Presbyterian Church

The **Presbyterian Church** or the **Office** or the **Parliament** or the **Hopeless Situation Parliament** is one of the major factions in *Backstroke of the West* and opposes the other, the West or the Big.

## In Backstroke of the West

* The Presbyterian Church is also referred to as the 'office' by Speaker D and he appoints Allah Gold there as a 'private'.
* The 'private' are as actually elders who are members of the Presbyterian Church. The elders in the bootleg movie are:
	+ Vanquish Is - a small alien with a female voice who attempts to ruin the West.
	+ Text How Big - a black man who hates blacks and tries to catch adults.
	+ Ratio Tile aka Section Ratio General - a depraved man who also is a Hopeless Siutation Warrior and teacher of Gold.
	+ An Unnamed Elder - an alien who calls Ratio the 'Card Ratio' and adds minor dialogue.
	+ Gold, allowed in after the Speaker appoints him and Vanquish supports him. Text allows Gold but does not grant him the tile of elder.
* The military faction under the Presbyterian Church are the Hopeless Situation Warriors.
* Speaker D says, "As long as he (Space General) is on the hoof, the parliament will support the war by voting." This parliament is another name for the Presbyterian Church, although in-canon he refers to the Senate.
* The parliament thus apparently passed a vote, and after Ratio told Gold this, the latter exclaimed, "This mean the less freedom with more wars, like this not good?"
* When we see the Presbyterian Church first meeting together, Vanquish affirms that the parliament accepts Gold's entry into the Presbyterian Church or parliament. Immediately, Text How Big teachers allows Gold in but doesn't grant him the title of elder. This is the first indication of the different views of the two elders.
* After the meeting, non-elder Gold complains the meeting was boring and nothing of that sort has happen in the Gram Republic's history. Ratio then informs him the parliament dislikes him due to his 'long peace' moves and finally gives Gold his secret mission: to spy on the Speaker's sex, homosexual sex life or as the script says, "They want to know him at f\*\*\*."
* Secretly. Gold meets with the Speaker who says, " I worry the collective intelligence of the parliament" and " gold, you know that I can't depend on this parliament." He continues to sow confusion and distrust further saying, "The hopeless situation parliament wants to rule." **Hopeless Situation parliament** is yet another name for the Presbyterian Church, which is another hilarious name. The D reveals he knows the elders sent Gold to spy on his sex life and that the Hopeless Situation parliament plans to expose his sexual activities and 'betrayal' him. Gold slows believes him and the D specifically says the Presbyterian Church "let you keep watch on me". The D reminds Gold that he has the power not the Hopeless Situation elder but Gold says they have "justice". D counters in a rhyme, "Justice to see from which aspects see." He continues saying the elders are similar to all looking forward to the right, most possibly the political right - although one Troopseses did declare himself as Republicans.
* The D makes his reveal that he himself is a "Hopeless Situation Presbyterian" although Gold makes no reaction and says the group is private. The D then starts telling the tragedy that Reach The Man remaking that an elder does not know the story.
* The parliament reconvenes with Vanquish meeting via hologram. Gold, still not an elder, tells the others, " Speaker the decision lets me coming forward" stating the Speaker allows him to go pursue the Space General. Again, the black elder rebuffs him while the alien elder supports Gold, saying he has the experience. The unnamed elder ends it, saying that the Card Ratio should go.
* As Gold walks with Ratio, he apologizes and then remarks, "I was just made by the Presbyterian Church." See the first image above which is hilarious.
* Later on when Gold was talking to his wife The Plum Of, he expresses his distrust with the Presbyterian Church and his teacher, saying, "ratio tile with Presbyterian Church all distrust." Gold declares he can't be a hopeless situation - hilarious.
* Text How Big towards the end of their third meeting remarks after the Unnamed Elder, "The hopeless situation Presbyterian Church".
* After Gold reports the status of Space General to the Prime Minister, the latter remarks as per the second image above, "The Presbyterian Church like enjoys you not". That is super hilarious.
* After telling Gold to get up, the now West Emperor says the Presbyterian Church can't teach Gold anything more and is "just a flock of to fish for fame its person".
* The West Emperor next surmises the church will try to overthrow the Senate.
* Because of their fixation on the Space General, the main elders of the church all separate from each other, leaving only Text to learn that the Pudding is from the West. Text just like his in-canon character, could have killed the West Emperor not for Gold rushing in and cutting of the black elder's hands. Then, time is up and the Troopseses many other elders and Hopeless Situation Warriors. Vanquish Is survives, tries to ruining the West by fighting the West Emperor but ends up leaving the country.
* Even with it's name, the church does not have any religious acts, although there is the Wish Power, not really explained. The sold member, the foul-mouthed Ratio Tile does believe "everybody is good" which isn't close to the Nicene Creed. They do live up to their alternative name, Hopeless Situation Parliament as they first deal with hopeless situations and in the end, are a hopeless bunch.

## In Canon

The Presbyterian Church is of course the **Jedi Council** or **Jedi High Council**.
