This is the question that needs to be answered.
I believe Divisional Reps have media training to ensure nothing they say can be misinterpreted, and the media is very good at twisting people's words to satisfy their own agenda.
If this interview hasn't been sanctioned and you say something that could be viewed as bringing RM into disrepute.........close the door on your way out.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Hardly IIRC from religious studies at school wasn't he the one that carried the cross when Jesus was unable to.
According to some Gnostic traditions, Simon of Cyrene, by mistaken identity, suffered the events leading up to the crucifixion, and died on the cross instead of Jesus. This is the story presented in the Second Treatise of the Great Seth (which sounds like it ought to be one of the StarWars films)

I think Roy's "Granny Smith" book pretty much said it all for us when it was on Radio 4. :Applause :Applause

In all three of the gospels that mention Simon,he doesn't appear until the morning of the crucifiction...after Jesus allegedly had the crap kicked out of him for 12 hours...now that would be a hell of a case of mistaken identity.
Is that him lying there,a bloody,beaten half corpse or is it that bloke walking down the street whistling? :chuckle :chuckle

He's not the messiah...he's just some random Libyan Jew.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
