katie's been zealot hopping today and oh boy has she found some creepy dish. it all started when I happened upon biblical womanhood . first I found an article: adorned in modest apparel, it begins with the heart . a snippet for your reading pleasure: "I am not going to come out and condemn or condone any clothing in particular in this article. I don’t feel that God has called me to do that. Rather, I challenge you to question yourself, "Is the way that I am dressing in accordance with the Biblical mandate that women are to be adorned in modest apparel?" it's good to know that meaty lips flappin' in the wind isn't out, and even more comforting that the author won't condemn my choice. after all, it is quite possible that is what I think jesus wants to see me in. in my mind, he regards that as modest and demure. hello. after saving a hooker, he kept on churnin' em' out ( hookers at the point ), and, hi, loin cloth. I rest my case. after tooling a...

over the past few days, I have been given several christian gifts from my darlings crionaberry and doc . I'll be sharing this week, I'm not selfish. today, we're dishing delicious doc's gift and oh what a gift it is... the marriage bed : sex and intimacy for married christians. no, that's not an oxymoron. doc told me to hit the kinky boards and I am super glad I did. masturbation (mb) leads to lesbianism / homosexuality love a good stretch, and that masturbation is so wrong, it's best "acronymd" to mb . This was really interesting... I was talking with DW on the phone during lunch today and she told me about a co-worker who had a special speaker for youth ministry at their church who taught... 1. Since MB is self-love, with the same sex, and since the definition of homosexual/lesbian (according to the definition she found/is using) is "one who services the needs of the same sex" - THEN MB is the same as homosexual/lesbian sex. 2. MB in gen...

Adrienne Rich on poetry, politics, and personal revelation But then there is all this other stuff going on -- which is wilder, which is bristling; it's juicier, it's everything that you would want. And it's not comfortable. That's the kind of poetry that interests me -- a field of energy. It's intellectual and moral and political and sexual and sensual -- all of that fermenting together. It can speak to people who have themselves felt like monsters and say: you are not alone, this is not monstrous. It can disturb and enrapture .

rye-rye , cp and mountjoy have all chimed in with their two cents re: imus's termination, the impact on freedom of speech ... or not ? it's definitely worth the read! thanks boychicks for weighing in. ya all ahe so smaht. imASS .

by: David Harris - AJC In the Jewish tradition, we are commanded to remember (zachor) and not to forget (lo tishkach) On April 15, we commemorate Yom HaShoah, the Day of Holocaust Remembrance. On this solemn occasion, 62 years after the end of World War II, we remember. We remember the six million Jewish martyrs, including 1.5 million children, who were exterminated in the Holocaust. We remember the entirely new alphabet created by the Nazis for the Final Solution -- from the letter "A" for Auschwitz to the letter "Z" for Zyklon-B. We remember not only the tragic deaths of the six million Jews, but also their vibrant lives -- as shopkeepers and craftsmen, scientists and authors, teachers and students, parents and children, husbands and wives. We remember the richly hued and ancient Jewish civilizations that were destroyed -- from Salonika, Greece to Vilna, Lithuania. We remember the slippery slope that began with the rantings of an obscure Austrian-born anti-Semi...

update ... scrollllll dooooowwwn it's 2:30 in the morning and I can not sleep. I'm having some wicked ass insomnia. oompha. argh. hopefully I will fall asleep soon. I have such a busy sunday, too. no, I'm not going to a tent revival. I wasn't invited. mother fuckers. whatever happened to goodwill towards womankind?! speaking of zealots, I hit leewee's site today and found a re-post of a journal entry, circa 2005. haven's b-day, a modest proposal . it's a must read especially for parents or parents to be who want to encourage their daughters to look like hedonistic whores. it sooo makes me want to adopt a troubled teen I can exploit. should I go homeless or foreign? oy, such decisions. is anyone else worried by cbs's decision to fire imus or am I alone on that one? before you rip my head off and skull fuck me, let me explain. we all agree, the man is an asshole, an anti-semetic, racist, homophobic prick. he's vile. what he said about the rutgers tea...
