Going through life, I realized early, I’d never be a Saint – but a demon?
That’s what it came down to on Friday, January 12, 2024 as I was preached a sermon by a man in pj’s.
The Pyjama Preacher came up to the Today’s Northumberland car stating “you’ll rot from the inside out.”
“Every cell in your body will turn on you and you will rot.”
Just a short while before I was up at the Cobourg Community Centre taking videos and photos of a spectacular new score clock.
Workers were still there after 6 p.m. and it looks amazing. Can’t wait to see it working in high-def.
After heading out from the CCC and taking a drive along King Street, the by-law enforcement vehicle was parked on College Street near The Warming Hub and right across the street from where a group meets on Friday night.
So, being that a storm would soon be upon us, I thought of taking a break and seeing if anything developed.
Silly me, I was waiting for a storm of snow.
But the epic storm received did I, was from the Pyjama Preacher and wow, did he cast his wrath upon myself.
Trying to have a low key, quiet conversation with the preacher wearing running shoes, pyjama pants, scarf and touque was impossible.
So, politely I sat in my vehicle while vengeance was cast upon thee.
“Every cell in your body is turning against itself right now – I command it.”
And all this time I thought it was the fast food I’d eaten over the years.
Where was this guy when I needed him 30-years ago.
“Quantum physics,” shouted the preacher to his one man congregation.
“Demon – go away.”
“You’re just a disease to the people.”
Watching the television preachers in my youth Evangelist Ernest Angley was one of the greats.
But this guy nearly tops him. He’s got this schtick down pat!
“You think that shit impresses me. You’re sick inside.”
The Pyjama Preacher said he could even see inside my heart.
Angley could do many things, cure the deaf, make you walk again, but even he could never see inside someone’s heart.
“That’s right I’ve got six candles lit out of seven. And I can see inside of you and you’re nothing but a demon.”
There were many things learned on this Friday night. All these times I thought Gene Simmons from KISS was the demon.
And the Pyjama Preacher said that in 2027 the demons “are going down.”
“The things below are feet – are going to eat.”
“And they’re going to eat you – and there will be no bones left.”
Glad at that point I can at least make someone happy then.
At that time there will be 144,000 angels that will rise.
“And they will remove the demons from this world – that’s a fact.”
The PJ Preacher walked away from the car so fast after his sermon I didn’t even have a chance to ask him if he had a collection plate for the offering.
But alas, he spotted another “demon” in the midst.
The by-law officer that heard the sermon and appeared to be coming to check on my safety.
But, it was to late, the PJ Preacher got the officer.
“Every demon on this planet is done.”
“This world belongs to the people of light – not demons.”
And before heading into the darkness of the evening, the Pyjama Preacher had one last piece of advice for us.
“The Father’s above are watching everything – and their fed up with your shit.”
