no...no...no...don't let them
do that to you...they're just
trying to control you by telling
you what's right and what's wrong...
no...absolutely not...you tell them:
'hold-on pal...not so fast... I decide
NOT you...I'm not a child so stop
treating me like one -TRUTH is
what I say it is - NOT you - I
can feel it in my bones...I just
KNOW IT...I know what makes
ME happy...what feels right for ME...
YOU live by YOUR rules and I'll
live by MINE...that's only fair...and
I expect you to respect / tolerate
MY truth and I'll do the same for
YOUR truth - that is...unless you
cross the line by trying to control me
again then you'll 'get what's comin' to
you'...well...what'd ya think??...
think it'll continue to work?...
has up till now...look...we've
got everything goin' for us...
our Master's really proud of us...
and He's the One who started it
all...remember?...it was that
deceptively innocent question
to Eve which led to the humans'
downfall from Grace and into
their inner turmoil of weaknesses
which made our job so much
easier - and now...seems like
they'll believe just about anything -
take your pick - anything that
'feels' like a good idea -as long
as it has to do with their 'pride
and pleasure' we can get 'em
yeah...have at it...as our mantra
goes - say it all together now....
'me...me...me'...yeah...'what you
want...when you want...how you
want...as often as you want'...
and...remember too...what our
Enemy's Offering...a CROSS??
are you kidding me?? yeah...and
wait!!...I know what you are going
to say...POWER!!...yeah I understand
the ETERNAL SACRIFICE OF LOVE...
and all that it brings to the table...but not
all of THEM do!!...WE have the 'here
and now'...all those 'tangible goodies' -
you know...that delicious 'self-centered'
stuff from the 'world / flesh / and we
demons who are trained by our Master
to gain more victories...but if our Enemy
starts to get the upper hand...BOOM!...
we tell the 'BIG ONE'...you know...like...
how can you really trust HIM?? look
what He did to His Only Son...you think
He'll treat you any different??...didn't He
say that you have to pick up your own
cross to follow Him??'...and even though
They were of One Mind and Heart I still
think that'll fool a lot of them...but if that
doesn't work there's always the ol' 'blame
game' like...'why's He doin' this to me?'...
or 'how come I always get the short end of
the stick and they don't?...and the best one...
'yeah...right...He loves me...after all that crap
that I've been through??...THEN...we just
continue our strategy of goin' after their kiddies
to get a big jump in the game so by the time
their indoctrination is done...well...THEY'RE done!...
one last thing...the Churches...well...some of
them are a problem but we've been working on
that...what's that called again?? oh yeah...'modernism'
you know...gettin' 'up to date' / 'with it'...actually
it's just 'fitting-in' with the world and not so
'stuck-in-a-rut' from those 'medieval dark days'
and no one wants to have THAT reputation...
well...we've got a 'bright' future set-up for them -
even though it's a really 'dark one'...good one there...
anyway...keep up the good job...and remember...
when our Enemy's followers say: 'more of THEE
and less of me'...WE JUST LET IT RIP....NOOOO
IT'S ME...ME...MEEEE...yeah...THEY'LL get
many but...we can get MORE...so
LET'S GET TO WORK!!
