THE ANUS HAS A DIVINE FUNCTION

THIS WAS E-MAILED TO ME & I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU...WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Anal sex is increasingly common today, partly due to the lack of over standing (and understanding) of its ramifications and partly because of the contemporary tendency to do everything that was once considered taboo. First of all, let's consider the divine function of the anus. Yes, the anus has a divine function (just like every other organ in or on the human body), and it also has a beauty and sensitivity of its own. The only part of the human body that is considered unclean. The anus is the - excretory opening at the end of the alimentary canalThe feces from the colon makes it way from the intestines to the rectum and out via the anus.Therefore, the anus is an excretory organ or an "eliminative" channel (being an extension of the colon). Its divine function is to release "waste" from the body.

Science, nature, and common sense tells us that the anus is an eliminative organ and not a penetrative organ, unlike the female vagina, which is undoubtedly penetrative in nature. Unlike the female vagina (yoni), the anus cannot stretch in size without tearing the skin, cannot naturally and conveniently accommodate any size penis, and does not naturally lubricate itself to accommodate and facilitate a stroking penis. The female vagina has three layers of skin to accommodate stretching and to prevent itself from tearing, and has muscles that contract allowing pleasure and orgasm. unlike the anus which only has one layer of skin, which when torn due to being stretched (from constant penetration) , releases bacteria, bleeds and cannot experience an orgasm.

Anal intercourse tends to stretch and greatly weaken the anal sphincter muscles, producing energy loss. Anal penetration greatly disturbs the balance of vital forces in the body. The downward-moving vital principle of the anus is greatly reversed due to penetration and can lead to seriousdigestive problems, constipation, irregularity (of bowel movements),clots (causing strokes) and ultimately to cancer of the rectum. Many homosexual men over 40 who constantly take it or get it "up the butt" have to wear diaper-like products or plugs (tampons) to catch their fecal waste liquids that drip from their loose and weakened anus.

As an organ of excretion, the anus and rectal passage always contain traces of bacterial waste. A person is in danger of infection through anal insertion and can also suffer severe tissue damage, bacteria or strokes. If a man is on the DL and engages in NORMAL sex afterward, the dangerous possibility exists that bacteria will be transferred from the anus to the innermost part of the vagina (yoni) of the woman.(even after washing with soap and water bacteria and fecal waste is still present). Bleach and Hand Sanitizer is the only way of getting rid of fecal waste and bacteria. Many men engage in licking of the anus and then sucking of the penis and or kissing. 

Many people are curious as to why many black men engage in anal intercourse today. Well, for most of these men, they find it necessary to offer every bodily orifice to their lover as a symbol of their complete surrender and commitment. Curiosity, wanting to engage in a new sexual experience and the psychological desire to be punished are also variables to be considered.

Many men want to perform anal intercourse on another man as a sign of domination. You will find that most men who want to engage in anal intercourse have either a sexual deficiency complex, low self-esteem, male domination complex, demeaning attitude towards women; are incapable of loving, and/or feel weak as males in society. And I'm quite sure for many males that curiosity and wanting to experience a new sexual experience is involved. These kinds of males operate on a very low frequency and most are unconscious pertaining to universal consciousness.

THE BLACK CHURCH & GAY MARRIAGE

Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post wrote a powerful column about the recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker that overturned California's Proposition 8 law banning gay marriage: "He [Walker] frames gay marriage as a question involving the most basic, cherished rights that the Constitution guarantees to all Americans. In doing so, he raises the stakes sky-high: Are gays and lesbians full citizens of this country, or are they something else?"

The issue of the full citizenship of gays and lesbians ought to resonate with those of us who are black. The long journey of black people to full equality has revolved around the question of the legitimacy of our citizenship. Once upon a time in this country, I would have been described as being "three fifths of all other persons." Many of us observe that question still being raised as people question the birth certificate and citizenship of President Barack Obama. The conversations we're starting to hear about rescinding the 14th Amendment have a familiar ring to any student of history. I have often said, "The music of legal segregation may have ended, but the melody lingers on."

I have been distressed to read about young black men committing hate crimes against people whom they assume are gay. In the past, negative attitudes in many white Christian churches toward blacks precipitated the violence of the Ku Klux Klan. We must not allow negative attitudes about gays within the black church or elsewhere within our community to justify violence against them.

I say this as someone who has been an ordained United Methodist minister for 54 years and who has pastored black and white churches in five states. I was also one of the founders of the United Methodist Black Caucus, Black Methodists for Church Renewal and United Methodists of Color for a Fully Inclusive Church. I am also an honorary member of the board of preachers of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College.

I have heard a number of arguments against gay marriage within the black church and larger African-American community, arguments that are all too reminiscent of another time and place -- and struggle -- in this country.

BITCH


"Bitch" is a song that was released by Meredith Brooks in 1997 from her album Blurring the Edges.


The song was cowritten by Brooks and Peiken. Initially, some radio stations preferred not to mention the name of the song and would instead refer to it as "a song by Meredith Brooks". However, with time, its name became more commonplace to announce on the air. Later on, different remixes of the song became popular in dance clubs.


Brooks has stated in interviews that "Bitch" was almost omitted from the album, reportedly because of the song's strong language (containing the word 'Bitch'), which could have prevented it from becoming a radio hit.


The song steadily rose on the Billboard Charts, eventually peaking at #2. It debuted and peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart on 27 July 1997 and stayed in the top ten for four weeks. The song was also a big hit in Oceania, where it reached number two in Australia and four in New Zealand. It ranked #79 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s.

A music video was released to promote the single. It features Brooks on guitar with a flower background swirling behind her. As the song plays, different feminine objects float by showing the softer side of womanhood, such as dolls, babies, and dresses—this visually shows a juxtaposition to the common connotations of a bitch. All is shown in a no gravitation room.


Due to its particularly strong language, the song was heavily censored when it's played on the radio. Also, due to the expletive name, the song was given the alternative title "Nothing In Between". This was the title used in various Asian countries, including Malaysia, when it was first released.

OLDIE, BUT GOODIE: ¿BLACK GAY PRIDE A DEEPER LOVE?




According to http://www.inthelifeatl.com/ today marks the 12th Annual Atlanta Black Gay Pride Celebration. This even is said to be THE WORLD’S LARGEST PRIDE CELEBRATION FOR BLACK LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL & TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. Although this celebration may be a significant one for the GAY community, I can’t help but to wonder how AND why this positive celebration is overshadowed by the negative things that take place? 

A friend of mine asked me the other day if I was going to Atlanta this year for pride and I told him NO, I did NOT see a reason for me being there and I didn’t feel that I needed to be a place that showed me that pride is about a social gathering for getting drunk AND having sex with each other. As angry as this makes me, it saddens me more than anything else because Atlanta is a very popular place for people of color because of its STRONG black presence. Nonetheless, we just squander our chances @ really showing the gay community that we can in fact do more than have sex with each other. The private barbecues and other social gatherings are all in good fun but I still wonder how is that they somehow turn out to be a sex fest? Even the Lennox Mall turns out to be this pre-club event where gay men go to check each other out AND be as GAY as they can. All this shows is that there is NO real connection AND instead of us embracing each other we are just breaking down a community that can get no worse. 

If only the ITLA’S theme (TIME TO ACT) were actually adhered to…I guess that is just wishful thinking on my part. Nonetheless, I know that 90% of the gay folks that leave this event won’t feel that they PROMOTED the issues of BLACK gay people of the world. I am SURE they know that they didn’t build relationships that would hold them for a lifetime. But then again I guess those things don’t matter because it isn’t like they will see any of their sex partners again…RIGHT? Therefore, my words are null in void AND I am wrong about all of this, maybe I am the one that is left of the middle and the behavior conducted here is VERY much on point. No matter because I am that rare homosexual, the type that seldom goes to gay bars OR clubs. I actually want some sort of future for all of us. How did this group of people that have NO real appreciation of how good they have it as GAY men AND women become the norm? Am I @ fault for NOT showing them otherwise? Whatever it is I know that we on BOTH sides of this behavior are SO caught up in doing things the way others think we should that it seems that we have forgotten that NO one but us can tell us how to be gay. We have all indeed LOST our way… 

BUT I DIGRESS…AS THE FUTURE GOES, MY ONLY HOPE IS THAT AS TIME GOES ON WE WILL LEARN THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING A MAN’S D!CK & CHAINING HIS SOUL. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO NOTE THAT BEING GAY IS NOT ABOUT THE COMPANY YOU KEEP IT IS ABOUT SECURITY, ACCEPTANCE & SELF-LOVE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE KISSES, TOUCHES & FEELINGS EXCHANGED WERE ALL GOING TO LEAD US SOMEWHERE INSTEAD OF US LOSING A BIT OURSELVES YEAR AFTER YEAR. THEY SAY THAT 13 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER, BUT I WILL HOLD OUT HOPE THAT AFTER THIS GAY PRIDE EVENT WE WILL PAVE THE ROAD & START THE BUILDING UP THE COMMUNITY SO THAT YEAR 13 CAN MARK THE POSITIVE WAY FORWARD. ISN’T IT TIME THAT WE STOP HANDING DOWN A WHOLE HEAP OF CONFUSION & NOTHINGNESS?

THREE WORDS THAT MAKE RELATIONSHIPS BETTER

Three-Word Phrases, can be tools to help develop every relationship.

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words. When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.


~ I understand you:
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships.


Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other “I miss you.” This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say “I miss you.”


This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication when you say “maybe you’re right” is the humility of admitting, “maybe I’m wrong”. Let’s face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying “maybe you’re right” can open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person.


Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.


Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.


A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating “you can count on me.”


If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase “I’ll be there.” Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us.



We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.



~ Go for it:
We are all unique individuals. Don’t try to get your friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only.



Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to “go for it.”


Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person’s deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: “I love you.” Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling is gone.

THE PROMISE

"The forgotten, we were taught to forget.

The honored, we were told to dishonor.

'Libation-less' Ancestors, seek what is rightfully theirs, what we wrongfully refuse them.

Children of the Maafa, yearning across yesterdays

And above the din are Promises made,

Sill unfulfilled, because we cannot hear them

Because we cannot remember we made them.

Solemn oaths - never to betray, never to sell out, never to work against our people, never to abandon our children.

Promises never to forget The Way, never to be ashamed of beliefs beaten from us.

We remember promises. And seeing our children we see our opportunity to fulfill a promise made."
