thespec.com – September 17, 2007 by Steve Arnold

In a related development, pot-loving Church of the Universe high priests Walter Tucker and Michael Baldasaro have formed a Committee to Save the Centre Mall. They've sent a letter to the city's heritage committee meeting today asking that the dilapidated mall be declared a place of "Cultural Heritage, Value and Interest," with an "ambience and benefit to the community" that needs to be preserved. City staff recommend carrying out a preliminary assessment of the mall's cultural value.

·         "Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco" 
Order and Ruling of Mr. Justice McCart, pronounced August 14, 1997 in the  Supreme Court of Ontario at London.

This Ruling simply means that since it was made, there exists no reasonable or probable grounds upon which the authorities can maintain laws against marijuana and/or act against anyone no more than they can act in any way against alcohol 
and/or tobacco users. 

Therefore, the Marijuana laws of Canada are unconstitutional and of no force or effect as they violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Sections 1., (they are unjustified) 7. (Deprives liberty and security of the person), 15(1) (denies equality with other drug users, ie. alcohol and tobacco), 24.(1) and 52.(1) (The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law of Canada, and any law that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution is, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no force or effect.)

Subject: Weight-loss

Hello Friends,

Are there any church members who in their profession, or experience, have
free knowledge/advice/guidance they could share with me on how I can loose some serious weight ?

I've tried all the usual ways and I'm not having any luck at all and I'm
actually getting down-right depressed about it. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

That's probably a pretty strange request to ask of you, but when I think of
‘church’ I think of more than theology. I think of a collective of folks who
are caring and concerned for each others well-being and who are willing to
help/assist others in the church with their goals.

Regardless, I thought it was worth a shot. Thank you in advance for your
assistance and love. Hugz
Ken aka Sweetcum

ANSWER IS YES @ http://www.iamm.com/eat-fat.html

Ha  Ha  Ha  Ha  Ha  Ha Ha  Haa Haaaaa Haa Ha Ha Haa! 

Maybe the Women's Auxiliary should impart a list of rules on how to be a 
good husband... example: 
 

TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TURN OVER THE PAY CHECK AND NEVER FORGET A GOOD ORGASM GOES A LONG WAY...

     Or better yet...How to be a good harmonious couple...
     We have come a long way from the 50's baby and still going...

If you come to Malaysia and are found guilty of pocessing 
minimum 200 grams  "Ganja" you can be sentenced to death penalty. 
So be careful. Its not legal here compare to some country.

Subject: Church FAQ "We Cover our Heads in Court etc."

I am writing to express my gladness at your courageous mission. 
I myself would consider the wearing of yamulka etc. a mitzvot, and entirely appropriate.

Would a judge take off his robe to speak to you? Is the subtle message in
denying others their offices? I do not know - but I will be more conscious of
this myself in the future, and will share this e-mail with other brothers. I
believe you could be on top of an important precedent here, with deeper
implications, and should have the unanimous support both in voice and action
of clergy worldwide. 

May God bless you abundantly!

Reverend Karl D. Buchanan, O.E.
