In The Pines

In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
Where we go running when we want to hide
Away from the sky away from the light
Where the overgrown branches conceal what's inside
In the pines in the pines
Where I take my bride

No place is darker
And no place more still
We make love in the pines
In the shadow of the hill
I'm left with your name
I'm left with your form
Left with your scent
Even left with your moans
And I'm left in this fine and private place
In the pines in the pines
We meet face to face

In the pines in the pines
Where the sun never shines
Where we go running when we want to hide
Away from the sky away from the light
Where the overgrown branches conceal what's inside
In the pines in the pines
Where I take my bride.

In the pines, in the pines, where we make love all the time. A radical Christian group has said they will demonstrate outside Heath Ledger's apartment or his funeral; allegedly for his role in promoting homosexuality in Brokeback Mountain, a movie I particularly loved; and the group at believe it or not God Hates Fags dot com, have gone down like a lead balloon in Australia, where no one could care less who did what to whom. Australia has always been a free wheeling country, and while the left like to blather on endlessly about tolerance, in the end creating their own tyranny of diversity that has kept us captured locked down and free of independent thought, locked in the mines. Here in the Communist Republic of Australia, they would have been shut down long ago for vilification.

The Vilification laws have gone too far here, jailing Christian priests, for instance, who have dared to say that Islam is a violent religion, but the bile these people are putting out defies belief.

In the pines, love all the time, sun dappled on his long lean body, those afternoons at his parents house; and now, 30 years later, with our souls and our bodies falling apart from age; these fond memories replay like love poems, conscience gone and love lost; blond pubic hair and flat stomachs, the ache that was to settle into the heart of our being not even a glimmer on the horizon. Our craziness, those wonderful bars, his PhD on the Cactus Patch in Adelaide, The Glamour and the Grot: Towards an Ethnography of the Gay Bars of Adelaide; all the nights where we partied into the dawn and alcoholism hadn't even been thought of, when I went walking through the deserted nurseries in the Adelaide hills, picking daffodils and jonquils to sell around the office blocks, often alone, sometimes with a partner in crime. I was always thinking of ingenious ways to make money. I was always happy. Where I take my bride.

I didn't know, I had no idea, these would be the happiest days of my life. It was all about the future, the things that we would do, the books I would write, the careers we would build. In these days when everything was an adventure; when no one could resist, when the room gasped on entry and the attention was his due, when he went south looking for love; under the trees along the banks of the Torrens, when even the Christian boys who held back finally succumbed; when it was an easy, automatic thing, after the chaos and decay of Sydney, to retreat here to the City of Churches, Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, then even more isolated, afloat on a different island, than it is today. It was a 20 hour drive across the corner of the country, through the Riverina and the Hay plains, and there was always company, he was always wanted. And he was seeking love, there in the unsophisticated, uncorrupted south, where the boys had never sold themselves and the looks weren't those knowing, diseased, not well dear looks of the Sydney queens, but fresh faced and handsome, open in the dry heat; grasping pleasure he was happy to provide.

The Australia he knew was entirely different to the one that played out in the mainstream; and there could be nothing wrong with the honestness of our desire. Before he grew old, in the pines, in the pines.

THE BIGGER STORY:

Hard to believe:

www.godhatesfags.com

Established in 1955 by Pastor Fred Phelps, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas still exists today as an Old School (or, Primitive) Baptist Church. We adhere to the teachings of the Bible, preach against all form of sin (e.g., fornication, adultery [including divorce and remarriage], sodomy), and insist that the sovereignty of God and the doctrines of grace be taught and expounded publicly to all men. These doctrines of grace were well summed up by John Calvin in his 5 points of Calvinism: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. Although these doctrines are almost universally hated today, they were once loved and believed. Even though the Arminian lies that "God loves everyone" and "Jesus died for everyone" are being taught from nearly every pulpit in this generation, this hasn't always been the case. If you are in a church that supposedly believes the Bible, and you are hearing these lies, then your church doesn't teach what the Bible teaches. If you care about your never-dying soul, you will carefully read every word of this web site, along with the entire Bible.

WBC engages in daily peaceful sidewalk demonstrations opposing the homosexual lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. We display large, colorful signs containing Bible words and sentiments, including: GOD HATES FAGS, FAGS HATE GOD, AIDS CURES FAGS, THANK GOD FOR AIDS, FAGS BURN IN HELL, GOD IS NOT MOCKED, FAGS ARE NATURE FREAKS, GOD GAVE FAGS UP, NO SPECIAL LAWS FOR FAGS, FAGS DOOM NATIONS, THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS, FAG TROOPS, GOD BLEW UP THE TROOPS, GOD HATES AMERICA, AMERICA IS DOOMED, THE WORLD IS DOOMED...




Perceiving the modern militant homosexual movement to pose a clear and present danger to the survival of America, exposing our nation to the wrath of God as in 1898 B.C. at Sodom and Gomorrah, WBC has conducted over 33,000 such demonstrations since June, 1991, at homosexual parades and other events, including funerals of impenitent sodomites (like Matthew Shepard) and over 200 military funerals of troops whom God has killed in Iraq/Afghanistan in righteous judgment against an evil nation. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled that we must respect sodomy. WBC teams have picketed all over the United States, and internationally (including Canada, Jordan and Iraq). The unique picketing ministry of Westboro Baptist Church has received international attention, and WBC believes this gospel message to be this world's last hope. .


Here's some of the stuff from their picketing of soldier's funerals:

St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church 100 Bishop Manogue Dr. St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church 100 Bishop Manogue Dr. This is for the funeral of Army Sgt. Sean M. Gaul. Buried with the burial of an ass, all of these soldiers are bowing down to the Sword because they have taken fire into their bosom and mixed gall- POISON- into the Cup of God's Fury, which they are drinking heavily (Jeremiah 25:15-16). You can't fight for a nation of fags and their enablers without the Wrath of God, without "knowing the Judgment of God" (Romans 1:32). Deuteronomy 29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood (POISON!); Deuteronomy 32:32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall (POISON!, their clusters are bitter: Job 20:11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. 12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; 13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: 14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the GALL of asps within him. 15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. 16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. 17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. 18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. 19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; 20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. 21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. Psalms 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: America is Doomed, for going the way of Sodom and Gomorrah, and it shall be worse for America than it will be for the Sodomites, to wit: Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Amen.

01/26/2008 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Jacksonville, NC Camp Lejeune Lejeune Blvd & Hargett St. This nation is full of angry rebels against the Lord God of Hosts. These marines are a microcosm of those rebels. You kill, rape, commit adultery, serve every filthy lust, worship a rag-tag, bloody, fag-flag, and in the same breath demand God bless you. How arrogant are you! You are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah! You had them for an example, who were destroyed in flaming fire and "suffer[ed] the vengeance of eternal fire", and yet you continue in your stiffnecked persecution of God's Prophets, the humble servants of God at Westboro Baptist Church. God has given you the dead marine girl, and that rapist/murderer, and that other freak who is soliticing sex with a 16-year-old minor! There is nothing you freaks will not do! There is no moral compass, moral decency; it's all out the window, and because you have violently persecuted us, God is blowing you up with I.E.D.s. Praise God, for his mercies endureth forever. Amen.
