A paranormal podcast needs to cover this...

I was reorganizing my bookshelves after taking down my Christmas stuff and I found something unexplained.

A bible.

I know what you're thinking.  "So?  Buffy, you're a lapsed Catholic, you come from a religious family of course you'd have a bible or two around the house."

Because of course you all know my religious background well enough to mock my incredulity.

And you'd be right...I have plenty of bibles around here.  The big family one my mom gave me when I married, a bunch of daily driver bibles (three kids, 24 collective years of CCD and they collect.)  But none of them are NKJV.

Catholics don't do the New Kings James Version.  Ever.  It's not recognized as a legitimate version by the Vatican.

I can hear you now.  "Silly Buffy....your mom was fundy lite after being excommunicated for divorcing your dad.  Surely she didn't use the Catholic bible.  Don't bother Robert Stack about this."

Well, smatypantses....my mom went to some church called Evangelical Free and they used some user friendly version with modern language.  She wasn't a King James Fan.  And her bible was well used from being read daily and well marked and is in a drawer at my sisters house.  I've never seen this bible before.

It looks new, no wear whatsoever.  It was printed the year I was first married so I didn't live at home...I was married to my then husband who was a non-bible collecting Catholic.

It's bound in black leatherish material, gold letters on the cover and spine, slightly larger than an iPhone 6+.

How did it get here?  None of my kids have even veered toward fundyism.

Don't you feel bad for doubting me?  Robert Stack should be all over this unsolved mystery.

Ah, Robert Stack.  Kinda got weird towards the end of his life... he was a friend of a friend.  Refused/unable to housebreak his dogs and according to the friend who visited him, his floor was covered in stretched out disposable diapers, like wall to wall carpet.

Just a little LA gossip.

I do wonder how you got the rogue Bible, though.

If he's going to posthumously solve this mystery my dogs will teach his how to go potty outside.

It's weird right?

If you have to have a ghost that drops weird crap off, chocolates would be better. Or maybe they could take out the trash. BE USEFUL GHOST FRIENDS!

Or at least a nice Opus One, no one is judging here.

Didn't he have prostate cancer?

Since your user profile says you're "Persecuted by Destiny" I say- blame @Destiny. I think she sneaked it into your house while your were on sabbatical, leaving it there in hopes that you would find it and have to come back and post about it. ;) 

Or, could you have gotten it to look up fundy stuff (like maybe when JB made those claims about King James during the Scotland trip)?

It sounds like one of those "give-away" bibles. Some group (maybe the Gideons, I can't remember) gives them out to all the high school graduates in the school district my kids went to.

You give me WAY too much credit!!

Although the @Destiny theory needs investigating...I have requested an accounting for every minute of her time for the last year.

      You have to remember this is a woman who combed her dirty hair with a filthy fork from a rental van’s floor on her way to family wedding in Yosemite. She has also admitted to only changing her babies’ clothing every few days. Babies poop and puke and are forever soiling their clothing…She is lazy AF.

      What gets me is did she not even open it before she bought it? Or at least once she had it home!

      The anti-balloon people who rage on people’s funeral posts are the absolute worst category of people. 

      The funeral looked very sweet. You could tell she was very much wanted and that Jill was getting a lot of support. 
       

       

      I am glad so many Duggars were there to support the Dillards.

      The comments to her post about a balloon release for Isla has been absolutely overrun with people pointing out that balloons are really bad for the environment.

      I actually agree 100% with this, and spreading the word is key, but it seems in very poor taste to pile onto someone grieving a much-wanted baby. Social media is a brutal place and Jill didn't need this right now. Apparently she said the balloons were biodegradable - I don't know whether that's the case but either way it's an awful time for her and this makes it worse.

      From the photos she shared it looks like lots of Duggar family was there - I spotted Jim Bob among them. Joe and family was there but I didn't look too closely to notice who else had showed, and the howlers can be hard to tell apart. I'm glad Isla got a good family showing.

      The anti-balloon people who rage on people’s funeral posts are the absolute worst category of people.

      My apologies to all who love MCM furniture. But I think this piece is super ugly. It reminds me of my parents' 50's furniture. I even disliked our furniture then. 

       

      I don't know enough about the furniture and period to really have an opinion but I'm not a fan of that particular piece.

      AH had to admitted that she hadn't cleaned the inside of it- she opened the door and there was dust and crap inside.

      This I just don't get. Surely at least part of the point of it is storage? At the very least wouldn't you clean just to make sure you hadn't brought spiders or other insects in with you?? Betting at least part of the price difference was cleaning, restoring, polishing and insect-free guarantee!
