It started early--They're checking up on you

I haven't been to church in > 15 years and for some reason, I thought about this today, being Sunday and all. I was 17 years old (1974) and my parents and my younger siblings went on a 2 week vacation, coast to coast, in the car. I made the case to my folks that I should stay home because I had a job in a restaurant and I didn't want to quit it. So they agreed, left me a little $$$, and off they went, leaving me home alone for 2 weeks. It was the first time in my short life that I was able to think and more importantly, act for myself. And it was WONDERFUL! Now mind you, I was a good kid and could be trusted and that was the biggest reason why my folks let me stay by myself. The first Saturday night I stayed out late. I mean late, late, late. I didn't do anything wildly inappropriate. (me and a couple of friends snuck into a wet t-shirt contest about 1 AM-we didn't dare order any drinks 'cause we knew we'd get kicked out for sure). In those days PH mtg started at 7:30 AM, so I slept in. It was a wonderful feeling, temporarily going outside the life that had been structured for me since birth. Well PH mtg ended at 8:30 and at 8:35, the priests advisor and 4 other priests were banging my door down, wanting to know where I was and what was up. Yes, folks, it started early--I just didn't know it then.

No wonder the FBI recruits heavily from The Morg.



Sounds like yer parents tipped them off before they left on the Big Vacation Trip.

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama'll help to build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?
