THE RIGHTEOUS SISTERS 
by Hamlet
MOTHER ADAMA'S SERMON ABOUT PUNISHMENT AND PAIN

The Priestess Mother Adama Ezenwa the third of the Righteous Sisters, stood in
front of the congregation at the enormous newly built and spacious St
Christina's Christianaist Church in East India Dock Road in Canning Town
London.

Christianaism was the state and only religion in Norseland that was a
combination of Christianity and ancient Norse religion, in which the Monarch
the Queen Goddess was worshipped as being the representative of God on earth
and semi -divine.

Mother Adama had recently converted to Christianaism and was determined to
spread its influence worldwide.

She was looking so impressive with her ebony skin, her huge frame over 7 feet
tall

and 6 feet wide with enormous mammaries jutting forward. She was dressed
totally

in black leather as always, a tight black leather jacket, leather dress, high
heeled boots and long shiny black leather gloves. She wore a gele an enormous
Nigerian

head dress made too of shiny black leather that made her nearly another two
feet tall. Her most endearing qualities were her great intelligence, power,
foresight and wisdom.

'I want to address you today parishioners and subjects on the importance of
tithing and why I insist that everyone in this congregation pays one tenth of
their income to the Church.'

'The Bible indicates that God's people followed the law of tithing anciently;
through modern prophets, God restored this law once again to bless His
children. To fulfil this commandment, all Church members must give one-tenth
of their income to me as your Priestess and to the Lord through His Church.
These funds are used by me to build up the Church and further the work of the
Lord and the power and influence of Her Majesty the Queen Goddess throughout
the world.

'One of the blessings of membership Our Church is the privilege of paying
tithing. This privilege is a double blessing. By paying tithing, Church
members show their gratitude to God for their blessings and their resolve to
trust in the Lord rather than in material things. They also help further the
work of the Lord in the earth, blessing others of God's children with the
opportunity to learn of Him and grow in the gospel. That is why I insist you
pay 10 % of your income to the Church and I will ensure that every member of
the church pays tithes or else!

Through the prophet Malachi, the Lord declared:

"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine

house, and prove me now Herewith, smith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open

you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not

be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:10).

Tithing funds are always used for the Lord's purposes to build and maintain

temples and meetinghouses, to sustain missionary work, to educate Church

members, and to carry on the work of the Lord throughout the world.

'As you all know I carry a crop with steel thongs at all times which I have
used on members of the congregation I am a passionate and staunch believer in
Corporal Punishment and am quite prepared to use it on any parishioner! I am
actually passionate about flogging and inflicting punishment and inflicting
the most excruciating pain!'

'I am a convinced believer in the importance of pain and inflicting pain on
any disobedient or rebellious parishioner. Pain and suffering can help us to
learn important lessons in life.'

'Corporal Punishment was recorded as early as c. 10th Century BC in Book of

Proverbs attributed to Solomon:

'He that spared the rod hadeeth his son: but he that loveth him corrected him
betimes. Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the
rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul
from Hell.'

'A mother eagle in Nigeria forces her baby out of the nest to teach it to
fly.'

'Pain and suffering can bring about creativity, resourcefulness and courage.
Artists and composers sometimes do their greatest work during times of pain or
loss.'

'Pain and suffering can help us to comfort others who are going through
similar pain. This is the benefit of support groups for various problems.
People who have faced the same problems are able to help and encourage others.
John and Phyllis Clayton have been able to help others because of their
experience with diabetes and with a mentally retarded child. Jim McDaniel has
been able to help others because of his experience with a handicapped child. '

'Pain and suffering can help to shape our character. People who have survived
as prisoners of war or persecutions often have a strength of character which
is admired by others. Gold is refined by the fire which heats it until the
impurities come out. '

'Pain and suffering can test us to show what we are made of. The patriarch
Abraham was tested; Job, the ancient man of wealth was tested; the apostle
Peter was tested; and the early Christians were tested. In all cases the
testing showed the weaknesses and the strengths of their faith in God.
Products which are sold in the marketplace are put through tests to find their
weaknesses and to demonstrate their strengths.

'Pain and suffering can lead to repentance and salvation. Sometimes it takes
pain and suffering to turn a person's life around and head it in the right
direction'.

'The Israelites repented in times of persecution in the Old Testament. Which
describes the cycle which the Israelites when through as they forsook their
God only to be brought back to Him by suffering and then to forsake Him again
when times were good. In contrast to that the New Testament tells the
suffering which lead Saul the persecutor to become Paul the apostle, faithful
to his God until his dying breath.'

'Pain and suffering can sometimes help us to trust God. Perhaps we are forced

to turn to God because we have no other place to turn. There are numerous
people who have made the decision to trust God because of their pain and
suffering.

.

'Pain and suffering can have a Divine purpose in preparing us for glory.

The apostle Paul wrote that our suffering is "slight" and "momentary"

compared with "eternal glory'

Pain and suffering can prevent us from becoming dangerously proud.:

Paul said that his "thorn in the flesh" was to keep him from becoming

proud and arrogant.

'Sometimes pain and suffering in the life of one person can result in the
advancement of the Gospel in the life of another person. Example: I know a
family who accepted Christ because of the suffering of one member who died of
cancer. The apostle Paul said that his imprisonment helped to advance the
gospel.

'Pain and suffering can allow us to be like Jesus. Example: We are allowed to
share in Christ's suffering as we serve the one who suffered on our behalf.
SCRA

'Corporal punishment is a form of physical punishment that involves the
deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the
purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or
behaviour deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers to me as your Priestess
methodically striking the offender with my open hand or with an implement,
whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings.'

'I am a passionate believer in flogging and will use the following mercilessly
on any member of the congregation who infringes the rules. I have to tell you
that I actually have a God given need to flog and inflict pain Nothing else
clears my mind and refreshes me as much as flogging that involves me as your
Priestess repeatedly striking another hard with a whip or rod or birch.'

I will use the following tools on you at any time to inflict the most
excruciating agony;

The rod. A thin, flexible rod is often called a switch.

The birch, a number of strong, flexible branches of birch or similar wood,
bound together with twine into a single implement.

The rattan cane (not bamboo as it is often wrongly described). Much favoured

in the British Commonwealth for both school and judicial use.

The paddle, a flat wooden board with a handle, with or without holes

The strap. A leather strap with a number of tails at one end, called a teethe
whip, typically of leather. Varieties include the Russian knout and South
African samba, in addition to the scourge and the French martinet.

The cat o' nine tails was used in British naval discipline and as a judicial
and prison punishment.

The hairbrush and belt were traditionally used in the United States and
Britain as an implement for domestic spanking.

In the book In Defence of Flogging, Peter Moskos, an assistant Professor of
Law and former police officer, suggested that a long prison sentence can be
more inhumane than a flogging. Moskos believes that many criminals would elect
to receive a few lashes (under medical supervision), and questions whether
flogging should ever be an option. As reasons to consider such corporal
punishment, Moskos cited studies showing that higher rates of incarceration
have little effect on decreasing crime (e.g. the deterrence argument),] and
that the United States' incarceration rate is five times the world's average.
He further worried that most criminals are not the kinds who will need to be
kept out of society for the rest of their lives, and that prisons and
sentences rarely focus on realistic rehabilitation methods.

PREPARE FOR YOUR PAINFUL AND AGONISING PUNISHMENT!
