 not blasphemous  
> um, i think venus is the brightest planet.  i know it is in our sky.... 
> which people? 
> in washington? 
 washington had a prophecy...he said in the end days america would 
have 
 a king... 
> washington was a prophet? 
 the fourth washington prophecy 
 he had a prophecy 
 d'oh!!  
 and lead them to the time of christ 
> one who has a prophecy is a prophet.... 
 right 
> where did he write this prophecy? 
 was shot by a laser rifle. 
 in 1994 
 he's talking faster now. 
> in the head? 
 in the wrist 
> well, that explains nothing. 
 the communists have been using them for years for assasination 
 attempts 
 doesn't know if the FBI had anything to do with it. 
 when he signed the letter "Jesus" he was institutionalized. 
> ok.  why do they like laser rifles in particular? 
> im not surprised. 
 people were abusing him 
 they were calling him a rapist and a molestor 
 had a nervous breakdown... 
> does he think this handicaps his campaign? 
 he's "been a mental patient ever since"? 
> outpatient, i assume. 
 he says "if i do happen to cast a wrong vote, it's not going to 
shock 
 me with electricity" 
> what is it? 
> "it" that is 
 would get up at midnight, get dressed, and stand by his mailbox 
 shouting obscenities at people who were driving by, shouting at him. 
*Alcourt* What in the world is going on? 
> and what does this have to do with his campaign? 
 "it" being the fact that he voted... 
> maybe he means the voting booth 
-> *alcourt* this dingbat is running for state senate in washington state. 
> msg alcourt for somereason, shapeshft found this guys campaign statement 
on 
 a website for washington offices 
*Alcourt* And Deus is quoting some more choice things from him? 
*Alcourt* And Deus is quoting some more choice things from him? 
 now he won't get off the phone. 
-> *alcourt* hes talking to him on the phone now. 
*Alcourt* Oh my. 
*Alcourt* That's hilarious 
> well, one can always make a noncommital statement and hangup. 
-> *alcourt* we thought so.

> deus: it wont give you an electrical shock if you just put the receiver 
 down.

 wehew

 no, he's going to send some promotional material 
 the hat is his 
 hung up again 
 got the po box btw 
 had to scroll :) 
 ahh, sorry, i wasn't here 
 mag: spoke to a candidate in washington running for state senate 
 http://209.43.151.101/vote98/pamphlet/leg_search.tmpl 
 wow... 
 he sounded very very nice. 
 deus: that's cool. too bad he's nuts 
> its probably not nice to bait the mentally disturbed 
 
 no bait, it was interesting! 
 so he's not jesus... 
 he says that he is fullfilling the prophecy that g. washington 
 received. 
 interesting 
 politicians, nice? hmmm 
 that a king would lead the U.S. to the reign of christ 
 he is the king 
 i see, is he all there? 
> well, why is he trying to get elected then, hmm? 
> i mean, thats not the normal way to become a king. 
> well, no. 
 he said washington predicted it would happen before 2000. 
 :) 
> oh course, the actual year 2000 has come and gone... 
> but few people have noticed. 
 i said "well, if you don't think you're going to win, how do you 
think 
 you could become the king in under a year?" 
 meep: don't get technical 
 :) 
 aren't we in 1998? 
> mmag: king herod died around 4 b.c.  so you see the problem? 
 mag: jesus was most likely born in 4bc...according to some 
 calculations 
> if we say year 1 is christs first year... 
 right 
 he said "well, i'm getting ready for running in the year 2000." 
 intersting 
> i wonder what hell be thinking when 2000 comes and goes. 
 but if washington was making the prediction, his year 2000 would 
still 
 be the same as ours...regardless of when jesus was born 
> but prophecies come from god, and youd think god would know what time it 
is. 
 meep: same thing all the other doomsayers will be... 
 true 
 of some excuse :) 
 well, if he told washington the year 2000, it's absolute. he 
didn't 
 tell him "2000 years after Jesus was born" 
 meep: Maybe the "real" year 2000 refers to when Jesus was 
baptised. 
 baptised? 
 he would be 4... 
 if the year 2000 has been and gone, then....... why worry? 
> hmm, bris is usu 9 days after birth?  i cant remember. 
 in the bible, he was baptised at around 30 
 deus: Exactly. 
> and he was an adult when john got to him... 
 anyway, he said "i run on the same platform as jesse helms" 
 so when I said "it's amazing how anyone can run for state senate" 
 deus: That's a scary thought 
 HE said "yeah, even a mental patient" 
> i dont think jesse talks about washingtonian prophecies, but i guess its 
 nice to have supporters 
 LOL! 
 just goes to show you who's voting for jesse helms 
> its good hes self-aware.  to some extent. 
> now now 
 thing is, his stuff about the chinook and sioux made sense... 
 deus: indeed 
> well, the black hills thing makes no sense to me. 
 The sioux already have reservations.  Been to one. 
 i always wondered "who the heck would vote for jesse helms?" 
 alcourt: not the chinook 
> and youve got to wonder about that children voting position. 
 deus: I figured the sioux got one because they beat Custer. 
> its only fair... 
 the deal with the sioux is that they have a deed to some 
land...the 
 government gave them a check for $130,000,000 for it.  the tribe tore it 
up 
 (yeah right) 
 the chiefs made a deal "don't do anything with the land until we 
all 
 split" 
 deus: what does washington state have to do with that, though? 
 either that or the people in the tribe said "WHAT THE HELL IS 
WRONG 
 WITH YOU?!?!" and jumped em. 
 shape: nothing. he was just showing support. 
 oh! i see 
 everything was going very well, but i heard something snap when i 
said 
 the word "jesus" 
 :) 
 i can't wait to get his promotional materials 
 deus: oh, really?   
 i felt like saying "you might want to tone down the mental patient 
 stuff" 
 :) 
> yes, well, i guess thats the center of his mental unrest 
 poor guy 
 meep: apparently 
 he's running against this woman...i wonder what she thinks 
 should i call her? 
> anyway, i should get some tea.  see yall 
 later 
> HA HA Ha  oh that would be too rich. 
> see yall
