Parent Abuse
Parent Abuse
Must read for the parents whom are suffering from parent abuse.
Summary
When we bring a child into the world the last thing we can imagine is that very child becoming abusive towards us. Now, I may not be fair in saying this...but here goes...some parents deserve a swift kick in the behind. Instead of being there they are out and about and not raising their children.
As for the parents that strive everyday to do all you can to provide for your children and are becoming victims of your children rages. Take actions into your own hands and get help. I have heard the stories where parents have been killed by simply telling their children no, etc.. If you suspect you are in this type of danger seek pyschiatric help immediately for your family. Sometimes it is best we let the professionals handle these types of situations. You will find additional information with the full article in the above title link. Being African American and raised in the south, I had my own way of handling out of control children. My ancestors believed firmly in the bible terms "Spare the rod; spoil the child." They also believed in an village raising a child. If one of our neighbors saw us misbehaving and our parents were not around. They spanked us, reported us to our parents and we received another spanking. There was no such thing as someone becoming angry because they disciplined their child. See we did not believe in beating our children; we believed in spankings and punishments. We trusted our neighbors enough to not harm our children and knew we all had one another's best interest at heart. Not these days! This is why the children are beating the parents. This is my experience with my son and his friends; Please Read:

Music

Music
Must read for music fans.
Must read for music fans.
Summary
I own and operate a video production company due to the fact I love music, no matter the genre. Basically the videos we produce are created specifically for music, especially old school. Music has been in my life as far back as I can remember. Music keeps me sane. The music industry however has been getting on my nerves because they have become so sensitive with their products that CD's should come with an expiration date. However, I am glad to see that everyone is basically on the s
ame page when it comes to these idiots. I understand that their only goal is to make money and I do not mind paying for my music; but paying every which way is not up! I just want to enjoy my music the way I use to without all the lawyers, judges, agents, etc.. Come on we are the people that keep the money coming.
ame page when it comes to these idiots. I understand that their only goal is to make money and I do not mind paying for my music; but paying every which way is not up! I just want to enjoy my music the way I use to without all the lawyers, judges, agents, etc.. Come on we are the people that keep the money coming. They are no better than drug dealers. Get you addicted just to keep you coming back and then torment you for showing up. Talk about a good swift kick in the behind.
Seriously....they need to share what they are smoking!
What's so sad about the music industry is they have these talented artist and they use them like street walkers. Many of them sell their souls to those devils. Wouldn't it be a kick if these very artist....market their own music like many of these unknowns on social sites such as Myspace and Youtube. Make and keep their own money instead of having their pimp benefit from the proceeds. Then they have the nerve to scream...copyright infringement, copyright infringement....when they themselves have been pissing all over these poor artist. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in copyright infringement because others will try to claim your work. However, if this music is worth spit...then isn't it nationally known....artist, record company....the whole package. Well, what is wrong with someone taking that very music and adding pictures, etc...just to share their vision of what the music is saying to them. This is what you call being creative. They are not making any money from it. They are simply expressing themselves. Those sappy videos they are making these days....are played out. Different artist, different song....same crap. Give us a break and let's get back to the basics....stop selling us your bull and we will stop giving you crap. Let us express ourselves and you sit back and enjoy the free advertising; because going your way means the song will not survive a milli-second before we move on to something else. Which many of us have already done.....we buy Underground. Main street....is coming to an end.
What Is A Righteous Man?

What Is A Righteous Man?
Must read for anyone dealing with Church Politics.
Must read for anyone dealing with Church Politics.
In the book of Proverbs 24:16 it states. For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again.
Summary
To summarize this article is simply....hot mess. Yes!!! Hot mess...It's the story of the rise and fall and rise and fall again of the "The Little Church....with the Big Heart", otherwise known as Mt. Horeb Free Will Baptist Church (Reverend Thomas White, Pastor) located in our great city of Monroe, Louisiana @ 1803 Ruth Street.
First of all, I am sad to have written this article but the story needs to be told. You see Christians are something else. No halos, no kindness for their fellow man. The Christians world is just as bad if not worst of the unrepentant sinners. You know the saying no honor among thieves, same with the Christians. Once you read the story of Mt. Horeb, you will understand what I am talking about. Since the writing of that article Reverend White has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and just celebrated his one year anniversary of having his brain surgery. God is good! You would be amazed at how many of his fellow brethren came to his aide during his recovery. Come on guess! One. His halo is tipped to the side...but he showed up...that counts for something. Monroe Christians....God is watching you. Money and large fancy churches doesn't clean up your sins. One amongst you is in need and the Christian thing for you to do is to step to the plate and donate. Put together some fundraisers and help them rebuild their church home. Give this Church a hand so they can once again rise from the wilderness and know they are not alone. Remember, before the calamity whenever you asked they where there. God Bless.
WALK AWAY FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (IT'S NOT LOVE)

Must read for those dealing with abuse or suspect they are with an abuser.
Summary
It's an hurting thing to be hurt by the one you love...especially when it involves not just the taking of your soul, breaking of your spirit; but the mutilation of your body for the world to see. All you can ask is why, what did I do to deserve this, why doesn't he love me.
No one can mentally prepare for Domestic Abuse; but one thing is for certain....you will never be the same if you survive it. Once you are in the grasp of an abuser....in order to get away....it's like easing your hand out of a lions mouth...the wrong movement....can cost you your life. The one thing a woman can do to empower herself when it comes to an abuser is to expose him once she's out of his grasp. This will save other potential victims because with pictures in hand....no one and mean no one....will give him the time of day. He can no longer hide behind the shadows of his victims and his secret will be out. God Bless.
