It could a secret shared between two people within a church.
I thought it was funny that Bill asked Jesus and Mary to reassure his sister that she didn't have to respond to his notes but then tells his sister she has until Dec. 31, 2005 to respond to his note. Too cute.
This makes me sad, for some reason.
I wonder if she met the deadline, and what consequences occurred if she did not.
I just find it funny that he underlined the 5, in the 2005. It's as if he gave her more then a year, or perhaps didn't want her to think she had more then a year.

Jessica:
The find was submitted in 2004 Bill gave his sister AT LEAST a year and half to respond
I live one town over from Manchester and used to live there. I can't help but wonder about the people named Bill that I know... hmmmmm
What a passive-aggressive note. Invoking Jesus and Mary to say "well actually I am offended that you don't reply to my written notes" is kind of manipulative.
I don't think it's passive aggressive at all. The "smile" and "god bless".. I just think he's being patient and loves her.
Looks like Junky isn't very familiar with the nature of passive-aggressive behavior...
This note gave me the creeps...he sounds like he has something on her and is warning her in the sweetly-smiling manner of Vincent Price. I can almost hear the silky voice..."Smile" sounds like an order: smile so no one sees how scared you are. "My sister, my sister"...definitely saying "you are mine, in my power." Creepy. Dear Jesus and Mary, please protect this girl!
It surprised me that no one saw the sarcasm in the note... Like one of the you earlier said, it's likely a note being passed between sibling at church (note all the sacastic religeous references...)
I get a sarcastic vibe from this note and it is definitely passive aggressive. Bill's using religion to scare his "sista" into giving him a response: ". . . please reassure there's no rush", translation, "throw a lightening bolt at her and maybe she'll take me seriously".
Orinoco Womble, you are right, of course. Vincent Price! *shiver* Or even Christopher Lee.
Oh, hang on... sarcastic! Oh, I see. Brother and sister joke. Yeah.
Drew Thompson, in my opinion was right on. I hated going to church when i was little. a note like this reminds me of little kids acting like the gals from "Death Becomes Her" laughing in the back of a church, mocking the sermons that they are falling asleep listening to. or maybe they're in a private catholic school and hate it. who knows, but i love how much everyone reads into this stuff. its awesome :)
It is a bit creepy for me too...kinda reminds me of that radio show, Delila (spelling??). For those of you who do not get US broadcasting...this sickly sweet woman gets on the radio and talks about how wonderful life is and then decides for everyone (most of the time) what song best describes their situation and plays it...mostly oldies. I would say that a lot of people like Delila, but me on the other hand am a little creeped out by her. When I used to work in retail I had to listen to her show and all I could imagine is Martha Stuart with a sickly sweet smile on her face while stabbing the back of some innocent audience member.
I know....a little demented right but this picture reminds me of all of those Delila talk shows I had to listen to.
actually...I said picture but meant note.
This is honest to God, for Real, my Step Dad. How this note got on this site is beyond my understanding. Bill is what he likes to call a Catholic activist (read Crazy Person). He writes lovely letters to my sister and I all the time about how we are so precious to him but that we will surely burn in hell if we don't become Catholic before such and such a date. My sister and I are grown with families of our own, btw. My mom (thankfully) married him after we were out of the house, and though she has left him several times for abuse that was in her own words, "not that bad", she always goes back. So it is sad, and it is creepy, and he looks like neither Price or Lee. Imagine Michael Landon's sidekick in Highway to Heaven with Crazy Eyes.
