Slavery for Amish women & children

 

When Amish Eyes are Crying Part II 

{This concerns not only Amish but some of the Anabaptist sects as well. They are all slightly different but have much in common}

Now to what they LACK.  Their publicity is so powerful re their good points that the bad pointed out is few & far between. It seems most journalists want to focus on their ‘quaintness’: ancient customs, self reliance, being off grid, using horse & buggies, no phones, no internet {in most cases-Hutterites use all the regular modern conveniences} no TV – no machines. How they dress {so cute!} Why the men have long beards but no mustaches - the list goes on. It’s HUMAN INTEREST STORIES - but I want to get to the LACK OF FREEDOM for women & children & the LOW ENRICHMENT {experience} problem. And the lack of individual identity, personal pride or uniqueness {which they consider sin}, conditions for naïveté, lack of civil liberties, human rights, & LACK OF PROTECTION / SAFETY of women & children from the men. Whew! Where do I start?

 Let’s start with ENRICHMENT for the women. Seek out SPORTS for females & I see sports for males – baseball, football, jockey, skating. And after a long search I do find females AXE THROWING! Lol – it’s a GOOD START!

As a girl growing up I was lucky enough to have a brother nearly 3 years older. We did badminton, baseball, bow & arrows {home made!} – Wrestling, downhill sledding, horseshoe throwing, croquet – with occasional bouts of beating one another up. That was all spring to autumn. When visiting my aunt & uncle {long visits that stretched to weeks} they had all the indoor / table games: Chinese checkers, all kinds card games, regular checkers, monopoly – which we did a lot of after vigorous outdoor activities.

Now Amish have a dearth of relatives & females could do likewise, but in the study of their videos on You tube I found NONE of this. They did take walks in the woods & there’s a lot of outdoor time – good – but not vigorous sports for the women except the mentioned axe throwing which I suspect is rare.

Looking back I think my competitiveness with brother – seeing I was as strong & skilled or more so than him- even though he was older – helped compel me to promote female body building against the men that lorded over us & framed us as bimbos admiring them. My ploy succeeded & female body building was established.

And so I can see where females should not only be encouraged to play sports with each other but with males, thereby gaining courage over them, seeing that they can be as strong & skilled – not being afraid of them - & until the guys get the advantage of testosterone we can hold our own, but after that nature plays a trick on us. {The female body builders offset that problem, however, by taking the same drugs they take & now they get as muscular as men.}

I take a hint for our New Order, that the females, which I already explained elsewhere, should be geared toward lots of strenuous sports if they are so inclined. To that I would include lessons in martial arts, judo, wrestling – things that will some day protect them from predators – as well as body building. 

Now lets get to THE ARTS. That includes music, dancing, acting, public speaking, singing, playing musical instruments, circus acts like juggling & acrobatics, other items. These people have NO such activities – they are frowned upon They are not allowed musical instruments {pride they say} & so their miserable, tone deaf songs & choirs are a burden to listen to. No one plays the piano or guitar or drums to accompany the songs.

In my Order we will have teachers to guide the youth in whatever area they might be talented. We will have recitals / shows to demonstrate their achievements. The Anabaptists miss out on the great stars hidden within their midst – people with great voices or musical talent – those who can act, dance or create any type of art or artisan-style products {including cooking.} A terrible waste of talents God might have given them. We will encourage this, we aren’t afraid of a little natural pride or self respect; we aren’t all called to be hermits, recluses & self negating saints. There is some normalcy here & there without reverting to sin. And those who want to REFRAIN from any of this & lead other kinds of lives are also welcome – to each her own, we give FREEDOM!

I predict that our Order will eventually be famous for its show business prowess. We will have PUBLIC & PRIVATE events. We could have a TRAVELLING SHOW that tours the United States & world that promotes who we are - the best of our prodigies. But I also suggest we hold contests that can only be PRIVATE & it just might add to our MYSTERY. But private they must be – I say – because we don’t want to be to familiar with this world that DOES have lots of demons, as the Amish say {lol} so like this: The foundress won the Miss Nude Universe Contest in 1967 – the shindig was depicted in PLAYBOY with 6 images of Rasa, then called Kellie Everts.

We hold this contest IN THE NUDE just as it was in real life – except those that want to cover somewhat will be free to do so – in real life it was a nudist camp. {We do need to stay as close as possible to the real deal.} So the contestants – all should be adults – pose in the nude & our judges pick the Queen. But the IMAGES of the Queen will not be shown to the public NUDE – she might wear a thin BODY SUIT – not a bikini as that looks too ordinary – but a body suit somewhat sheer, like thick stockings, showing how beautiful her body is but not nude to the public. And the title she will receive is MISS NUDE RELIGION.

This demonstration of nudity will help dispel the Patriarchal notion that nudity – which is associated with sex & sensuality – is EVIL. It will speak that nudity is normal, natural & God-given – those who condemn it have no foundation on which to stand except the words of men. There is no logic whatever to say that nudity is anti God.

We can also hold a Body Beautiful contest which can be PUBLIC & a BODY BUILDING contest also public, in honor of Rasa’s contest that she won & also her being the ‘Progenitor of Female Body Building.’

Besides that, why not throw in a tradition strip contest – as Rasa was a go-go dancer & stripper for 21 years. This in the classical burlesque style which Rasa portrayed - she will have to explain it or if possible teach it in person, a tradition that should be nurtured & carried on like the book ‘This Was Burlesque’ & it has a FORMULA & should remain a classical art form as is classical ballet, classical flamenco & other arts, which are frozen in time to be the way they were forever – a certain way done, not another way not turning into something else.

On another note, there should be no censorship in the Order. I know the Anabaptists are strict about this because they feel the outside world is CORRUPTION – infringement on one’s spirituality, tempting members to leave their Faith, polluting their religious beliefs. They see it all in negative terms. But I see that unless one sees other choices, ideas, faiths, religions, POV’S – then how is one making a decision rather than being brainwashed & forced into one view? We should not cover the eyes of Members like horses with blinders where they can only see one route ahead.

Our Order will have Powerful POV’s concerning the equality of Jesus & Mary – that Christianity is a form of Buddhism – Jesus being a reincarnation of a Buddhist Guru. We also believe in Female Superiority & that they should run the family & the world, we believe in Matriarchy. Against the Patriarchs, we disagree that sex outside of marriage is a sin. We feel that sexual freedom for women is the cornerstone of their complete liberation – that’s why men fight so strongly against it.

That being said – our members will not be forced to believe every word we preach. We want those who believe it, but there will be no force & no censorship toward books or what they see on the internet. We want those who believe willingly in our Cause – if they don’t – OK, we don’t want programmed or brainwashed members; we want those who accept our views freely.

 There will be different degrees of membership, those who are full believers can move into the highest strata & become Priestesses, teachers, officers & elders – the ones who might be on the fence or believe some but not all our ways can participate but not with all the privileges such as free education in dozens of venues for themselves & {maybe} their children.

We believe whole heartedly that God speaks to the INDIVIDUAL & maps out a plan, a strategy & a road for each one of us – that we are all different & must evolve according to the Will of God. If I had been stifled or forced to remain a Catholic I would not be speaking as I am today – I would not have become the Stripper for God, would not have been a Cougar or really, most of the things I did re sex & nudity would be condemned by Christian Churches. I could not have been the woman I am today had I stayed in any Patriarchal Church as they are all against my lifestyle.

In fact, & this is paramount – Had I remained in society as Patriarchy advises I could not have composed the Church I represent - & my destiny is unusual & completely AGAINST Patriarchy: Our new motto or trademark is “We are the Religion of Sex!”

There’s more to say in Part III – Let’s see if William or Pete have comments.   {End}  Rasa Von Werder
