I've accepted an offer to work for the Diocese of Sodor and Man, so my work will be religious. Glad to meet with anyone over a pint or two. If I recall aright you do not need a work permit to be a sky pilot especially an Anglican one??? Is that so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 So let's get this straight, somebody who believes in something that has no hard evidence that this something exists and this something causes misery, destruction, lies etc can waltz into any country without a visa.?

We've got enough God bothering twats here trying to ram their God down our throats and make money off the vulnerable and I'm saying that as a believer in God. We don't need more.

You can't use a visa designed for pilots, even if you are one, if your intended job isn't to be a pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us "sky pilots" get special treatment. Well you are in the right place if you want to convert the heathen! The Isle of Man has a long history of Celtic saints and mystics living alone in small stone chapels like hermits...If you go on YouTube under "Time Team" they excavate one of these "Kiels" (Probably wrong spelling!) This is on Castletown golf links (Time Team)... If it is not a silly question, are you sailing to the Isle of Man in a stone coffin like the Celtic missionaries did from Ireland? Will you carry a miraculous staff, plant it in the holy Manx soil and see it sprout into a miraculous tree. They had a habit of doing things like that the old Celtic "Sky pilots"... On a serious note, I did retranslate and reinterpret the Gospel of Mark into what I think was its original esoteric format. This is not exactly high volume publishing but you can see the titles under my name (Real name this Barrie Stevens) if you enter same in the on-line main catalogue of the British Library and likewise the SOLO catalogue of the Bodleian Library (Oxford university) and I think Trinity College Dublin Stella catalogue on line....Basically though I am still an Anglican inside. I did most of my scriptural work on the Isle of Man and published it elsewhere so I suppose I am a "Sky pilot" also!...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
