the New Order Forbids

What is Forbidden in the New Order 2-9-24

 

Abortion:  Is not recommended but not forbidden.  We will do what we can to discourage a Member from this.  But in extreme cases, such as rape or danger to health, it is accepted.  If a Member doesn’t want to take care of a child, she can ask the Order to adopt it & know it will be well cared for.

 

Vaccines:  Never.  No preventive shots of any kind are allowed in our religion.  If one is in the hospital & has to have injections for legit medical reasons, it’s allowed.  But no vaccines purported to prevent this or that, ever. 

 

TV – computers, smart phones, cell phones, land lines & the like:  This will be a sticky subject at times, which our Elders might have to vote on to set the standards.

          Basically, we are NOT like the Amish, Mennonites & Hutterites who want to cut themselves off from the world almost completely.  They’re strongly self reliant but tremendous freedoms & privacy are taken away from their members. {Example:  Can’t be gay! – for Heaven’s sake, 20% of the population is gay or bisexual – forbidding it does not change their orientation!}

With the Hutterites, grown men have to report to the leader every time they wish to go to town off the premises – they have to have a legit reason!  No lollygaggin’, they might do something against the rules – like go to a hooker, get some weed, go to a forbidden movie, or just window shop or be relaxed in the town park!  Not sure if the adult women ever leave the community – do the men do all the shopping or are Hutterite women permitted to go out?  Amish for sure, women do go shopping, some once a week.  If the stores are too far away for the horse & buggy – say 30 miles or more, they use taxies - {They are not allowed to drive vehicles.}

          Mennonites/Amish/Hutterites are not allowed TV or cell phones being caught could lead to ex-communication! In some cases, they are permitted cell phones but only for business – nothing else - {which is a bit strange – A cell phone is most convenient for emergencies, such as breakdowns on the road – or to communicate with the house to check on kids or find out about a purchase.}

          I look upon these sects with jaundiced eyes, as they are Patriarchal.  Most of the interviews with those who represent them are MEN.  Women seldom speak, when a male & female are present, the male does all the talking.  They are Patriarchs trying to get away from the mainstream Patriarchy – why?  Possibly, to have more of a corporate control over women – as I hear NO BIRTH CONTROL.  They provide everything but condoms:  food, clothes, {the Hutterites raise battery chickens who never see the light of day.  Supposedly Christians, they aren’t very Christian to ‘the least of these.’}

          These ‘H’ people as I said, provide everything within the community so the members don’t have to step outside.  In all 3 Sects there are strict clothing rules.  You go to a store that sells material, only certain kinds, some attractive, all conservative.  Light color for the young, dark for married women.  The women have to sew & make the dresses & all the clothing!  Skirts have to be 8” off the floor, the cap has to be tied a certain way, all the men wear standard pants, most with suspenders, & all members wear hats – mostly straw hats.  The women Mennonites have wide-brimmed white hats with wide ribbons & large bows of various colors.  And the hats with their dresses, they look stylish compared to the average grunge on the street.

 

          Bottom line re media, communication with modern gadgets & other inventions:  We do not have to forfeit these; in fact, we will use them & media {computers} for our benefit.  These are not to be used for luxury – we don’t believe in luxury – but for convenience, education, work, & spreading our Gospel.

 

          What do we do that is like these people but different?  We are not attempting to leave the world behind but to change ourselves from within – starting with beliefs.  We are in the world but ‘not of it’, not limited by it.  Our MINDS are not with Patriarchs – but why do we have to forfeit modern conveniences & inventions along with Patriarchy? On the spiritual side, we do not focus on material things – God is first, the material world is for survival,– we don’t need luxury & media that take our minds & hearts off the Infinite.  Our dictums ‘Love the Lord they God with all thy heart, soul & mind,’ – ‘God is a jealous God,’ ‘Put first the Kingdom of God & all shall be added unto you.’

          That being said, we will not raise all saints, though hopefully many – it will not be 100% home runs.  Some will trudge through our Matriarchy ‘the way of all flesh,’ & have to reach Enlightenment in a future lifetime – but they might bear progeny who’ll make it & do a great deal of good for the world……

           

Our Order is a family led by a benevolent Mother – the Leader & her hierarchy of ‘Aunties’ or Officers.

The Sects spoken of don’t quite ‘make sense.’  It’s kind of like throwing the baby out with the bath water.  OK, so the world is corrupt.  Do you make it less so by using horses instead of cars, eliminating modern conveniences?  {I also like the romanticism of that - & we will eventually have homestead dwellings, where we live ‘off the grid’ with possibly some conveniences – we will not make life drudgery for these women but will do what we can to live ‘self reliant’, albeit, it has to be hard work.  A horse, a cow & calf, a goat or sheep, chickens, a garden, a community house within our village where we meet up, etc.

 {My idea is to have a number of houses, say eight, off the grid.  Within the community is a large barn where all the members house their animals, & also a large common house that is ON THE GRID.  Within the grid house are several washing machines & dryers & one or more bathrooms where the members can take a HOT BATH. This house has CENTRAL HEATING plus a large fireplace where women & kids can gather for stories, talks & out loud readings.} It will have a KITCHEN & a large dining area with tables with ample seating.  The off-grid homes have no hot water so laundry & bathing facilities are rough.  There will be large fields with hay for our animals, woods where we harvest trees for firewood & plenty space for wild herbs & weeds for goats - grass for sheep.  We can use scythes, the primitive way of harvesting wheat, or tractors.

All this is aside from the Main Mother God Center, convent, Temple, cafeteria, which will be visited at least once weekly, usually more for education, conferences, Elder’s meetings & recreation, especially if one has kids.} ……

 

Does a woman sewing her own clothes make the world less corrupt?  How about using the old-fashioned washing machine, which takes a lot of time compared to the modern ones?

{How it works:  You have to crank the clothes inside with the handle to make them go round & round – this takes strength, time & energy.  Then you have to push them through rollers to get the sudsy water out.  Then you have to put them in again, with clear water.  Round & round.  Then wring them out again, one by one.  And this has to be either outside – winter? – or in some spot where the water can drain out. Then you have to hang them up on a line! – No dryer.  Is the world a better place because I spent 3 hours with laundry instead of 15 minutes?}

Of course, there is NO DIVORCE so any unhappy woman whose man is abusing her or molesting the children hasn’t got a way out. Indeed, this is the same’ole’ same ole’ nature – men are dominating, using, exploiting, abusing, calling the shots, making the rules, while women are back & forth from the bed to the kitchen, to the laundry & sewing room, cleaning floors of the kitchen & cafeteria on their hands & knees {saw this in the Hutterite documentary} – being told who they are & what to do.  How is this different from the corruption of the world?  What corruption has been left out?  Yes, they have religious education & pray before meals.  But other than that, they enforce the same Patriarchal mind set.  And their religion is misogynistic of course, the man rules, speaks, dominates – all that. - The Gospel of St. Paul.

And why no birth control or condoms?  For the same reason there are no condoms sold in theocratic Muslim countries – for the same reason Catholics forbid birth control.  They are using women’s breeding capacity to swell up their numbers.  After all, no woman will join them voluntarily with their fukked up rules – unless she’s been beaten & thrown out in the street – they cannot attract members that way.  They have to create them.  Women breed to make more Patriarchs.

On the other hand, we will breed for ourselves.  We can make children, they can’t.  We keep the children.  Matriarchy, not Patriarchy, expands.

 

Bottom line:  What did the Mennonites-Amish-Hutterites originally leave behind or get rid of?  They are part of the Protestant Reformation, & Schisms from Anabaptists.

 

Mennonites  1525:

In nearly five centuries of their history Mennonites have pioneered many geographic frontiers. Originating in Switzerland, but named after Dutch theologian Menno Simons, Mennonites are the direct heirs of the sixteenth-century Anabaptist tradition.

 

 Amish:  1693

The Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Mennonite Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish.

 

1528, German Tyrol

The Hutterite movement itself began in 1528 when some two hundred Anabaptists, led by Jacob Wiedemann, left Nicholsburg, Moravia, and embraced communal living.

Hutterite, member of the Hutterian Brethren, a branch of the Anabaptist movement, originally from Austria and South Germany, whose members found refuge from persecution in Moravia. It stressed community of goods on the model of the primitive church in Jerusalem detailed in Acts of the Apostles 2:41–47 and 4:32–37

 

Anabaptists:

.

 “The Anabaptist family includes Amish, Bruderhof, Hutterites, Mennonites, and other groups. Although we all share many commonalities, one defining feature is our shared belief in adult baptism (believers' baptism), dating back 500 years to the Schleitheim Confession, during the Radical Reformation of the 16th century”………………….

 

Bottom line:  These people left behind something & gained a new belief.  What does this Matriarchal Order leave behind & gain?

 

We forfeit Patriarchy & its Agenda.  We gain our own minds, hearts & souls, worshiping God in a new way – the way of the Mother.

Therefore, we need to know this new religion which worships like we do, sees God within us clearly & absolutely & that we have no need of male domination, its religions or beliefs.  We forfeit the Patriarchal culture / tyranny over women.  We free ourselves, first, in our minds, & the rest follows.

There needs to be reams of debate & discussion on this:  Who we are, what we stand for, what we are going to do.  It begins officially with ‘The New Religion” – in the book “Woman, Thou Art God.”

And it continues with the writings that explain what we intend to do with our New Order.  These are composed by Rasa Von Werder, William Bond & Pete Jackson.

 

Forbidden & encouraged FOOD wise:

 

Soda – Never served in the convent or our gatherings.  Not recommended in the private dwellings.

 

Junk Food, sweets & candy, bakery sweets & ice cream:  Holidays only – Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving & birthdays.  We make our own sweets & desserts (cake frostings made with butter & sugar or whipped heavy cream) which are healthy & don’t contain chemicals.  We use fruits – fresh fruit cakes & pies {made with cut up fruits with minimal sugar if any}, yogurt mixed with fruit & sugar, frozen, instead of ice cream.

 We allow sweets mostly for kids, adults are discouraged from too much sugar as its not nutritive, but kids can throw it off & crave sugar because they are growing.  Desserts for the kids will be available every dinner in our cafeteria, amended desserts for the adults.  For example, a fruit cup is given to all –the kids get whipped cream or sweet yogurt {yogurt with sugar} on top if they wish– the adults encouraged to eat only the fruit especially if they wish to stay normal weight. We’ll help those who are obese if they wish it not by harassing but suggesting better culinary ways.  Our chef will bear in mind health as much as good taste – standards will be enforced. Fresh fruit & vegetables for snacks will be available all day – fruits, carrots, celery & raw plant foods, & children especially will be encouraged to eat them for their health & good habits.

 

Red Meat:  Only on Holidays & birthdays.  Christmas, Easter & Thanksgiving being our main holidays.  Red meat is cattle, sheep & goats.  These animals know when they are going to slaughter & they suffer. Chickens can be killed fast, before they even know what happened, so they suffer minimally, only in being grabbed.  I lived on a farm – the roosters were picked off for each Sunday dinner.  You cannot have too many roosters as they fight each other to the death.

 Pork is NEVER to be served, not even on Holidays, because the Founder has a special place in her heart for pigs.  We can serve it in trace amounts as bits in commercial soups which might be mixed in with our home made soups at times -  & when camping or outdoor grilling, hot dogs are allowed.  But we will serve no bacon, pork chops, any kind of pork in our cafeteria or gatherings.  It’s not a rule for those who live in private dwellings, only a request by the Founder.

 

No street drugs are permitted to Members on & off premises – this includes marijuana.  If any Member uses drugs or suggests same to another Member, it must be reported to the staff.  If the Member does not stop this activity, they can be excommunicated & asked to leave our community.  The same goes for alcohol – only those of legal age can drink it in our community.
