I know exactly what you mean and I’m laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes.

Edmund Kemper.

Yeah, it’s not only NOT about Fred, she smoothly avoided talking about him at all, no matter how often he was brought up. She refused to say so much as, “I’ll really miss working with him after all these years.” Methinks maybe she won’t.

I should add that Jews simply refer to the First Testament as, you know, The Bible. There ain’t a New one.

Former seminarian here, not that it matters. “Scripture” can be applied to any sacred text. We think of it as specifically referring to the New Testament, but in progressive seminaries (as my own was) we refer to the “Old” Testament as the Hebrew Scriptures, or sometimes the First Testament.

Could someone give me the link to the post requesting stories, so I can read all the submissions? Much appreciated.

This one scared me more than any of the others!

This sort of horror, the real, bottomless depth, is nearly unbearable. I’m so terribly sorry.
