I think that Merriman has a grasp of the era and of the available knowledge. Phallic symbols are a modern concept.
I am not talking about back then though, I am talking about the divisions between men and women today and the parallel, and they ARE everywhere TODAY....
One clippet talking about when it BEGAN.... does not dismiss the fact of how it has spread and the churches of today cause a division between the creator and people..... an easy fix..... the same way porn does between men and women..... another easy fix.....

I think you are missing the point.......
40-50 years ago you could still have romance and chivelry, woman still blushed swooned and "stood by their man", despite what the womans libbers seemed to think, they had it made, win/win, except for the odd chauvinistic creep who treated his wife as a slave or chattel, which was not the majority, but in fact rare from what I can see....
This divide spread and influenced wives who were treated nothing less than a complete princess,start to think they were lacking, before this garbage she was a queen, which in turn made her treat her husband as the king he was..... beautiful, romantic, satisfying, the thing we are alllll missing today.

I am talking in metaphors here.
This is about the profaning of something pure, with a replacement.
Like porn saying "look at me!" instead of using true love for a MUCH deeper satisfaction, in the same way religion says "look at me!" instead of having your own relationship with the creator.
Now do you get my reference???

??????????? ever heard of a old school whore house(the worlds oldest profession)? anybody with enough coppers could be treated to a show rich or poor. you say every house has access to porn. but in reality every household leader/leadersallow or do not allow porn in the house. it is sad that most households do not take the steps to make sure porn is not seen within there household. whomever is against porn should take it upon themselves to eradicate it from there everyday lies, and not blame it on an industry that is based on debauchery. if you do blame the industry do you really think these company's are gonna stop because some thinks its inappropriate. no one has been able to stop porn since day one!
It has nothing to do with the industry, it is the attitude...
Access or not..... it could be on every street corner, and you could still find a loyal true love, someone who would feel defiled to look at anyone but his beloved wife.
I am talking about the loyalties being broken down here as is clear by the responses in this thread.
It is ACCEPTABLE to such a point now, that someone like ME, who wants something pure back, is some freak who the rest want to convert....
Nope, I want a pure love or nothing....

During the Middle Ages steeples evolved into more than ornamental expressions of pagan cultures gone by, they doubled as a place for church bells. By the 15th century most churches had steeples with bells, which were rung every hour and to proclaim religious ceremonies and holidays. The mother of the modern church, the Roman Catholic Church, adopted an Egyptian pagan obelisk and placed a cross on its peak. This imagery should send chills down the spines of churchgoers everywhere, as this is where most of today’s churches stem from through the Protestant Reformation.
I was reading the above article, and I was thinking about how pornography divides man and woman from a pure relationship these days, and causes disrespect towards each other instead of a pure loving relationship.
It is one of the best divide and concur methods of TPTB.

When you look at religion, the lies and baloney in there did the same thing to opur relationship with our creator.
Took this loving innocence and tarnished it with me/me lies, and leave us all empty etc.
I will add more once my fuming dies down a bit.... I am steaming mad! lol...edit on 1-12-2012 by mellisamouse because: (no reason given)
They are one of many fractitious sects of the Sacred Name Movement (SBM), which believes we have to call the Father Yahweh and the Son Yahshua. They're an offshoot of the adventist movement that believes in keeping the OT Torah and Feasts, that the NT was written in Hebrew rather than Greek, and avoiding "pagan" words to the point of saying Yahweh is an Elohim not a God (b/c "God" sounds like "Gad" in Hebrew, and that means luck!), and Jesus is at best a second-rate mistransliteration, at worst a word meaning "Heaing Zeus" (seriously!)
Some other unorthodox beliefs
* The Messiah is a created being, not truly divine
* Salvation is found only in calling God Yahweh, in addition to following the Torah and believing in His Son
* The Holy Spirit is Yahweh's powerful force, not a person
* The Messiah was impaled (not crucified, since a Cross looks like a Tau and Yahweh could never execute his son on a pagan instrument!) because He pronounced the Father's name
YRM is a breakaway from Yahweh's New Covenant Assembly/Yahweh's Assembly in Yahshua; the leader of YRM is the son of the leader of YAIY. Both came out of the aforementioned AoY. Other groups include Yahweh's Assembly in Messiah, PaleoTimes, and various Congregation of YHWH assemblies. The "House of Yahweh" is an extreme (even for these guys) offshoot of the SNM.
Most SNM groups have published their own "translations" of the BIble (usually taking the KJV, ASV, or Rotherham and changing it to fit their theology).
Anybody familiar with Yahweh's Restoration Cult?
Where do we go upon death?
After a person dies the Bible says that their spirit returns to Yahweh for keeping and their thoughts perish in the grave. The standard teaching of going to heaven after death is false.
Do you teach the false concept of the trinity or do you believe in the Unity?
We teach that Yahweh the Father is supreme. There are not three, coequal persons in a Triune Majesty.

i had more fun as a teen when there was less porn and more apprehension about sex. And to see a loss of cohesion between men and women one has to just look at the skyrocketing divorce rates today, and that basically comes down to us having so much choice and no willingness to really work on a relationship that we have become lazy about it and take the quickest and not necessarily the best way forword. I speak generally of course , there are many cases of violence in relationships etc which leave almost no choice to take.

Abrahamic religions are responsible for the schism between men and women.
