Alone among the big fish of ev<i>il</i>angelism, he's always refrained from making his religion political- with the notable exception of taking his Crusades into the Soviet Union during the cold war, he's never lowered himself to selling the modern equivalent of indulgences- "prayer" cloths that feel suspiciously like newsprint, "vials of "holy" water, etc., he's remained aloof from making the usual bigoted, idiotic statements of a social conservative, he's actually used the pecuniary fleece of his flock for the mission work it was promised to, for things besides simple proselytizing and personal lifestyle enhancement, and he's actually walked the talk, as it were, managing to avoid the hookers- as well as the Jessica Hahn Memorial Hookers-In-Everything-But-Name, and <i>meth-fueled butt love with male escorts</i><b>*</b>. Plus, his wife doesn't wear clown makeup. <b>*</b>- To be clear, the "meth", the "escort", and the hypocrisy of the act itself are the problem, not the actual "butt love" or the "male". I say this- but will deny it, despite having been dragged to a handful of his live Crusades at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, despite being on his mailing list for the last decade courtesy of my lunatic aunt, despite the fact that his parenting skills failed to keep his idiot son, Franklin from crawling up W.'s ass, and, of course, despite the fact that his "belief system" belongs in the DSM-IV. <a href="http://img21.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63433_DSM_IV_Cover_122_630lo.jpg" target=_blank rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img21.imagevenue.com/loc630/th_63433_DSM_IV_Cover_122_630lo.jpg" border="0"/></a> If anyone repeats this, I’ll deny it, but I actually have a bit of respect- a jot, a tittle, for Billy Graham.

1)When the cult member is outside of the sphere of cult influence, he/she must constantly hum cult-approved soundtrack music- (ed. note: “Rock of Ages” works well so long as it is not the co-opted Def Leppard version, which is expressly forbidden except for the unidexter) loud enough inside the head to drown out potential reality’s persecution of the cult.

2) In those members whom the seed is but newly planted, earbuds will be supplied to provide constant communication with The Leader(ed. note: The member will disregard static-riddled shouts out for commercial beaver and/or massages from male escorts as there is at least a one in three chance that these are merely the intercepted ranting of long haul truckers on the CB radio and not The Leader’s personal phone calls).

Or maybe he was trying to make this person enter the school with an uppity, elitist attitude. Or maybe both.
