NO KINGDOM OF MAN IS A "CITY SHINING ON A HILL"

NO kingdom of man is a 
"City shining on a hill"!!
INSTEAD, THAT MEANS JEHOVAH'S TRUTH - 
From the source of it - HIM - still.

Learn God's words, put them FIRST
Not how they've been hijacked by men
And remember this world's politics
ARE NOT THE SOURCE OF GOD'S KINGDOM. **

* [THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY POLITICS OR NATION OF THIS WORLD, despite how any human leaders have borrowed and mis-applied the metaphors herein]:

“YOU are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when situated upon a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under the measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines upon all those in the house.  Likewise let YOUR light shine before men, that they may see YOUR fine works and give glory to YOUR Father who is in the heavens." (Matthew 5:14-16)
** John 18:36

IF THE CONCERTS OF U2 are NOW A "CHURCH", I'M SORRY I LAST WENT !!!

If U2 concerts are now a "church",
I'm sorry I last went!
I could NEVER SUPPORT
The SPIRITUAL MISLEADING
OF MANY, TO THEIR DEATH.

In CONTRAST, FALSE
JEZEBELLIAN PRIESTESSES
AND PRIESTS CHEER WHAT YOU DO:
NAME-DROP "JESUS", "KINGDOM" and "GOD",
BUT FIGHT JAH'S WORDS OF TRUTH!
 FALSE "CHRISTIANS" THEY ARE
AND FALSE THEY'LL PROBABLY STAY 
'TIL JAH WIPES THEM OUT, 
BY ARMAGEDDON DAY.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
GOD HATES THEIR IDOLATRY
AND THEIR ADDICTION TO LIES,
LOVED MORE THAN ANYTHING.

IF SUCH CONCERTS ARE "CHURCH"
JAH SAYS FROM THEM FLEE *
HE NEVER BLESSES SPIRITUAL FALSENESS
OR IDOLATRY.

ANY CHURCH DEFIANT OF JAH'S
IS A CHURCH OF SATAN
AND JEHOVAH'S ALREADY CONDEMNED SUCH
ARMAGEDDON'S NOT WAITING.

THERE IS NO SPIRITUAL SHARING
BETWEEN TRUE WORSHIPERS and FALSE
EXCEPT that those TRUE TO JAH
WARN FALSE WORSHIPERS to "GET OUT"*

"GET OUT" * FROM SATAN'S CHURCHES
OF "BABYLON THE GREAT"
LEAVE BEHIND ALL IDOLATRIES  and LIES
BEFORE ITS SOON TOO LATE.

*REVELATION - DON'T "LET IT GO"
READ IT, INSTEAD, SO YOU KNOW
WHAT JEHOVAH SAYS, TO STAY ALIVE
OBEY REVELATION 18, VERSES 4 and 5.

The god of the "ALTER TO AN UNKNOWN gOD" **
BECOMES A gOD of DEATH
WHEN PEOPLE KEEP REFUSING JAH'S TRUTH,
Saying they've not found what they're looking for yet.

God FINDS THEM "INEXCUSABLE",***
WHEN THEY KEEP NOT WANTING TO HEAR -
OR, WORSE, IF THEY LEAD OTHERS THIS WAY,
ESPECIALLY WITH ARMAGEDDON NEAR.

DISMISSING JEHOVAH HELPS NO ONE
AND DIVERTS FROM THE WAY OF LIFE
AWAY FROM TRUTH, LIGHT and HOPE
IN THIS SATAN-RUN WORLD TONIGHT

SO WHY PLAY INTO THE DEVILS HANDS
TO REINFORCE TO MANY
TO SERVE HIS PLANS
OR TRADE GOD FOR POLITICS
OR WORSHIP OF MAN
THIS IS MUCH MORE LIFE-OR-DEATH
THAN BEING A BAND'S FAN. 


**ACTS 17:23

***ROMANS 1:18-20

STILL MISLEADING PEOPLE TO ETERNAL DEATH: YOUR CHURCH IS NOT OF JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, JESUS, OR THE TRUE (HEAVEN-BASED) KINGDOM COME FOR EARTH!!!

Long ago lived bad men
A warning for today
Jah said go to Jerusalem
But they led people astray

Don't put in the effort, folks
Come "worship"an easier way
We've got golden calves at Bethel and Dan
And cool music all day.

Yeah we know its defiant
Of worship on God's terms
But watch us make unauthorized
Sacrificial smoke burn.

Jehovah, Jehovah, who is He?
Just go for a quick "fix"
Faithlessness is in this "church" is fine
And any disobedience.

Yeah, yeah - raise your hands in the air, like you just don't care -  
When its clear you DON'T
Whatever you want and whatever you see
Is your "worship's" sum total.

Pick a god, any god
Along with any lies
And its "good enough", to oneself
And how MOST are satisfied.

The grand delusion is a gas
For those who don't give a damn
How Satan and his demons laugh
As many drift to Armageddon (death).


II.

Yeah, "A church without walls"
One "not built by hands" 
These teachings ARE NOT OF THE BIBLE,
BUT AT BEST, CONFUSION.

It's Jehovah that can't be contained
The heavens are His dwelling place
But His spirit goes where His people meet
Like in the upper room at Pentecost, 33CE

Now a lot of people need a lot of rooms
8 million souls, around the world
Safe places to worship, pray,
Meet to preach, and do good today.

But whether brick building or a tent
The focus is on Jah and His plans
So even when the evil have stolen God's Halls
It didn't ruin TRUE religion at all.
(It just made it all the more strong,
Proving Jah right,
Proving FALSE religions wrong)

Yes, there are those, with Satan, who even hate
That Jehovah's people have places to pray,
To build one another up with truth and love,
And sing praises to Jah above.

While at the same time, the hypocrites
Of thousands of FALSE religions,
Preach whatever LIES they want,
For money, fame, or "convenience." 

III.

So some billionaires, and people of "power"
Want religions - false AND TRUE -
Gone this hour
Wanted "gender issues" out of the way
To separate the many from God today
WANT ALL RELIGION MADE INANE-DEAD
SO THEY CAN RULE
AS gODS INSTEAD
DECEIVED THAT MONEY
Gives them that right
TO BE HIGHER THAN JAH
To "save the world" from its plight

Yet, its not "saving", but killing they do
As they lead many to be godless fools
Pushing LIES like, "there's no absolute truth"-
NOT EVEN JAH'S OWN WORDS,
By which one should be ruled.

See, men want to BE your gods,
Want you to reject 
What Jah has taught
They "keep" pieces, though, 
That support their "plans"
As they act as human tools
For their god Satan.









 







 

[Added-on-to, Again] AND I LOOKED, AND I SAW THAT IT GOT THIS BAD. Re: EXTREME BLASPHEMY BY a FALSE RELIGIOUS CONGLOMERATION UTILIZING A "U2 YAHWEH" VIDEO and Other U2 Show Clips, etc.

My comment just made, under a blasphemous video, which is entitled, 

"U2 - Yahweh (Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Baha'i, Seeker, Skeptic.. HUMAN!)" -

THE PREMISE OF THIS [VIDEO] IS EXCEEDINGLY BLASPHEMOUS, THE WORST I'VE SEEN YET - AS IT IS 100% WRONG, ANTI-SCRIPTURAL, DEFILING, and PROFANING OF JEHOVAH/ YAHWEH - THE CREATOR, UNIVERSAL SOVEREIGN, and MOST HIGH GOD OVER ALL THE EARTH - THE ONLY TRUE GOD. I see that this is sub-lined with a credit to a what has been long-time FALSE PREACHING U2-IDOLATER/ FALSE "Christian" website as well!!!! JEHOVAH/ YAHWEH WHOSE PERSONAL HOLY NAME THIS IS, DOES NOT WANT HIS NAME FILTHIFIED BY YOUR FALSE gODS and FALSE RELIGIONS - YOUR DOCTRINES OF SPIRITISTIC LIES, YOUR DERISION and SLANDERING TOWARDS HIS OWN SCRIPTURAL WORDS, and YOUR GOD-DEFIANT, EVIL, and SATAN-SERVING PRACTICES WHICH HAVE BEEN DESTROYING HUMAN SOCIETY, PERSECUTING THOSE TRUE TO GOD, PROMOTING IDOLATRY, and BLASPHEMING JEHOVAH/YAHWEH FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, WHOSE HOLY NAME THIS IS - IT IS NOT YOURS TO CHEAPEN and BLASPHEME - and HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR FALSE RELIGIONS OF DEFIANCE AGAINST HIM, YOUR GOD-CONDEMNED FALSE RELIGIONS OF SATAN'S GLOBAL EMPIRE OF THEM, "BABYLON THE GREAT". JEHOVAH/ YAHWEH IS NOT WITH YOUR UNHOLY ASSEMBLY/CONGLOMERATION. JEHOVAH/YAHWEH WILL NEVER BLESS IT. OPPOSITELY, THIS ENRAGES JEHOVAH/YAHWEH AND HIS SPIRIT. YOU HAVE HIJACKED and BLASPHEMED THE HOLY NAME OF GOD, and HAVE CITED, EXTORTED, IDOLIZED, and COPIED A BAD EXAMPLE OF A SIMILARLY GUILTY ROCK BAND IN DOING SO. THIS MASSIVE, HIDEOUS, CONSCIENCELESS, EVIL, and BASICALLY INEXCUSABLE MONSTROSITY OF BLASPHEMY IS AN ABOMINATION TO JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, TO JESUS CHRIST, and TO ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE GOD BEHIND THIS NAME and HIS OWN GIVEN SCRIPTURAL TRUTH - INCLUDING HIS OWN STRONG LAWS REGARDING THE USAGE OF HIS OWN HOLY NAME. AS JEHOVAH/ YAHWEH HAS REPEATEDLY WARNED THROUGHOUT HIS WORDS, BLASPHEMY OF HIS NAME IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH FROM HIM, SOON, BY HIS OWN ARMAGEDDON DAY. THE TOP REASON JEHOVAH/YAHWEH IS BRINGING ARMAGEDDON IS TO CLEAR THE EARTH OF BLASPHEMY TOWARDS HIM. THAT DAY IS SOON NOW. BEFORE BRINGING ARMAGEDDON ITSELF, HOWEVER, THIS ONLY TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, PROMISES THAT HE HIMSELF WILL INTERVENE IN HUMAN AFFAIRS, TO DESTROY ALL OF THIS WORLD'S SPIRITISM-TEACHING, BLASPHEMOUS, WHOLE-SCRIPTURAL TRUTH-DISREGARDING, IDOLATRY-PRACTICING, INJUSTICE-PRACTICING, AND BLOOD-GUILT SHARING FALSE RELIGIONS (SEE REVELATION 18:23,24) - WHO, ALSO AS PROPHESIED, CAN READILY BE SEEN ADULTERIZING THEMSELVES TO "THE KINGS OF THE EARTH" - SERVING THEM, NOT GOD; and RENDERING SACRED SERVICE TO "THE CREATION", RATHER THAN TO THE ONE WHO CREATED. YOU MAY HAVE YOUR LOVELY CHURCHES, LANDSCAPES, AND PLEASANT SOCIALIZATIONS WITHIN THEM; BUT THEY ARE EMPTY AND DEVOID OF THE ONLY TRUE and LIVING GOD, HIS VITAL WHOLE-SCRIPTURAL TRUTH, HIS SPIRIT, and ANYONE TRUE TO HIM. ALL FALSE RELIGIONS ARE DOOMED, AS JEHOVAH/YAHWEH HAS CONDEMNED THEM TO PERMANENT DESTRUCTION, and HE HIMSELF WILL INTERVENE TO CARRY THAT OUT SOON (REVELATION chapters 17 and 18). HE WILL FOLLOW THAT BY BRINGING HIS PROMISED MIGHTY ARMAGEDDON DAY ONTO THIS EARTH - TO RID IT OF ALL REMAINING VESTIGES OF EVIL, and STUBBORN-THOUGH-WARNED EVIL PEOPLE. THEN - and only then - WILL THERE BE TRUE PEACE AND SECURITY ON THIS EARTH. IN CONTRAST, THAT WILL NEVER BE ATTAINED BY SERVICE TO SATAN, ANTI-SCRIPTURAL SPIRITUAL LIES, IDOLATRY, BLASPHEMY OF JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, FALSE RELIGIOUS ECUMENALISM, FALSE-PRIDE, HATE FOR THE WHOLE OF GOD'S WORDS - AND PERSECUTION OF TRUE SCRIPTURAL HUMAN MESSENGERS OF THEM, IDOLATRY OF THE UNITED NATIONS OR OTHER SOCIAL "JUSTICE"-POLITICAL-ECONOMIC-PHILANTHROPIC-FALSE RELIGIO-CONGLOMERATIONS OF MEN, OR ANYONE'S MILITARY FORCES. ALSO, ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT ALSO THE ONES WHO MAKE YOURSELVES PART OF THE SO-CALLED "WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES", WHICH DARES TO PRAY TO GOD OVER THE "SUCCESS" OF THE RISING IDOL gOD (WITH ITS OWN BLASPHEMOUS DECLARATION OF BEING THE HIGHEST GOVERNING ENTITY OVER THE AFFAIRS OF MANKIND), of the UNITED NATIONS EACH FALL, BEFORE ITS GENERAL ASSEMBLY?? CLEARLY, NONE OF THESE RELIGIONS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH JEHOVAH/ YAHWEH, BUT ARE MERELY STEALING AND BLASPHEMING HIS NAME.  AS WARNED IN THE VERY WORDS OF THE GOD OF THIS NAME, THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE PERSONS STILL CLINGING TO THESE SPIRITISTIC, BLASPHEMOUS, and GUILTY-BEFORE-GOD - FOR COMMUNITY GUILT FOR CRIMES AGAINST GOD and HUMANITY - IS TO LEAVE/ FLEE FROM / "GET OUT OF" THESE SATAN-LED/BACKED/MANIPULATED/CONTROLLED-BY-LIES FALSE RELIGIONS OF "BABYLON THE GREAT" AT ONCE, BECAUSE THEIR SINS AND THEIR BLASPHEMIES ARE SHOUTING, AMPLIFIED, EN MASSE, UP TO THE HEAVENS, UP TO THE EARS AND EYES OF JEHOVAH/YAHWEH HIMSELF, AND HE IS REALLY, REALLY HATING IT. (REVELATION 18:4,5 - NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) IF ANYONE AMONG YOU AT ALL IS ACTUALLY SINCERE IN THEIR INTEREST TO HONOR and WORSHIP THE GOD OF THIS NAME - JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, THE ONLY TRUE GOD - THEN YOU MUST LEAVE SUCH BLASPHEMY, IDOLATRY, and FALSE RELIGIONS BEHIND. YOU MUST "REPENT AND TURN AROUND" FROM THESE SINS. (ACTS 3:19). YOU MUST TURN TO ACTUALLY LEARNING THE WHOLE-SCRIPTURAL TRUTH ABOUT THE GOD BEHIND THIS NAME, and ALSO HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. (John 17:3). YOU MUST TURN TO WORSHIPING THIS GOD, JEHOVAH/YAHWEH ON HIS OWN SCRIPTURAL TERMS - "WITH SPIRIT AND TRUTH." (John 4:24) YOU MUST OBEY HIS COMMANDS and PRINCIPLES, and KEEP ON DOING SO. YOU MUST DEVELOP A GOOD PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, and CONTINUE WITH THAT LOYALTY TO THIS GOD. THEN and ONLY THEN WILL YOU HAVE A CLEAN STANDING WITH THIS GOD, SO THAT WHEN YOU CALL UPON HIS NAME - TO PRAY TO HIM OR PRAISE HIM - OR CALL UPON HIS NAME - TO SAVE YOUR LIFE (JOEL 2:32), WHEN ARMAGEDDON SOON IS HERE - HE WILL LISTEN (instead of regarding such as blasphemy). 

"I AM JEHOVAH [YAHWEH]. THAT IS MY NAME; AND TO *NO ONE ELSE* SHALL I GIVE MY OWN GLORY, NEITHER MY PRAISE TO GRAVEN IMAGES." (ISAIAH 42:8)

[I added on a second comment to this video also]:

And likewise, Psalms 40 and 116 - words of Jehovah/Yahweh, THE ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:3) - have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FALSE gODS and FALSE RELIGIONS of "BABYLON THE GREAT." (Revelation chapters 17 and 18). You have stolen them from their Divine context, and are exploiting, misrepresenting, and blaspheming them too; as you are also grossly violating and blaspheming the holy personal name belonging only to Jehovah/Yahweh God Almighty, Creator and Universal Sovereign. Jehovah/Yahweh's destruction of "Babylon the Great", to be followed by Armageddon itself, is soon.

[I've added on and edited a third comment under that video also]:

Bono, before the millions, never properly quoted the Psalm 116 piece he did - he quoted from an inferior translation. THAT PSALM, as written, CLEARLY PERTAINS TO ONE AND ONLY ONE GOD - and that One God is Jehovah/Yahweh ALONE; as His DISTINCT HOLY NAME, belonging to HIM ALONE, is what was actually used in these verses (before wicked and foolish men removed God's holy name [the Tetragrammaton] in these spots, and stuck in the TITLE of "God" instead). 

THIS IS HOW THOSE VERSES REALLY GO: 

"What shall I repay to JEHOVAH 
For all his benefits to me? 
The cup of grand salvation I shall take up, 
And on the name of JEHOVAH I shall call. 
My vows I shall pay to JEHOVAH, 
Yes, in front of all his people." 
(Psalm 116:12-14) 

Likewise, Deuteronomy 6:4 is a grossly negligent and extortive MISTRANSLATION and MISQUOTE also. Again, with the OMISSION of God's DISTINCTIVE, personal holy name, Jehovah/Yahweh - and the illicit replacement of the Creator's name with a mere and vague TITLE of "Lord" - the ENTIRE MEANING of the verse is LOST, and made open to EXPLOITATION (with "lord" applicable to meaning any number of false gods or even human beings). INSTEAD, with the transliteration of the Tetragrammaton (representing God's holy name) restored to its proper place, Deuteronomy 6:4 reads like so: 

“Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." 

Here Jehovah/Yahweh is directly telling mankind that NO other god, by any other name, is who HE ALONE IS (the CREATOR and UNIVERSAL SOVEREIGN). 

"That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, 
YOU ALONE ARE THE MOST HIGH over all the earth." (Psalm 83:18) 

Finally, the "definition" of God's holy, personal name Jehovah/Yahweh, as given in this video, is likewise inaccurate and diminishing of the Person of Jehovah/Yahweh God Almighty. INSTEAD, His name means, 

"HE CAUSES TO BECOME".

Here's to Hoping You Re-do/CHANGE The Currently Blasphemous "U2 Yahweh" Videos (into NOT Being Blasphemous)

Please forgive me for not emphasizing this before: In ITSELF, the "Yahweh" song is not so bad. It's THE INFAMOUS BLASPHEMOUS CARTOON VIDEO - and the same used idol and spiritistic/ false religious images in that video (and also some fan-made ones, with the crosses/crucifixtions, false churches, etc.); and also the SETTINGS (concerts that also included some unholy song performances and speeches; [and also the unfitting Vatican performance by Edge]) that have made it blasphemous.

The phrase, "stranded in some skin and bones" - although reminiscent of a line in Job - would be more "safe"/ less given to death-wielding false religious (anti-scriptural and spiritistic) beliefs, if it was tweeked to something different. People do NOT have souls - spirit beings of themselves within their bodies - that live on, despite the death of the body. Instead, people ARE "souls": Everything about an individual that makes them who they uniquely are - their living body; their mind; heart; personality; driving forces; spirtuality; conscience; thoughts; memories; likes; dislikes; passions; hopes; plans; tastes; loves; hates; emotions; outlooks; quirks; ways of walking, talking, expressing themselves; skills; talents - everything about themselves that makes them the unique being that they are - THAT is what the "SOUL" of a person IS.

And still today, so sadly, "souls" are subject to death. At that time, no wisp/ghost/spirit copy of a person leaves their body, to go on living. Instead, their life-force goes back to Jehovah; and He keeps EVERYTHING about individuals SAFE in His PERFECT MEMORY; so that when it is time for the RESURRECTION; He can absolutely, PERFECTLY BRING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE - as the EXACT PERSON, through and through, that they were when they died. That is how COMPLETELY Jehovah knows and values individuals - He even KNOWS our hearts, thoughts, minds, voices, ways of laughing, etc., etc......

THAT WILL BE A GREAT DAY. It will come AFTER the END of this largely STUPID and WICKED world system. After Jehovah soon intervenes in human affairs, to rid the earth of all of the FALSE religions of Satan's world empire of them, "Babylon the Great" (Revelation chapters 17 and 18); He will then bring. His Armageddon Day, to rid the earth of all blasphemy, last vestiges of evil, and stubbornly evil persons. AFTER THAT, He will extend His TRUE, Heaven-based Kingdom of God down onto this earth, as its ONLY Ruling entity. (Jesus Christ himself is Jehovah's perfect, appointed King of that Kingdom.) The earth will begin transforming back into a PARADISE. That's when the RESURRECTION back to life, of dead loved ones will occur. Jehovah will bring them back to life as THE WHOLE-SOUL THEY WERE (just without any terrible, painful, or disturbing memories). 

(Isaiah 65:17) - "For here I am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart."

There will be NO MORE wars, crime, violence, pain, tears of pain, grief, hunger, poverty, sickness, or hurtful injustices then. People will grow back to perfection, "...Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:3,4)


Before "the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah" comes though, most people on earth need to make vital changes. There simply can't be any works of ongoing blasphemy. It just won't pass.


YES, people DO need to be found obeying Jehovah/Yahweh's scriptural commands, principles, and terms of worship. In that way, when they CALL UPON THE NAME OF JEHOVAH [YAHWEH], as God says is necessary (Joel 2:32)* , they can do so "WITH SPIRIT and TRUTH" (John 4:24), as is also necessary. In obeying Jehovah/Yahweh, by proclaiming His holy name to the world; people ALSO NEED TO PROCLAIM /PREACH/TEACH THE SCRIPTURAL-SPIRITUAL TRUTH ABOUT THE GOD BEHIND THAT HOLY NAME. To preach/ teach/ associate/ demonstrate/ display/ recommend anything spiritually false or evil along with proclaiming His name PROFANES/ BLASPHEMES His most holy name. Who would want to go that route - of being violating and hurtful towards the Heavenly Father. Since God will be punishing stubborn blasphemers, by Armageddon Day too, it would certainly be foolish for anyone to persist in any manner of blaspheming Jehovah/Yahweh (or Jesus Christ) too, wouldn't it?

Why not, instead, go for the pure joy of praising Jehovah's holy name in song - with NOTHING spiritually false or blasphemous attached to it? That's what King  David of the Psalms experienced!

I saw a fan video that started out showing beautiful ocean images/footage, as this song began; but then later, it switched to the usual blasphemy cartoon. So sad, so tragic,

To want to sing and praise Jehovah/Yahweh's name; "make melody" to it; do so, with heart and soul, in front of all the nations; and make His holy name known, throughout the earth (so that others will praise Him too); are all great thoughts/ ideas right out of the inspired Psalms.

How-ev-er.....For anyone to gather [MANY, even millions] of people 'round, to performances, videos, and movie parts, etc; featuring the most holy, personal name of God Almighty - but then NOT also PROCLAIM/ TEACH/ PREACH the scriptural TRUTH about the God behind that name; and worse yet, associate it with large, lit up images and mass-media-ed videos streaming one pagan/spiritistic/ false religious/idolatrous image after another (I counted at least 28 different ones, in the blasphemy cartoon); and to let those videos run on and on, on the world's biggest video-sharing sites is LIKE GATHERING PEOPLE ONTO THE PROVERBIAL "TITANIC".....only, THAT SHIP'S NAME IS SOMETHING MORE LIKE, "THE UN-SAINTLY SHIP BLASPHEMY", and the ICEBERG it is still headed for, straight-on; is where the whole wicked world in general (except those who listen to Jehovah) is headed for - the "iceberg", so to say, of Jehovah's Armageddon Day; with people "partying", and not caring enough to pay attention to what is most important, the whole way there.....

So, yes, yes - quickly fix things - ERASE the blasphemy, swab the decks, and steer the ship!!

Sharing, Shouting - Re: The Human Rights-Violating Russian Ban on Jehovah's Witnesses

No apathy, no silence,
No lack of heart
Shout the truth for those oppressed
Loudly, near and far

At the same time, realize
The outcome is known
Soon Jah will cause everyone
To reap what they have sown.

A Response I Wrote Today, Under One of Your "U2 Yahweh" Videos that Shouldn't Be Up - Re: "Take this Heart, and Make it Break"

That's true, ______, on account of that a lot of people don't get out of a God-defiant, insolent, anti-grateful, spiritually FALSE-PRIDED (based on spiritual lies) and/or wicked mode until they "hit bottom" - end up with their heart broken, or with other huge, agonizing problems. 

HOWEVER, as the saying goes, it is not necessary to walk through mud, to know that its dirty....The sooner and the better people LISTEN to Jehovah/Yahweh - and take His scriptural teachings to heart, putting them into practice - the less likely they are to break their own hearts with poor, ungodly, and trouble-compounding decisions. 

This wicked world breaks everyone's hearts too much as it is - people can avoid adding their own pain to themselves by actually looking to the spirit-backed scriptural words of Jehovah/Yahweh; and then "taking the path of most resistance", yes, to actually follow them. 

In a spiritually honest-hearted wake of the aftermath of a broken heart, however, please understand that yes, the Only TRUE and LIVING God, Jehovah/Yahweh - our heavenly Father - IS REALLY THERE, TO REACH OUT TO - for true CONSOLATION, STEADYING, HOPE, STRENGTH, REASSURANCE, and DIVINE GUIDANCE and DIRECTION. People can honest-heartedly and humbly pray to Jehovah/Yahweh, in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, for help. Then people should absolutely open up a Bible and open up their hearts and minds - as to how Jehovah/Yahweh, the Creator and Universal Sovereign, does indeed largely answer people, through the power and truth of His own words. (John 17:17)

Don't Ask Why ~

'Cause once I got here, I asked myself, "What am I doing here?"

I have NOT lost my conscience, faith, loyalty, or mind - but I'm glad I went. It seemed like the right thing for me to do at this time. I would like to think that I was not drawn, like a moth to a flame, by way of a favorite song I like to listen to, frequently, on repeat [stop smirking], and dance to. (I have done this for years. It energizes me. I can drive my car for a good long while, energized and motivated by this song.) I know that the honest truth was that I was determined to dance to that song, live, because it would be an exquisite experience, live. At first, I was NOT going to go, at all; but, as the concert drew closer, I thought, skip that! I'm GOING to go, and I'm GOING to dance to that song, live. I had never been in that stadium yet. I purchased a seat at the top of the stadium, figuring that there ought to be some space up there, in back of the seating/ next to the exit; to get out of my seat and dance semi-freely. I also thought, that when it came time where U2 would likely again do their FALSE "church" bit, or the "Exit" performance, it would be convenient for me to cut out of there and get some wine.

My plan B was to try to get to the back of the floor area, where there would be lots of open space, and dance freely there.

Then what happened. A ticket drop for GA/floor tickets - in the middle of the night before the show. Now, I could have my space and dance.

I didn't bother going too early (not that I could have managed it at this time anyway - this was pretty much a last minute, spontaneous move)....

I had fought "the good fight" previously - doing the marathon work of lining up very early, and bringing home-made signs to the front rail of the B-stage with me....I slept on cardboard and a bad, cheap air mattress, overnight, on pavement, under the open sky; in Hawaii. I similarly slept overnight, on a better air mattress, in a stadium parking lot in Mexico; giving my jacket away to whoever wanted it - as the rising sun, from behind a mountain, quickly changed the temperature from jacket-cold to hot.

I have stood for many hours, in the rain - and even snow. I could have been trampled in Berlin; and I came close to having my strained arm broken, by the force of a crowd behind me, in the front of a gate, in Mexico. I have MANY stories; some wonderful,amazing, and/or funny; and some not.

The lowest GA line number I ever had written on my wrist was number 9, in Milwaukee.

But this time, my enthusiasm for this band was down. I had refused to go to any shows - even as an observer with painted pillowcase musical/poetic/spiritual/scriptural "protest" signs - last tour. There were several very spiritually-disturbing and spiritually destructive elements to that last tour (and actually, from the Vertigo tour on).

I had basically left U2 - for some things earlier this tour also. As far as spiritual responsibility to God, Christ, and mankind, there are still important and vital changes to make, regarding what is (and has been) mass media-ed to the world; and what U2 is still wrongly supporting.

However, for a long time, I have admired how they have boldly, zealously, and creatively conveyed some truths; have stood up for some ways of godly righteousness; and have inspired some positivity over things that are right and true, and which are of Justice and conscience (even with humor), and even with at least allusions to at least bits of Scriptures. (Misgivings can be corrected, with an honest-hearted search for whole-scriptural truth; but it is so important that this happen, immediately; as it means near-future life or death from God - not just for oneself; but for everyone who listens to you.)

I believe this was my 19th show. I've been to shows in 5 different countries, and in various states of the U.S. 

I didn't "discover" U2 until later in life; but I loved the song "Pride", on my cassette of it. Finally, in May, 2001, I brought my daughter to our first U2 concert. It was going to be either myself or my husband that was going to "bring my daughter" to this concert. I was pretty busy, but thought I would anyway - I had previously entertained some hopes of going, but didn't see how it would be possible... I was excited, to be able to hear "Pride", live, and sing along. I have a love for righteous and moving lyrics, anthems, and music - and especially songs with some scriptural truth in them. I have been that way since a child. (Also, as early as grade school, I enjoyed digging into meaningful song lyrics and discussing them. In junior high, one of my favorite things was an entire class on such - and writing about these things. And in college, I wrote a 19-page report on some Yeats poem about joy and A GRAPE. It was quite the intense exercise. I am not wildly meandering now - this is going to add up.)

Little did I know that my life was about to be altered. What a ridiculous thing that seems like it should be - some overly emotional reaction; or being smitten with common fervent fandom, idolatry of a band or singer, or some crush (in the way that I used to have a strong crush on [say it] Donny Osmond, as a teenager). But this was NONE of that. I was all "grown up"; and by then, well-grounded in scriptural-spiritual truth from Jehovah, the Only True God; and had a strong relationship with Him (I still do. More so.) I had already gone through all the devastating disillusionment of the FALSE religion I was born into; the hard and sometimes painful search for truth-only-truth; years of intense Bible study, wanting every teaching PROVEN, from God's own words; and pains of having my faith attacked and persecuted. I had already been "fighting the good fight"; and already had my faith tested by then. And where I tested-out to be was squarely and solidly with Jehovah God, His Son, His spirit, and His proven-to-me scriptural truth. I had already been dedicated and baptized (for nearly 15 years) - and a mother of 3, by the time I went to that first concert.

It was May 1, 2001. U2 had to do something like fly around a tornado; while on the ground, my daughter and I had to drive through torrential rain - first to chase down our mal-"delivered" tickets being held captive at a Fed-Ex far across town; and then way back across town again, to get to then venue on time. On the last part of that journey, the sun came out, and everything was beautiful.

I said it before, but I will say it again - I had little idea about how this was going to change my life; but I was actually primed, in tune, and ready for the challenge.

BACK THEN, THAT NIGHT, during, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", I LISTENED to all of the people singing that; and I LOOKED all around, at the mass of people singing that - and, as I wrote long ago now, I thought of how Jesus said, 

"Lift up YOUR eyes and view the fields, that they are white for harvesting" (John 4:35)

I was filled with awe and inspiration to the point where I could as if feel it in the flesh of my face, like I do now, thinking back on it. Then you, Bono and U2, sang the Hallelujah chorus at the end of "Walk On" - and YOU BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER.

I felt like I had received an assignment from Jehovah. I was overwhelmed - it was wonderful. There was a distinct need for a large field of lost, lyric-relating, music-loving sheep to be offered life-helping and life-saving scriptural-spiritual truth. 

I saw the field, I saw the people, I saw the opportunity. I didn't yet understand what I was going to be able to do about it - except for talking to U2 fan individuals I would run into, bit by bit....But I felt I should specifically prepare anyway - so I took all of the U2 album cassettes I could find along on a long family road trip through into Yellowstone National Park? Wyoming? [I can't remember where right now; but it was a long trip, and involved passing through a painted desert, as I recall.] Anyways, that's when I got all those songs into my head, and began being able to speak the "language" of those songs to others. I was ready to preach to "U2 people." That was the summer of 2001.

Then came 9-11-2001 - and a greater need for comfort, hope, truth, and reassurance - for everyone.

Soon after, I discovered the existence of this new venture called "Zootopia", the fansite section of U2's webpage. I wrote my first post on November 2 (?), 2001. This "eagle" landed. 

For the next 3 years solid, as the writing and subject matter intensified, this became a VERY huge part of my life. At the same time, Satan thought he'd throw some persecution at me, and burning missiles at my heart [from all directions]. I endured quite a bit, and sacrificed quite a lot - to be able to keep carrying on with that writing. I continued writing on that site even though I had also gone back to school, and was working part time besides that. Sometimes, I wrote straight on through the night! And thing was in the time of now archaic, sometimes frustrating dial-up internet service too! But I new that to put in this effort (despite the hardships) was the RIGHT thing to do; and so I was happy for the God-given privilege of getting to engage in it. 

It was stunning - to preach, teach, and reach in that special niche, that microcosm. Because I had a good handle on the Scriptures, I knew that by the people's various reactions - including the shockingly insolent, slanderous, blasphemous, unjust, unreasonable, hateful, vicious, deceitful, devious, demonic/evil, false-prided, hounding, abusive, teamed-up/gang bullying, hypocritical, apostate, conscienceless, and mocking ones - I knew I was watching prophecies being fulfilled right before my eyes - about how people's attitudes, speech and behaviors would be, especially in the last of the last of the pre-Armageddon days.

I was not the popular voice of the majority though, was I - but indeed representative of the minority on this earth (and Jehovah, and His scriptural truth), wasn't I.

I was unjustly banned, censored/banned (with the censoring being equivalent to being banned - to those rising above the inane, to speak unwanted truth), and censored (posts [of much work] deleted) - due to the servicing of the complaints of word-of-God-hating, fervent and idolatrous, false religious and/or atheistic and/or spiritistic [mostly] U2 fans (and so-called "moderators") on at least 13 different music message boards/ sites dominated by such fans and administration. (Including U2's own fansite.) Prophecy fulfilled all the more - starkly, and internationally.

I found other places to write - and so I've been doing so for the past 16 years. Some of the previously-closed doors reopened too - in at least some places. I don't even bother with the rest. My hands are clean; and the dust has been knocked off my shoes. There are others to preach Jehovah's scriptural truth to, who are honest-heartedly searching for it - and who would follow it, if they only knew about it. And time is running out. But, hate for the Creator and Universal Sovereign Jehovah and His own scriptural truth, Jesus Christ, and loyal and true human messengers of Jehovah's own scriptural truth has certainly boomed - earth-wide, just as Jesus foretold would occur. The people fulfilling these prophecies often are in total denial of the writings of God Himself that have them pegged, such as in Romans 1:18-32; Jude; 2Timothy 3:1-9,13; 2Peter 3:1-5; many of the Psalms, regarding wicked people; and more. And a lot of others don't even care at all - they are without spirituality. 

Meanwhile, the beautiful world has continued to tank; and godless/falsely "spiritual"/ FALSE religious wickedness, corruption, greed, injustice, immorality, and violence - and persecution against those TRUE to Jehovah and Jesus Christ (who preach Jehovah's [frequently unwanted] scriptural truth to the world) has once again filled the earth. We are now worse off here on this earth than when Jehovah previously saw fit to bring on the Great Flood - saving only those 8 persons, Noah and his family; because they were the only ones who cared to be true, loyal, and obedient to Jehovah.

Soon though, it will be a "great crowd" that Jehovah will carry through, to the other side of Armageddon, into Jehovah's peaceful new world here - "a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9,10)

“These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down upon them nor any scorching heat,  because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:14-17)
 
Revelation - DON'T "LET IT GO", but instead READ IT and PREACH IT (while there's still time) - chapters 17 and 18. It's happening NOW. That makes chapter 19 next. This and more. Looks like we're probably all the way into the end of the Book of Daniel 11:44,45 too. Although things don't always occur chronologically in the order they were written; the very next verse starts out chapter 12; with our King Jesus Christ, as Michael the Archangel standing up for Jehovah's loyal and true people:

“And during that time Mi′cha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book. And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence." (Daniel 12:1,2)


Like I once painted around a music note heart-shape on the wall across from your studio on the Liffey, back when, however, there is Luke 21:28 - as these things occur, it means that Jehovah's after-Armageddon Day TRUE new world - His true, heaven-based Kingdom, coming down to earth - is NEAR.

I strongly feel that I was NOT a fool for going to this show, but was doing something that was perhaps going to be of good benefit to whoever (and it was very enjoyable and fulfilling to me also [except for a handful of bad parts - of the same sort I already recently complained about]).

As explained, I have long-loved some U2 music. I have had many AMAZING concert and concert-related/ U2-related experiences in the past (in the crazy mix of things [the good and the bad, hoping for the good]) - and I have missed the good (great) experiences. This is probably why I opted to go up front, by the stage again, after all.

Before I go on to say what I thought was very wrong still - about a handful of things at this Minneapolis concert - I want to say what was right. 

I have love for the people of this band; the creative and magnificently-rendered expressions of the righteous and important things that ARE true - the heart-and-soulful sharing of the fruitage of an unfathomable amount of hard work, dedication and personal sacrifice; the wonderful and amazing performances (and stunning stage productions) of songs I know by heart and love; and a superlative JOY of getting to actually hear them sung LIVE, and getting to actually hear my voice blend with yours in the singing of them. I just cupped my ear/ears and listened. It was a monumental life thrill. (I also liked [for the most part] the song you walked out to, at the beginning - "You Saw the Whole of the Moon".) Thanks for throwing in "Purple Rain" and "Let's Go Crazy" snippets too. "Are we gonna let De-elevator break us down? Oh no! Let's go....'crazy'....THANK YOU for all of this and more.

Okey-dokey.

Well, 

this tour, I can't stand the "Exit" performance (as explained previously). In short, it has the effect of wrongly condemning all Christian religions (the false ones AND true, scriptural Christianity) as being "einey, meiny miney mo" all being all basically the same as regards being guilty of sexual child abuse - and that is a torrid, extremely unjust, evilly slanderous, wantonly trending LIE. Guilty individuals are guilty individuals - period. But to slander 8 million evil-hating, innocent people of Jehovah on account of a minuscule few number of evil-working, untrue, disloyal, hypocritical stumbling block persons doing the Devil's will, not God's, is completely UNJUST, inexcusably exploitive, hypocritical, and grossly unfair. The slander spread around in this way is wantonly disproportionate - compared to all other religions (especially ones long notorious for epidemic amounts of Satanic sexual child abuse), or any other group of 8 million people. Yet, HATERS of Jehovah's own scriptural standards - and His true Christian messengers of them - are always wickedly ready to exploit and/or fabricate anything they possibly can against Jehovah's innocent, loyal, and true people. And so rolls the ugly plague of slander - coming from many persons who, in short order, reveal that the one they are really fighting is God, due to their expressed dislike of various scriptural commands and principles of HIS. Serious? Yes it is - as such extremist hate for God, His standards and His true people; as worked through the device of conscienceless slander against them actually promotes terrorism, hate crimes, injustice, extreme human rights violations, and unjust persecution against innocent persons of Jehovah and Jesus Christ themselves. And they certainly fight against God and Jesus Christ themselves with God-hated slander also. I feel these performances of "Exit" throw dump trucks worth of salt (etc.) onto the open wounds and scrapes from hurtful slander of 8 million innocent people of Jehovah around the world - plus hurtfulness up towards God and Christ also. I can't even watch all but an initial bit of this song's performance. It can also fuel - support and condone (through a mass-media-ed, repeated performance, by a top band) -  the slander, hate speech, hate crimes, extreme injustices, etc. aforementioned; against innocent people of the True God Jehovah. This has already been seen [again recently] in Russia, North Korea, China, the Middle East, etc. The "Exit" song performance is unfairly slashing and abusive - insinuated false accusations and further massively spread and reinforced slander - being yelled in a live, massive, multi-media, nightmarish performance. It is disturbing and worrisome. The vast majority of those harboring much derision against Jehovah's own scriptural commands love that which kicks God Almighty in the throat, though (often calling themselves "Christian" anyways, of course). Cowardly as it is, too, its pretty easy for people to take their hate for God and His scriptural words out on mere human messengers of them. So many do. 

Like the main faith-trashing, scriptural-spiritual truth-defaming, and scripturally-based true religion-trashing anthem of last tour, "Raised by Wolves"; these "Exit"performances are doing the same, major WRONG: They are trashing Jehovah's own one true, global Christian religion - everyone true and loyal to Jehovah within it, innocent people - together with scripturally-defiant FALSE religionists, who are destroying human society with spiritism, political meddling, and evil practices of all sorts.

As for politics, think of the earlier Star Wars movies [for this point anyway]. There was all kinds of frustrated political talk, worries, problems, and distractions on the surface - it was what many people were focused on. The whole while though, that's not where the real "action" - or the greater danger -  was. The greater emergency had to do with the spiritual war going on. Its the same, in "real life", today.

I am politically neutral. I don't vote. I don't idolatrously pray/pledge my allegiance to any flag or country of this largely Satan-run world. Just like Jesus said, His and His Father's Kingdom is "no part of this world"; and is "NOT from this source." (See John 18:36) My trust for the future is not in any nation or political conglomeration of men; but in that heaven-based Kingdom of God.  I am a conscientious objector to war. It is the same for some 8 million loyal and true Jehovah's Witnesses in all countries around this planet. We are ONE UNITED, SUPRA-NATIONAL SPIRITUAL NATION and BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD, UNDER ONE GOD JEHOVAH, and UNDER ONE KING and LORD, JESUS CHRIST. I BELIEVE IN ONE GLOBAL FAMILY OF MAN. So, when you spoke about how "great" the man-made, earthly, physical, geographical nation I was born in and live in is; with nearly everyone now realizing that, sadly, like ALL other countries/nations on earth at this time, it is corrupt and deficient, it made me put my hands up like, "Whaaat?"

The promotion of homosexual marriage/ "pride" was diminished this time - but was still problematically there, even though it was a fast reference. Pride for everyone? I'm proud - in a godly way - to uphold and speak of Jehovah's own scriptural standards, His own words on this subject (as written about before here, previously). It is serious. It is false that it is "scripturally unclear" - no matter how many false religious priests are willing to sell you and tell you lies to tickle your ears. The best way for EVERYONE is to get right with God - immediately. (1Corinthians 6:9-11) 

A lot of the poems - or chunks of them - run on the screen before the show were very brave/bold, moving (some, to choking back tears) and timely. The Yes, racism is senseless and evil. Again, it is Jah Himself who made the whole family of man - and He Himself is NOT partial to any race: 

"At this Peter opened his mouth and said: “For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him." (Acts 10:34,35)

And I loved the parts of a poem that spoke of birds flying over the man-made "borders" of nations, but not recognizing them; and the wind itself, as it naturally does, blowing this way and that, over them all - over everything on this one shared planet. (I wish the references to common spiritism were not in this poem though.) 

Yes, there were some false religious poems/ verses in the mix. I hated the one with its couched denigration of the Bible - the scriptural words of God Almighty Himself. The poem counseled people (in so many words) to dismiss writings from ANY book that does not resonate with one's soul. Yet, the problem is that MANY today have developed, as prophesied, a HATRED for God's own words - His own provided, superior counsel. Jehovah's scriptural words of truth and guidance are often disciplinary in nature, warning humans of what NOT to do - and also what they SHOULD do. One reason why these truth and warnings are already rejected, hated, and dismissed - by probably most people - whole or in part; is because many/most people would rather "satisfy" their spiritual needs with anti-scriptural lies and falsehoods that seem to "support" or exonerate their sinful desires and practices that God has already said NO to. So, they look for false teachers willing to satisfy these spiritual desires with what is scripturally-spiritually FALSE - and there are a LOT of them. 2Timothy 4:3. "Babylon the Great" - Satan's global empire of all FALSE-to-God religions, is all over the world today like white on rice.

Which brings me to my last couple of complaints about this show: What seems to be steadily worked with the "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" song this tour. You keep calling for your audience to be taken to - to become - a church during this song. Again, that is NOT okay. If you are not working WITH Jehovah and Jesus Christ, in gathering people "in the name of God" or "Christ" - if you do not teach people HIS own scriptural truth and standards; but teach and uphold what is anti-scriptural instead - that would mean you are actually MISLEADING people AWAY FROM Jehovah, Jesus Christ, truth, life-help, true consolation and hope, and eternal life. That has been the standard practice of all of the God-condemned FALSE religious institutions of "Babylon the Great" for many centuries, Yet, they are doomed by God, for all of their spiritual falseness - and for all of the works of evil, gross injustice, and even slaughter that has produced. So, this fighting against God - and His own, given scriptural standards and terms of worship - is NOT light. It is NOT something that is okay to do for entertainment; as it is very apparent that quite a few people have been taking the notion of U2 concerts as being one big loose, fun, non-obligatory party church/ spiritual mode seriously. You don't want to end up like "Father MacKenzie", in "Eleanor Rigby", who reflected back on his day and realized "no one was saved."

And did you know that the Salvation Army - despite its famous relief efforts (and pretty trumpet players, as shown on the big screen) is actually just yet again another false Christian religion of Babylon the Great. The outward works seem great, huh? But yet, what is the true net worth of the work they do - when like all false-to-God religions of "Babylon the Great", they do indeed share in misleading the nations with their spiritistic teachings, which produce every kind of injustice and evil under the sun - and the suffering and losses of life that go along with that.

With all institutions of FALSE religions now standing today as being indicted of their shared crimes against God and humanity, please stop promoting, supporting, upholding, partnering with, and clinging to them. Jehovah's time of Divine intervention, to "pay them back" for their defiance of God and their evil works is SOON. (Revelation 18:4,5)

Once again, THANK YOU for all of the good parts. The visit by concert was over all too soon. Please come again. And please hear Jehovah's "tunes" now - they are all around you, but the vital ones are mostly found in His own words. Right now, I can hear the crickets and frogs of a peaceful summer night; but its our Heavenly Father Jehovah's scriptural words that really do the clear lighting of our way.

I believe this too: (Edwin Starr) "WAR, huh, yeah/ What is it good for?/ Absolutely nothing."

Isaiah 2:2-4

Jehovah's TRUE new world here, His promised new beginning of paradise (His Kingdom) will be coming here soon - after His Armageddon Day. Then, He will resurrect dead loves ones too, as He has promised. I am sorry you recently lost your friend - Gavin's mother. Please stay safe and well, and I hope your pain quits bothering you. In Jehovah's Kingdom here, there will be no more pain. I hope, heart and soul, to be able to see you again - after these days of the stars falling from the sky, and the moon turning red.  :)

So Why Would You Let Your Opening Band Start Out Singing a Song About the Devil?

Instant tune-out.

Reserving My Right to Change My Mind About Going Places for the Reasons I Do...

...and for why I do them.   :)

UPDATED [re: The NEWER video is Much Better]: A Concern Issue - the New U2 Song and Lyric Video is Disturbing (THE LATEST VIDEO IS MUCH BETTER)

In the lyrics:

 [Man singing]:

"You're the best thing that ever happened 

a boy"

(It doesn't say TO a boy.)

A number of times, it is not easy to discern whether the young person (s)
in the video is/are male or female.....

(Yet this comes off like a relationship break-up/ "walking away" song...) 

The person seems to be suffering/ upset in places...


"The best things are easy to destroy" 
(Yet, in context, this is in reference to a person.)

Why should anyone be destroying a person - 
is that not abuse?

"How bad can a good time be?" ???

"There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall"??

Very disturbing.

The upbeat performance of this song - with this video not visible - was far less worrisome; but when considered at a level other than the most light, casual, and flippant; the latter three lyric  lines still come off as at least condoning that which is bad/wicked.

(Doesn't the lovely girl on the cover of this single deserve to be on the front on a non-disturbing song?) 

UPDATE - 

THE LATEST VIDEO for this song (with the Statue of Liberty) is MUCH better, and far more worthy-meaningful !

It is also better to know that this song is meant as (stated to be) a "love song" to your wife. However, it remains that it intentionally goes out to the world, and the world can take something alright, and apply it or exploit it - if given a plausible chance (by way of loose lyrics) - into something that can promote, condone, or support that which is bad.

People in general don't need any more encouragement to be obnoxiously bad, for their own egotistical ways or selfish/wrongful pleasures.

I refer you to your own "Staring at the Sun" video, which also included flag umbrellas.....

Those lyrics are even more meaningful today, aren't they.

The figurative luminaries of this largely Satan-run world system have become dim, indeed. That includes ALL of this world's countries.

Basically, don't expect any of them (or any political institution of man, i.e., the UN, etc.) - or any FALSE-to-God religion(s) - to "SHINE" with any significantly life-sustaining or "ensuring" force anymore.

And, as for the lovely blue statue, it has a very nice idea-slogan to go along with it - as was the thought now apparently just in stone, like a gravestone inscription anyway.

If I could give you a music video or mp3 as homework material for your consideration however, it would be from the band Styx - "Suite Madam Blue." 

Yet, know that the world situation now, at the end of this system of things (the last of the last days) is even worse than that.

Its a no-repair situation, in need of a trade-in - for God's own promised Kingdom for Earth.
