The persecution of Christians and the elevation of Homosexuality

So it seems we have to make a choice...
Either we are for the promotion of Homosexual behaviour or we are in danger of losing our jobs and our respected places in society.
Of course there's another choice- and that is, To lie or keep quiet.
Bible believing Christians have no choice really though- as our dear Lord himself has called us to Preach the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ- and so we have to tell people what it's all about...evangelise...give people the opportunity to hear what God has done for them in sending his only begotton son to die for their Sins once and for all upon the cross at Calvary.
Quiet Christianity as a personal faith may be the English way, and even the most evangelical of us must be sensitive to the English way of course...but we are called to say it how it is ...and this includes touching on the subject of our sexual immorality and behaviours.
The bible makes it pretty clear on the subject of a man laying with another man...and I won't spell it out here as Liarblair are still in power for another day and as I've had to sell my house to pay the fuel bills and still have a day's worth of putting stuff into storage befor becoming homeless with my daughter, two dogs and two kittens, I can live without a nutty arrest by the gestapo just now.
And so Christians are being suspended from their jobs, and losing their jobs- because they wear a cross or offer to pray...and now David Cameron has suspended a prospective Parliamentary candidate simply because he stated the bible position on homosexual activity and whilst expressing the need for tolerance stated his concern over the promotion of homosexuality amongst children. The next Prime Minister (God help us all) persecuting a Christian. And no one even seems to notice.
A Christian cannot state his Christian views in England anymore without fear of arrest, loss of his job and persecution by the Law and politicians and media.
What are we going to do about it?

The Peace- Touching banned in the Chruch of England

I historically disliked intensely 'the peace' (shaking of hands with others and wishing them the 'peace of the Lord' until very recently.At the Cathedrals' Holy Communion service I attend each week a few weeks ago the Holy Communion wine was withdrawn from the congregation and we were told not to touch hands during 'The Peace' (Swine flu doncha know)...but instead nod and smile at each other.

Suddenly the Peace took on a totally new and different importance. It had stopped being an embarassing un-English awkward false social nonsense and was now a banned need to make a connection with one's fellow worshippers.

So the first time it happened and we were told to just nod I just put my hands out and said "Anyone?" My hands were literally grabbed and everyone shook each other's hands with a real and sincere warmth and grateful connection that I'd never witnessed before.

Perhaps we don't really appreciate what we have until it is taken from us.
And when things are wrongly taken from us we must simply take them back- whatever the cost.

Jeremy Clarkson and his entitlement to Free speech


http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/sep/17/jeremy-clarkson-horse-manure-protest
Jeremy Clarkson has been targeted in a manure dump protest by climate campaigners.
Climate Rush activists trespassed at his home and left six bags of horse manure in protest at BBC presenter's controversial views on the environment.


This is intimidation and bullying tactics. These misguided souls have trespassed at his home on his private property. If it was animal rights they were protesting about at a scientists private abode they would now no doubt be arrested under anti-terrorism laws.

If they wanted to protest something Clarkson, in work mode, said, then they should have done so at a studio for example who employ him.


I am all for people taking direct action. It can't be encouraged enough. But this was a tad misdirected. To intrude on this man's private home life is not right.

Perhaps these women should be made to give him their home addresses so that he can return the favour and take a shit on their front lawns.

Jeremy Clarkson carry on...

British Private Military Contractor hung out to dry by ArmorGroup

ArmorGroup, the Private Military Company who employed Danny Fitzsimons, the Private Military Contractor languishing in an Iraq cell on a premeditated Murder charge after the deaths of two of his colleagues appear to have today removed him from their Christmas Card list and their employ in a cowardly abdicating of their Duty of Care towards him.

In a statement published today ArmorGroup announce that they have dismissed him from the company on the grounds of gross misconduct. What message do they imagine this sends to the Iraqi authorities? And what happened to their duty of care towards their staff?

They boast that although Mr Fitzsimons is no longer an employee of the company, they are doing what they can to ensure that his human rights are met whilst in Iraqi custody by providing him with...wait for it... food, water, clothing and toiletries. Providing Danny with scoff and shower gel isn't fulfilling their duty of care! They sent him out there and to ditch him out there now with the very real prospect of a death sentence is disgusting....in the same disgusting way as the British government acts when they also fail so many times in their duty of care towards their employees.

ArmorGroup have binned a further employee on the grounds of gross misconduct and say they have also now carried out a detailed investigation into their screening policy and processes and that Danny's screening was not completed in line with the company’s procedures.

So they admit then, that they failed to screen him properly and heads seem to have rolled within the company for their failures and yet they attempt to abdicate their responsibilities towards their man facing death in Iraq.



Shame on you ArmorGroup. Shame on you.

Young Women In Booze Britain

When I was a young woman, way back when, not once do I remember anyone saying in my hearing "I want to get drunk" or " I plan on getting wasted tonight"
Certainly people did get drunk, but it was not every night out that you would see the one idiot who'd drunk to much either puking or lolling about outside the club.

People knew their limit and generally stuck to it. The idea of a night out was never to down as many drinks as possible as fast as possible with the sole intention of becoming legless! People who regularly got drunk or seemed too keen on their drink were noted and disappoved of.
For a woman to have planned to have got drunk would never have gone down well in any of the varied social circles I moved in..because a drunk woman is a completely selfish woman and becomes very unattractive, and no pleasure to be with.
When a woman is intoxicated she becomes vulnerable to rape, assault and accident. For those accompanying her who aren't 'off their face' all she is..is.. well she is a liability.

My generation always knew to stay relatively sober so that we could fend off the continuous unwanted advances by amourous men (in those days men were never backwards in coming forwards and an attractive girl was often approached every several minutes in a nightclub) or ready to even defend ourselves physically from attack by a man on the way home- the possibility of ending up in a ditch was at the very front of out minds.

Staying safe was our own responsibility and we took it seriously.

If we were dressed like whores and out until 4am we were well aware that this was one of those situations that carried an element of risk. There were certain times within the evening that carried more risk than others....eg walking home alone in the dark, accepting a lift with a stranger, having one too many drinks, seperating from our friends etc So we had to stay switched on and we didn't naively imagine that just because feminism had arrived and in theory that we were entitled to dress how we will, that we are entitled to not have men assault us, that any decent man would never take advantage if we'd had one too many drinks, that we should be safe walking home at night, that this was how it was going to be in reality- as though our sense of entitlement would magically make all men behave better. No, we knew we had to keep ourselves safe and that having too much drink would mean that we put ourselves at increased risk.
If we were groped by a strange man in a club we considered ourselves to have been sexually assaulted.
We valued our virtue and while some of us took stupid risks we also took our share of responsibility for the outcome of those risks. If a woman got drunk and then went back to some strange man's house and spent the night and she woke in the morning realising they had had sex she didn't cry 'rape'. She shouldn't have got drunk, shouldn't have gone off with a stranger and if she was taken advantage of it was her own stupid fault basically. Nowadays men get sent to prison solely due to women's stupidity and unwillingness to take responsibility for themselves.Nowadays, despite an increasingly violent and dangerous culture in our towns and cities at night, there is still no social stigma among young women getting drunk.Where for my generation if a woman had announced and intention to get drunk and laid she would lose her friends and her reputation, now it's a common and shameless norm for women to behave in this way once or twice or more a week. It's totally socially acceptable.

And they have no shame about it either- not even seeing it as a bad or risky thing at all. Young women lose control of themselves in our pubs and clubs every week- remembering little the following day about how they got home or who with or anything else. They commonly have no idea what conversations were had, who groped them or had sex with them...and what's alarming is that they don't seem to care either.
For if they cared for themselves at all they would regret and learn and never do it again...but No...they are out again doing it all again the next night!
There is nothing liberated or feminist about dressing in a manner that leaves little or nothing to the imagination. Or getting so drunk that you lose control of your mind, your body and your moral integrity.It is a wholly self destructive and dangerous way to behave.

Observing a club full of young people in their late teens/ early twenties recently I noticed that whereas in my day most of the men and women would be partnered up, even for just a couple of dances, everyone was in groups. Groups of girls or groups of boys. The young men were not even noticing all the gorgeous girls dressed up to the nines..they were more into each other..not even glancing occasionally at the women....it was as though the young women weren't even there.So is it that women are making themselves so drunk that they loose inhibitions so that they don't have to face the reality that young men nowadays like each other but just aren't that into women..or is it that women cheapening themselves, dressing like whores and losing their ability to function as a human is just a massive turn off to young men, as it always was in my generation?

Women need people to start vocally disapproving of drunken behaviour.
The culture of going out specifically to get drunk is only going to be changed by social and peer pressure. Naming and shaming and showing drunks for the fools they are is the way forward. And sober young people who understand this need to start saying it how it is to their mates.The language for and expectations of a night out needs to be challenged and changed.Women need to start protecting their own honour once more.
Feminism was supposed to mean women would reach down into the gutter and give men a helping hand out of it..instead our young women have jumped down into the gutter with the men.
Now anything goes and noone is supposed to notice or judge the actions of others.
Their dignity, reputation, health, liver, safety and life is risked ...and for what?
