introduction

[John Keiller]

            I am pretty sure that few, if any, of you have heard His
message. Is that right?

 

 

What? . speak up man . I'm profoundly deaf

 

 

            I have one purpose, and I am open about it: To help you find
Christ and to bring Him into your lives.

 

 

That's pretty presumptive of you fella . maybe I will set myself a task of
removing him from your's.

 

And considering the veracity of the book you hold central to your live's, I
will hazard to suggest that it is slightly more than hypocritical to refer
to any book as 'dumb'. But hey, that's just my opinion.

 

Anyway . read without prejudice and who knows . maybe pynchon will score
another convert. Enjoy.

 

And Happy Christmas.

 

John Keiller.

Subject: introduction

 

Our pastor said that this week of Christmas would be a good time for us to
reach out to people who may not have Christ in their lives. That is why I am
writing this message to the group. I have read some of the messages in the
list and I am pretty sure that few, if any, of you have heard His message.
Is that right? 

I have also read the rules about posting to this group, so I will mention
that my wife and I are reading two of Mr. Pynchon's books: Gravity Rainbow
(me) and Vineland (wife). My wife tried but found it too difficult to read
more than a dozen or so pages. She laid it down and said "Dumb book." I
apologize for offending you but i have to be honest if I am going to help
you save yourselves. I will continue to read the Gravity book. 

Why am I posting this? I think it is relevant. Why? because I have heard
many negative things about lurkers and I don't want to be one. I am posting
this so you will know that I am a recipient of your messages. I am not a
lurker. I have one purpose, and I am open about it: To help you find Christ
and to bring Him into your lives. 

Remember that He is watching you, and so am I. We love you. Merry Christmas.

>From now on I will post messages that relate directly to Mr. Pynchon's work.
I will start with Gravity and move out from there. 

That by way of introduction.
