I think it's already Sunday Downunder, right?

And that was a terrific post. I believe I'm back in church!

So I've got an "Amen"!!

Thanks, Bemused.

Yes it is Sunday down here. And I agree with everything Bemused said. Raz, you are a wonderful caring genuine Christian. My inbox only had one message in it when I disappeared for some time, it was from you.

Now to clear up a little matter. I Aussie from Beyond the Black Stump, am not and never was an Australian. For some of us there are people in our unfortunate past who we fear if they learn our identity will retaliate. We are not all as brave as Bemused who anyone can figure out who he is and who speaks honestly and from the heart without much fear for his own safety. Some of us have gone to elaborate lengths to make sure very few know who we really are. PNG was a field with some seriously violent men and what they did to us and the locals still haunts us.
However with the arrest this week and the pictures of one pervert in jail looking absolutely pathetic, the tide has turned and it is not us victims who are scared any more, but NTMs long list of offenders, because it is blatantly obvious to all but the really thick, that this is just the tip of the ICEberg and that in all likelihood there will be more arrests. It will be interesting to see which missionaries suddenly find that their god is telling them that they should not go on furlough for a long time and that they are suddenly called to stay on the field. Which will be a dead giveaway that they are shit scared of being met at the airport by a welcoming committee of very official looking people with the power to arrest, detain and ask some very hard questions.

So now you are all thinking, now if Aussie is not an Aussie, where is Aussie from. Well you will have to sit quietly, behave and be nice to each other, while I keep you in suspense.

Aussie fears no more
The fear is on the other side
You can run, you can fly
But from justice you cannot hide

Someone got their man
More surely they will get
Aussie can relax a bit
At the casting of the net

Well, well, well. An Aussie who is not an Aussie, fancy that. Of course I already knew, you're far to smart to be an Aussie and we all know that on this site real Aussies are few and far between.

So you must be a Canadian, right .

I agree, some of the men (and a few women) in PNG were violent and memories of them are not pleasant. But as you say, the tide has turned and no doubt they are the ones with much more fear now. Bad news travels fast and it will have rocked many people with pasts they would rather were not looked into.

What I've figured out is that NTMers won't take on someone who argues a case with strength and passion. I have had very few messages from Tribers, taking me to task for my outspokenness. It probably also helps that I'm out of reach to almost anyone and my whereabouts are a complete mystery to the geographically uninitiated and who wants to take on an Agnostic anyway.

Right my good International friend, the sun is rising and I need to go and see what this wintry day has in store for me, but judging by the sound of rain on the roof, probably very little and I could be in for an inside day, so I'll be back rather shortly.
