Satire, hyperbole, lampooning, mockery, taunting, comical, ridiculous. Call the scriptures what you will, just don't call it a holy adytum. A sanctuary of the soul, unless that soul wish to be amused to the point of 'holy' risibility. A gelastic disposition, this should be a mandated staple of all who read, study, or swoon over the scriptures. If one observes the plain translated English text as it has been offered by scholars. Time & again numerously places, & occasions read in the Judaeo-Christian Bible transmogrify, causing a scratching of the head, & quizzical thoughts. This book records several of those thoughts in recognition that much of the world today has forsaken, & forgotten how to laugh at itself. Let alone some praised notional religious anecdotes. This is a storybook offering readers a harmless, & jocose account of several Standard Bible anecdotes to help remedy this. Those that are too often read, & believed as only topics of homiletics. Including parodied episodes from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Proverbs, Psalms, the book of Esther; the gospel of Matthew, Acts, several epistles, & a reevaluation of Revelation. A Glossary (an A-Z) of unusual English terms, & phrases to assist a reader, & bring to an audience a facetious account of several Bible tales. Also, are parodied versions of several Apocryphal texts, from Apostles Paul, Peter... The Bible, nobody should be able to evade upon observation the root & branch of its ventriloquism, its quisquous bumfuzzling antics. This Standard Religiously Irrelevant Version is an aniconic motley collection of Judaeo-Christian Bible folktales highlighting several extraordinary modern oddities, beliefs homogenised with the folklore of the Christian religion. Tales that are entertaining & easily relatable to modern people. In celebration of the weirdness of the stories, humanity, & Promethean human ingenuity. Enjoy this facetious edition of the Bible

What do you think about the End Times? Is it a valid religious prospect; a prolepsis that sets your world atwitter? If you are someone open to different ways of viewing christian credenda; if you are open to perspectives that are unlikely taught by a believing institution; if you are curious about why humans believe, observe, and guess certain favoured end time practices; if you have ever wondered from where, or just how true certain beliefs are, then welcome aboard. Strap yourself in for an unconventional journey through several end time topics. This book is a collated compendium of the author's Ten year personal study efforts into numerous Christian End time proposals. Fed up with what seemed the brainwashing of nonsense the author began in 2010 to scribble thoughts and study conclusions about the religiously, christian concept of end time. This is an investigation into probing questions for why the believing community is so resolute regarding certain aniconic ecclesiastical teachings. Such as Rapture, Antichrist, Angels, Demons, Nephilim of Genesis chapter six & a variety of other topics. The continuing years spent in research, and writing meant that this investigation actively expanded the further practical, lucid answers were sought to the countless questions that study interests raised. Many conclusions surprised this author, and so are likely to gob-smack an audience also. It is not technically a monograph of what a reader might assume as a conventional study of the christian religion, or various end-time presumptions. Rather, this study is an unconventional, enlightening peering into some enigmatic End Time Apocalyptic topics. Told through the eyes, and with a curiosity of a former believer. Welcome to the Revelation

This is a dictionary of fatuous, desipient daffynitions. An 'A' to Zed of paronomasia. Another of the many wordbooks that tell stories or drive the imagination through word play; another wordbook in likeness to those authored of an earlier dictionary full of quips, wisecracks, and some oddities of English words. Like those, and the earlier editions, this little dictionary too offers an array of mischievous quips in definitions to the entries to many ordinary, modern, and commonly used words, and phrases. Daffynitions to these, and many other words: ACONITE: The most opportune period a con-artist, or other criminal advantages in applying their trade. MASH POTATO: Excreta deposited by a frightened ghost. SEVERAL: To dismember everything. UNDERCLUB: An underdeveloped clubbable, and more. In essence, this dictionary is an act of sarcastic wickedness. A punishing 'wokeless' wordbook displaying for enjoyment the wickedness to words, and modern phrases. Most entries comprise common words, and phrases.

How do you respond to the distress of a man who is sitting before you, in his own flat, towels draped around his shoulders, newspaper wedged beneath the brim of his hat, an upturned frying pan over his hat and a partially filled washing-up bowl balanced on top of the frying pan? He holds the bowl with one hand and a cigarette in the other, while he force fully proclaims the secret services have placed someone in the flat above to drop radioactive dust down on him all day and all night. To start with, you could offer him a light for his cigarette. The most likely medical response would be to consider increasing his antipsychotic medicine, though a cursory glance at his medical history suggests that inpatient admissions and large mUltiple prescriptions of injections and tablets have failed to eradicate the distressing fears that the secret services have occupied the ward above. Perhaps all the increased medication will achieve is to stop him going upstairs intent on retribu tion. It may even leaden his limbs sufficiently to make his current balanc ing act too difficult to sustain."

The client group referred to as the long-term mentally ill, the persistently severely mentally distressed, the chronically psychotic ill, or people with long-term mental health problems have generally received a poor deal from the traditional psychiatric services. Help has largely rested on custodial and medical treatments. The main focus of rehabilitative ap- proaches has often been dictated by predetermined expecta- tions which are usually set quite low. The assumption is often made that people in this client group are 'treatment resistant' and unlikely to make good use of opportunities to develop personal skills towards restructuring their lives. Though the emphasis of treatment has often followed medical approaches, and many non-medical people have sought to lay blame on the medical model (as characterized by diagnosis and medical treatments), it would be wrong and greatly over-generalized to follow this line of criticism entirely. In reality, some psychiatrists have been the pioneers and advocates of the diversity of approaches to community support, medical and non-medical. It is they who have often supported the development of other professionals and non-professionals and who often lead the pioneering efforts of research into methods of treatment and support.
