Tonite Belial bring sum of the peepel who work for him outside the T.O.G. center in the nite time and he had sum peepel with cameras and microfones and sum of the other Ziz was out there to and they had a big tresur chest full of old books. When we was walking outside I ask Belial whats going on and Belial says its time for a good old fashon book burning. I ask Belial why we got to burn books cause thats a waste of paper and all and Belial says it wont be a waste dont worry.

It stinks prety bad and there is some gros stuff on some pointy sticks outside. I ask one of the Ziz what is all that red stuf and why does it smell so bad and he says they are making a point. I dont know if he meens a point like on the end of the sticks or a point like he wants to say something. I dont want to look stupid so I dont ask anymore I just cover up my nose cause it smells so bad.

Belial says here we go and then more and more peepel with cameras drive up in vans and more peepel with microfones get out and stand in front of the cameras and then it gets reel lowd and all the smells and noise is making me dizy. Belial says in his microfone something about how all the things peepel lurn and beleve in church is all the same and since peepel only want to beleve the things they lern they hate everybody else.

Belial says hate can be used and can be power. He says being a slave does nobody any good. The Ziz start to put all those books from the tresur chest into the fire. I ask one of the Ziz by me what are all those books and he says those are church books Paul. I ask him if he meens like church books about God and he says he meens church books about every god and every church all over the hole wurld.

That fire grows and grows and peepel from the T.O.G. center throw in books to. I have to stand far back on the wall cause it gets to hot and Oscar is in my jaket and I dont want him to get hot. If something dont feel good to Oscar he will make a litel sqeek. One time I step on his tail cause of a aksident and he sqeek and I cry and cry cause I feel so bad to step on Oscars tale even tho it was an aksident.

Everybody stand around the great big fire and throw books in and Im still not sure why we need to burn up these church books. But later Belial told me its part of the plan to make peepel happy and free so I guess that sounds pretty good. We all stand outsid for a reel long time and Belial gives speches for all the peepel with cameras. Oscar gos to sleep in my jaket and the fire is warm and makes me want to go to sleep to.

A Ziz hands me a book and I keep a page so I could spell it rite in my jurnul. The book is called Pauline Epistles. The Ziz says Paul that's a reel old one throw it in the fire. I say whats it abowt? He says its by sumbody whos name is Paul like mine. I ask what the other Paul rite about and he says he was a guy who killd peepel but then change his mind. I said thats good rite and the Ziz says no its no good to sel out. I dont know what that meens.

After a long time the fire gets smaler and the peepel get back in the vans and drive away. Belial look at the fire for a littel bit and say we on our way. Then he smile at me reel big with all his sharp teef and say lets go inside. All the peepel from the T.O.G. center walk back in but I stay outside just a littel bit I dont know why but me and Oscar stay and watch the fire get small for just a littel bit longer.

Im not sure what time it was but a man with dirty pants and shirt walk up to the fire and looks a littel sad maybe. I say Im sorry he missd all the books and now the fire got littel. He smile and seem like a nice man. His hair is reel messy and he looks dirty like he had no shower in a wile. He looks at the sheet of paper in my hand and ask what that is and I say it use to be in a book. He ask to see and then he read the name Pauline Epistles and I tell him the guy who rote it has the same name as me Paul. The man says thats reel nice and says his name is steven and I ask him how to spell it for my junrul and he says like this s-t-e-v-e-n.

The man walks arownd the fire and picks up some peeses of books and papers that didnt go all the way in the fire or get burned all up. I ask him doesnt he want to burn those books up and he smiles at me and says no he likes some of these books and he reely likes the one I have a page from. I ask was it his book and tell him I didn't know and im sorry if I burned his book all up. He says no thats okay he has his own then he says here why dont you take these and hands me the books he picked up from the ground that didnt burn all up.

Steven is reel nice so I take the books and say thank you. Oscar poke his hed out my jaket and steven pets Oscar and says he is great. I like when peepel are nice to Oscar. not like that meen old Jude who calls Oscar a rat and a weesel.

I ask Steven if he wants to come and stay with us at the T.O.G. center and he says thats okay no thank you and I ask where he sleeps and he says wherever he can. He says he has work to do and I tell him Belial is reel good to help peepel do things cause he can make them work better and reel good too. Steven says thank you but he has someone is helping. He smiles reel nice and shakes my hand and says he will see me again soon. I say how and he says he will find a way.

I like steven he is reel nice. me and Oscar go back inside and then I go up to my room and rite in my jurnul and thats what im doing now. i think some more hapind tonite but im not good to remember it all. thats all I can think of so I gess I will stop now and go to bed. love, Paul
