ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - THE ANOINTING : COMPASSION OF A GOOD WOMAN!

Such were and are still my thoughts this morning, when my esteemed partner entered the room and calmly instructed me to 'put your feet here.' Gesturing towards her thigh, as she sat down on the chair opposite me.  Uh, I thought, with the appropriately puzzled look on my face.

As I sit her doing this post, and listening to the soothing, calm and reflection inducing music of Classical musicians such as Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Bach, et al.  I find that I am asking myself, 'supposed I had not had the pleasure of hearing the beautiful and powerful music of these musicians? Would I not have been musically-impoverished?  Supposed my diet of music had b

  .. to live with myself, if I were to find, or admit that have misled 'the flock'?     Then they should review and change what they have been asserting. As this would be the responsible and honest thing to do. So, when the people of the cloth, having the evidence,  the knowledge and/or information, that their acclaimed religious 'truths', doctrines or dogmas which they and their ancestors have been selling, preaching to the masses for hundreds of years.  Is eclectic fictitious myths which have been carefully and conspiratorially accumulated and processed. But still continue to proclaim that it is authentic and sacred truths, what motive can they have for doing so? What motive can these clergies have for continue to act in a manner which not only perpetuate the clerical injustice of their predecessors in persecuting, torturing and killing innocent men and women in the past, who were more enlightened than they were? It certainly cannot be said that these men and women of
