EelKat Wendy C. Allen ***Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;**** Doesn’t the part “not given to wine” apply to Mormon Bishops? How than can they sell wine and beer to the public?

I continue to remain confused and baffled by Bishop’s who preach one thing and do another – that is what is known as a hypocrite

I wonder how that “filthy lucre” part doesn’t apply to the guy fighting the IRS about the $3.3million taxes he says he does not have to pay for his new plane? He you know – being a church leader and all, what does he call himself, again? a Prophet? Doesn’t that waaay outrank a bishop?

I don’t know – it just seems like church leaders are getting less and less blameless every day

Due to the resent rise (yet again) of the demon possession and witchcraft accusations and questions from non church members, asking me what the church members talking about, I have decided to write a book about Etiole, who he is, how I met him, why people started calling me a witch, and what these religion crazed nuts did to me as a result of their unfounded fears of Etiole. This blog will contain the first drafts of it. I’ll be posting them over the next month or so. I’m just plain tired of being called a witch, I’m thinking of renaming this blog to make the accusations, just to spite them. Seeing a UFO and meeting an alien-faerie-angel being DOES NOT MAKE ME A WITCH!!!! Well, anyways, here’s my latest addition into this year’s NaNoWriMo contest, I know I’m supposed to be writing a fiction novel, not a non-fiction autobiography, but whatever, I just need these people to stop accusing me of demon possession and witchcraft and the only way I can see to do that is to tell the world why it is they are saying these things about me, so continueing from where I left on in my last NaNoWriMo post, here is todays NaNoWriMo addition:

UPDATE: February 5, 2010: It’s Published!

Stealing money from people in the name of God

I was just reading an article by a minister who says for weddings he charges $750! His article is to “teach” other minister’s how much to charge for their services (weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc.). He says the more you (the minister) add to the “wedding package” (photographers, decorations, etc) the more you can charge the couple! I’m flabbergasted. And, having been a minister myself for many years now, I just wrote him my answer. here it is:

uhm . . . you are supposed to be marrying the couple not acting as their wedding planner! The minister’s job should include the blessing/exchange of vows – no more, no less. It’s not the minister’s job to provide anything for the wedding. The minister only needs to show up on time, marry the couple, than slip away unnoticed.

Being a minister is a sacred calling. It is not a career. It is not a job. It is not a business. It is not a source of income. Remember Jesus and the money chargers? He braided a whip and beat them, and threw their money, and chased them out of the temple saying that by bringing money into a holy building, they had made it a den of thieves.

I don’t believe in charging to marry a couple. I charge nothing as I have another source of income. I am an author by profession and an artist by trade. When it comes to the ministry, I am considered to be a “hieratic prophet”, in other words I preach by “revelation”. As a general rule everything I preach gets written down and published, and than becomes my source of income. I don’t preach out of a church, I’m more of your “John the Baptist style” preacher who just spouts off at any one who will listen, no matter where I go.

Of course after I say all this, people always ask, but what about tithes and offerings? I say, what about them. Did you ever actually READ your Bible? No where does it say to pay your tithes to the church or to church leaders – it also doesn’t say that tithes is money. It says to take one tenth of all you own – specifically mentions food and clothen – and says to give it to the poor, the orphaned, the widowed, and the hungry. Never does it mention money or churches in regards to paying tithes!

My “church” is not registered as a non-profit org, because I do not believe in using God as a money scam. I do not accept tithes, telling people to give to the poor instead.

I do not charge people for any type of ministry service. I believe that ministry services should be available to EVERYONE even people without an income, homeless people, ect. By charging for your services, you are telling these people that they are not as important to God as the guy with enough money to pay for services, and well in my mind, that’s just wrong, wrong, wrong.

If someone wants to pay me for my services, I tell them to take that money and help the homeless with it instead.

You see, I don’t think of my ministry as a job or a career, I think of it as a gift or calling. So I have a job in addition to being a minister. Though I also believe that your job should never come at odds with your calling, so I would never have a job that goes against anything I preach, either.

I gotta ask you: What would Jesus do? Do Jesus ever charge for his services?

QUESTION

Help answer this question below.

Why did Joseph Smith need to publish HIS extra-Biblical Book of Moses when one already existed? Why didn’t he just publish the existing one?

You will find a full English translation of the existing extra-Biblical Books of Mose here: http://www.esotericarchives.com/moses/67moses.htm This book had been a part of Jewish folk lore for years and was well known among scholars during the 19th Century. They are commonly referred to as “The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses”.

Yet, In June 1830, Joseph Smith, Jr. began a new Bible translation that was intended to restore “many important points touching the salvation of men, [that] had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled.” (Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 16 February 1832, pp. 10-11) The biggest “restoration” in the Joseph Smith Translation is the insertion of “The Book of Moses” into the Genesis narrative. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Moses)

Ironically the “Sixth and Seventh Books of Mose” parallel many of the things that Joseph Smith taught and practiced – albeit many of them secretly.

So one, in the end, is left to wonder WHY Joseph Smith took it upon himself to “restore” a lost book of Moses when one (two actually) already existed!

This is especially perplexing in light of what he often told his followers: “No man can learn you more than what I have told you.”

The Book of Moses, was not a book Joesph Smith wrote, that is a common myth.

Smith’s mother made money by running a side show attraction which included several Egyptian artifacts that she had bought from a pedaler. Among the things in her Curio Cabinet, was an Egyptian mummy. Smith’s mother (like so many side show workers) billed her mummy as being Abraham of the Bible. The mummy was the Smith families #1 source of income, due to massive crop failure while living in Vermont, before moving to New York. Accused of being Charlatans the Smiths were driven off their land and fled to New York to start a new life. (Joesph was still a very small boy at this time)

His father made a failed attempt at starting a church, than went back to farming.

In New York, his mother kept the mummy locked away in a closet and still made money off of it, but more discreetly than she had done in Vermont. One day while closing up his mom’s shop for the night Smith found a papyrus scroll in between the lining of the many layers of coffins. Smith put it away for many years.

At age 12, Joesph started telling his White Salamander story. (Note – in the 1820′s salamanders, the UNCAPITALIZED word meaning a small amphibious animal, did not yet exist, and Salamander with a capital “S” was a type of elemental water faerie that breathed fire. The little frog-like animal was named after the faerie/spirit being not the other way around.) The white skinned white haired Salamander visited Smith frequently and often attacked him with bolts of lightening if Smith disobeyed him.

At age 14, his parents were thrown out of a tent revival, though no one knows the reason today. Later that same day, Joesph confused over the big fight his father had had with the tent preacher, went into the forest to pray about it. An angel appeared to him and gave him varying messages, depending on which diary you are reading – Smith kept several and the account was alarming different every time he retold the story.

As the years passed Smith continued to visit the angel in the forest and eventually the angel (Moroni, btw) gave him the Gold Plates, telling Smith to translate them.

The Gold Plates Became the Book of Mormon.

Several years later Smith founded the Church of Christ. After a huge lawsuit with another church also called the Church of Christ, he changed the name and the LDS church got going.

Than after the whole BoM, Gold Plates, and Church thing, got underway. The angel reminded Smith about the scroll and the mummy. Told Smith the mummy was in fact Abraham, and that the scroll was ANOTHER book written by Moses and it was Smith’s job to “translate it by divine intervention” (keeping in mind that the Rosetta Stone code had not yet been broke so no one knew how to translate Egyptian Hyrogliphis yet). Smith claimed to have translated the scroll by writing the words he angel told him. And that is how the Book of Moses (the LDS version) came to exist.

(Polygamy btw, while I’m on the pre-church history, for those who don’t know, was NOT introduced by Smith. It was started by Brigham Young, who was ALREADY a polygamist BEFORE joining the church, and Smith adopted the practice afterwards – though there is no actual evidence that Smith himself had more than one wife. All documents saying so were written by Young AFTER Smith’s death.)

Both the mummy and the scroll are is storage in Salt Lake City today. They were on display for many years, but were locked away from public viewing, in the 1970′s after an Egyptian translator was allowed to translate the scrolls, and got through only the first few lines before declaring the scroll authentic, but Smith’s translation of it an incorrectly translated fake. His claim was that the mummy was not Abraham, and the scroll was nothing more than a ledger.

I don’t remember all the exact details of dates and names, but this information is very hard to come by unless you can track down a copy of “The Church History” that was published (by the Church itself) PRIOR to the 1978 overhaul of the Church Doctrine, which included a massive rewrite of all of the Church’s publications (including the make deletions out of the Book of Mormon and to remove several chapters of the D&C). The Church History books published AFTER 1979 will not have the old history of before the Church started in it.

In the 1970′s The White Salamander Letters surfaced, and because Smith had talked about it so much in his early writings the Church leaders jumped at the chance to prove the White Salamander was real. The letters proved to be a hoax, and the Church leadership than removed all references to both the Mummy and the White Salamander from church published textbooks. Today, most church leaders deny the existence of both the Mummy and the Salamander. But if you can get a hold of church publications that are old enough, you can find that before 1978 the Church both believed and promoted them as hard evidence and proof of the truth behind the Church’s supernatural founding.

(I’ve been a Mormon for 34 years btw [and my family has been with the church since the 1800's] so I remember the old books, the recall of them, and the write and re release of new editions – the leadership did a very good job at erasing everything that had any connection to either the White Salamander Letters Hoax or the Temple Murders when a priest went on a rampage beheading family members, because of the wording of certain temple rituals which said to do so, both events occurred in 1978) I’m old enough to remember when the mummy was on display, btw.

Religion has the ability to generate unselfish love in some people, and vicious, raw hatred in others. Religion is only as good as the people promoting it.

On one hand religion creates people like Gandhi and Mother Teresa and on the other hand it creates people like Adolf Hitler.

When you have loving kind people promoting peace and love, religion is a good thing. When you have vengeful vindictive people promoting acts of violence and hate, religion is a bad thing.

Religion, like every thing else in the world is neutral. Religion on it’s own is neither good nor bad. Religion becomes good or evil when it is wielded by it’s followers, depending on how it’s followers go about promoting it.

People who do good things, give their religion of choice a good name. People who do bad things, cause their chosen religion to suffer a bad reputation.

Each religion has rules and doctrines, but the religion and it’s rules and doctrines are only as good as the members who promote them, and are farther only as good as the methods used by the members to promote them. Without it’s members a religion means nothing.

Some of the greatest acts in history were inspired by religion, and yet religion has also been used to justify slavery, murder, torture, terrorism, war, racial segregation, oppression of women, discrimination, bigotry, genocides, infanticides, exterminations of minorities, hate crimes, and other horrendous evils.

Religion has the ability to generate unselfish love in some people, and vicious, raw hatred in others. Religion is only as good as the people promoting it.

Due to the resent rise (yet again) of the demon possession and witchcraft accusations and questions from non church members, asking me what the church members talking about, I have decided to write a book about Etiole, who he is, how I met him, why people started calling me a witch, and what these religion crazed nuts did to me as a result of their unfounded fears of Etiole. This blog will contain the first drafts of it. I’ll be posting them over the next month or so. I’m just plain tired of being called a witch, I’m thinking of renaming this blog to make the accusations, just to spite them. Seeing a UFO and meeting an alien-faerie-angel being DOES NOT MAKE ME A WITCH!!!! Well, anyways, here’s my latest addition into this year’s NaNoWriMo contest, I know I’m supposed to be writing a fiction novel, not a non-fiction autobiography, but whatever, I just need these people to stop accusing me of demon possession and witchcraft and the only way I can see to do that is to tell the world why it is they are saying these things about me, so continueing from where I left on in my last NaNoWriMo post, here is todays NaNoWriMo addition:

An Interesting Visit

A guy from Church just came over and said: “I don’t know why but you are not allowed to have home teachers. Well I don’t agree with that and since I’m right near by me and my partner are going to add you to our home teaching list.” Interesting. Well, not being allowed to have home teachers is not news – I’ve been requesting home teachers for more than 20 years now and I’ve NEVER been allowed to have one.

Uhm, for those who don’t know: Mormons have “home teachers” – they are like “local missionaries” that live in your town, and go around the neighborhood teaching scripture lessons to members of the church. They are REQUIRED to visit EVERY member of the local church building at least once per month. I’ve NEVER had one visit me once in 34 years.

Actually I’m supposed to have Visiting Teachers too – that’s a pair of women, who visit the women of the church each month. I’ve been requesting them to visit me too, but to date it’s been 34 years and they’ve never stopped by either. The reason – I’m being shunned.
I was 12 years old when Bishop M announced that I was “The Great Apostate who was to come in the last days” and commanded the members to shun me. I’ve been shunned by the local members ever since, and if they do talk to me it’s to call me “a demon possessed witch”. This has been going on since I was just 12 years old.

I don’t even accept anyone else’s opinion about where my soul will be for eternity anymore!
I actually stop going to the Mormon church 9 years ago, because the whole shunning and being put down, and everything else that was going on, had me fall into a huge fit of depression. So I was quite surprised when this guy showed up at my door. I remember him from years ago, but I don’t know his name. I haven’t seen him in church since I was like 8 or 9.
Anyways, I’ve taken that seminary course via the Calvinist church and a one year course through the SDA church, than studied for 3 years with a Pentecostal church and have since been ordained a minister and uhm, well, the current Bishop called me the Great Apostate last summer because I wrote a book (For Fear of Little Men) that kind of pretty much lays the groundwork for starting a new religion of my own.

You got to wonder though – if they had never shunned me, I would never have pursued all this, so in a way they made their own prediction come true! LOL!

I kind of have to wonder: What would be the implication if we met aliens from another planet and they WERE the beings that the ancients called “God”?

What if God was an Alien?

Think about it:

1.) Alien Abductees almost never remember what happened to them.
2.) Faerie Abductees almost always remember every detail of what happened to them.
3.) God encounters and Angel sightings rarely reported being abducted.

Of course than there is this to consider:

1.) Angel encounters happened since pre-history, and were a common daily occurrence in most cultures, but suddenly came to an abrupt world wide halt in the 1500’s and have been very rare since

2.) Faerie encounters and Faerie abductions started in almost as soon as Angel encounters stopped. They happened on a daily basis in nearly every town in every culture across the entire globe. And though extraordinarily common through out the 1600s – 1800s, stopped abruptly in the 1940’s and became very rare after World War II.

3.) The first Alien Encounters were reported in the 1870’s, but were very rare and did not become wide spread across the globe until the 1950’s. Alien abductions and encounters today occur on a daily basis in nearly every city in every country of every continent.

Do you see it? Alien abductions are not a new thing, they just have a new name. I can see the scientific advancement in the abductors’ technology at work here:

1.) Early encounters with beings “from the Heavens” were simple encounters with messages of love and peace and good tidings of great joy being told. The people shared the message, saying “God” gave it too them and than started religions which resulted in fighting, hate, wars and bloodshed.
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=spacedock13-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00000IO3U&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
2.) Later encounters with beings “from the Air” involved kidnappings but with clear memories of such events. They spoke of love and peace, while showing gruesome playacted images of war and bloodshed. Abductees were returned with instructions not to tell what they saw in the homes and lands of the abductors and often died a few days after telling about their experience.

3.) Current encounters with beings “from outer space” involve more advanced kidnappings in which an attempt is made to erase the abductees memory of the events, thus preventing them from telling anyone what they saw, but suddenly they are going around preach veganism, to take care of the environment, love and peace, and change their lives to make a war on war. They don’t know why they are compelled to go on this eco-green-living rampage, and they end only ever remember being abducted through hypnotism.

It seems that these “Beings From the Sky” have always been with us, have always had a message of love and peace, and that as their technology advances, we change our descriptions of them.

Is it not odd that the ancients often encountered angels, messengers of God, holy spirits, and demons, but than suddenly stopped encountering them after the arrival of faerie, trickster, and wraith encounters started to occur?

Is it not odd that the medieval, renaissance, and Victorian man often encountered faeries, tricksters, and wraiths but than suddenly stopped encountering them after the arrival of aliens and UFO encounters started to occur?

People often ask:

Why don’t angels still visit us today?

Why doesn’t God still come down and talk to people face to face?

Why does no one today see fairies anymore?

Why are there so many alien sightings today when there never was any before?

I ask in return to those questions:

Who says angels no longer visit the Earth? What are angels, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Who says faeries are no longer seen? What are faeries, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Who says aliens did not visit the Earth long ago? What are aliens, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Were the angel-god-demon encounters of the Bible, really any different from the faerie encounters of the old days? And were both of these really any different from the UFO encounters of today?
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=spacedock13-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0810932741&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
I do not think that these encounters are any different now than they were hundreds or thousands of years ago. We as Humans have been visited for centuries, by astral beings, the only thing that has changed is that we have over the years and across the cultures, identified these beings by different names. Originally we called these visitors Gods, than angels, than demons, than faeries, now aliens, and who knows what new names we will call them by in future generations. But just because we change what we call them, does not mean to say that they ever have or ever will stop visiting us.

Due to the resent rise (yet again) of the demon possession and witchcraft accusations and questions from non church members, asking me what the church members talking about, I have decided to write a book about Etiole, who he is, how I met him, why people started calling me a witch, and what these religion crazed nuts did to me as a result of their unfounded fears of Etiole. This blog will contain the first drafts of it. I’ll be posting them over the next month or so. I’m just plain tired of being called a witch, I’m thinking of renaming this blog to make the accusations, just to spite them. Seeing a UFO and meeting an alien-faerie-angel being DOES NOT MAKE ME A WITCH!!!! Well, anyways, here’s my latest addition into this year’s NaNoWriMo contest, I know I’m supposed to be writing a fiction novel, not a non-fiction autobiography, but whatever, I just need these people to stop accusing me of demon possession and witchcraft and the only way I can see to do that is to tell the world why it is they are saying these things about me, so continueing from where I left on in my last NaNoWriMo post, here is todays NaNoWriMo addition:

UPDATE: February 5, 2010: It’s Published!

I kind of have to wonder: What would be the implication if we met aliens from another planet and they WERE the beings that the ancients called “God”?

What if God was an Alien?

Think about it:

1.) Alien Abductees almost never remember what happened to them.
2.) Faerie Abductees almost always remember every detail of what happened to them.
3.) God encounters and Angel sightings rarely reported being abducted.

Of course than there is this to consider:

1.) Angel encounters happened since pre-history, and were a common daily occurrence in most cultures, but suddenly came to an abrupt world wide halt in the 1500’s and have been very rare since

2.) Faerie encounters and Faerie abductions started in almost as soon as Angel encounters stopped. They happened on a daily basis in nearly every town in every culture across the entire globe. And though extraordinarily common through out the 1600s – 1800s, stopped abruptly in the 1940’s and became very rare after World War II.

3.) The first Alien Encounters were reported in the 1870’s, but were very rare and did not become wide spread across the globe until the 1950’s. Alien abductions and encounters today occur on a daily basis in nearly every city in every country of every continent.

Do you see it? Alien abductions are not a new thing, they just have a new name. I can see the scientific advancement in the abductors’ technology at work here:

1.) Early encounters with beings “from the Heavens” were simple encounters with messages of love and peace and good tidings of great joy being told. The people shared the message, saying “God” gave it too them and than started religions which resulted in fighting, hate, wars and bloodshed.
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=spacedock13-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00000IO3U&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
2.) Later encounters with beings “from the Air” involved kidnappings but with clear memories of such events. They spoke of love and peace, while showing gruesome playacted images of war and bloodshed. Abductees were returned with instructions not to tell what they saw in the homes and lands of the abductors and often died a few days after telling about their experience.

3.) Current encounters with beings “from outer space” involve more advanced kidnappings in which an attempt is made to erase the abductees memory of the events, thus preventing them from telling anyone what they saw, but suddenly they are going around preach veganism, to take care of the environment, love and peace, and change their lives to make a war on war. They don’t know why they are compelled to go on this eco-green-living rampage, and they end only ever remember being abducted through hypnotism.

It seems that these “Beings From the Sky” have always been with us, have always had a message of love and peace, and that as their technology advances, we change our descriptions of them.

Is it not odd that the ancients often encountered angels, messengers of God, holy spirits, and demons, but than suddenly stopped encountering them after the arrival of faerie, trickster, and wraith encounters started to occur?

Is it not odd that the medieval, renaissance, and Victorian man often encountered faeries, tricksters, and wraiths but than suddenly stopped encountering them after the arrival of aliens and UFO encounters started to occur?

People often ask:

Why don’t angels still visit us today?

Why doesn’t God still come down and talk to people face to face?

Why does no one today see fairies anymore?

Why are there so many alien sightings today when there never was any before?

I ask in return to those questions:

Who says angels no longer visit the Earth? What are angels, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Who says faeries are no longer seen? What are faeries, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Who says aliens did not visit the Earth long ago? What are aliens, but visitors from beyond the clouds who come down from the sky?

Were the angel-god-demon encounters of the Bible, really any different from the faerie encounters of the old days? And were both of these really any different from the UFO encounters of today?

I do not think that these encounters are any different now than they were hundreds or thousands of years ago. We as Humans have been visited for centuries, by astral beings, the only thing that has changed is that we have over the years and across the cultures, identified these beings by different names. Originally we called these visitors Gods, than angels, than demons, than faeries, now aliens, and who knows what new names we will call them by in future generations. But just because we change what we call them, does not mean to say that they ever have or ever will stop visiting us.

One I used today: I couldn’t give a flying pigs bollock!

When I like something I say it’s: “Wicked Good” – people tell me that is strange and illogical.

When I’m excited about something or happy about something I scream out: “Goody Goody Gumdrops!” – people tell me that’s outdated.

When I’m angry I scream: “Damn Bloody Hell” – people say “Why did you say that, you’re not from England?” – no, but Doctor Who and Are You Being Served? are my favorite shows and I’ve watched both weekly for close to 30 years now. I guess I picked up some of the lingo.

What do you want to know about women? What are the most puzzling questions you wish you had answers to?

   Not that there is much you can tell me. Not that you don’t want to, but for some reason women seem to have this built in repertoire of what to say when asked, “What do you want to know about women?” So instead of asking what I am sure to know what the answer will be, I would like to ask something else, if that’s ok. I’ll take your response as a yes or no.
   
   Now before I continue I must point out that by merely posing a question in the hopes of having a woman answer, I am in fact asking a question about women. However, you might say I am going about it from a roundabout way that is seemingly superfluous, yet as I think many men may agree this question is actually quite fundamental.
   
   At what point is a man an asset or a liability in a relationship? i.e. If a man is over forty and lives on a fixed income, if a man is thirty and works two jobs, or if a thirty something man has a six figure income, which of the three is the asset, liability, or plain out of luck when it comes to finding a meaningful relationship.

Which of the three is the asset, liability, or plain out of luck when it comes to finding a meaningful relationship.

That’s actually quite an interesting question. It focuses on age and money, two things which have effected my own relationship with my SO, whom I have been with for 23 years now.

My SO is 30 years older than me, and when we meet, unknown to me at the time, had a rather abnormally high income. This in turn caused problems when his friends meet me for the first time, after several years of his keeping our relationship a secret.

He had a business meeting one Sunday, and on his suggestion, I went with him. (We had been together 15 years at that point.) I waited in the hallway with a few of his friends whom I had just been introduced to, this being the first time I met his friends, and this also being the first time his friends found out about me. He had assumed that we would talk and get on fine during his 2 hour long meeting. They all knew each other, but I knew none of them.

Well, for starters they assumed I was a teenager (I was 27 at the time) and right off the bat one of the men gave me hell about how young (he thought) I was. His wife joined in, saying my SO was a pedophile and telling me I should call the police. They made such a big issue about it that I finally had to pull out my identification to prove I was over 18 years old!

But than, once they finally believed I really was nearing my 30th birthday, they started in on money. My SO had never mentioned work or money, not once in the 15 years we were together. It was an agreement we had right from day one – he would never talk about it and I would never ask. He always had enough money, but he never spent much money, so the fact that he had as much money as he did have, blew me away when I found out about it, and I found out about it, through these people, who told me straight to my face that I was “a gold digger”, a “grave robber”, and “wanted nothing more than to be a rich young widow”.

Well, that all happened 7 years ago. I’m still with my (now elderly) SO, and this is much to the surprise of those friends of his, seeing how he, shortly after that day, lost all of his money and now lives on an almost non-existent income. There was a space of 3 years of homelessness and living under a tarp on the streets. I never left him and I’m still with him today.

My answer to their questioning why I am still with him: I love him. Plain and simple. Our relationship was always based on friendship. I was with him 3 years before he told me his age. Age was never important to me, we spend time together, talk about everything under the sun together, we enjoy each other’s company. I was with him 15 years before I found out how much money he made. Money was never important to me either. And for people who say – “Oh it must be the sex” – no, because, he’s a high priest, thus why our relationship was keep a secret for so many years.

And so to answer your question:

If a man is over forty and lives on a fixed income = asset

Why? His priorities are going to be closer to home. Younger men are always on the look out for “something better”, older men are more ready to settle down. A fixed income may be lower, be it retirement or disability or SSI, but with a fixed income you are going to be wiser, and not go around racking up debts.

If a man is thirty and works two jobs = plain out of luck

Why? Two jobs = no time for family. Why should I waste my time marrying a man who is never going to have time to spend with me?

If a thirty something man has a six figure income =liability

Why? Because this man is going to be putting money first and family last. I’ve known two men who fit this, and both spent all of their time worrying about the “image” – had to get a bigger house, a flashier car, couldn’t be seen eating at places like McDonald’s, had to always eat at the most expensive restaurant – why? Because he said “that’s what people expect me to do.” When a man like this is faced with a Great Depression, he’ll be the first in line to blow his brains out.

Men – What Are Your Biggest Questions About Women?

What do you want to know about women? What are the most puzzling questions you wish you had answers to?

   Not that there is much you can tell me. Not that you don’t want to, but for some reason women seem to have this built in repertoire of what to say when asked, “What do you want to know about women?” So instead of asking what I am sure to know what the answer will be, I would like to ask something else, if that’s ok. I’ll take your response as a yes or no.
   
   Now before I continue I must point out that by merely posing a question in the hopes of having a woman answer, I am in fact asking a question about women. However, you might say I am going about it from a roundabout way that is seemingly superfluous, yet as I think many men may agree this question is actually quite fundamental.
   
   At what point is a man an asset or a liability in a relationship? i.e. If a man is over forty and lives on a fixed income, if a man is thirty and works two jobs, or if a thirty something man has a six figure income, which of the three is the asset, liability, or plain out of luck when it comes to finding a meaningful relationship.

I make 100% of my income online and I have done so since 2007.

I have 32 blogs and 537 web sites, but I’m also online an average of 12 to 16 hours a day in order to manage all of them and keep them all current and up to date. It can be done, but not if you have a day job besides.

How I make money with them? Here are the sites that pay me:

Zazzle (I’m a professional artist, painter and illustrator)(I bring in about $200 per month here)

Squidoo (I write how-to and self help articles)(I bring in $75 to $200 per month here)

Etsy (I’m a doll maker) (I make $30 – $200 per doll sold)

LuLu (I’m a self published author) (I make about $4 per book sold)

Amazon (Marketplace)

Amazon (Associates)

Associated Content

eBay

CafePress

SpoonFlower (I’m a fashion and fabric designer)

Commission Junction

LinkShare

Share A Sale

PepperJam

Helium

Avon (I’ve been a representative for 16 years – sell exclusively online)

I use my blogs, FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace to promote all of the above. I am also a member of more than 300 different forums and online groups. I also own 12 forums of my own besides.

If you want to make money the same way I do, just Google each of them by name, go to their websites, sign up, and than follow the instructions from each individual site.

I am constantly looking for new ways to make money online and every time a new site shows up I join up for it’s Beta Test run. Some flop and disappear after a few months, but a few (namely LuLu and SpoonFlower) go on to become big hits, and in the long run, it’s usually the Beta testers who end up being the big money makers down the road, so the earlier you join a site, the better your chances of a higher income.

It should also be noted that my blogs are far from new, I’ve been online on chatrooms and forums 6 days a week since 1997, and I’m a professional author who write between 2000 to 13,000 words per day.

My oldest blog was started in 2003, currently has more than 4000 posts on it, most posts averaging no less than 1500 words, is a very tight niched blog catering to self published authors, and since I started tracking it in 2007 has had over 200,000 unique visitors and usually gets over 1000 visits per day.

To make money online:

Be creative. Be unique. Be you.

Always remember that people read blogs because they want useful information, honest opinions, and to find others who think, say, like, and do the same things day do. Their first priority is to get unique original information. They do not come to your blog looking to buy something. If they want to buy something they are going to hop in their car and drive to WalMart, not rush to your blog!

Original content. NEVER EVER under ANY circumstances plagerize someone else’s work. If the writer catches you and reports you, you’ll end up with a $25,000 minimum fine and up to 25 years in prison.

Don’t think about money. Have fun. Talk about EVERYTHING that pops into your head, no matter what it is. Have fun. Interact with your readers. Sign autographs when your readers meet you in person (and believe me, if you become famous enough, they will find you!) Be real. Be you. Share your likes and dislikes. Talk on your posts the EXACT same way you talk face to face in person.

Write about things that make you happy. Forget about money. Don’t even think about making money when you are writing your blog posts. Write now, worry about money later.

Go niche. Know your topic. Love your topic. Live your topic.

Don’t know what to write? Ask yourself what you know and write about it: Do you love dogs? Write about dogs. Do you read Horror novels? Write Horror book reviews. Do you spend your free time watching for UFO’s? Keep track of your UFO findings on a UFO themed blog. Did you survive a drive by shooting? Write self help and support articles for other survivors. Do you like eating out every week? Write weekly reviews about local restaurants. Do you breed exotic fish? Than start a question and answer site where fish owners can ask for your advice.

Never give advice you do not follow.

Never promote a product you do not personally use. If you would never buy a Honda, than don’t tell your readers they should be driving one. If you’ve never been on a cruise, than don’t promote cruise line tickets. If you hate the smell of a certain perfume, don’t tell others to buy it.

Don’t be afraid to give bad reviews. If you had a bad allergic reaction to a new face cream – than warn others by sharing with them what happened to you!

Look around your house and find out what you use every day – toothpaste, soda, bread, shampoo – if you use it regular than you know it and love it and will be able to write a 100% honest review about it. Than Google it and find their affiliate program and start promoting it.

Most of the major name brands – including WalMart, Macy’s and Avon, use LinkShare to manage their affiliate accounts, so make sure you sign up with LinkShare if you haven’t already.

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, than join Amazon Associates and start reviewing (on your blog) everything you read, watch, and listen to.

And well, I’m sorry to have say this, but you kind of already need to have a lot of people seeking you out to begin with before you start blogging, if you want to make money at it. So, it helps to already be a celebrity and have tens of thousands of followers on FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace as well. It’s kind of the “big secret” to my blogging success – I have crazy fanboys and fangirls who spend their time following me around online (and offline). Like I said – I’m a professional author, so people read my books than go looking for me afterwards, so it might help you out if you took up writing books first and blogs second.

And for those who would ask, (as people always do) what it is my 32 blogs are about. I’ll tell you. Each one is about one of my hobbies, which include: Ufology, CosPlay, Costume Making, Feral Cat Rescue (I currently have 16 cats), How to Survive Being Homeless and Getting Back on Your Feet Again (I was homeless for 3 years after a flood), Faeries and FolkLore, Self Publishing, Writing Advice, NaNoWriMo, Comic Book Collecting, eBay (I’m overly addicted to it), Autism (I have it), and My Religion (I started my own religious denomination more or less).

I make 100% of my income online and I have done so since 2007.

I have 32 blogs and 537 web sites, but I’m also online an average of 12 to 16 hours a day in order to manage all of them and keep them all current and up to date. It can be done, but not if you have a day job besides.

How I make money with them? Here are the sites that pay me:

Zazzle (I’m a professional artist, painter and illustrator)(I bring in about $200 per month here)

Squidoo (I write how-to and self help articles)(I bring in $75 to $200 per month here)

Etsy (I’m a doll maker) (I make $30 – $200 per doll sold)

LuLu (I’m a self published author) (I make about $4 per book sold)

Amazon (Marketplace)

Amazon (Associates)

Associated Content

eBay

CafePress

SpoonFlower (I’m a fashion and fabric designer)

Commission Junction

LinkShare

Share A Sale

PepperJam

Helium

Avon (I’ve been a representative for 16 years – sell exclusively online)

I use my blogs, FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace to promote all of the above. I am also a member of more than 300 different forums and online groups. I also own 12 forums of my own besides.

If you want to make money the same way I do, just Google each of them by name, go to their websites, sign up, and than follow the instructions from each individual site.

I am constantly looking for new ways to make money online and every time a new site shows up I join up for it’s Beta Test run. Some flop and disappear after a few months, but a few (namely LuLu and SpoonFlower) go on to become big hits, and in the long run, it’s usually the Beta testers who end up being the big money makers down the road, so the earlier you join a site, the better your chances of a higher income.

It should also be noted that my blogs are far from new, I’ve been online on chatrooms and forums 6 days a week since 1997, and I’m a professional author who write between 2000 to 13,000 words per day.

My oldest blog was started in 2003, currently has more than 4000 posts on it, most posts averaging no less than 1500 words, is a very tight niched blog catering to self published authors, and since I started tracking it in 2007 has had over 200,000 unique visitors and usually gets over 1000 visits per day.

To make money online:

Be creative. Be unique. Be you.

Always remember that people read blogs because they want useful information, honest opinions, and to find others who think, say, like, and do the same things day do. Their first priority is to get unique original information. They do not come to your blog looking to buy something. If they want to buy something they are going to hop in their car and drive to WalMart, not rush to your blog!

Original content. NEVER EVER under ANY circumstances plagerize someone else’s work. If the writer catches you and reports you, you’ll end up with a $25,000 minimum fine and up to 25 years in prison.

Don’t think about money. Have fun. Talk about EVERYTHING that pops into your head, no matter what it is. Have fun. Interact with your readers. Sign autographs when your readers meet you in person (and believe me, if you become famous enough, they will find you!) Be real. Be you. Share your likes and dislikes. Talk on your posts the EXACT same way you talk face to face in person.

Write about things that make you happy. Forget about money. Don’t even think about making money when you are writing your blog posts. Write now, worry about money later.

Go niche. Know your topic. Love your topic. Live your topic.

Don’t know what to write? Ask yourself what you know and write about it: Do you love dogs? Write about dogs. Do you read Horror novels? Write Horror book reviews. Do you spend your free time watching for UFO’s? Keep track of your UFO findings on a UFO themed blog. Did you survive a drive by shooting? Write self help and support articles for other survivors. Do you like eating out every week? Write weekly reviews about local restaurants. Do you breed exotic fish? Than start a question and answer site where fish owners can ask for your advice.

Never give advice you do not follow.

Never promote a product you do not personally use. If you would never buy a Honda, than don’t tell your readers they should be driving one. If you’ve never been on a cruise, than don’t promote cruise line tickets. If you hate the smell of a certain perfume, don’t tell others to buy it.

Don’t be afraid to give bad reviews. If you had a bad allergic reaction to a new face cream – than warn others by sharing with them what happened to you!

Look around your house and find out what you use every day – toothpaste, soda, bread, shampoo – if you use it regular than you know it and love it and will be able to write a 100% honest review about it. Than Google it and find their affiliate program and start promoting it.

Most of the major name brands – including WalMart, Macy’s and Avon, use LinkShare to manage their affiliate accounts, so make sure you sign up with LinkShare if you haven’t already.

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, than join Amazon Associates and start reviewing (on your blog) everything you read, watch, and listen to.

And well, I’m sorry to have say this, but you kind of already need to have a lot of people seeking you out to begin with before you start blogging, if you want to make money at it. So, it helps to already be a celebrity and have tens of thousands of followers on FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace as well. It’s kind of the “big secret” to my blogging success – I have crazy fanboys and fangirls who spend their time following me around online (and offline). Like I said – I’m a professional author, so people read my books than go looking for me afterwards, so it might help you out if you took up writing books first and blogs second.

And for those who would ask, (as people always do) what it is my 32 blogs are about. I’ll tell you. Each one is about one of my hobbies, which include: Ufology, CosPlay, Costume Making, Feral Cat Rescue (I currently have 16 cats), How to Survive Being Homeless and Getting Back on Your Feet Again (I was homeless for 3 years after a flood), Faeries and FolkLore, Self Publishing, Writing Advice, NaNoWriMo, Comic Book Collecting, eBay (I’m overly addicted to it), Autism (I have it), and My Religion (I started my own religious denomination more or less).
