Christianity
& the Churches
All of the self-styled ‘Christian’ churches today without exception have so
completely departed from the simple beauty and clarity of the teachings and
example of JESUS CHRIST that they effectively serve Satan in most of what they
do. Not one church even remotely represents true Christianity in action (as is so clearly described
in a faithful translation of the Bible - King James, for example) and the
thousands of various denominations and other pseudo-Christian organizations and
groups started in the last 1,800 years or so are entirely the fabrication of
man. All do considerably more harm than good, the minute amount of apparent
good they manage to do is achieved at enormous cost and this is most often
misguided, inappropriate and completely counterproductive. It is no
exaggeration to say that the modern 'Christian' movement is one of the most
outrageous examples of wholesale, institutional fraud anywhere in the world
today and all church organisations are morally and legally culpable.
In particular churches scandalously squander the most obscene amount of
resources donated to them in CHRIST’s NAME in
building, repairing and restoring their totally unnecessary, grossly
under-utilised, ugly, extravagant, hugely expensive and decadent cathedrals,
churches, chapels, halls, headquarters, offices, monasteries, convents,
vicarages, manses, presbyteries, camps, conference & retreat centres, bible
colleges and other miscellaneous buildings as well as on their own exorbitant,
unearned salaries, cars, accommodation, office, travel and other expenses.
These spiritually bankrupt, financially wealthy business organizations bereft
of the truth are totally preoccupied with money, power, status and their
various investments and trust funds and obsessed with the pathetic pretence of
wordy hypocrisy and superficial ritual that make up their totally unbiblical,
contrived church services.
Most so-called Christians today endlessly talk about the Bible, read, study,
memorise, quote & preach from and sermonize about it, plaster it all over
their walls in signs, endlessly write about it in leaflets, brochures and
books, sing it in hymns and play it in whiney, pseudo-Christian music lacking
in any heart - but they never actually live it (Acts 2:44. 45). They do
not obey CHRIST's teachings nor follow HIS example
and as a consequence they have no idea about the HOLY SPIRIT or about GOD's will in their individual lives, none whatsoever.
Their ministers and congregations do not look like Christians, dress like
Christians, wear their hair (nor grow beards) like Christians, behave like
Christians nor live like Christians and they break one of GOD's
commandments every time they mention HIS NAME, in vain. Their worthless
opinions and theories about Christianity should therefore be resolutely ignored
and treated with the contempt and derision they so richly deserve. In fact they
have mistranslated, misinterpreted, modified, diluted, added to, subtracted
from, perverted and mutated true Christianity into a form of heretical, pagan
idolatry, minimal, religious tokenism and a wealthy, westernised, suburban sect
to suit themselves, all based on the traditions of men. As my wife Mary has
commented, "Why don't they call themselves heathens and put a sign over
their church doors saying ‘Give us your money and we will lead you to hell’ -
at least this would be the truth!"
In complete contrast real Christianity is easy to understand and implement in
our daily lives. To be specific:
1) The Full immersion
baptism, outdoors somewhere beautiful, in a lake, natural springs, river,
estuary or in the sea, around GOD's works, of older
children, adolescents and adults who really believe in a GOD of LOVE, HIS
SON JESUS CHRIST and the true meaning of HIS sacrifice. Baptism in CHRIST's precious Name is the literal washing away and
forgiveness of all previous sins and the beginning of the walk to Salvation
through sanctification by faith.
Without full immersion Baptism no-one
can be part of the only church mentioned in the Bible, the BODY of CHRIST, a
unified, co-operative, fully integrated global community of called, chosen,
faith-filled, obedient, loving, persecuted people (Acts 4:32, Romans 12:5, 1
Corinthians 1:10, & 12:13, 27, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Ephesians 1:22,23 &
4:3,4,6,13, Philippians 1:27 & 2:2, Colossians 1:18, 4:15, Hebrews 2:11
& 1 Peter 3:8). Infant Christening is a pointless, pagan ritual invented by
the early Catholic Church already lost to Satan - how can a baby seriously be
expected to be aware of sin or have freedom of choice?
The HOLY SPIRIT, the SPIRIT of the
resurrected CHRIST, is a cohesive, coordinating force that leads all those
genuine Christians under its influence to instinctively help one another and
combine without disagreement or serious dispute. There are no rich Christians
or poor Christians (because we are always prompted by the SPIRIT to give and
share, each day), no unresolved doctrinal issues and none but the most
transitory differences between members of the Church. No true Christian could
ever or would ever start up, support or belong to any church
organisation called by any other name than the BODY of CHRIST and Christians’
principal loyalty and obedience are also to GOD through CHRIST, not to national
governments or countries.
GOD is perfect and without division so that all of the hundreds of thousands of
different man-made denominations, church groups and sects worldwide (including
the Catholic Church) that claim to be Christian today under a multitude of
contrived names, are nothing whatsoever to do with HIM, with CHRIST, HIS
teachings or example.
2) The celebration of a Christian Sabbath
on the seventh day, Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, the same day CHRIST
HIMSELF celebrated. The Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday three
centuries after CHRIST by a group of wealthy, ambitious, violent bishops,
disobedient, impertinent, heathen upstarts who had absolutely no authority nor the necessary credentials to change one of GOD’s commandments. This decision was made to distance the
‘Christian’ movement from the Jews who were being persecuted, a move totally
without Biblical justification.
The Sabbath is to be enjoyed with
family and friends thanking GOD for all HIS blessings, gathering spontaneously
as GOD leads in our own homes or any of the public buildings freely available
(like the upper room for the “last supper”). Whenever possible it is an
excellent idea and good for the children to meet outdoors, somewhere natural,
peaceful and beautiful - the seaside, parks, forests – perhaps followed by a
BBQ feast. It is certainly appropriate to spend this day being genuinely
appreciative of all that GOD has blessed us with, playing stringed instruments,
cymbals and drums, joyfully singing psalms and generally using the time
productively for spontaneous rejoicing and renewal. Christian never, ever make money on the Sabbath day although GOD may ask us to
help others in some way. Sunday is the first day of the week for true
Christians, a good time to review our possessions and see what can be given
away or shared with those in need (1 Corinthians 16:2). Sunday may also of
course be remembered as the LORD’s
Day, the day of the week that CHRIST rose from the dead, but this in no way
replaces our obligation to observe the Sabbath.
Christians gather together
spontaneously led by the SPIRIT, sitting in circles and speaking and singing
together as the SPIRIT gives utterance. Sitting in rows like children at school
with someone up on a stage or podium dressed in clerical robes at an altar is a
regression to the Old Testament Temple worship, again nothing to do with
Christianity.
3) Give graciously and generously to
those who ask of you, whatever they really need, when they need it. It is never right to refuse to give and share
reasonable standard accommodation, bedding, clothing, food and transport to not
only those who ask directly of you but also to all those you know are in need,
anywhere in the world! (Matthew 6:11, 10:8 & 25:35-46, Mark 10:21, Luke
6:38, Acts 20:35 & 2 Corinthians 9:7) There is no excuse because the
populations of all the wealthy
nations know exactly what is going on all over the planet with their daily
access to radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, books, telephones and the Internet.
It is of course not right to give money to a wastrel, hoarder, glutton, smoker,
alcoholic, drug addict, gambler, fraud, child abuser, pervert, sadist or to
anyone who is rich in absolute terms. This however describes virtually all the
clergy in the churches today in the developed nations especially – so many are just
thieves who steal from CHRIST, self-appointed opportunists who live off HIS
precious NAME and freeloading imposters who accept all their living effectively
under false pretences.
It is a particularly disgraceful sin and an example of sick & twisted voyeurism
to know about need, have it in your power to help yet refuse to give and share
of any and all the available resources at your disposal (1 John 3:17,
James 4:17) – all church denominations and the elderly are the worst culprits
in this regard, especially in countries like Australia. In fact the
congregations and clergy of the major churches could easily solve all the
socio-economic problems facing modern society today: they have the resources
(money, buildings, cars, vans, trucks, buses and even planes and ships,
bedding, clothes, furniture & food) and the people, all they lack is the
willingness to try, to get out there and do it.
Make no mistake, GOD will hold all those responsible who choose to not help (or
only minimally help) for every luxury and indulgence that they waste their
money on (see pets, hobbies & sports below) while children, women and men
live in danger, distress, squalor and extreme privation locally or overseas.
(See Note (3) below)
The Bible states very clearly that on the last day we will be judged by CHRIST’s own words (John 12:48) and we already have this
judgement available in the New Testament to assess how well we are doing on the
pathway to Salvation. Christians are not just talkers or sitters, they are doers of GOD’s
word, obedient to CHRIST’s teachings, and this is
nothing to do with going to church services or Mass (John 8:51, 52, James 1:22,
Romans 2:13, 1 Peter 1:17 & 1 John 3:18). In fact all the churches today
break at least five of the Ten Commandments, especially the one about taking
the LORD's NAME in vain! If CHRIST’s
teachings were held up to judge the lives of those from the United States of
America, for example, it is fair to say that despite their population’s 85%
claimed Christian commitment, 99%+ of them are going to Hell for Eternity!
4) Take no thought of tomorrow; no definite plans or firm undertakings. Everything beyond
today is only ever done, GOD willing, and the final decision is always left to
the day itself (Proverbs 27:1, Matthew 6:34 & James 4:13-16). If the
churches took this directive from CHRIST HIMSELF seriously, they would not
organise services, meetings, bible studies, conferences etc in advance and they
would use all the funds at their disposal (especially the trust accounts and
investments) today to solve global
poverty, not hoard them for future “possible” contingencies,
5) Christian prayers are always
simple and to the point, always
include the LORD’s Prayer as HE instructed (Matthew
6:9-13 & Luke 11:1-5) and avoid the long-winded, boring, pointless,
rambling monologues so common in all church services today (Matthew 6:7,8).
Christians pray formally at least three times a day, in the morning before they
get out of bed, in the middle of the day and before retiring at night, on their
knees with their faces to the ground (like the traditional Jewish & Islamic
praying position). Praying in this position is the only proper way to address
GOD formally considering HIS Immensity as the Creator of the whole Universe
when compared to our insignificance as HIS Creation. Christians are also in
constant communion talking with HIM informally throughout every day as we walk
with HIM following HIS guidance each step of the way.
6) Christians always show the first
basic lesson of being a true adult - caring for their own bodies and spirits.
This means being slim, fit and healthy in the natural course of an
active, giving and sharing life unselfishly devoted to the needs of others -
there is no excuse or exception for race or age. Christians do not smoke, chew
tobacco, use any illegal drugs, abuse alcohol or are addicted to or dependent
on prescription drugs and show moderation in all things. You cannot care for or
love anyone else unless and until you can care for yourself, without
indulgence, and the health of the body always faithfully reflects the
health of the spirit within and vice versa.
Christians also behave outside consistent with their different but
complementary inner essences as men and women, boys and girls, do not conform
to silly, transitory, very recent social fashions nor believe in the fatuous
nonsense of gender ‘identicality’. Men and women are
physically different, emotionally different and spiritually different - and
thank GOD this is so! (See “Men Everywhere” & “Women Everywhere”
on the web site). This means men and women not competing with one another in
any area of human activity either in what they do, how they behave, how they
dress and how they wear their hair. In particular Christian women wear their
hair long and dress modestly in women's clothing (skirts, dresses, saris & salwars, not garish or attention seeking, loose and never
tight-fitting or revealing, never pants, slacks, shorts or jeans – these are
men’s clothing, totally unsuitable for the shape and modesty of women. True
Christian women are disgusted and offended by the emotionally lesbian, neutered
females increasingly common today with their ugly, shorn, boys’ haircuts,
ridiculous men’s clothing, unhealthy, painful, dangerous and damaging high
heels and pseudo-mannish manner! Christians (and all those who genuinely serve
a GOD of LOVE) never dress themselves or their children in silly uniforms (like
nuns, priests, Salvation (Damnation!) Army officers, Mormon ‘Elders’, Orthodox
Jews, school children, nurses, police, army, fundamentalist Muslim women in Burkas etc) nor have memberships of groups other than the
true Church, the BODY of CHRIST. Christians never wear black - it is
depressing, the absence of colour and light.
Christian women confine themselves to responsibilities which do not over-extend
themselves but give them real fulfilment, meaning and purpose as women (1 Peter
3:1-6, Titus 2:3-5, 1 Timothy 2:9-12, 15 & Proverbs 31). It should be noted
that the global unemployment problems today are largely caused by females
competing with and taking over the jobs which men, especially young men, should
be doing, whilst avoiding their own primary responsibilities as women, mothers,
grandmothers, sisters, aunts etc. Older women in particular work for all the
wrong reasons, to avoid facing the emptiness of their lives and ‘marriages’,
and invariably abandon their daughters and daughters-in-law, leaving them to
cope looking after their grandchildren alone most of the time. Look at young
mothers with children shopping in supermarkets to see the impossibility of
women properly caring for children without constant daily support.
7) True Christians know that there
is only one person in the world that is the other part of their own soul, with
whom they can form a true Christian marriage based on real love. To find this
person does not mean looking outwards but rather involves working on yourself,
looking inwards, facing the truth about your own life, childhood, parents and
schooling, putting more care and real LOVE into your life and relationships
each and every day and learning with the help of GOD to recognise, acknowledge
and constructively discharge both the repressed backlog of feelings denied for
so long and your present feelings openly and spontaneously. When you need your life partner, he or she will be
there.
Of course all of us are able to form worldly relationships with many other
people, even for life, but these inappropriate and unhealthy partnerships will
invariably be infatuation based on desire/lust and other indirect expressions
of past, unresolved feelings from childhood, not real love. Consequently these
liaisons will be more like mother-son, father-daughter or at best a
brother-sister (and not a husband-wife) relationships.
A true Christian marriage is a mutually faithful, devoted, honest, respectful
and passionate commitment for life and all aspects of the marriage
improve with age. See Mark 10:7, 8, 9, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5 &
Ephesians 5:31. It is indeed a great mystery (Ephesians 5:32) which only true
Christians appreciate as this mystical, loving relationship is related to CHRIST's LOVE for HIS Church, the BODY of CHRIST. All those
who have not been freed from the things of the world know little or nothing
about this – and the personal loss to them is huge.
Christian couples are always matched in age (only a few years apart), size and
height (the man 20-30cms taller so he can protect his wife and hold her under
his arm where she feels safe), racial background and culture. Most interracial
relationships are dishonest, have very imbalanced power dynamics and often are
just a thinly disguised form of prostitution. For males they are often the
abusive and violent recourse of those who cannot form successful relationships
with their own race.
Christians are not constrained nor conformed to the artificial roles, cultural
norms or expectations of the world. Christian parents recognise that their
children’s, all children’s, primary and most important need is to have a father
and a mother who are devoted to one another and to their sons and daughters,
who spend a great deal of time together and who contribute to their marriage
and to parenting in the very different but complementary ways as men and as
women.
See Men Everywhere, Women Everywhere, Health
& Healing and Pregnancy on the web site
http://www.geocities.com/michael_the_one.
All other relationships, especially same gender 'couples', deprive, neglect,
invalidate, abuse and violate any and all children unfortunate enough to be
brought up in such a deplorable, twisted, loveless, essentially violent
environment.
8) The Book of Acts is clear about
how true Christians live, selling off all their superfluous assets, sharing
everything in common, giving to the poor and generally living simply but well
with a magnificent quality of life (Acts 4:32). Obviously they fully
appreciate the grave spiritual dangers of wealth - the camel and the eye of the
needle (Matthew 19:23, 24 & 1 Timothy 6:10) – and that the love of money is
the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Virtually all those who live in the
developed countries are rich in absolute terms (hot showers are a luxury as is
piped fresh water) while tens of thousands of children worldwide are dying each
and every day for the lack of so little, in particular potable water.
Christians are always prompted by the SPIRIT to give away and share of all that they own, not just an
occasional, minimal token financial donation to make themselves feel better, to
keep the problem well distant and to try to work off their very reasonable
guilt. Real Christians and especially Christian Ministers live in faith, simply
(but well), they own very little (less and less the older and closer to GOD
they become) and happily work 6 days a week purely in exchange for
accommodation, food, clothing, fares, postage, phone calls and other basic
needs (Romans 1:17). They never retire!
It is not poverty which is the problem today, it is
excess, waste, duplication, hoarding, acquisitiveness, avarice, gluttony and
opulence, greedy, violent, cruel, self-indulgent behaviour which should be
treated with disapproval, contempt and disgust. It will certainly receive a
full, thoroughly deserved reward, both in this world and in the next (James
5:1-5).
9) All Christians are
supposed to be open to hospitality and welcome strangers (Matthew 10:40, 25:35,
Romans 12:13, 1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:8, Hebrews 13:2 & 1 Peter 4:9) and all
have a particular, personal, ongoing responsibility to provide physical,
emotional and spiritual support and assistance to babies & children (the
general standard of child care today is appallingly bad), to minority groups,
to the poor, homeless, new immigrants, refugees, widows (and all females on
their own such as divorcees and single mothers), fatherless (most children are
effectively fatherless and increasingly motherless today), those addicted to
gambling, alcohol & drugs, to prisoners (and their families) and to the
sick (especially the mentally ill), disabled and oppressed.
This means Christian women actively
helping with shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, folding clothes and
looking after babies and children – this would blessedly stop the selfish,
lazy, noisy, grossly under-utilised and overindulged females in all church
congregations from sitting and talking (or singing and performing
inappropriately)! In fact if they were all doing what they are legally and
morally supposed to be doing, there would be at least 60% less obesity, drug
& alcohol abuse, violence, crime and work for the police, courts, prisons,
health and other related services and huge savings in costs, both present and
future, and no need for such organisations as St Vincent de Paul. See Note (9)
below.
10) It is impossible to follow CHRIST in
theory and the pathway of true Christian discipleship is no different today
from how HE sent out HIS original disciples (Matthew 10:9-14 & 16:24, Mark
6:7-11, Luke 9:1-6, 10:1-11 & 14:26,27,33, Acts 2:44,45 & 4:32,35).
Disciples must simplify their lives completely, gradually selling or giving
away most of what they own over a year or so (to the Church, to family, friends
or to deserving charities) in order to allow GOD’s
will to become obvious in their daily lives. All Christian disciples must live
entirely in Faith for a year or so, without using, accepting or spending money,
and for many (especially young men) this means going out two by two into the
world with nothing but what they stand up in except perhaps a Bible, comb &
toothbrush (John 3:8).
This is the only way to see and know
that GOD is real, that HE will clearly and unmistakably lead us through every
day and that HE organises our individual lives perfectly, much better than we
can ourselves. At the same time we learn that as we do HIS will, HE generously
provides for us all that we need (accommodation, clothing, food & transport
etc), whenever we need it, often in miraculous ways. Relying entirely on
We do not work for Salvation,
it is a free gift, but we will be judged by our deeds, what we do with what we
have been blessed with, and by how we behave. Without works our Faith is
theoretical, academic, illusory and dead, just like the false religion of most
‘Christians' in the rich, western, industrialised nations (James 2:14 &
17).
No-one can learn anything of any use whatsoever about true Christianity or
Faith at a
Theological training is a faithful reflection of the stupid, unhealthy,
contrived modern education system which squanders the best years of children’s
lives teaching them nothing about true wisdom and useful knowledge, in the
worst possible place to learn, indoors, sitting, in the worst possible way, out
of books. Modern education fails to teach children the simplest, most basic and
absolutely essential lessons of life:
-
how to care for their bodies & spirits in particular by recognising,
productively managing and non-violently expressing/discharging their true
feelings
-
what they are really like inside
-
what they would like to do with their lives, with the talents GOD has
blessed them with and
-
what they need to give to and receive from
both genders in honest and respectful relationships.
Modern education is also a
particularly insidious form of brainwashing where children are conditioned into
believing that learning is a full time occupation artificially separated from
family and real life, where today is sacrificed for tomorrow. It breaks the
spirit, depersonalises them and turns individuals into an amorphous group of
compliant, submissive, obedient robots force-fed on a diet of useless rubbish,
ready to waste the rest of their lives ruthlessly exploited by the
commercial/industrial complex recklessly pursuing the most dangerous drugs and
true trinkets of modern society - money, power, fame, the approval of others
and trivial escapist pastimes and games. In contrast true learning and real
work are supposed to happen in the natural part of a healthy, varied, active,
growing, giving, sharing and doing life, mainly within the extended family or
tribe.
As far as learning about GOD,
obviously there is no need for all the brochures, pamphlets, books, radio &
TV programs, CD's, DVD's, tapes, etc either for Christian discipleship, the
study of the Bible or for the work of evangelists – it is an enormous
affectation, indulgence and enormous waste. Christians also never ever sell the
Bible, it is a free gift from GOD like Salvation.
Instead we need to give Bibles to
those who need really them and redistribute the Bibles already available. There
are far, far too many Bibles owned (as usual) by those in the wealthier nations
and too few elsewhere in places like
11) Naturally all genuine Christians
strive to obey all GOD's Commandments (Matthew 19:17,
John 14:15,23 & 1 John 2:3 & 3:22). In
particular they never threaten, hit, harm, molest, intimidate or kill anyone,
ever, especially not children. Christians are therefore totally opposed to all
forms of corporal punishment, abortion, euthanasia, suicide, state executions,
terrorism and waging war - violence of any kind is not loving and therefore not
of GOD. Christians cannot in any way support a government, including paying
taxes, that is involved with, responsible for or which allows violence or
corruption of any kind.
Only stupid, violent, dangerous, destructive, greedy, cowardly males
(and females) cause, start, wage, fund, resource and/or support wars and/or
fail to vigorously protest against them.
(See www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/violence).
12) There is nothing in the New
Testament that even remotely suggests that Christians would ever squander money
and other resources in building churches – quite the reverse. Each brick or
stone of every church worldwide has been laid in the blood of a dead child
whose life could have been saved if the money wasted had been responsibly spent
on more sensible and humane priorities.
Churches are simply monuments to mans’
lack of faith, pretence, arrogance, stupidity, contrived artificiality and
self-indulgent waste and true Christians gather in the public buildings so
abundantly already available or in their own homes (Colossians 4:15). So-called
‘Christian’ denominations in the same area or suburb cannot even share the same
building and this gives an excellent insight into the reality of their false
religion – the waste and duplication globally is scandalous!
Notwithstanding this, if any group
that owned a building were really Christian, this would be open 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, 365 days a year, with members of the congregation always present
to supervise and help, advise and guide, for those in need to talk to, to
shower, wash their clothes, have somewhere clean, warm and safe to sleep and
have an individually prepared and served meal to eat, tailored to their weight,
fitness, gender and other personal requirements. The churches could
collectively solve the homeless crisis everywhere, easily and immediately,
and my advice to the homeless is to non-violently take back the assets
fraudulently stolen from them in CHRIST's Name, to
refuse to leave any church building late in the day, especially when the
weather outside is severe!
13) Christians have nothing
whatsoever to do with the satanic beliefs and man-made rituals (like mass,
christening, confirmation, wedding and funeral ceremonies, novenas) so widely
practised by all the churches today. In particular there is no Biblical
justification whatsoever for the catechism, for saying the rosary or for
stations of the Cross and even communion services have bizarrely formalised and
trivialised the simple act of saying grace and sharing bread & wine
together as a family or community during and after meals.
Christians celebrate Passover, not Easter which is a pagan Spring festival of
fertility and re-birth, made up by the (already totally lost) early church,
again like the change to the Sabbath to distance themselves from their
spiritual ‘cousins’, the Jews. Christmas is also nothing to do with CHRIST or
Christianity. CHRIST was certainly not born on the 26th December nor even in the month of December but most probably some
time in July or August. The waste, pretence, excess and extravagance of
Christmas are absolutely abhorrent to genuine Christians.
All modern church services are boring, monotonous, rigidly controlled and
joyless (like the traditional Presbyterian, Methodist & Congregational
services with their often dirge-like hymn singing), hugely expensive,
extravagant, grand ceremonies with colourful costumes and regalia, massed
choirs and showy rituals (Catholic, Orthodox and related churches like the
Anglicans and Episcopalians in the USA) or alternatively rock concert-like
performances and forms of escapist distraction and entertainment like the
angry, frantic, noisy, attention-seeking and embarrassing chaos and confusion
of the pseudo-Pentecostals. Many churches are also just like the heathens
(notably the Buddhists & Hindus), wholly given to Idolatry with their
statues and stained glass windows and enslaved to the traditions of men,
notably the various worthless declarations, edicts and expressed opinions of
their wicked Popes, Archbishops, 'Prophets' and other leaders. None of their
services are anything whatsoever to do with real Christian worship.
14) Christians do not worship nor
idolise anyone or anything except GOD through CHRIST and realize that praying
to CHRIST’s mother, Mary or to any of the Saints, is
a form of idolatry and a total waste of time and effort. Mary, though a fine
Christian whose faith and example is to be admired and followed, was just a
woman of considerably lesser importance and who made a much smaller
contribution than any of the Apostles and is dead and buried anyway. She
obviously had 4 sons and at least 3 daughters to Joseph after CHRIST was weaned
(Matthew 1:25 & 13:55,56) and it is a typical
Catholic/Orthodox fantasy and pseudo-maternal delusion to believe that she
remained a virgin for life. If Mary were alive today, she would be horrified
and outraged at the idolatry done in her name!
Generally Christians do not bow down to anyone except GOD nor call any male (or
female) "Father", "Master", "Rabbi",
"Lord", "Reverend", "Your Grace", "Your
Eminence", "Your Honour “, "Your Worship", "Your
Highness" or "Your Majesty" - all these forms of address are
against CHRIST’s specific teachings (Matthew 23:9,10)
and blasphemous and/or obsequious.
15) Christians do not involve
themselves in non-essential, trivial distractions and inconsequential contests
of which the childish ball sports (football, cricket, golf, baseball,
basketball, tennis, hockey, bowls, pool etc.) and the Olympics are the most
infamous examples. As in the final days of all previous decadent, dying
civilisations, people’s repressed anger, pain, fear and guilt today are
increasingly being indirectly focused inappropriately in this way. Mature
adults stay fit and healthy in the natural course of an active, meaningful and
satisfying existence devoted to helping others without the need for organised,
competitive sports or any artificial exercise like gym workouts or jogging.
Being genuinely healthy means being emotionally open, honest & direct,
relaxed, peaceful, quiet, giving, patient, strong (in spirit) but gentle for a
man and completely free from all disease and sickness.
In contrast all modern ‘sports-males’
and ‘she-males’ (feminazis) are the exact opposite of
this, tense, tight, closed, un-giving, rough, frantic, noisy under-achievers,
self-absorbed narcissists and inappropriately muscled, misshapen mutants doing
nothing of substance for anyone else, the exact opposite of their personal
best. The obsession with competing and winning (whether at sports, other games,
in business or even in court) is no different to any other addiction, the
preoccupation of all those who will not openly acknowledge and deal with their
true inner feelings of inferiority, insecurity, inadequacy and impotence, the
inevitable legacy and clear indication of childhood deprivation, neglect, abuse
and invalidation.
The general quality of life of the whole world could be immeasurably improved
if all the resources so scandalously squandered and misused in such selfish,
idle and useless pastimes and games were more sensibly, justly and humanely
re-allocated to heal, shelter, feed, clothe and transport those genuinely in
need, especially the children of the poorer countries, one of whom dies every
few seconds from fully preventable causes.
The insane priorities, refusal to live simply, equitably and sustainably, the
hoarding and deliberate unwillingness to give and share wealth, so common in
the ‘civilised’, developed nations is an inexcusable act of shameful violence
which directly causes so much suffering, disease, death, conflict, crime and
environmental destruction! And amongst the most outrageous examples of this
globally is the expenditure on defence and armaments and on so-called
‘scientific’ research. The latter most often adds nothing to our quality of
life or useful knowledge, is rarely necessary or of any enduring profit or
value and panders to the idle curiosity of hugely wasteful, indulged scientists
running away from reality. Infamous examples are the enormous amounts squandered
on space research, money stolen from the mouths of starving children. (See Note
(15) below)
16) Christians do not and cannot own
domestic pets, ever, only useful, productive farm animals. The enormous
waste of food and other resources squandered on dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea
pigs, horses, birds, fish and other pets is absolutely shameful, enough alone
to immediately overcome poverty and want worldwide. Also the relationships that
owners have with their pets are unhealthy and highly inappropriate attachments
which amount to a form of emotional bestiality, at worst, sick, twisted and
deviate. So much is inappropriately focused into relationships with pets (like
power and obedience issues) which should be resolved and/or satisfied elsewhere
with human beings, not animals. Children who are deprived of the necessary
affection, physical hugging and tenderness from their same gender parent in
particular try to compensate for this deficiency with pets, something that is
really tragic.
17) Genuine Christians are always
persecuted (Luke 6:22, John 15:20, 16:2, 1 Corinthians 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:12)
for the truth they both speak and write, especially by the rich, the morally
& legally corrupt, the famous, the powerful, the undeservedly privileged,
the decadent, the violent and the religiously deluded & fanatical who have
so much to hide, so much to run away from, so much to be guilty and ashamed
about and so much to lose both personally and professionally. Christians are
arrested, imprisoned and contained in psychiatric hospitals but this
persecution is for their own growth, experience and understanding. It provides
a constructive focus for their past and present outrage, refines their spirits,
teaches them obedience, builds their faith, enables them to appreciate,
empathize with, assist and minister unto all those similarly afflicted and
oppressed and gives them an excellent insight into the full inhumanity,
incompetence, violence and corruption that permeates all systems of criminal
justice and custodial institutions worldwide today.
18) All Christians are true
conservationists in that they see the global environment as part of GOD's Creation, to be cared for, used responsibly and
restored as custodians for future generations. A simple Christian approach to
viable, realistic, long term sustainability is to realize that the planet
cannot tolerate or maintain the internal combustion engine or electricity in
any of their various forms. Therefore the world needs to wean itself off these
dangerous, destructive, unnecessary, polluting, technological indulgences over
a generation or so and return to a real quality of life which emphasises
reality, not distractions, peace, quiet, beauty, health, fulfilment, happiness
and active, healthy work, especially the planting of trees.(See www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/environment).
19) The demented, infantile,
annoying, embarrassing, angry babblings by the pseudo-Pentecostal churches
today is nothing whatsoever to do with speaking in tongues, just spiritually
‘lost’, emotionally crippled, aged boys and girls in desperate, escapist
denial. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 & 14 makes it abundantly clear how tongues
should be expressed (at most 2 or 3 at a time, in order (not together) and
always with someone to interpret) and that many, even most true Christians may
not be blessed with this least of all spiritual gifts. The ‘snake oil salesmen’
and general con men evangelists on TV who preach the gospel of prosperity are
simply serving Satan and the modern trend to shout sermons regularly punctuated
with “Amen” or “Praise the LORD” is yet another violent and annoying
affectation, nothing to do with CHRIST or Christianity. In contrast genuine
Christian Ministers speak with authority and definition and only ever shout or
raise their voices when expressing their reasonable indignation (at
pseudo-Pentecostal preachers, for example!).
20) Through obedience, putting out
their Faith in action and following GOD's specific,
individual guidance every step of every day, Christian disciples are with the
right people, in the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons, and
avoid being with the wrong people, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, for
the wrong reasons. Christians consequently enjoy protection from natural disasters,
untimely deaths, injuries, ‘accidents’ and violence of all kinds except that
which is briefly necessary for their own growth and sanctification. They are
also led to situations and experiences that bring up all kinds of intense
suppressed feelings from childhood, rage, terror, pain and pseudo-guilt, which
are then felt and so discharged (See "Men Everywhere" or "Women
Everywhere" on the web site). Prompted and helped by CHRIST's
SPIRIT from within, true Christians are gradually made perfect or sanctified as
they grow in Grace and visibly change physically, emotionally and spiritually
in the process. (Matthew 5:48, 19:21, Luke 6:40, John 10:36, 17:17,23, Acts
9:13 & 26:18, Romans 1:7 & 12:13, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 2 Corinthians
13:11, Ephesians 1:4, 4:12,13, Colossians 1:10, 22, 28, 3:14 & 4:12, 1
Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:17, Hebrews 12:23, James
1:4, 1 Peter 5:10)
21) It needs to be recognized that
virtually all the various churches’ missionary efforts were and still are
misguided, hypocritical, counter-productive, very destructive and totally
misleading. In Africa and the Pacific, for example, the missionary message was
to build unnecessary church buildings, get dressed up on Sunday, attend church
services, give the clergy money, be christened (not baptised), mutter a few
spiritual platitudes and live the rest of the week just like everyone else.
That was/is the sum total of the necessary ‘Christian’ commitment taught, a
dangerous delusion and an obvious pathway to Hell. In fact the missionaries
with very, very few exceptions were a part of the mechanism of colonial
oppression, accessories before and after the fact to so much of the depraved
violence and racism that accompanied the efforts of the Spanish, Portuguese,
French, Dutch, English, Germans, Italians, Belgiums
and now Americans. At ‘best’ they imposed a worse version of their own
horrible, rigid childhoods, invading the lives of naive, gullible, simple
people who were far more sharing and less acquisitive and violent than the
European savages and many of whom by comparison lived in paradise. Europeans,
living often in harsh climates, came from their squalid, crowded, vermin &
disease-infested, open-sewered cities to places like
the islands of the South Pacific where natives enjoyed a superb, natural,
tribal life style - they then did what they did (and still do) best - destroy!
Missionaries created confusion, conflict, hardship and their appalling legacy
is blatantly obvious today. See Note (21) below.
Although some truthful generalisations can be made about certain national
behavioural characteristics, it is the human spirit that is important to
Christians, not the colour of a person's skin, and anyone who is (or who has
been) involved with or supports (or has supported) racism will have no part in GOD's Salvation unless genuinely repentant. (see www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/violence)
22) Christians have nothing
whatsoever to do with food fetishes or prohibitions like the unbiblical
abstinence from meat, dairy products or wine practised by the Seventh Day
Adventists, Baptists, Salvation Army etc. CHRIST ate
meat and drank wine and HE is our example - besides, good quality,
properly cooked meat is delicious and wine is a pleasure to drink and excellent
for digestion. Everything is in moderation, however.
23) Real Christianity is different
from all other beliefs, religions and sects in that it is the only profession
of faith that guarantees true disciples full healing of any and all sickness,
disease, injuries, disabilities and other health problems whether physical,
emotional/behavioural /'mental' or spiritual and irregardless
of age. (See “Health & Healing” on the web site). If Christians continue in
the Faith, they will never, ever need to rely upon the ignorant and inept
medical and nursing professions or the public or private health system except
perhaps briefly to help undo the damage of their previous painful, clumsy,
brutally over-reactive, expensive, intrusive and usually unnecessary
interventions and misguided medical meddling - this is an enormous blessing in
itself.
Real love and care maintains our
natural immunity and resistance to all bacterial and viral infections and
restores the recuperative capacity for healing of the human body and spirit.
Simply speaking, all those who:-
- choose to be open, honest and express theiir feelings directly, spontaneously and constructively
without violence
- learn to properly love and care for their
bodies and spirits without indulgence and are prepared to change any aspect of
their lives and relationships to achieve this; so organizing their daily
routines and patterns in keeping with their own and their family's true needs
and living somewhere clean, tidy, unpolluted, quiet, pleasant smelling,
peaceful and beautiful.
- appropriately enjjoy the true intimacy and passion of lovemaking only
ever within the sanctity of a lifetime, devoted, faithful, heterosexual
marriage (and who therefore refrain from the inappropriate and indirect
self-gratification and true violence of most modern sexual activity -
Homosexual or lesbian liaisons are an abomination to GOD (Leviticus 18:22 &
26:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 & Romans 1:27)) – end of discussion!
- who make an activve, unselfish and meaningful tangible contribution to
this world.
will invariably be really healthy and full of youthful
spirit all their lives and will die in peace and dignity, unafraid and
un-afflicted. This is the essence of preventing and treating all sickness and
disease and it couldn't be simpler, easier to understand and implement nor any
less expensive - and provably so.
24) GOD is LOVE and real Christians strive to bring more love into
their lives and relationships every single day. Real love is clean, tidy,
organised, simple living with patient, gentle and kind consideration for and
diligent devotion to the needs of others (especially children) and the
avoidance of all forms of violence, hoarding, waste, duplication, excess,
inequity, injustice, pollution and environmental destruction. Everything else is
the usual dishonesty, laziness, selfishness, greed, irresponsibility and
hypocrisy typically justified and rationalised using the same lies, implausible
excuses, fantasies, platitudes and clichés worldwide. Love is not just a
feeling but is a feeling translated into definite action - without the action
there is no love, just easy but empty words and the well-practised pretence so
common today.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Just as the Bible so clearly states,
by CHRIST's own teachings and example we will all be
judged. And HE has already given HIS judgment (John 12:48) if people would only
listen, learn and take it into their stony hearts! Most are choosing to go to
Hell for eternity, just more members of the
INKY club - I Never Knew You. Their religious
beliefs are all show with no substance, all words and no action, all theory and
no works.
By CHRIST’s own words most of those worldwide today
who call themselves Christians will not be going to Heaven, most
especially in the wealthy, industrialised nations. “Many will try to enter in
at the strait gate (those people in the world that call themselves Christians)
and few there be that go therein” (Matthew 7:13,14
& Luke 13:24) and “For many are called but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).
All recipients of this document need
to read it very carefully, consider the implications and consequences in their
own lives, both in this world and in the next, and take this as a serious,
personal spiritual WARNING from a true Christian Minister and chosen Prophet.
This especially applies to all those impertinent upstarts in all the church
denominations who presume upon GOD's Grace by calling
themselves HIS Priests, Ministers and Pastors when they so clearly lack the
necessary, prerequisite experience, obedience, humility, understanding,
spiritual credentials and authority to make such a claim. If you choose to
ignore this and continue this folly, I can promise you that the GOD WHOM I so
faithfully serve will show HIS extreme displeasure in your personal and professional
lives very soon, as only HE can (Hebrews 10:31).
Remember, GOD is omnipotent and everything is under HIS hand. GOD loves us as a
FATHER, conditional upon our behaviour. HIS chastening to those whom HE loves
and HIS punishment of the wilful, unrepentant, presumptuous, disobedient and
wicked whom HE hates is obvious and clearly of HIM: all ‘accidents’, sickness
and disease, ‘natural’ disasters (floods, famine, drought, storms, cyclones,
bushfires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis etc), violence &
crime, terrorism, relationships problems, loss of position, power, possessions
and wealth and worst of all, terror from within from which there is no escape.
All this is caused or allowed by HIM - and there is nothing that can be added
to nor taken from HIS will - nothing!
It is worthwhile giving up anything and everything to be part of CHRIST's salvation - there is no deliverance from Hell, no
second chances, and Eternity is forever.
Faithfully,
Michael Israel †
Note (3) - Amongst the worst examples of
decadent self-indulgence, blatant hypocrisy, selfish greed, unconscionable
waste and gross misuse of resources is the situation with the Catholic,
Anglican and Orthodox religious orders, “fathers”, “brothers” & “sisters”.
These freeloading opportunists (and especially the senior clergy) most often
live like royalty, lack for nothing and actually serve themselves, not others,
with the money and other resources fraudulently stolen from CHRIST. None live,
behave, dress or look anything like true Christian men or women and are nothing whatsoever to do with CHRIST or Christianity.
In the first place it is totally unnatural and unhealthy for groups of adults
of the same gender to live together artificially isolated in this way,
especially for women who vitally need the daily support, guidance, advice, help
and protection from and limits set by unselfish, caring Christian men and
Ministers. In the absence of a real balanced community of single men &
women, married couples and children, the places of residence and work of these
religious orders feel dead with no real life or joy - alternatively they are
filled with frantic, noisy groups of 'lost' spiritual escapists.
The vows of poverty, chastity and obedience of all religious orders are
laughable, dishonest and entirely theoretical. In fact most are incredibly
wealthy in terms of the lifestyle they enjoy and the resources that they have
at their disposal, they are totally disobedient to GOD's
teachings and are certainly unchaste, even depraved, sadistic, cruel, perverted
and twisted in their habits. Their self-imposed vows of celibacy are invariably
dishonest, based as they are on un-faced, unresolved issues and repressed
feelings from their own childhoods - this is why so many of them have trouble with
sadism, lust and paedophilia. In particular they live in rigid emotional denial
and are running away from GOD and from the horrifying truth of their parents'
awful relationship with one another, their woman-using, childish and/or abusive
fathers and the appalling example that their mothers failed to set them about
the joy, fulfilment and happiness of being true Christian women, wives and
mothers. This is especially true in the traditional Catholic countries of
The Catholic (and other churches) lie and make endless excuses about how little
money and other resources are available to help those in genuine need yet World
Youth Day 2008 in
In fact these noisy, unaware,
self-absorbed groups of pleasure seeking pilgrims, gender-identical eunuchs and
mindless mobs of marauding menaces had no proper business in being in Australia
at all, rich, indulged adolescents, young adults, idle, grossly underutilised,
parasitic clergy and religious and other ‘camp followers’ and hangers-on
who were hell-bent on partying and participating in this ridiculous Catholic
circus and funfair. Whilst a baby dies every 3 seconds somewhere in the world
for the lack of so little, they did nothing, shared nothing, gave nothing and
just took, misusing resources better spent on the real poor and needy
worldwide.
In essence WYD 2008 was an enormously
wasteful, pointless, spiritually blasphemous, superficial exercise in religious
hedonism, hypocrisy, pretence and wicked idolatry which squandered an obscene
amount of resources on airfares, accommodation ($400 for a backpack,
transportation and the ‘luxury’ of sleeping on the floor of an emptied
classroom or stadium), WYD 2008 fees and charges, associated souvenirs and
products, on government expenses and the cost of the venues - perhaps $500
million in total!!! Typical of the Catholic Church, it was hugely extravagant
gala performance with empty meaningless rituals celebrating its false papal
idol, all contrived (like Taize in France) to recruit
youth and to compensate for its total lack of true faith and obedience to GOD,
yet another example of their stupid, childish, superstitious nonsense, just
like Lourdes, Fatima, Lisieux etc..
The situation is especially outrageous
and infuriating when the huge local and global demand for homeless and crisis
accommodation is considered, when the luxurious lifestyle of these lost
heathens is compared to the depressing squalor of the second-rate facilities
begrudgingly and often rudely eked out to the poor. The land and buildings duplicated,
hoarded and misused by religious orders and clergy are worth billions of
dollars in a country like Australia, each property often used to house only a
few selfish, lazy males or females, most of the time, or misused absurdly for
wealthy, indulged, lazy escapists to go on retreat! Look at the luxury,
extravagance and opulence of the numerous convents, monasteries, retreat
centres, houses, units etc owned by religious orders all over Sydney and nearby
(e.g. St Josephs Centres at Baulkham Hills, Kincumber South & North Sydney,
Schoenstatt and Edmund Rice Centres at Mulgoa, the
Mercy Centre in North Sydney, Hartzer & Kerever Parks near Bowral etc.), a perfect example of
outrageous Catholic pretence, deceit, double standards, meanness and depraved
cruelty. In most cases all that they use is new, expensive and the very best
instead of obtaining and using free, 2nd hand goods donated to charities like
the St Vincent de Paul Society, so abundantly available.
The sabbaticals, retreats and
miscellaneous spiritual courses run in their numerous centres, their 'hotels of
hypocrisy' and 'places of pretence', are a total indulgence and complete waste
of time, both for the religious involved and for the other heathens from their
various congregations who attend. This is yet another excuse for them all to
sit and talk and do even less than they normally do - while running away from
GOD, they actually pretend to study and learn to be better Christians! What
does it all this cost in petrol, airfares and other expenses? They all ought to
be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, have they no conscience at all, do they seriously believe that GOD doesn’t see?
The nuns, for example are supposed to be sheltering, feeding, making beds,
doing the washing, shopping and generally caring for needy women and children
in particular. Instead their paid staff now do the
real active work (cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing) and serve their
employers instead. Typical of guilty, lazy, underutilised females with too
little to do, religious sisters have so many opportunities to play games, cause
trouble and create chaos, confusion and infamous waste. They actually don't
want anyone around who is not like them, especially men, to see how little they
do, what they get up to, how they live and how much they have. In effect these
hugely wealthy sisters of satan
are not even accountable to the local bishop or archbishop and are a law unto
themselves, given effectively no supervision or truth nor set any limits by
men.
Consequently, like all females on their own without manly leadership, they have
no idea and live in total fantasy and self-delusion about Christian womanhood
and salvation. Many are hard, cruel, nasty, selfish, obese and emotionally
lesbian neuters, compensating for the physical, emotional and spiritual absence
of men by (unsuccessfully) trying to be men, destroying their womanly essence
in the process and heading straight for Hell. Bizarrely many of these unmarried
ignoramuses with no children impertinently and disruptively presume to teach
and give advice to couples and parents about marriage, conception, pregnancy,
birth, raising children, dealing with adolescents etc., aspects of real life
that they clearly know nothing about.
Places like the Matthew Talbot
Homeless Men's Hostel/Shelter in Sydney are an offense to everything decent,
caring, humane and Christian, an abomination to CHRIST, and the clients of
these dens of deliberate deprivation will never
get better, conquer their various addictions and behavioural problems and take
charge of their own lives unless and until they are given real love and care. Instead they are simply maintained in constant,
chronic crisis, dependency, want and neglect.
The Salvation Army is no better - despite proudly claiming to house "more
than 2,250 people each night" in Australia, they don't tell us how many
Salvation Army officers there are nationally (each could personally look after
one homeless as they are supposed to do), all provided with a very high
standard of accommodation, with cars/vans, offices, computers, travel etc. How
many spare beds have they in their Theological Colleges, how many holiday
flats, houses and other accommodation do they keep just for themselves, what
proportion of money donated do they spend on themselves compared to the money
spent on the 2,250 in need?! How much of this 'good work' is fully paid for or
heavily subsidised by the government, how much actually generates a profit for
them?!
Note (15) One of the worst examples of this is
widows and older women like nuns selfishly living on their own, greedy, lazy,
self-indulgent females who typically sit and talk far too much, own far too
much, occupy far too much space, hoard, squander and misuse an obscene amount
of resources and do as little as possible for other people except what they
want to do (and for which they expect the greatest praise in return). If they
really served a GOD of Love, at this time of their lives they would have very
little in the way of possessions, be most involved in “good works” and would be
living with and helping their daughters and daughters-in-law (and other women
in need of daily support) in caring for their grandchildren every day. Having
been effectively abandoned by their deceased husbands who have unnaturally died
before their wives of diseases like heart disease and cancer due to repressing
and never openly expressing their feelings, these single females and widows,
often overweight, diseased and crippled, inexcusably occupy accommodation often
large enough to house an entire family with children.
Increasingly, different generations of families, rather than living together,
the only appropriate, natural, proper arrangement for reasons of safety,
economy, enjoyment and mutual support and care, choose to live apart. This
artificial separation is a consequence of the appalling general standard of
parenting and because there is so much left unsaid, so many issues not
discussed openly within the family. There are so many feelings of repressed
rage, pain, fear and guilt denied and left unexpressed which creates a gulf
between parents and their grown-up children only ‘bridged’ by pretence. Because
there are no fathers and no limits, people generally do what they want to do,
what they can get away with doing, what they can afford to do . . . not what is
right and what they need to do. A perfect example of this is the
Note (21) At Johannesburg Airport I was
recently confronted by a typical group of modern 'missionaries' from the USA,
marauding menaces and spiritual invaders in their 40’s or 50’s embarked on what
for them was like some post-adolescent summer school camp outing. The ugly,
neutered males and females were all dressed identically in virtual uniforms of
pants and logo T-shirts. They were there, not to really help, but as usual to
impose upon the locals what they wanted to do and to give, not what was needed,
to run away from their principal responsibilities as parents, parents-in-law,
grandparents and grandparents-in-law, to try to work off the very reasonable
remorseless guilt and terror that dominates their lives (a legacy of their
appalling standards of parenting) and to make a great outward show of how
‘caring’, ‘concerned’, ‘committed’ and ‘Christian’ they were. GOD is not fooled
and not impressed! The efforts of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons (Latter
Day Saints) are much the same, motivated mainly by a
desperation to convert others as a way of avoiding facing their own
inner doubts and lack of faith.
One of the worst charades posing as Christian love & care is the cruel,
self-indulgent masochism of people like St Francis of
This behaviour is typical of the
approach taken by Catholics, the Salvation (Damnation) Army and so many other
'charitable' organisations in their pathetic efforts to 'help' the poor all
over the world while their clergy/officers live like royalty lacking nothing.
Most people have total fantasies about how the poor, homeless, vulnerable and
needy are treated by the churches and related organisations - in fact they are
the focus of real depravity and violence by twisted deviates who are often
rude, patronising, deceitful, mean, lazy, who play games, cause trouble,
deliberately provoke and refuse to give, share and do for them as they are well
able. One of their favourite games is to send people elsewhere, from agency to
agency, on some torturous ‘wild goose chase’ when they have it in their power
to help themselves, there and then. You only see the situation clearly when you
share the lot of those in need as a genuine Christian Disciple travelling in
faith.

I needed to write this to you all in the
course of my life and work as a Christian Minister following the brief but
intense 3 weeks that my wife Mary and I spent in
Mary and I were arrested and charged with
disturbing a religious service for speaking openly to the clergy and some of the
congregation in the Anglican Church at Battery Point on Sunday morning. We
spoke for 10 minutes prior to the service starting about the appalling lack of
care by the churches for all those in real need and left before the scheduled
service time. However the churches in general are incredibly guilty and
desperate to prevent anyone speaking the truth openly due to the huge
discrepancy between their own activities when compared to CHRIST's
teachings and example, the yawning chasm between what they actually do and what
they are supposed to do and say they do.
The churches in
In fact the churches are so terrified of being
exposed that the senior clergy do not hesitate to actively persecute and
attempt to silence those who do speak and write the truth by covertly misusing
their contacts in positions of power within law enforcement, mental health,
courts, children’s services and prisons. These grossly indulged, decrepit
individuals and hypocritical heretics have so much to hide, so much to lose and
such an investment in their unearned status, influence and the undeserved
admiration and respect they command. Mary, a non-violent 60 year old Missionary
and myself, a Christian Minister have been systematically targeted in this way
for over 25 years with no redress, in ways that decent, law abiding people in
this country would find horrifying and difficult to believe. See the web pages:

The churches could by themselves together
easily accommodate all the homeless in
“I had
previously visited and stayed at the Kingsholme
Centre for Healing at Ellendale in the upper
At the Kingsholme Centre there are in effect 3 houses, a manager’s
cottage, two huge Oast buildings (mainly filled with
rubbish, old machinery & building materials), self-contained, good quality,
fully furnished cabin accommodation for nearly 100 people and a large
parcel of land eminently suitable for a working farm. The place is absolutely
ideal for the purpose to which I suggested it should be put when I later spoke
to David Fullarton, the Centre Manager. During my
brief stay, however, the property was deserted except for one of the trust’s
elderly founders and his wife in the house on top of the hill and David and
Fiona Fullerton, the manager of the centre and his wife, with their young son
and baby daughter Rebecca in the cottage..
The following
day I made the offer to David that my wife & I be given one of the houses
free of charge and in return I would approach the social services agencies in
Hobart so as to organize to bring some of the above mentioned needy people to
the Centre for accommodation, counseling, anger (& other intense feelings)
management, simple education (basic literacy and numeracy) and constructive,
healthy physical work. I could see the centre becoming highly effective and
largely self-sufficient over several years, instilling a significant pride in
those that worked and stayed there. It would also be reasonably entitled to
some government funding. I told David that this process would be undertaken
slowly and carefully, building up the necessary support services and taking the
time to sort out the inevitable “teething problems”. I also commented that it
was an affront that all the resources at the Centre were sitting idle and
unused in slow decay when the urgent need for accommodation and rehabilitation

quality of stale or left-over food, no-one who really cares, seeing appropriate

ministers unused or grossly underutilised, caravans,
holiday homes etc) and a plethora of people in the charitable agencies who
themselves use up the available housing property resources as offices and the
available money as salaries and expense. Worst of all, you know that you will
wake up to the same nightmare or worse tomorrow.

The Case of Heather Rose Nicholas
Our experiences in relation to Heather Rose
Nicholas, an intelligent, articulate, sensitive, fine-spirited woman of 54
years of age who 'chooses' to live on the streets in Hobart city epitomise exactly what is really going on all over
Australia today. Heather purchased a house in Rokeby
and was subsequently terrorised by neighbours known to her who repeatedly vandalised
her house. She unsuccessfully appealed to police for assistance but they were
(typically and deliberately) useless. They told her that they could not (would
not) help nor could guarantee her safety, a bold-faced lie. It is not
unrealistic to describe this behaviour at best as a
total abdication of responsibilities and failure to discharge their reasonable
duty of care, at worst it is a depraved form of sexist cruelty by males who
have serious unresolved issues about women which they improperly and illegally
introduce into their professional responsibilities. These repressed feelings
are focused directly and indirectly at any female unfortunate enough to become
under their care or into their control as police officers.
While Heather was considering her position
under this shadow of fear and trepidation, the events of 11th September 2001 in
The police do what they do best all over the
country - they pick on her, taunt her and move her on like the cruel cowards
and depraved deviates that the worst of them are. At one stage 2 police
officers deliberately gave her completely conflicting directions and when she
was unable to comply with both, they misused this as an excuse to arrest her. She
was then directed by the court to stay out of the city itself, a really stupid,
inane and sadistic order. Forensic Mental Health have also been useless and
uncaring and will not exercise their discretionary authority to have her at
least regularly placed into the PICU so that she receives a simple basic
level of care from time to time. Heather is not well and urgently needs to be
bathed, clothed, sheltered and fed properly - intervention may need to be done
repeatedly before she takes on this basic responsibility herself – but to get
Australians health professionals to actually do something for their
patients is indeed an uphill battle!
See www.geocities.com/michael_the_one/healthandhealing
Mary & I tried to help Heather several
times over the 3 weeks we spent in and around
In addition Heather is endangering others
because she sits on bus seats also used by commuters and school children. She
smells atrociously and is infested with fleas and other vermin of an
indeterminate nature which can be picked up merely by sitting near her. She
collects and keeps rubbish, anything that is given to her, and carries this
around in bags that she bizarrely places neatly in rows wherever she is
sitting. I quietly removed the worst of these from her one night, sorted
through them and put the rubbish into a nearby bin. This infuriated her,
uncovering the repressed anger that she really feels underneath the surface,
that she is in a sense “hanging on to”, the root cause of her bizarre,
self-destructive behaviour. If the so-called mental
health 'professionals' involved in her case knew anything about human behaviour, they would know that to heal Heather requires
intensive intervention, ongoing imposed care and the encouragement and
management of her feelings. I tried to do this but I had neither the authority
nor the resources (which the Police and Mental Health most certainly do have)
to make any significant difference in view of her reluctance to face and deal
with her issues.
Finally, very early one rainy morning before
dawn I took Heather's paper bag containing her personal papers which was
falling apart. I hid this down the lane next to the Post Office intending to
return with some plastic gloves to sort through this, throw out the rubbish and
put anything important into a replacement waterproof bag. I dropped Mary off at
a local bakery cafe where I obtained the gloves and bag and was returning in
our rental car when stopped by the Police. They falsely fabricated a charge
that I had failed to stop at a red light and gave me a ticket to that effect
(which I have absolutely no intention of paying), a ploy to hold me while they
found out what was happening. Heather had apparently gone to the Police Station
to make a complaint about me removing her bag. Mary and I were both arrested for
theft but later released as Heather did not wish to press charges. However we
were held in custody yet again for several hours while they took us to court to
serve a restraining order upon us.
This is typical of this GOD-forsaken country
that the only 2 people who really cared for Heather in Hobart and who were
prepared to show this in action with so few resources of their own, were penalised for doing so and restrained from helping her
further! Heather only survived the winter last year as it was a mild one but
she is suffering some form of serious health crisis due to the privation and
squalor she is imposing upon herself. Unless all of those copied on this act to
give Heather what she needs, she will die.
P.S. Heather subsequently died on the streets in
Conclusion
It is scandalous that there are over 120,000
homeless people in
There is no self-awareness, emotional maturity
and true wisdom taught or shown by example by staff in schools and the standard
of the teachers themselves and the quality of teaching are appallingly bad.
Education is guilty of the conscienceless indoctrination of children and young
adults using a sinister mix of intimidation (physical violence, reprisals,
other punishment and exclusion) and a reward system of bribery, misinformation,
academic snobbery and trinket targets and aspirations which shape behaviour towards a lifetime of ‘voluntary’ slavery in the
commercial/industrial consumerism complex. There are similar deficiencies in
the public (and private) health systems and after 28 years of extensive
insight into, intensive involvement with and unparalleled experience of all
facets of the various Criminal Justice systems of this country, I reasonably
have a well-founded mistrust of and a well reasoned lack of confidence in their
ability, capacity and willingness to be fair, just, impartial and diligent in
relation to anyone without power, position, wealth, fame and influence.
This is the true
situation in
So many Australian males are useless,
ineffectual, emotionally absent and abdicated ‘aged boys’
playing with their silly toys, obsessed with childish ball sports and
their stupid hobbies and real users of women and children. They are invariably
emotionally castrated by the females around them and remain emotionally
un-weaned infants unable to cope with reality without constantly sucking down
their feelings in desperate denial with their dummies (cigarettes, pipes,
cigars and drugs) and baby's bottles (continuous infusions of beer, wine, sodas
and water).
If anything, however, the females are worse,
tragic emotionally lesbian, neuters with shorn hair, hard, noisy, intrusive,
attention seeking, coarse, vulgar, foul-mouthed and loud-mouthed, sexual,
indulged, destructive and presumptuous in both behaviour
and manner. Taking advantage of the myth of sexual equality which they have
rapidly mutated into gender ‘identicality’, they
ridicule and humiliate males, try to render them irrelevant, betray them,
emasculate them, play games with them, cause trouble for them, interfere in
their relationships, take over their space, compete with them and cut their
hair and dress just like them. They do all this to avoid being women, wives and
mothers and most are fully determined to obliterate anything that once was
soft, gentle, quiet, peaceful, fragile, sensitive and vulnerable about their
true essence as girls and women.
So we no longer have parents, we have two
gender-identical, indistinguishable, mortgage servicing eunuchs - as my wife
Mary says, "Where are the women, wives and mothers? What hope have the children
got?" No wonder the children are killing themselves in a plague of
suicide, alcohol & drug abuse, dangerous driving and reckless & extreme
'sports', escaping reality into unhealthy pursuits like computer games and the
internet or worst of all, squandering the precious gift of life in the
pointless pursuit of the worst 'drugs' of society - money, power, fame and the
accumulation of possessions, all after the appalling example of their parents
and grandparents.
We do not for example have an unemployment
problem in this country, we have females stubbornly refusing to discharge their
primary responsibilities as woman, wives, mothers, grandmothers and aunts,
running away to make money, aided and abetted by their useless, avaricious,
gutless husbands. In the process they steal jobs which should be being done by
men (and especially by young men) who are understandably furious at this
violent intrusion into their space! In a country that has had no real fathering
for generations, it now effectively has almost no mothers genuinely devoted to
their children and even fewer wives devoted to their husbands. This disastrous
situation will continue until men grow up, behave like men, put out their
spirits and really listen to the women around them. This means ignoring most of
their incessant words, being unselfishly devoted to their real needs, setting
them an example of responsible maturity and excellent standards of self-care
(being slim) and giving them the support and guidance they so obviously
and desperately need. Finally this means setting them some long overdue limits.
Unless and until this happens, the future consequences in sickness, disease and
behavioural disorders, violence, crime, addictions,
other forms of emotional escapism, accidents and the quality of life for
children will be catastrophic!
Typical of this superficial country, the most
crucial and important issue facing the nation (which is the underlying cause of
so many of our society’s problems), the generally deplorable standard of
parenting today, is deliberately ignored and left un-discussed and unattended
to because those people in positions of power are amongst the worst parents and
grandparents alive! In contrast all those who really love, care and listen to
children will always be slim, fit, healthy, active (without any artificial
forms of exercise), quiet, peaceful, patient, kind, caring, live simply but
well, never aspire to being wealthy, famous or powerful and will really value life.
Obesity is of plague proportions in this
country, a clear indication of and direct and inevitable consequence of at best
dissolute excess and inactivity, at worst gluttony, idleness and disgusting
laziness. So many people are choosing to become fat, ugly, selfish, shut-off and lacking in any dignity, self-respect and
gender-appropriate spiritual definition whatsoever and it is increasingly
impossible to find anything that is praiseworthy, redeemable or admirable about
the general Australian psyche.
