RELIGION AND WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE

FINDING OUR ROOTS

Going back and reading the Christian women--feminists, some not Christian, who worked in the Chartists movement [Marx],

so, before beginning there, want to post this,

because I later, will be finishing up about how the Christian Right is profiting off of the abuse of women, and

looking at what, Amos says, OT.

for now, see: http://www.anarcha.org/sallydarity/CarolEhrlich.htm

I ENVY THE REAL SISTERHOOD THESE WOMEN HAVE

because the white women--Christians, sure as hell don't have it,

not any fault of their own, NO, the fault of the ANDRO-CENTRIC WHITE RACIST MALE MISOGYNIST PATRIARCHY -DOMINION SUPER APOSTLE GARBAGE...THAT HAS POISONED BOTH THE WORLD

AND ENSLAVED THOUSANDS OF WOMEN, HALF OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, ENSLAVED TO

ONE WHITE MAN. [THE god HUSBAND, THAT IS]

SAD.

really, really sad,

meanwhile, GOD IS MOVING MOUNTAINS IN THE CHRISTIAN AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES--AND HE'S MOVING THROUGH WOMEN!!!

TALK ABOUT SOME POWER,

BLOW THE TRUMPET IS RIGHT WOMEN...

ever heard of the Ethiopia Movement? It is my FIRM BELIEVE,

that the GOSPEL, THE SALVATION OF MANY, AND THE GATHERING OF THE SCATTERED SHEEP

WILL NOT COME ABOUT THROUGH THE FALSE 'WHITE' CHURCH OR

THROUGH THE MEGA CHURCHES...

BUT THROUGH THE PRAYERS AND LIVES OF WOMEN...WOMEN OF COLOR,

WHO STRONG, FIERCE, AND FAITHFUL...

KNOW WHAT OPPRESSION IS, KNOW WHAT THE HYPOCRISY IS,

IF ANY WHITE CHRISTIAN WOMAN IS SMART,

SHE'LL SIT, AT THEIR FEET,

AND LEARN.

that is Exactly, what I intend to do....

note: God lead me to this site, after reading Patricia Raybon's book, "My First White Friend"...

since the majority of white Christians, that I have met during my life have all but a few, been extremely hurtful, and well, flat out rejecting when realizing one of my daughters is Native Indian and very dark skinned [I have lived with racism all her life, not towards me, towards her, but it hurts just as much] but even worse,

the just 'shock' when I tell anyone about my mother's abuse to my brother and me, esp the sexual, its like, this oh my gosh it just blows that whole white madonna image right out of the water,

it shakes things up, well,

I can't live life 'pretending' it never happened or that our lives weren't in a huge way destroyed because of it, or my kid's lives, having been negatively effected because of...

then to top it off, my son is half Jewish, so I get to deal with the antisemitism as does he, and to be frank,

there are NO WORDS, TO DESCRIBE, WHAT A MOTHER FEELS TO HEAR HER EIGHT YEAR OLD BOY, ASK HER,

"MOM, why do they want to throw me into an oven?"

IT CHANGES EVERYTHING,

AND I DO MEAN EVERYTHING....

I simply dont' relate well to the majority of white people, maybe because as a child, I was treated like the dirty Jew by a very sick mother, and my first and only two best friends in the world,

I was five years old, were two African American girls, in Maryland. They lived next door...needless to say, that was in the era of hate riots, spawned by whites,

I was taught a 'lesson', at five years old, by a group of white boys, teens, I don't remember anything, about the attack

but I do remember, my hateful mother, telling those girls, when they came to see if I could play, that no, I could never see them again...

and I remember, sitting on that stairway, in Silver Spring Maryland, crying my eyes out, my hateful mother, tearing away from me the ONLY LOVE, I had,

and I remember, looking at them, begging my mother, and I will never forget their faces,

and one of the girls said, "Yes maam, we understand" and they turned, the door slammed,

and I

died.

The few friends I had, growing up, minus two white girls, were African American or Latina...mostly Latina because I grew up in the poor side of town which was a few white families and pretty much Latino, and so, I know the culture...

also I'm half Italian, and since also Catholic [then], our cultures were very much the same, different on some things but very much the same on so many others and I just felt more comfortable,

still do. I have had white friends, just not that many...and even now, late in my adult years, I find, that I offend many white folks,

for speaking of things, things that are true, but things, they get enraged about, like, privilege and our nation's policies, etc....

within the church that is....and I do notice, the wide gap, the wide segregation within the Christian community,

it is so there....and its not just on the white side, the tension, but I will say,

its the root, of the white refusal, to address, the root problem, of the construct of whiteness and the privilege, injustice, that goes all the way back to Europe,

in all fairness however, and based on historical and current still, fact, it wasn't just Europeans guilty of the crimes,

people need to also look into the study of the Arab slave market--oh yea, and who sold slaves, to the Americans and Europeans...because, that slavery,

is Still going on today and is still justified, by another type of 'race supremacy' and religious imperialism...I dont' have any qualms in saying it either,

Sudan, is just one huge example.

Anyway...Patricia's book, I highly recommend all to read, and why God lead me to read it, it was the ONE BOOK,

THAT HELPED ME, TO HEAL FROM A LOT OF IDENTITY HATE...FROM MY MOTHER'S ABUSE,

because they know, what it is, to grow up, learning self-hate, being told all the time, vocally and in the society, how evil they are, etc., are sub human, so forth...and it was in her book, that God started working in me,

on just how deep the hurt goes and about forgiveness...

though, I am not all the way there yet.

Peace,

Jane

HOW THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT PROFITS OFF OF THE ABUSE OF WOMEN!

[update: I am currently researching the MONEY TRAIL and let me just say, it is way more corrupt, I intend to also investigate and research, any ties to the PORN industry, especially trafficking, where the 'elites' are concerned, [seems to appear in the legal structure/elites and the church's role, particularly in the cases of elite structures that cover up or perpetuate rapes, rapes in particular of women of color, e.g. Asian women] and will include them in a full page report once finished. I do want to add, however, there IS a remnant of Christians, who do NOT adhere to the misogyny or dominionist [Satanic] doctrines, doctrines that are in a sinister way, ANTISEMITIC and MISOGYNIST, AS WELL AS IMPERIALIST. I am CONVINCED,

they are CONNECTED TO THE THIRD REICH--NAZIS. Researching this as well....will report what I can here, later]

AND CHILDREN...

Oh yea, I WENT THERE! Or, well, I'm going to go there, just well, not today..but I will be posting a long series on this,

because one, IT'S SO TRUE, and for two, well, IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD.

From yea, a Christian :0

I know, shock eh...

yes, a Christian who can't stomach the majority of White Christians in this country...not the people, no, the mentality, the privilege, the misogyny, the corruption oh my the corruption and well, the flat out hypocrisy...

not so much morally either, just that whole God loves you but oh, uh, don't bother me because well, God bless, He'll heal you, blah blah

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,

LOL.

Trust me people, its all crap...you're better off hanging out with the drunk in the city park, will probably find God more there, than anywhere.

So, anyway, still on leave, but in the time, just wanted to say,

I have a whole lot of things to add to this blog, and this summer I hope to be working on getting a woman's ONLY space, where I live...that is Christ based,

not 'religious' and no, men don't need to apply...its for women only and PATRIARCHAL WOMEN, STAY THE HELL AWAY...GO WORSHIP YOUR HUSBAND, OR SOMETHING,

because this group, is going to be for serving women in need, women who are wounded, women fleeing violence.

And no, they don't need to hear no "submit woman" and all that SHIT that so many Privilege DOGS are making tons of blood money from...

And no, they don't need to hear no "submit woman" and all that SHIT that so many Privilege DOGS are making tons of blood money from... these are women who are KNOWINGLY perpetuating the abuse, sexual abuse, marital rape of women and abuse of children...for PROFIT, and yes, in my opinion, they are evil Babylon Whores, agents of Satan himself...I do not believe we can just assume they do only in ignorance when it is quite clear, these women have heard numerous complaints by women who have suffered horrid abuse at the hands of men, Christian husbands [who truly are NOT Christians because the Bible is very CLEAR ABOUT VIOLENT MEN WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD], and these women tell them, even if they die, its for the Glory of God...that is a bold lie from the pits of hell, but a lie, that LINES THEIR POCKETS WITH LOADS OF CASH...BLOOD MONEY, FURS, CARS, WHILE THE BELIEVERS, WOMEN, SUFFER....so yes, as far as I"m concerned,

they are evil dogs. By the way, Paul referred to these false teachers as yes, DOGS, and I use that term, in THAT way, evil dogs, female dogs...jackals, etc.


sound hostile,

you betcha. [YEA AIN'T CHRISTIAN LIKE BUT YOU KNOW, TRUTH SUCKS DOESN'T IT]

Later

Jane

oh, one more thing, to the patriarchal ASSHOLE, I know who you are, heard about you, don't bother commenting anymore on my blog,

I'll delete your sorry ass, you love patriarchy, thirty years, then WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING TO YOUR WIFE,

RATHER THAN HARASSING CHRISTIAN WOMEN WHO ARE SICK OF THE VIOLENT MEN IN THE CHURCH?

leave the women alone...if you're going to follow your patriarchy, you should be focusing on controlling your wife,

or let me guess, you've beat her down enough already and are looking for new victims, typical misogynist chauvinist Christian male who warps Scripture,

look, I'm not interested...so,

go find another victim...seen your kind before, there are PLENTY OF MALE RIGHTS, ANTIFEMINISTS, WOMEN CHRISTIAN RIGHT WING SIGHTS OUT THERE THAT WILL DO MORE THAN BOOST YOUR EGO.

and make you feel real good, about your love of the super male supremacy.


Peace,

Jane

On Leave

Taking some time away from blogging....

The NEED FOR A CHRISTIAN WOMEN'S ONLY SPACE

that's right, a Christian Women's ONLY Space, [excluding boy children--meaning, yes boy children welcome],

like a city of refuge,

except, because some men, LOL, can't take a hint, a few women who know how to use arms to defend the city [and I'm one of them baby, come screw with me with my 12 gauge and I'll show you how submissive I can be, AND the really sad fact is, the ONLY way to deal with those types of men, is the way men deal with those types of men, forget sweet talk, because the ONLY thing misogynist men understand, is violence...and strength, in numbers especially--and any Women's Only Space--City of Refuge would need to be armed--sad but true]...

no, seriously though, we need cities of refuge, homes, for Christian women, Women Only Spaces,

like shelters but more than shelters,

places where women leaving violence, abuse, can restart their lives and Still if they choose, to remain in the Lord, with support,

from other women, in a SAFE place, that includes, EMOTIONALLY SAFE, where they aren't subjected constantly to those who are pro-patriarchal.

OR who are hostile to the Gospel of Jesus Christ...

Cities of Refuge that can also take in women/girls who escape prostitution, trafficking, porn, etc., but a place,

where they won't be raped, where they won't be hit, where they won't be verbally abused,

this is what I am praying for...

Cities of Refuge, all over this country and around the world, because, we need them.

BEWARE SINGLE CHRISTIAN WOMEN....BEWARE

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU,

Paul was right, BETTER TO STAY SINGLE, because Her case, is not isolated,

only difference, she got tired of it and killed the sorry jerk.

Better to be single, alone, in mission field or working somewhere, than to believe the Male Patriarch

when he says, he loves you....

forget the whole kiss the frogs before the prince, more like

beware the cobra...

http://www.womensspace.org/phpBB2/2007/04/19/the-terrorizing-of-mary-winkler/


and what is really scary, the church will say,

oh honey, submit better, next time he causes you to bleed out the ass and your colon is half way out, just hold your screams in and shove cotton up there

or some misogynist crap like that, and of course, some bimbo, will sell a book making KaChing, $$$$, telling women,

that she too, can hump a pole for Jesus, yea,

Whatever!

you know its bad when it don't matter if they are christian or not, women are nothing but

cumdumps,

women and their little girls.

sick.

and they think Islam is bad, I'm starting to have a really hard time, telling the difference...

[psst, why, if you are smart, and Love Jesus, stay away from the mainstream, the churches unless you find a good one--rare, very rare, and just stick to reading your Bible and stay in prayer, and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD GIRLS,

LEAVE THE MEN ALONE--YOU'D BE BETTER OFF WITH SNAKES IN YOUR BED, SERIOUSLY. do yourself a favor and read the books from Christian women missionaries, from the days of old, they were Spinsters, Spinsters in Christ, no, not nuns, not confined in Lord knows what goes on behind closed doors, but they were very out in the open, and they did a lot of good work in Christ and they were STRONG WOMEN OF THE FAITH...LORD, BRING THE REVIVAL BACK, FOR WOMEN, WHO WILL FORSAKE ALL, AND TAKE UP THEIR CROSS, AND FOLLOW YOU...rather than follow the whole 'worship marriage and being some man's private whore, seriously...young women today could Learn a few things from women like Amy Carmichael, etc and the NEED IS JUST AS GREAT TODAY, AS IT EVER WAS] ]

UNITED WE STAND! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

AMEN!

THE DISTORTION OF PROVERBS 31

I will be writing an essay, some time soon, on the Distortion of Proverbs 31.

but for a quick summary, I heard yet, another preacher today on the Radio [I won't say who because I am confronting the teaching and distortion, not the preacher], about Proverbs 31, that has been the idolized 'ideal' of what God desires of women.

This distortion has been more abused and has caused more of a perpetuation of racism, privilege, consumerism, androcentric patriarchy and indifference to the oppression of women worldwide than any other scripture, in my opinion, even worse than the scriptures on women and submission. Therefore, I believe that the manner in which Proverbs 31 is taught to direct, influence and heap guilt onto thousands of women, begs to be challenged.

I believe Proverbs 31 is not some 'perfect Godly ideal' for women to try to achieve, which is, to anyone with any inkling of common sense or mathematical ability to discern time, number of hours in a day, but rather, that Proverbs 31 is God speaking to the millions of women in our world who are mere SLAVES, that they are VALUED, more precious than rubies.

And the best example I can give is the women in Africa, who yes, do live the Proverbs 31 in very much the same manner as women did in Biblical Times. The men sitting at the gates, yes, men in Africa, for example, Do sit at the gates, men who don't life a finger to work,

because their slave WIVES do all the work, and they are some of the world's most exploited, abused, violated, and suffering violence. In their reality, though it is NOT a andro-centric nuclear patriarchy, it is a tribal patriarchy that thrives on hierarchy, particularly among the WIVES, or, WIVES WITH SLAVES, slaves that are usually children, paid and bought for, by men, who claim them as wives but they are really servants, with a very harsh hierarchy. The one at the bottom, does most of the grunge work and takes the most beatings. Countries such as Sierra Leone, for example,

and not just in Africa, but in parts of Asia this also ends to be the social norm. The world looks at these women with disdain, with pity, they are not the glamorous woman that the West holds up, but in God's eyes, because He sees, their oppression, their being devalued and yet, its These women, who hold and preserve entire societies THROUGH THE GENERATIONS, while the men, yes, sit at the gates, men who are privilege, fat with excess and luxury of idle time, and men, who no one dare challenge them to be, better men. Men who are like 'gods' in temples, who can do no wrong,

yet the tears of the thousands upon thousands who break their backs under a heavy yoke and whose spirits are crushed under a heavy cloud of contempt, fill the crevices and rivers that pour out onto the clay cracked soil that yearns for rain, rain of comfort from God.

Proverbs 31 has been the catalyst of the American and Western Puritanical andro-centric patriarchy that forced many a woman to also, rely on slaves, slaves who were African, Mexican, Asian, slaves who were women, yes, the real Women, of Proverbs 31,

but these women did not wear scarlet robes nor were they crowned with jewels, no, these women wore burlap and cotton and polyester. These women wore sun wrinkled skin and hump backs and swollen ankles,

but to God, these women, were the crowned jewels, these women in His eyes wore scarlet robes of nobility, more precious than rubies, their works not going unnoticed, nor will they be invisible.

In our world today, we have thousands of women who work in not just the worst impoverished conditions but who work in labor camps, who work as domestic 'slaves' even here in America, though titled Nannies, these women, many of them from Jamaica and Haiti, work with no days off, no freedom, no room of their own,

it is not the privilege woman with the nannies and the thousand dollar remodeled home with her prada shoes that is the Proverbs 31 woman, though she may be a trophy and a trophy to quite a number of Preachers, Men, who yes, sit at the gates,

no, the Real Proverbs 31 woman, the one that God sees who is worth more than the crown of rubies, is that woman,

you may walk by every day in the market, at the park with the children who are not her own, that woman that sews your clothes for .20cents a day to feed her starving children,

the women in burlap, cotton, naked even...the women who are yes, Proverbs 31.

In solidarity in Christ Jesus,

Jane

[I will be writing far more on this in weeks to come]

The TRUE MEANING, OF ABBA, FATHER

OK, well, after a day of prayer and tears,

got some answers, to the Abba Father, what it means, WHAT IT DOESN'T MEAN.

It does NOT mean, God is Male, as many patriarchs like to put forth, those patriarchs and misogynists who have 'created God in THEIR image'

what it does mean, is that God, is our Spiritual Father, [but God in the Bible also is to us, many other things, including dwelling, which in Hebrew is a female noun, another topic, as I want to do more research on the Hebrew names for God before posting, but one of them, is a female noun in Hebrew, showing the female character of God...in the dwelling, or in one definition, like a bird's nest, birds, and that I could see because Jesus did say, how often I've wanted to gather you like a hen does her chicks],

but, anyway, the Abba Father, is Spiritual, for the heirs, the sons AND daughters...

but, the way, the masculine terminology has been used literal to put up this male Supremacy, hurts women,

hurts children,

because it gives the impression that God and Man has relationship, woman and child, are just appendages.

Who are often, abused, because if they have no value, other than being appendages, then, whats wrong with abusing them, right?

Unfortunately, there are those who truly believe, that women and children have no value other than for man's glory,

so in my journey, Is God a Misogynist, which has opened up so many wounds and internalizations,

it has also, revealed to me, or I should say, God has revealed to me, how sinful people have mischaracterized the character, nature, Holiness of God,

molding God into the Image that THEY want to support, prop up, maintain, perpetuate, the Power that they have over others,

be it religious institutions, social institutions, governments, you name it,

but God is a MORAL AND HOLY GOD, A JUST GOD, as well as A MERCIFUL GOD,

the two go hand in hand, God is not one without the Other,

God is Love,

and LOVE, is, MORAL, HOLY, AND MERCIFUL.

Love is 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

4: Love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5: It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6: Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

7: It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

8: Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9: For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10: but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

12: For now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The part about when I was a child--is often too, taken as a means of indifference,

apathy,

we are to also, become childlike,

Jesus said:
1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"
2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.3 Then he said, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 "And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf* is welcoming me.6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:1-5

That, is why, we call Him,

Abba Father...


In Christ,

Jane
