Genesis 1:27
“she”

Sarah is free in her heart,
Sarah knows no obstacles,
Sarah see’s her life as temporal,
Sarah follows God faithfully without doubt or question,
Sarah praises God when she’s tried,
Sarah never rebels to rebel – only against what taints truth.
Sarah knows she is spirit,
Sarah believes every word He says,
Sarah never looks with her eyes, because He is invisible,
Sarah is never be trapped by other creations, because they’re visible,
Sarah never considers me her source – because I’m created,
Sarah pray’s for me when I stumble,
Sarah knows I pray for her,
Sarah knows He can change my heart,
Sarah knows her heart is changing,
Sarah trusts in me because she trusts in Him,
Sarah believes in His power so she believes in me

His word is Sarah’s opinion,
He is why Sarah exists,
Sarah see’s Him inside me,
And see’s me as He sees me,
Sarah share’s Him inside her,
Sarah has no memory of what He has forgiven,
Sarah forgive’s because He did for her also,

no person, place, event, circumstance, opinion, information,
perception, doubt, fear or understanding from anyone
will sway what Sarah has tasted through me, because she knows
He gave it to her to taste!

Sarah is a spirit – waiting to transform,
Sarah knows me, because she knows Him,
Sarah loves me, because she loves Him,

what Sarah tastes in her heart and knows, cannot be stained,
and she will smile when mocked and threatened.
having mercy and compassion

and when Sarah reaches for me in spirit,
she will know that I am reaching toward her.

because He formed us – male and female He created us.

J.M.

so, I’m thinking about people and me, and what they’re issues are and how they think etc etc
i haven’t done anything or been in trouble w/ the police to reflect my pre salvation state since
I’ve been saved. and I come from a royal indonesian house. so my bloodlines are pure and
intact. and God has forgiven me for those things that I did in my youth before I was saved.
And better yet, He doesn’t remember them

yet, those that are liars now, and abusers now, and oppressive and controlling now, and
still living in their sin and won’t repent are judging me on things that haven’t occured in over
12 – 15 years. interesting stuff that is indeed…

isn’t it ironic that people who can’t reconcile their present condition and their own fears and
their own misery, want to judge me on things that occured years and years ago. I wonder
how they’d view Nicky Cruz? Or even some of the other major evangelists that have had
much more severe testimonies then I? are they scum too? you have to wonder about that.

you have to wonder, how people that live in sin presently, being unfaithful to their wives,
destroying and hating races and destroying and hating their own children and livnig in fear
of all things that they can’t control, when they can’t even control their own mind, wills and
emotions, or even trust God so that it takes years and years for them to have their prayers
answered – being double minded and sinning against God because they’re double minded,
justify raging against what God has already forgiven? are they that limited and simple? are
they that short sighted and incapable of recognizing their own sins and the pathetic nature
of their own lives and too proud to even repent and restore the things they’ve done and
destroyed.

for example. If indeed they were repentent, they would return full custody of Ethan back
to Sarah, seek counselling for themselves in order to embrace and accept and willingly
be accountable for the fact that what they are doing is wrong. That its oppression, and
fear which of course can NEVER be from God. They would speak the truth for the sake
of healing, and restoration, they would desire to have a loving caring family that indeed
does desire to live according to God’s word, and not the spirit of the world.

of course, I guess when one has been forgiven for as much as the Lord has forgiven me
it is easier for someone like me, or any of the other evangelists that have backgrounds
that are similar to be forgiving and be quicker to repent and restore. Cuz we know what
the cost is, and how hard it was in our own hearts.

and of course, the middle of the road arrogance of those that have only ever desired to
please themselves, and appear to be righteous to the world for the show of it, don’t at all
acknowledge that God is watching. Nor do they even care. They don’t wake up every
morning asking the Lord to guide their thoughts, and their hearts. Nor do they examine
their days every night to see if indeed they have sinned against God, cuz it doesn’t matter
as long as it went their way. No submission to God, only forceful action of self. And we
all know that a self willed person can never enter the kingdom of heaven, especially when
they’re adulterers and liars, and fornicators, and harsh oppressors.

well, that is a hard way to live man. to have that pit of guile in their bellies everyday and
not at all desire to have joy as their driving force for the day so that the Lord can bless them.

Its only rhetoric and empty words of noise, not true conviction of the heart, rather a piety that
comes from false teaching and false repentence.

God will restore Sarah. After all she is submitted to God. And sooner or later God will redeem
her and she will be free to be who God created her to be, instead of being what two failures
want her to be. That is ironic too. they can’t even manage their own lives, or relationship
with each other where it’s equal and respectful and loving, and they’re going to dictate to
another person what they think is right and wrong, inspite of the fact they can’t do it by
example. Its just empty words of “do as I say, not as I do” because that is what frightened
people do.

It takes character, and strength, and true submission to God to admit wrong. It takes an
even stronger desire to be accountable to correct and restore that which each of us has
destroyed. And only the cowardly will not attempt it. Because then they have to hold a
mirror up and assess themselves, with the same piercing gaze and hatred and disdain that
they have for everyone else. Sucks to be them.

the anatomy of a chat room

a chat room is a place where those who find interaction in their lives lacking, stale, stagnant, or frightening, for virtually every social and psychological reason, come in hopes of some socialization and general communication which they cannot find in their functional day to day activities; all of whom are frightened, most of whom are lonely, with self esteem and self worth issues, too strong for them to face in a true physical interactive environment; “I am alone. I am not brave or sure enough of myself to venture out alone, because it is dangerous, or I am not confident enough.” and then those folks gravitate to a chat room. It is an extension of the search for a relationship. In most cases amorous, in some cases, just any form of communication.

There are distinctions of categories as well: the couple, the anti-social, the substance dependent, the attention seeker. Each of these categories (except for the couple, which we’ll look at last, as it is a culmination of the other 3) is expressed quite oppositely in the chat room environment, then in true physical interactive space.

I will have to write out each of the dynamics for each of these categories, and will have future posts in this little journal as time goes by. As per usual the comments feature will be disabled, as this is my study based upon my observations as a participating non-participant. I also noticed that there are distinct differences between those participants from the English speaking north American continent and those that “chatted” from other nations around the globe.

From the 3 chat rooms I visited, I was able to break down the demographics to Teen/Young adult (16 – 30), midlife (30 – 50), and retirement (50+). Each of these demographics displayed a different dynamic in text-based interaction, however, i found that the most fascinating demographic was the midlife segment, and so the bulk of this observational dialogue will focus on that group. The chat room name and location itself is unimportant, since one can easily view my observations in any chat room fitting this profile.

I have wanted to watch this movie for awhile now, as I’ve had an interest in this quiet little side of our underground global economy.

Granted, that statement may sound a little dry and aloof, however, it is an economy. One in which every national government is heavily involved in my opinion.

The movie was “Taken” with Liam Neeson (official website). You can read the plot in the first link I left for you. Now keep in mind, that this movie is grossly ridiculous since quite simply no single individual – no matter what his skills – could take on the entire Albanian, French, and Arabic world and save his daughter. The fact of the matter is, that in this scenario, they would just kill the girl, and hunt him down, and that would be that.

However, for me, the reason behind this situation has always been of interest. It hits something inside me, and for the life of me, I don’t actually have any idea why if truth be told. None at all. However it does…

Now, i have been doing research on this subject on and off over the last few years, and the statistical information is sketchy at best. There is apparently a fine line between women who are forced, kidnapped and trapped into the human trafficking ring for sexual exploitation. And those whom choose it as a profession for various reasons.

Also, much of the trafficking is – believe it or not – propagated by women, upon women. Not men upon women.  For example, according to one source directly from the Ukraine, 80% of women who are trafficked into prostitution in other countries/cities, have been tricked and manipulated by women, with promises of jobs outside of the Ukraine.

I found that to be an interesting fact, which I was able to verify from multiple sources, through the CIA, and MI6, and Mossad public information, as well as the hidden documents which are searchable (if you know how to search), from the European Union.

I also found quite a bit of information from Sarah E. Mendelson, Director Human Rights and Security Initiative; Senior Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Program.  Specifically in the “barracks and brothels” issue with the peace keeping forces, within conflict regions, toward an increase in forced prostitution and trafficking, brought about by the service men within those regions.

Now obviously, it is going to be stated that it is the ‘minority’ of service men whom perpetrate these human rights violations, however…. I was in the military. That is quite simply a lie.  Having been a servicemen myself, I would estimate these violations closer as a 3:1 ratio. Meaning that 1 out of every 3 servicemen have at one point or time contributed to the propagation of human rights violations through the act of purchasing a woman for sex, with indifference to her state of affairs as a volunteer, or as a forced trafficked slave.

However… lets look at things realistically. We’re suppose to uplift our service men and turn a blind eye to their activities because they are putting themselves in harms way for our freedoms.

I have no opinion on this, it is simply the way things are.

I have always found that to be rather sick to be honest. There are various reasons why I find that more offensive, but not for what most of you reading this might think. However, that is another blog, and not relevant in this particular writing.  And brings up a plethora of issues of whom is exploiting whom, for those women who willingly and consciously choose this profession as an option.

I  have also discovered by various interviews and questions I’ve had with different women, that they were brought in by women, not men, though in many cases I wasn’t willing to push and pry as to the details which surrounded their feeling toward deeming prostitution an option.

There are just some things, that as a man, I know well enough not to pry. It would be inconsiderate, and lacking compassion, and it isn’t my right by virtue of gender, to ask those types of questions.

Anyway, there were other aspects of trafficking which has been summarily ignored by virtually every government, which is the trafficking of human beings for other employment, beyond sexual exploitation. However, as the focus is on prostitution, governments (none as a matter of fact) have any vehicle in place to deal with slavery for services, such as maids, factory work and so forth.

My last leg of research will be on my trip to Eastern Europe, however I have much more planning in that situation, since I’m walking into Hell to do that.  My plans will not be divulged here, since quite simply it is none of your business.

I don’t mind dangerous situations, because life in and of itself is inherently dangerous for anyone who lives in denial. I do not live in denial, and I make a distinction between what is killing, and what is murder.  Murder is never justified. Killing is acceptable.  It is not possible to take a soul of one who survives on the sustenance of other lives. They forfeit that human intrinsic upon their choice of profession.

I wanted to write a little bit about this, because there is one question I have always wondered about in regards to government involvement.

We have pirates boarding shipping freighters in the gulf and Atlantic, and the military has cracked down on those, since after all it affects the GNP of the nations involved.

Yet human trafficking doesn’t affect the income of nations, and doesn’t hurt the financial functioning of governments. So, why is anyone surprised that we still have slavery?  It is a business without a loss leader.  There is no shortage of people, and as a matter of point, we as a species are over populated.

Granted, I have a clinical dissociative emotional viewpoint on this, as well as many of my other topics, but there is a reason for that.  Emotion clouds judgement and blinds one to the ability to be objective.

I am interested in accurate research. Not emotional bias.  Mechanical unemotional dry critical thinking and research is the only way to gather actual data.  It hasn’t served me ill thus far. Prudence, patience, and checking is always better, than any emotional involvement.

Much of what I’ve found online, beyond the governmental documents, is rife with emotions, and outrage, which instantly makes the information itself suspect. Since any individual, who is passionate over a topic, can find ample evidence to support their passion.

I personally find that counter productive. Much of the best information is in the finding of contrary data, which can then be compared to the supporting data, and extrapolated through a dry clinical methodical cold blooded manner.

The facts are always in the middle. Never too far to the left, or to the right.

however, i do realize that there are emotional and self esteem issues involved, but… I don’t have any interest in that avenue. There are enough organizations, and individuals who are attempting to solve this issue from that point of view, that I need not put my energy in that arena.

Besides, I’m not interested in solving the problem, or “why” things are happening. My interest is more specific to who. And by who, I mean the governments around the world which are fully and cognitively aware of these human realities, and the reason for their disinterest.

You see, I don’t believe that these gangsters travel so easily without notice. I just think that they’re ignored.  The average persons life is of little interest to governments of any style. It is the national interest and in that, the financial state of affairs, that individuals are rather unimportant.

Anyone who has ever heard a speech, must surely realize this fact.

Here is the proof. Over the last 18 months there has been an increase in pirate raids in the gulf and in the Atlantic. Nothing was done when individuals were kidnapped. The UN and their various branches did nothing until freighters with supplies, goods and so forth were being stolen. It was only then that internationally, governments became involved.

They care about their money. They don’t care about you.

So I saw the movie. If you haven’t seen it then I’m going to recommend you stop reading this now, go see it, and then come back and read this, because well… I don’t feel inclined at all to censor my thoughts here when I would rather assume that a reader has actually seen the movie.  Makes for more interesting comments. Though, I suppose that the concepts which I’m going to present have little to do with the movie, as much as the ideas were provoked, or rather, stated the very same viewpoints I’ve always had in regards to God and science, and conversely, religion and science.

I went with a friend of mine, who was raised as a catholic, and went to catholic school, who was indoctrinated with catholic dogma. An ex-catholic born again Atheist (he read this blog and wanted me to properly define him). So our discussions always ended up with him returning to religion, and dogma, rather than toward God and a spiritual intrinsic.

It was very difficult to try to express, that my viewpoints, as a Christian, not as a dogma-drone, were based upon the spirit of what God had man write, rather than what man has chosen to interpret, in man’s unending natural need, to control others rules and regulations, which have sprung up the various religions.

You see I have always found science, and God to be indivisible.  In my opinion, neither the concepts of religion, or the concepts of science, can be proved. Neither. So they’re not in contradiction with each other.

They’re both theoretical.  No one can prove the creation of the universe, especially when we haven’t figured out even 1% of the attributes of our own physiology, or atomic structure, going as deep as quantum dynamics. Those are also, just theory.

I realize that many science aficionado’s will declare otherwise, however, my answer would be the same to you, as you would give to me. Prove it. Prove the big bang. Prove evolution. With physical evidence. Pure unadulterated, irrefutable evidence. NOT theory.

You can’t prove it either. So, you’re sitting in the same boat, just on the other other side. That’s it, that’s all.

Also, I don’t believe for a second that you as a science junkie can discuss your religion (and science is a religion by definition, if you choose to research the meaning of religion), without emotional inclusion. After all, it would be your passion, and passion is an emotional attribute.

Of course this all goes back to my pragmatic approach to everything.  You see there are rules to pragmatism.
1: Unemotional detachment to facts and counter facts. 
2: Recognition that the more acceptable an idea, the more “truthful” it becomes, irrelevant of all the evidence to the contrary.
3: Victors write history.
4: The more a concept supports a popular idea, the more likely it is going to be believed. Even if it is not provable.
5: If you, as a pragmatist, find yourself easily agreeing with what you’ve learned. Suspect it.  Because it fits with your personal ideals and viewpoints, and those ideals and viewpoints emanate from within you through educational and social conditioning by other men, and as you are innately flawed, then all human beings are flawed, and all information is suspect.

If you approach all information with those five rules, you are able to stand back objectively, without confusion, toward discovery of truth.

Logic, purest of all logic, rules all discovery of truth. Feelings have zero value.

I realize that many folks ascribe “conscience” and “intuition” to feelings, but they’re not. They’re completely different, since if properly understood, most would realize that their intuition, and their conscience will in most cases, be contrary to their emotional response or perception.

These are mathematically provable.

There are a couple things more to realize in relationship to the premise of this film. The fact of the matter is that it is true that science, in its concepts, were once wholly supportive of religious doctrine, not out of fear, but out of human ego. We all now, in this day and age, still live our lives as though the entire universe revolves around us, our wants, our needs and our ambitions, and we go about our day to day life with more of those agendas in us, then any interest in universal truth or esoteric altruism.

So when science declared that a: the earth was flat, and the sun and stars and astral objects revolved around earth. It was wholly accepted.  People were actually tortured, and beaten for believing otherwise and called narrow minded and naive.  Of course, it took a few hundred years to realize crap, that was wrong, but by then, already a number of folks had died and were tortured in arrogance. We have that same arrogance today.

Also keep in mind that science in this day and age, and our advancements, and enlightenment, has only been within the last 150 years. Really, not very long now has it?

We’re still not even able to prove concepts and ideas held by Plato, and Galileo. And they were more than “mere scientists” but advocates of spiritual pursuits. As a matter of fact, if you were to do historical research on both of those individuals, you’d discover a devout faith system within both of their individual personalities.

Faith has been around for at least 12,000 years. Our level of science, under 200. Let’s not make the same mistakes that were made thousands of years ago, and start burning people at the stakes for having faith, because you may turn out to be the ones whom are narrow minded and naive after all.

As I’ve stated in many other blogs. You can put an atheist into a room with a creationist and if you blind fold yourself. Wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in regards to either of their arguments. Neither would listen to the other, both would be narrow minded. Both would be closed minded. Both would accuse the other of those very attributes, and neither would admit that they are wrong.

Yet, you wouldn’t be able to tell who was arguing what, because you’re blind folded, and couldn’t tell them apart.

So whether you’re an advocate of science, or an advocate of God, you have a danger of being narrow minded.

Here is a little secret. The folks who are yelling the loudest about calling others narrow minded and naive, are the greatest criminals of performing both.

keep that in mind in all your debates. There are always two sides to every story and no one knows everything, especially a planet full of people, who haven’t managed to accomplish anything universally positive for mankind as a species, during their entire habituation of this little planet.

Let’s keep in mind that we’re the ones killing our only home ok?  Especially if you’re one of those folks who likes to declare science is God, and there is no other God.

Because even if you don’t say that. That is what you’ve said.

“there is no God, only science.” Which states, you already worship something, and that something is what defines you. are you so narrow minded and naive that you are unwilling to accept that others may not need science to be defined? Just as you don’t need God to be defined?  While you worship science?

=======================================================

append: for those of you who read about 3 lines in and then decide to fire off an offended indignant comment to me? As a few of you have already, well…. you’re a pure example of what it means to be narrow minded, and closed minded, and yes, i have received a few of those comments both from science folk, and religious folk.

Try not to be so zealous that you prove the blog you didn’t read ok? because I just delete your comment man. That’s it, that’s all.

I’m not you. I am a student of science and logic, because it is my profession. However, I am a son of God because He has proven his existence to me. So, either way, I will understand what you’re saying, but refuse to discount either, because I am not so arrogant to think that I know everything like say…. you…

the same you who can’t control when they need to sleep, who can’t control when they get hungry, and can’t control when they need to have a bowel movement.

I have a little more pragmatic respect for what I do not know or understand, rather than an arrogance over how I know more than everyone else…. you know… like you.
