Amazon dot com when they say “unknown binding”.

I just learned a new word. That's a rare occurrence for me.

You outta see what happened to the other guy! (Though anyone can be redeemed if they choose.) Better a martyr for a moment than a charcoal bricket.

He didn’t need his skin where he was going anyway. He will have a new heavenly body. One that is not corruptable. WOW!

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable, it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.”

In other words we are like a milk carton with an expiration date, but those of us who follow the Lord get a new “carton” without an expiration date which is glorious!

(Or you can do things the hard way with weeping and gnashing of teeth.)

... Then I saw [his] face, now I'm a believer ...

Marilyn Manson Accused of Buying Child's Skeleton, Human Skin Masks Shock rock singer Marilyn Manson has been accused of squandering his band's profit on a child's skeleton and masks made of human skin. Keyboardist Stephen "Pogo" Bier filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August in which he accused Manson of taking cash belonging to the rest of the band to pay for the "sick and disturbing" purchases. His lawyer Keith Fink has now filed additional papers adding to a list of artefacts bought by the goth singer- many of which are illegal in the US. As well as the skeleton and masks, Manson is said to have bought a range of stuffed animals, including a grizzly bear and two baboons. He is also accused of using band funds to pay for a collection of Nazi memorabilia.

How does trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament, assassinate the King of Great Britain, France, & Ireland, and attempting a coup de etat, and getting executed for your trouble, make one a “holy martyr”?

All the Gunpowder plot did was make life for Catholics in England a lot worse than it was.

[ArrogantBustard]

The priest claimed that, although he was not involved in the plot, he heard details of the plot during confessions, which bound him to confidentiality.
Despite his admonitions, the plotters went ahead.

There ya go.
