If Porn Made Us Healthy

If pornography made us healthy, we would be healthy by now

Damage to women which precedes working in the sex industry

Most strippers, as with other women who work in the sex industry, are adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Research indicates the number is between 60%-80%. One study found that 35% of strippers have Multiple Personality Disorder, 55% had Borderline Personality Disorder, and 60% had Major Depressive Episodes, These are severe psychiatric problems and many of them are connected to childhood sexual abuse. These are women who when they were little girls would get into their beds each night and roll themselves into a fetal position and every night he would come in and peel her open. The physical and visual invasion of little girl’s bodies damages them psychologically and gives them a psychologically unhealthy view of sexuality. Often as adults they reenact their childhood trauma by working as strippers, Playboy models, and prostitutes. The men who, now as customers, physically and visually invade the adult women’s bodies, reenact the role of the perpetrator. These women work in the sex industry because it feels like home.

Damage to women which comes from working in the sex industry

Among strippers, eating disorders are rampant. Many of the women starve, vomit, abuse exercise or laxatives to become the unnatural shape that is demanded of them. Plastic surgery is almost invariably required especially artificial breasts to produce unnaturally large breasts. This surgery is considered a necessity despite the evidence that artificial breasts interfere with mammograms, and are implicated in autoimmune deficiency disorders in the women, and digestive disorders in the babies of the women who have had the surgery.

Strippers are often substance abusers as well; one study found the number to be 40%. Sometimes this is-because they have to numb themselves to be able to do the work they do. Often the consumption of alcohol is required on the job. Strippers who refuse to drink or who refuse to accept drinks from customers can be fired, coerced or threatened by bosses. Even strippers who have told their superiors that they are alcoholics who attend AA meetings are told that they have to drink on the job. Sometimes customers tip the strippers with cocaine. Cocaine addiction is common.

Their personal lives and relationships suffer as well. Women who work in the sex industry have only a 25% chance of making a marriage that will last as long as three years. If the sex industry and pornography made us sexually healthy and improved marriages, one would expected that those most involved would have the healthiest marriages but just the opposite is true. These women often hate men and disparage them. They believe that all men are capable of the attitudes and permission-giving beliefs that allow men to feel entitled to buy the physical and visual invasion of women’s bodies. Many strippers say they would never date the men who go to strip clubs because they find these men disgusting. Often the only kind of "dates" that these women make with customers is for prostitution. The hatred of men by strippers is deep and widespread. They describe their inner dialogue while they are stripping and it is virulent hate speech against the customers they pretend to desire. The psychological demand to numb themselves or to cover their disgust for their customers exacts a terrible toll on the strippers.

The job that they do is fraught with dangers and unpleasantry. In one study 100% of the strippers reported some kind of physical or verbal abuse on their jobs. Verbal abuse by customers is extremely common with 91% reporting incidents. They were routinely called degrading names like c–t (52%), w—e (61%), and b—h (85%). Besides the verbal abuse, all endured some type of physical abuse on the job. Despite the fact that it is illegal to touch a stripper, strippers reported that customers grabbed them by the arm (88%), grabbed their breast (73%), or their buttock (91%). Customers at strip clubs often assault the women. Customers pulled their hair (27%), pinched them (58%), slapped them (24%), or bite them (36%). They are often attacked in the str1p club in front of bodyguards and other audience members.

If men would do this to women in public, what would they do to women in private? Strippers are often raped. Strippers have reported that they have been followed home (70%) and have been stalked (42%). The fact that strippers work with bodyguards is evidence to the fact that their fears that this activity causes violence are realistic. Strippers may have bodyguards while they are at work but when they leave, they are as vulnerable as is the rest of the female population. Most women interact with these individuals without the benefit of a bodyguard. All women will have to interact with the strip club patrons who have permission-giving beliefs about the use of women’s bodies. Strip club patrons do not apply their beliefs only to women who work in the sex industry. Strippers, having been damaged by their own sexual abuse, now go on to work in an industry that encourages the beliefs that will allow behavior that hurts all women. The unbroken chain of victim and victimizer continues.

Self-esteem damage is invariable in this profession but, because these are survivors of abuse, some of the strippers claim to feel better about themselves by stripping, This level of denial is typical of untreated survivors and addicts. They are so disempowered and so damaged by their early abuse that they have no concept of healthy self-esteem or of self-respect for the human body and spirit. This lack of self-esteem mixed with their unhealthy attitude about sexuality causes them to think that selling their bodies will make them feel better. Many strippers move on to become prostitutes. Much of their thinking and behavior is conceptually similar to the thinking and behavior of other addicts.

Damage to men which comes from involvement in the sex industry

For the man who becomes sex addicted there are an enormous host of problems that could be anticipated. Often the addict anticipates few of the outcomes; denial is a large part of the problem. Research indicates and my clinical practice supports that approximately 40% of sex addicted males will lose their spouse. Severe financial consequences will be suffered by about 59% with some losing all of their savings and earnings. in general, about 27% will either lose their jobs or be demoted. Among professionals who are sex addicted, as many as 40% will lose their professions due to their sexual acting out.

With high-risk sex being so frequent among this group, health concerns are typical. Sexually transmitted diseases range from those that are readily treatable to those that are deadly. The risk of receiving a disease is added to by the risk of transmission to others. In some cases, the disease may be transmitted to sex industry workers but many cases it is transmitted to the non-sex addicted spouse. Family life is frequently disrupted due to abandonment of the wife and children or severe friction if the family stays physically intact. Arrest is always a threat and also destabilizes the family. Suicide is not infrequent. The consequences and the pain caused by this disorder are severe and yet the addict does not stop. This is an indication of the strength of the pull. The life of the sex addict is filled with pain and shame as the downward spiral takes hold.

Substance abuse is common with alcohol, marijuana and cocaine being the most often drugs of choice of the sex addict. Steven Chambers, who treats drug addicts at the Coatesville Veterans’ Administration hospital, has described the damage done to his clients by sex and pornography addiction. Those who have drug relapses most frequently relapse because of the sex/pornography addiction through cocaine prostitutes, addicted sex partners, etc.

Sex and pornography addiction has become such a wide spread problem that, with very little publicity, there are now 80 AA-type groups for sex and pornography addiction in the Delaware Valley. In my clinical practice I have found this addiction to be less likely to remit than cocaine addiction and more likely to relapse. Most traditional addiction treatment starts with detoxification to remove the substance (cocaine, alcohol, etc.) from the body. Sex addiction from pornography, whether it is print, video, or live pornography like stripping, produces mental imagery which is permanently implanted in the mind of the user and is scaled in by brain chemistry. This is the first addictive substance for which there is no hope for detoxification.

The minimal user of pornography also shows signs of significant negative impact. The damage to marriage of visual infidelity is massive, Sex addicts often have no conception of healthy sexuality and their partners often end up engaging in degrading behaviors. I often hear complaints from partners who feel degraded by a sex addict who watches pornography during the sex act with them and much worse. The partners of sex addicts are often depressed, low in self-esteern, have eating disorders, and sexual dysfunction brought on by body self consciousness or sexual numbing and who fake their orgasms. The damage caused by the addict is not just to the women with whom they are partners. The damage is also seen in the damage to the general respect of women, inability to be intimate in healthy ways, and inability to interact with women in a professional environment in respectful ways. This encourages sexual harassment on the job.

Pornography is also hate speech about men. The sex industry spreads the myth that male sexuality is viciously narcissistic, predatory and out of control, It is not just strippers who come to think of all men as sexual "pond-scum". This myth about men makes it difficult for women to give men the trust and respect that they are due and damages the image that men have of themselves and of male sexuality.

Damage to the society in general which comes from the sex industry

The level of sexual violence in the society is at epidemic proportions. We are experiencing a sexual holocaust. One in 8 women are raped, 50% of females will be sexually harassed on their jobs. By the time a female in this country is 18 years old, 38% have been sexually molested. We are the most sexually violent nation on earth.

Studies have shown a connection with rape both stranger rape and acquaintance rape. When normal college mates are shown pornography, 50-65% of them then say they would be willing to rape a women if they thought they wouldn’t get caught. Males who have committed acquaintance rape are more likely to be frequent readers of sex magazines like Playboy and Hustler. The more sex magazines sold within a state the higher the rape rate.

Studies have found significant changes in beliefs when subjects have been shown pornography. They come to believe that unusual sex behavior even psychiatrically disordered behavior is more common than they thought it was before. This includes behaviors such as having sex with animals and mixing sex with violence. They come to find damaging behavior as more acceptable such as showing pornography to children. They become less negative in their attitudes toward rape and believe that rapists should receive lighter sentences. They have a 50% reduction in their belief that women should be liberated. In one study done in Pennsylvania, Chiefs of Police were polled about the impact of strip clubs on their communities. A majority of police chiefs believed that strip clubs cause crime, that the community does not want them and that the quality of life would be better if they were illegal. In fact, when Oklahoma City closed down 150 porn shops, they had a 26% reduction in rapes.

In the last 12 years I have specialized in the treatment of sexual violence victims and perpetrators. I have not treated one case of sexual violence that did not include pornography. In every case of sibling incest that I have treated, the pornography involved has been sex magazines most often Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler.

Erotica USA wants to continue the cycle of violence and damage. They depend on our silence to continue to make money by hurting people. All of us need to stand up and tell them that they will never have the comfort of our silence again.

Big Bang From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"In cosmology, the Big Bang theory is the scientific theory of the early development and shape of the universe. The central idea is that the theory of general relativity can be combined with the observations on the largest scales of galaxies receding from each other to extrapolate the conditions of the universe back or forward in time. A natural consequence of the Big Bang is that in the past the universe had a higher temperature and a higher density. The term "Big Bang" is used both in a narrow sense to refer to a point in time when the observed expansion of the universe (Hubble’s law) began, and in a more general sense to refer to the prevailing cosmological paradigm explaining the origin and evolution of the universe."

"The term "Big Bang" was coined in 1949 by Fred Hoyle during a BBC radio program, The Nature of Things; the text was published in 1950. Hoyle did not subscribe to the theory and intended to mock the concept."

The Big Bang and Redshift Theories are not scientific laws or laws of physics. A scientific law must be 100% correct. Failure to meet only one challenge proves the law was wrong. This web page will prove that the Big Bang and Redshift Theories fail many challenges, not simply one. The Big Bang Theory will never become a law of science because it is wrought with errors. The Redshift theory is not proven and also fails. This is why they are called a theories instead of laws. The Big Bang and Redshift Theories are "politically correct" concepts that are perpetuated by brainwashing of the general public, especially school students.

A good example of "politically correctness" and brainwashing is the Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia. Wikipedia prides itself in allowing visitors to revise the web page in most cases. However, they do not allow a reference and link to this website because we refute UFOs, Aliens, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Roswell, Area 51, Crop Circles, Antigravity, Bermuda Triangle, evolution, Big Bang Theory and Red Shift Light Theory. Wikipedia is a good example of the media perpetuating myths.

Big Bang Flaw No. 1 - The Expanding Universe Theory

The Big Bang Theory violates the basic foundation of science that is Dr. Albert Einstein’s "Theory of Special Relativity."

E = M * C²

Dr. Albert Einstein developed this formula that gives the relationship between energy (E), mass (M) and the speed of light (C). The theory has been proven in numerous ways. It is the theory behind the atomic bombs for both fusion and fission reactions. Dr. Einstein conducted experiments to prove his theory. It stands without a challenge.

The Big Bang Theory states that the universe was once a dense, hot body of matter that exploded and has been expanding since the beginning, some 10 to 20 billion years ago. Dr. Einstein’s formula shows that the material could not exceed the speed of light as it expanded. Mass becomes infinite as the speed approaches the speed of light. Increasing the energy in the initial "bang" cannot increase the speed beyond the speed of light. The mass will increase proportionately as the initial energy is increased. The mass increases to approach infinity as the energy level approaches infinity. The big flaw in the big bang theory is not solved.

The initial near speed of light for the expanding universe in the Big Bang theory seems large at first glance, but this is not the case. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second). This may seem fast to us, but it is a snail’s pace in cosmic terms. A cosmic distance of 186,000 miles is negligible. One second is like an eternity in Big Bang terms.

A speed near the speed of light is inadequate for mass to escape the tremendous gravitational field at time zero in the Big Bang theory. The matter would simply decelerate sharply and collapse back onto itself again. The speed of light is much less than the escape velocity needed for matter during the Big Bang explosion. The Big Bang would simply give a big burp or big beluga and collapse back again. The energy would be changed back into mass. This condition is witnessed daily in observing the sun. Giant explosions called sun spots on the sun blast material hundreds of thousands of miles (km) into space only to decelerate and collapse back into the sun again. Radiation and light escape from the sun but matter cannot.

One cosmologist has suggested that the material forming our universe blasted out from the "Big Bang" at a speed greater than the speed of light. At least this guy can see the speed of light as a barrier to the expanding universe theory. However, having matter move at a greater speed than the speed of light is totally devoid of any theoretical formulas, violates Dr. Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, and lacks astronomical observations to prove it. Nothing in the universe has been shown to travel at a speed greater than the speed of light except some forms of radiation. These scientists are going at the problem backwards. The scientific formulas and laws must be developed to support the theory before the theory is accepted. Instead, the scientific community has accepted the Big Bang Theory without any supporting science or supporting observations. Now they are simply throwing out any wild idea imaginable in hopes of saving the Big Bang Theory from collapse.

The Big Bang Theory is based on energy being turned into matter. Scientists are using particle accelerators in an attempt to prove this theory. The success has been very limited. Scientists have been unable to create even one atom of hydrogen. The atomic bomb turns matter into energy, but this process is highly irreversible. The claim that all of the matter in the cosmos was created from energy is a myth.

Big Bang Flaw No. 2 - The Red Light Shift Theory

The "Red Light Shift Theory" is in big trouble. Perhaps this should be listed as Big Bang Flaw No. 1 because it gave birth to the Big Bang Theory. The red light shift theory is the very foundation for the Big Bang Theory. The theory was first formulated by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason in 1929 and became known as the Hubble Redshift Theory. The concept of a universe expanding from a single source at a real point of time in the past was developed because Dr. Hubble discovered the red light shift. Dr. Hubble found that very distant galaxy clusters were emitting light with a red shift. The thought was that a distant body was moving away from us because the light emitted had a shift to a longer wave length caused by the velocity. This is called the Doppler effect in sound waves. White light emitted from an object that is moving away at a high speed appears in the red spectrum. The light appears in the violet or blue spectrum when the object is moving toward the viewer. The concept is simple, perhaps too simple. The Redshift Theory has our little planet at the center of the universe because nearly all galaxies are moving away from us. This is ridiculous. It seems the myth that the Earth is the center of the universe will never die.

The idea that the speed of light is a constant is nebulous at best (a little humor there). In our small little world the speed of light appears to be constant only because we cannot measure the change over a large distance. This problem is analogous to saying the speed of a bullet fired from a gun is constant. It appears to be constant if you measure the bullet velocity one meter from the end of the barrel and measure it again two meters from the barrel. However, the truth is revealed if you measure the velocity 1000 meters from the barrel. The air and gravity slow the bullet as predicted by the laws of science.

What about light? Light has mass and the bullet has mass. The fact that light has mass was proven and measured many years ago. Light is affected by gravity that is produced by other masses. Light bends as it travels past distant planets, stars and galaxies. Certainly the numerous masses in the universe can slow or accelerate the light by gravitational attraction. White light emitted by a stationary object will appear as redshift light if the velocity is slowed for any reason. So what made Dr. Hubble think that the light speed was not affected by gravitational fields in the universe? I suppose he didn’t stop to consider all of the alternatives.

Light traveling through the universe is slowed or accelerated by the gravitational fields of stars and galaxies. Light conforms to the proven formula F = MA as discussed below. Cosmologists calculate that 90 percent of the mass in the universe cannot be seen. The visible stars and galaxies only comprise 10 percent of the mass of the universe. The black mass is there and has an effect on light passing nearby.

All stationary galaxies would appear to be traveling away from Earth in every direction if the light from those galaxies was slowed as it traveled through space. The light from a more distant stationary galaxy would be slowed more because of the greater distance from Earth. This is exactly what the red shift measurements show. A reduction in the speed of light as it travels through the cosmos is the scientific expectation that destroys the Big Bang Theory.

We also have the problem with antimatter. Scientists claim there is such a thing. How does it affect light? Where is the antimatter? The vacuum of interstellar space may not be a vacuum. It may contain plasma clouds of particles smaller than an electron that slow the speed of light. The science against the Redshift Theory is immense and the Big Bang Theory is in serious jeopardy.

Today, November 8, 2005, I propose a new theory that the speed of light slows as it travels through the cosmos. Science to this point has incorrectly assumed that the speed of light is constant. The amount of slowing of the speed of light will be called the "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law." I will also propose here a scientific study that will prove by simple observation of the cosmos that the speed of light does indeed decrease as it travels through spacetime and the factor can be easily calculated.

Einstein proposed in his General Theory of Relativity that time and space are warped by mass. The greater the mass the greater the warp. He proposed that by traveling fast in space and returning to the point of origin one will experience a smaller amount of elapsed time than that of a person who remained at the point of origin. The space traveler is a little younger than he would have been had he not traveled at a high velocity in space. This phenomenon is known as time dilation, and is an irreversible time resistance that has been proven by scientific experiment. However, Einstein failed to propose that the spacetime warp also causes a decrease in the velocity of matter traveling through space. Einstein taught that the speed of light was a finite, constant value. I propose that the velocity of the mass is subjected to a resistance by the warp of space and time. The reduction in the velocity of mass in spacetime also increases entropy and is irreversible. This resistance can be thought of as similar to a ball rolling on a surface. The warp or deflection of the surface and ball will cause a resistance that is proportional to the amount of warp. Engineers use this factor daily as the rolling friction resistance that increases entropy and is irreversible. Likewise, a mass traveling in space is not resistance free. The mass is constantly pushing against the spacetime warp.

Light does have a very small mass that does cause a very small spacetime warp. However, the spacetime warp caused by light is not zero. Light has a very high speed and travels over vast distances in the cosmos that we measure in millions of light-years. The velocity of light emitted from a distant object in the cosmos slowly decreases due to the "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law." The speed of light emitted from the most distant galaxies decreases the most because the "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law" effects the light over the vast distance, not solely because the galaxy has a higher expanding velocity as Dr. Hubble taught. This change in the speed of light appears as a red shift in the visual spectrum even though the distant galaxy may have no differential velocity. Therefore, the more distance galaxies are expected to have the greatest red shift in the velocity of the light because the farther light travels the slower is the velocity. This does not suggest the Earth is at the center of the cosmos as does the Redshift Theory. The red shift occurs for galaxies that are also static in space. The cosmos does not have a center because it does not have an outer limit. The cosmos is infinite. Our vision is limited, not the cosmos. Future telescopes stronger than the Hubble Space Telescope will find galaxies in space extending to the reaches of present observation and beyond. Space is infinite. The cosmos is infinite. Dr. Hubble observed the "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law" in action, but he gave the wrong reason to explain the phenomena. Dr. Hubble incorrectly assumed the galaxy velocity accounted for all of the red shift. He failed to recognize that a drop in the speed of light due to spacetime warp resistance was also occurring and accounted for the majority of the redshift.

The resistance or friction on a mass moving in spacetime also has an effect on time. The "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law" causes time as experienced by the mass to slow relative to other mass that is not moving in spacetime. This phenomena has already been proven by sending an accurate clock into space and back. The velocity of the clock in spacetime resulted in less elapsed time than the clock remaining on earth. The velocity in spacetime is proportional to the rate of reduction in time. This time reduction is not a reversible process, and resistance or friction of spacetime results in a reduction in velocity as well as time. Travel in the vacuum of space is not a frictionless motion. Thus the cosmos is slowing, not accelerating as stated by Dr. Hubble.

The "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law" can be calculated on modern super computers by estimating the distance of galaxies based on their size (as done with a hunter’s rifle telescope to judge the distance of a deer), assuming no expansion velocity and measuring the red shift of light. The average over many calculations will give a reasonable accuracy. The theoretical calculation using advanced mathematics will yield the same result some day in the future to confirm the factor. The "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law" absolutely destroys the Hubble Redshift and the Big Bang Theories.

I, Kent R. Rieske, believe a Nobel prize should be awarded to me for the discovery of The "Rieske Spacetime Warp Factor Law". It seem appropriate since this is perhaps the greatest discovery in all of science.

Big Bang Flaw No. 3 - The Original Ignition Dilemma

A scientific theory for the original energy source for the "Big Bang" is totally lacking. What event pulled the trigger to start the Big Bang? Did the universe reach a critical energy or critical mass level that started the event? The Big Bang Theory is far out. The ignition that supposedly started the Big Bang is devoid of science. There aren’t any serious attempts to explain it because no explanation is possible. The original ignition did not happen because it was impossible. Somebody has been watching too many fireworks on the 4th of July. Click the image to see an enlargement.

The universe has galaxies and clusters of galaxies everywhere. Some are close and some are far away. They are on every side of us. They seem to be distributed throughout the universe but in an uneven manner. Now, this isn’t logical for a common point birth. There are actually grown men with advanced degrees that believe the entire cosmos was once concentrated in a pinpoint. This is pure nonsense.

The fireworks picture shown here appears to have matter distributed throughout and in a fairly even manner. The picture is deceiving us because the camera film recorded the burning particles from the beginning of ignition to the end. The particles appear as streaks or curved lines rather than particles. The curved lines are caused by the gravity of the Earth. In reality the particles in the fireworks at any instant are all very close to the same distance from the center. They form a shell or the perimeter of a sphere. All of the particles move out from the center at the same time and same distance. The universe is not like that. Somebody should have called it the "Big Squirt Theory" instead. Some galaxies are proposed to be very far from the original center and some still very close. This is simply not possible. The original mass or energy would have to keep squirting out galaxies in a continuous fashion over billions of years to produce the uneven distribution we see in the universe. The Big Bang Theory is a fairytale, folks.

Big Bang Flaw No. 4 - The Acceleration of the Universe Conflict

The calculated acceleration of distance galaxies and galaxy clusters is a serious dilemma for the Big Bang Theory. What is the means of the propulsion? How could a galaxy accelerate through the universe? There are no theories because the concept is silly, but it is a conclusion that one must reach if the Redshift Theory is true. Obviously the Redshift Theory is wrong. A galaxy, such as M100 shown here, has no possible method to increase the speed of travel through the cosmos.

The surrounding mass from other galaxies, galaxy clusters, black matter, light and unknown particles would have the effect of slowing the expansion. Masses produce a gravitational field that pulls the masses together. They do not push away from each other. Scientists in the past expected to see the universe expanding at a slower rate, stopped or contracting at an accelerating rate. Expansion at an accelerating rate is impossible. The Redshift Theory is simply wrong.

Dr. Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity said that the universe must be contracting. He thought the universe was static and introduced a cosmological constant as a correction factor. He later called the constant "my biggest blunder" after accepting the Redshift Theory that the universe is expanding. It now appears his biggest blunder was the acceptance of his first blunder. Dr. Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity does not support an accelerating expansion.

Big Bang Flaw No. 5 - The Black Hole Dilemma

The Black Hole Theory appears to be true. Matter at the center of a galaxy as shown here can become so concentrated that the gravitational field prevents everything from leaving. Light cannot escape causing the matter to be invisible. X-rays cannot escape. The black hole appears by visual observation to be empty space. The black hole is not as large as the black center of this galaxy picture. The stars near the black hole have been drawn in. The gravitational force is large. This causes the diameter of a stable orbit to be very large. Black holes have been proven to be real because of the action of stars in orbit around the black hole, and a black hole bends light that passes nearby.

According to NASA, "One of the most energetic explosive events known is a supernova. These occur at the end of a star’s lifetime, when its nuclear fuel is exhausted and it is no longer supported by the release of nuclear energy. If the star is particularly massive, then its core will collapse and in so doing will release a huge amount of energy. This will cause a blast wave that ejects the star’s envelope into interstellar space. The result of the collapse may be, in some cases, a rapidly rotating neutron star that can be observed many years later as a radio pulsar."

A supernova has an escape velocity less than the speed of light. Therefore, light is emitted from a supernova and matter is blasted away at a velocity greater than the escape velocity. A black hole has greater mass than a supernova. Light and matter cannot escape from a black hole because the velocity required to escape the large gravitational field is greater than the speed of light, but light and matter cannot travel greater than the speed of light. A black hole cannot explode for this reason. All matter and light that is drawn into a black hole will remain there forever.

The origin of the universe just prior to the proposed Big Bang would be trillions of trillions of times more massive than any suspected black hole. We could think of this center as having infinite mass and having an infinite gravitational field. Nothing could escape. The matter could never expand. No explosion of any type could produce the power to blow the matter apart. Energy would be forced to revert back into matter by the massive gravitational field. The condition would be the reverse of a nuclear bomb where matter is converted into energy. It would become a unimaginable zone of intense gravity, intense mass density but zero energy. Electrons could not circle the nucleus of an atom. All electron motion would be pulled to a stop by the massive gravitational force. The space between electrons, protons and neutrons would become zero. The author calls the origin of the Big Bang a "Nonsense Hole" because it never existed.

Black holes are a reality that proves the Big Bang Theory to be a myth.

Big Bang Flaw No. 6 - The Big Bang Residue Went Missing

A supernova loses much of its mass during it’s collapse and explosion as a massive star. The residue remaining after the explosion becomes a rapidly rotating neutron star or a radio pulsar.

Something should be left as residue from the Big Bang if the cosmos were created in this way, but the residue cannot be found. The residue should be relatively easy to find, if it existed, because the Earth is near the center of the cosmos, not far away in an edge galaxy.

A car bomb is another good analogy to the Big Bang Theory. The car fill with explosives is at the center of the blast. Objects close to the car are blown far away, but the residue of the car remains exactly where the blast occurred. The remaining residue mass from the Big Bang should have collapsed back to form a massive object. Other matter near the center should be seen as a spiral collapsing back into the center. Nothing can be found. It has gone missing or never existed.

The lack of physical evidence at the scene proves the Big Bang did not happen. There is no residue matter to be found that would have been left behind. There is not a massive black hole or any other object to identify the Big Bang origin. The Big Bang Theory is simply a myth that cannot stand a close examination of the physical evidence.

Big Bang Flaw No. 7 - The Impossible Computer Calculation

Scientists and computer geniuses cannot model the Big Bang Theory because the computer would simply say, "Cannot compute, cannot compute, cannot compute." Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and other laws of science cannot be used in a computer program because the computer would simply say, "The Big Bang Theory is a myth."

Big Bang Flaw No. 8 - The Colliding Galaxies Dilemma

We can see from this picture that the two galaxies appear to be colliding. Many galaxy pairs are seen this way with some in the obvious exchange of matter. We should accept the obvious. Some galaxies are nearing a collision. Other pictures that are said to be collisions are obvious not. The difference is in the detail of the stars. Let us say you take a pictures with a telephoto lens of a train 10 miles (16.7 km) away traveling toward you. A man walking on the railroad tracks one mile (1.7) km) ahead of the train appears in the picture to be nearing his immediate death from the collision. The same deception can be seen with galaxies. One is behind the other. Click the image to see an enlargement.

Cosmologists tell us that some galaxies are traveling toward each other and are going to collide or have a near miss. This simply could not be true if they came from the same point of origin as stated by the Big Bang Theory. Galaxies cannot change direction. The scientific law of the conservation of momentum proves galaxies cannot change direction. Galaxies should all be expanding away from each other, not moving, or all moving toward each other according to the Big Bang Theory. Cosmologists say some are moving away from each other and some are moving toward each other. Somebody here is seriously wrong. The two galaxies colliding prove the Big Bang Theory is wrong. Astrophysicists should know better, but they are either brainwashed or intimidated into silence.

F = M * A

Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) is one of the giants of science. Newton’s second law of motion has never failed in theory or in observation. Newton’s second law, which we can restate as force (F) equals the mass (M) multiplied by the acceleration (A) rate. This formula is very simple, but it is the foundation for calculations engineers and scientists use every day.

What this equation means is that the force applied to any object will cause it to accelerate. A planetary space probe will continue traveling in a straight line unless a force is applied to change the speed or change the direction. Rocket side thrusters can be fired to make a mid-course correction. Rocket thrusters built into the front of the space probe can be fired in the reverse direction to slow the space probe for achieving an orbit around a planet.

F = (G * M₁ * M₂) / D²

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion defined the gravitational relationship between two objects. Gravity is something we all understand when we fall off a ladder. Each particle of matter on Earth and in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula above gives the force developed by this attraction. The force accelerates our fall from the ladder until we hit the ground. You will not go floating off into space in some other direction one day.

The force (F), Newtons, equals the product of the gravitational constant (G) times the mass of the first object (M₁), kilograms, times the mass of the second object (M₂), kilograms, divided by the square of the distance (D), meters, between the centers of gravity of the two masses. The gravitational constant (G) has the value of G = 6.672 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg^-2. The weight you see when you step on a scale is the force between you, the Earth and everything else in the universe. The space probe in our example above is attracted by everything else in the universe as well. The probe enters an orbit around another planet when the gravitational force of the planet equals the centrifugal force required to travel in a circle. These two laws can be proven by spinning a mass on the end of a wire or by observing any galaxy in the cosmos. Stars are held a precise orbit within a galaxy because these two laws are exact and true in every galaxy of the cosmos.

Einstein proposed in his General Theory of Relativity that both distance and time are flexible forming a single entity he called spacetime. He proposed that very high gravity forces warp spacetime causing a very small deviation from Newton’s formula that ignored time. Many modern scientists and science writers have the audacity to claim Newton’s formula proposed in 1666 to be wrong. Newton’s formula was one of the most brilliant scientific achievements know to mankind. His formula is still used to this day in placing space probes into proper orbit around distant planets. One cannot find a formula for Einstein’s gravity calculations because it is simply to complex to be practical. The reasons for the harsh criticism and hatred of Newton by some science writers boggles the mind. Perhaps it is because Newton believed the cosmos was created by God. The correction of Newton’s formula involves changing the exponent of the radius from 2.0 to 2.00000016. This is less than 2 parts in one million. Modern scientists and science writers invalidate this change because it is based on observation, not theory where G = 6.672 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg^-2.00000016.

Einstein’s original theory of gravity showed the cosmos to be collapsing, not expanding as suggest by the Redshift Theory. Einstein proved that gravity changes the direction of light but failed to theorize that gravity can therefore increase or decrease the speed of light. Because of this misunderstanding he accepted Hubble’s Redshift Theory and added a fudge factor into in gravity calculations. He believed that his theory was wrong. Yet scientists and science writers withhold criticism of Einstein’s fudge factor that was based solely on observation without any theoretical basis. They worship Einstein because he half-heartily accepted the Big Bang Theory. Einstein’s original General Theory of Relativity showed the Redshift Theory to be theoretically wrong.

The combination of the Redshift Theory and the Big Bang Theory has a critical fatal flaw. Both of these equations are violated when galaxies are found to be traveling toward each other. The fireworks picture at the top of this page illustrates the errors in the Redshift and Big Bang theories. You can see that no two objects in the fireworks are traveling toward each other. They are getting farther apart as they expand from the center. The Big Bang Theory violates many laws of science that are proven daily by theory, observation and experimentation. Scientists who would like to keep their jobs and keep the research money rolling in had better keep their mouths shut. Research money for topics that would easily prove the Big Bang Theory to be wrong is non existent. The intimidation of those scientists rejecting the Big Bang Theory is extreme.

Big Bang Flaw No. 9 - The Expanding Gas Cloud Dilemma

Big Bang enthusiasts tell us the original explosion sent out clouds of hydrogen and helium gases that compressed and coalesced into galaxies and stars. There is a big problem with this idea. Clouds of gases don’t compress and coalesce into a more dense mass. Just the opposite is the scientific truth. Gases expand and become less dense. The gravitational force is smaller than the molecular diffusion force as determined by Fick’s law of diffusion. Clouds of gases in the universe can be seen with the Hubble telescope as with Gaseous Pillars M16 in this picture. These clouds are not coalescing or collapsing into a more dense mass. Stars cannot be formed this way. There is not enough gas in a given space to make a star. The gas would simply drift way and dissipate. Obviously, the gases in this cosmos picture are not coalescing into a star or galaxy. They maintain their odd shapes because of the very low gravitational forces present. Click the image to see an enlargement.

Our smaller planets prove that gas clouds could not form stars. The planet Mercury does not have an atmosphere because gases simply float away into space. The planet does not have enough gravity to keep the gas molecules captured. Our Moon is another example. A cloud of gas released on the surface of the Moon would simply float off into space.

A gas cloud could not form a galaxy, star or planet. The outer fringes of the cloud would dissipate and the cloud would get smaller and smaller. The only possibility is that the galaxy, star or planet had dense matter from the beginning. The gas cloud theory is a bunch of hot air.

Big Bang Flaw No. 10 - Cosmos Background Radiation Went Missing

Cosmologists who support the Big Bang Theory had predicted that the initial explosion would leave behind background or microwave radiation. They were elated when radiation similar to that expected was accidentally discovered in 1965. They thought this certainly confirmed the Big Bang Theory, but it did not. The theory is still in a shambles because the background radiation has gone missing.

The background radiation discovered is certainly not from the Big Bang. It is simply radiation produced by the stars, galaxies and other matter in the universe. The radiation simply does not fit the requirements of the Big Bang.

• The background radiation is omni directional. It comes from every direction possible, not from the suspected Big Bang point of origin.

• The background radiation is too weak. The Big Bang should have produced a much stronger radiation measurement. It fits the radiation expected from galaxies instead.

• The radiation is too smooth. It is very even and does not fit the Big Bang Theory.

• The background radiation temperature spectrum is too low.

• The background radiation has the wrong spectrum. It does not match the black body spectrum as expected.

Rather than being supportive and confirming the Big Bang Theory, the background radiation adds more doubt. The background radiation matches all expectation as coming from the galaxies of the cosmos. The background radiation expected from the Big Bang Theory does not exist because the event never happened.

Big Bang Flaw No. 11 - Expanding Space Addendum Falters and Fails

Cosmologists push the Big Bang Theory in school curriculums as if it were the truth, while many have doubts themselves. A new addendum has been proposed in an attempt to keep the Big Bang Theory from utter collapse. The expanding space addendum is basically an admission that the Big Bang Theory has many faults. The expanding space concept is an attempt to resolve them. Click the image to see an enlargement.

The expanding space idea suggests that the Big Bang was not a gigantic explosion but was instead an expansion of space. The proponents claim the speed of light is not a limitation in the expanding space concept because expanding space has no speed limitation. The speed of light is only a limitation within the boundaries of space. This proposal suggests that space has edges, and if you go too far you will fall off. This concept is reminiscent of the old flat Earth idea commonly accepted several centuries ago. Sailors refrained from venturing too far out to sea for fear of falling off the edge of the flat Earth. Things never change.

The expanding space concept has many flaws. Space is not a physical body that has limits. Space is not something that can move or have dimensions. Space is not expanding. Space is infinite. Space is simply the absence of matter.

Another major flaw in the expanding space concept can be seen in distant galaxies. If space were expanding, we should see the size of distant galaxies expanding as well. Space exists between the stars that make up a galaxy. The expanding space proponents simply sidestep this problem by saying space expands all around a galaxy but not within the galaxy. No! This logic does not compute. The expanding space theory has no scientific support or observational support. Space cannot be seen, felt, measured or observed because space is nothing. We call this nothingness, space. Space should not be treated as if it were something. Nice try, guys, but that dog won’t hunt.

God Stretched Out The Heavens

The decay in the speed of light theory shows that the universe is not as old as modern science calculates. The theory also explains why Adam and Eve had very long lives, and longevity of people after the fall of Adam began to decline in concert with a decay in the speed of light. The decay in the speed of light theory is also supported by the Bible which states that God "stretched out the heavens" in Isaiah 42:5, 45:12, 48:13, 51:13 and Jeremiah 10:12. The stretching out of the heavens and the decay in the speed of light make present day galaxies appear to be billions of light years away as calculated by the current speed of light. In fact, they could be much closer and the age of the universe much less because of this "stretching" and the associated higher speed of light. This theory is not the same as the expanding space theory that is devoid of an explanation for the expansion.

The picture is the center of the M-51 Whirlpool Galaxy taken by the Hubble Telescope. It is sometimes called the "Cross Galaxy." Click the image to see an enlargement.

Reports of the Death of Speed of Light Decay are Premature

Studies Suggest the Speed of Light has Decreased in the Past 300 Years

The stretching of the heavens as described in the Bible may simply mean that God spread the galaxies across the cosmos over a vast expanse that we see with modern telescopes. The speed of light could very well have remained constant since the creation or it could be in a state of decay.

Big Bang Flaw No. 12 - Time, Distance and Age are all Messed up

The Big Bang Theory demands that older galaxies be toward the outer edge of the cosmos, but this is not the case. Galaxies very far away should be old but some appear to be young. Galaxies close to us should be young since we are said to be near the center, but some appear to be old. The Big Bang Theory is simply a mess.

In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.

The Bible correctly describes the decrepit state of the supporters of the Big Bang Theory.

Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.

ROMANS 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.

The Cosmos is a Steady-State but Dynamic Universe Giving Birth to New Galaxies

Observational astronomer Dr. Halton Arp has proposed in his book, Seeing Red, that the cosmos is a steady-state universe. There was no Big Bang, and there is no expansion. The older galaxies have a low red shift instead of a high red shift as required by the Big Bang Theory. Some old galaxies are giving birth to twin quasars that have a high red shift. The quasars are ejected from opposite sides of the parent galaxy at a high speed calculated to be between a fraction of the speed of light to near the speed of light. The red shift difference between the quasar twins confirms they are moving at equal speeds but in opposite directions. The quasars continue into the universe where each will become a new galaxy. Dr. Arp’s conclusions match the observations we see in the universe. The Big Bang Theory does not.

God created the original cosmos. God is in control. The cosmos is dynamic with old galaxies giving birth to new galaxies. This can be proven by observation. Galaxies can be seen in clusters with old galaxies and young galaxies in the same cluster. Newly created galaxies can be ejected from a twin quasar in any random direction, not expanding as claimed by the Big Bang Theory. This dynamics accounts for the fact that some galaxies are colliding with each other. All of these observations prove the Big Bang Theory to be a myth of gigantic proportions.

<img src="http://media.komotv.com/images/070226_Vicente_Moreno.jpg" border="0" width="192"><br>This undated photo shows Vicente Ignacio Beltran Moreno, who is wanted in connection with the abduction of a 13-year-old boy from a bus stop.
<br>MIAMI (AP) - A 13-year-old boy bound to a tree in the woods foiled a kidnapping-for-ransom plan by using a safety pin, his teeth and his hands to escape, police said Sunday.

Investigators searched a Bradenton house early Sunday and issued an arrest warrant for Vicente Ignacio Beltran Moreno, 22, but authorities believe he has fled the state.

The truck suspected of being used in the kidnapping was found outside the home believed to be Beltran’s, detectives said. They also found a ransom note with threats, though they would not say where it was found or what it demanded.

Friday morning, about a dozen children at a school bus stop watched as Clay Moore was forced at gunpoint into a red pickup truck, police said.

It appeared the boy was chosen randomly from the group of children in Parrish, a town about 30 miles southeast of St. Petersburg that has seen explosive growth but still has many rural areas, authorities said.

"Clay was just at the wrong place at the wrong time," Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells said.

Clay was bound and left alone about 20 miles away in some dense woods on a farm where Beltran had worked three years ago, police said.

Clay used a safety pin to cut through the duct tape and wriggled free. He then pulled the sock from his mouth, began walking until he found a farmer with a cell phone and called his mother, authorities said.

A sheriff’s office spokesman, Dave Bristow, said the teen had the safety pin on him. He did not know whether it was in a pocket or elsewhere, but apparently the boy remembered it and used it to help in his escape.

"This man kidnapped the wrong kid," Wells said. "This is an observant kid. He’s courageous."

Investigators believe the kidnapper planned to leave the boy tied up in the woods until the ransom was paid, Wells said. Authorities were trying to determine whether there were other suspects involved.

On Saturday, investigators and the boy returned to the farm where he was rescued a day earlier. A sketch of the suspect was shown to workers who identified Beltran, Bristow said.

Beltran, a native of Mexico, had worked at the farm three years ago, but later became a laborer for an aluminum contractor, Bristow said.

Beltran did not have a published telephone listing in Manatee County.</font>

They’re on a Crusade to Bring Salvation to an Unlikely Industry, but Their Biggest Critics Are Christians

By MARTIN BASHIR

Feb. 2, 2007 —The American evangelical church, in its various denominations, has boldly sent missionaries to every corner of the world. But according to a team of evangelists based in Michigan, there’s one industry in the homeland that’s been largely ignored by the church. It’s the booming business of pornography.

"I think the American church for a long time just kinda stuck their head in the spiritual sand on the whole issue of porn," says so-called "Porn Pastor" JR Mahon. "As far as Christianity here [in the U.S.] goes, we’ve got a lot of work to do."

Five years ago, Craig Gross, also a seminary-trained evangelist, created an online fellowship called XXXChurch.com.

Watch the story on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 p.m.

The fellowship’s title was designed to attract attention, and it was originally intended as a resource for Christians who were struggling with pornography. Trouble is — they came to their own, and their own received them not.

‘Our Biggest Critics Are Christians’

"The adverse reactions came quick and came heavy, and to this day my inbox is filled with people that can’t stand us, that hate us, that wish us to go to hell," explains Mahon. "Our biggest critics are Christians."

Some Christians may be even more critical now. "Nightline" traveled with the fellowship to the world’s biggest porn convention in Las Vegas last month. The annual Adult Expo boasts two halls full of various exhibits ranging from the latest prosthetic devices, to hardcore high-definition films and handcuffs covered in pink ersatz fur.

The XXX Church set up camp, somewhat sheepishly, between the male gay section and the so-called Bang Bus — a tired old minivan which is used to film sex scenes that are then sold via the Internet.

‘Jesus Loves Porn Stars’

The Porn Pastors, as they call themselves, do not preach in open-air sermons at the convention, but instead seek to engage porn "delegates" in conversation and then hand out Bibles, which proclaim "Jesus Loves Porn Stars." And they are adamant that they are simply obeying the great commission at the end of Matthew’s Gospel to "go and make disciples of all nations."

      

"We’ve got to meet them where they’re at. That’s the great commission," explains Gross. "I think that God is using people that work with Triple X Church to carry about his message, to carry out his plan."

And they believe that by giving out a free copy of the New Testament, somebody will eventually see the light.

"The Bible says the Word won’t return void, so we’ve got to pray," says Mahon. "I prayed as I unloaded those Bibles in the booth before anyone got here. I prayed, ‘God do a miracle in these peoples’ lives.’"

‘Porn Is Easy’

They will need a miracle to stop this road show — the business of pornography is now worth at least $13 billion a year. It drives Web traffic around the world and is at the forefront of digital technology. The Porn Pastors are like evangelists crying out in the wilderness…but they believe that pornography is a serious danger, that it is delusional for men and disrespectful to women.

"It’s not real. I mean the big deal is simple. It’s not real," argues Mahon. "It’s not a real relationship between a man and a woman. Everything the porn industry shells out to the world is designed to tell you what sex should look like, and how it should smell, and who you do it with and how you do it and when you do it. The reality is — it is not reality."

By creating a fantasy, the XXX Church pastors believe that pornography makes people ill-equipped for the challenge of sustaining a real relationship. As Craig Gross explains: "Porn is a lot easier than sex especially now with the Internet. You can get it when and where you want it…and so what we see is people resort to the pornography, even when they are married and they could have a great sexual relationship, well, porn is easy."

‘There’s No Respect’

The Porn Pastors reserve their strongest condemnation for the way they say women are treated.

"There’s no respect. To think that these are somebody’s daughters. My pastor from my old church, Brian, is here with us. He says that these women are treated like dogs," says Gross.

   

And Mahon concurs. "Just look around. Look at the devices and the machines — machines that are designed to do certain things to women. Yeah, it’s degrading. There’s no doubt about it."

But the porn industry maintains that it has the most stringent health and safety rules, that nobody is ever degraded, and that the industry is just another legitimate form of adult entertainment. They also point out that an increasing number of porn stars are now migrating to the mainstream entertainment — like Jenna Jameson and Stormy Daniels, who appeared (perhaps ironically) in "The 40 Year Old Virgin."

Searching for Salvation

The XXX Church pastors reject these arguments and are determined to challenge the juggernaut of porn even as it thunders out of the shadows and into the mainstream. In addition to their presence at the Adult Expo, Mahon and Gross also tour universities where they debate with their philosophical nemesis: the legendary porn actor Ron Jeremy. They have become good friends with Jeremy but he remains undeterred, having starred in 1,800 porn movies…and counting.

However, the Porn Pastors say that they are seeing converts — people turning away from the sex industry and finding salvation.

Gross recalls one such testimony. "One of the girls that we helped out of the porn industry last year, she had to have four surgeries on her body because of the pornography and the abuse. She actually went into prostitution at one of the places here in Nevada. And I thought, ‘man, I can’t believe that.’ And she said, ‘What are you talking about? It’s so much easier to do prostitution than pornography.’"

Since her conversion to Christianity she no longer appears in pornography nor does she work as a prostitute. Meanwhile, the Porn Pastors continue to hand out Bibles and engage people in discussion, in between the relentless sounds of ecstasy that dominate the Adult Expo.

Having a mission in life is
what being purpose driven is
all about. Being someone’s
mission in life is something else
entirely. It’s an important
distinction. Have you ever been
someone’s mission in life?
Maybe it was to get you to do
something or go somewhere,
or make some change in your
life. The only way you can
accept something like this is if
you know, deep down, the
person on a mission really
loves you and wants the best
for you even though you think
he or she might be wrong
about what that is. If you are
uncertain about how the
person on a mission feels

about you, you will undoubt-
edly be devalued by this
experience. You will feel that it
isn’t you the person cares
about as much as his or her
mission for you that is para-
mount. You will feel like an
agenda on the person’s "to-
do" list or a target of the
person’s hunt.

I know of good relation-
ships between believers and
unbelievers, and I know of
bad. The good ones are the
result of a genuine loving and
accepting of each other that
goes both ways. These
relationships can last a long
time (a lifetime, for that
matter) without any change in
either one’s position. For that
to happen, does the believer
have to keep his or her beliefs
secret or in the background?
Not at all. The deciding factor
will be not that these two are
working toward agreement,
but that they love and respect
each other regardless. If the
love and respect is strong, the
believer can relate anything
about personal faith to the
other.

This is the model Chris-
tians need to follow for
relationships with those who
are not Christians - even
those who are strongly anti-
Christian. This is especially
true for long-term relationships
with neighbors, co-workers,
and family members who
share differing beliefs.

Sometimes I wonder if our primary
motive for evangelism is to get
people on our side, or to love
them into the Kingdom of
eternal life.

This is when a sense of
mission for Christians some-
times has a tendency to go
somewhat awry. When it
becomes our mission to save
people, people can easily
become targets, projects,
assignments, or serve a host of
other utilitarian purposes. The
problem with this is that
people become a means to an
end. The end is to save
everyone, to preach to every-
one, to warn everyone, or in
some way fulfill an obligation.

Let’s make one thing
^{perfectly clear: We don’t save
anyone. Only Jesus saves.
Our calling is to love God and
our neighbors. In the process
of loving our neighbors, we
will inevitably introduce them
to Jesus. (There’s no way you
can love someone and not tell
them about the most important
thing in your life.) What
happens then is God’s busi-
ness, but we will be a witness
to what we know of God to
those who are compelled to
ask. In the meantime, our
mission is to keep on loving
our neighbors, regardless.}

Love is truly our highest
calling. It relates to all people
saved or unsaved, regardless
of religion, race, or gender.

Love as God loves and you

will not go wrong. When love
is the goal, everything else gets
done in the process.

The poem that I don’t want to hear my other friends recite to me someday(AFTER life on earth)

MY FRIEND

My friend, I stand in the judgment now,
And feel that you’re to blame somehow.
On earth, I walked with you day by day,
And never did you point the way.

You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell me the story.
My knowledge then was very dim,
You could have led the way to Him.

Though we lived together on the earth,
You never told me of the second birth,
And now I stand here, condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.

You taught me many things, that’s true;
I called you "friend" and trusted you,
But now I learn, when it’s too late –
You could have saved me from this fate.

We walked and talked by dawn and night,
And yet, you showed me not His light.
You let me live and love and die,
You knew I’d never live on high.

Yes, I called you "friend" in life,
And trusted you through joy and strife,
And yet on coming to the end –
I cannot call you now "my friend".

………….my friend if you’ve come down far to this line, and touch by the poems (which is my prayer), and wondering what is second birth or never experienced the second birth, then I am so glad to be an instrument by God to tell about the Story.Please don’t hesitate to send message.
