I give below a link to the text of a message from my friend, the Rev Shay Cullen. He has been for many years a missionary on the largest of the Philippine islands. He has a splendid reecord of rescuing and rehabilitating children and young people trapped in prostitution, or at risk of abuse. He has successfully prosecuted some sex tourists, including paedophiles.

I reflect on these things too but I’m of an age now where these drives are not as intense as they once were. Our civilisation is built on the laws of Leviticus but one by one they’re being undermined as the wickedness that created them re-establishes itself.
The Holy See is fortunate in having the Pope Emeritus as a friend to take his guidance and confession; God has clearly acted to strengthen his church in the face of such iniquity.
I blame the world’s democracies and their bureaucrats who now embark on a crusade to destroy faith of any kind.
If the religious were to tell their faithful that God requires them to embark on a holy mission, to go to the polls on election day and vote but they should not return a sitting MP. Instead they should return somebody new to Parliament. If the new intake does not repeal that which offends God then 5 years hence they should go to the polls once more and remove them too. This cycle should continue until the God fearing repeal that which offends God.
If you think its bad now it once was much worse especially in Egypt.
Leviticus 18:30 explains why:

“Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.”
God will provide a remedy even if he has to destroy us all.
Thank you for putting up the message of Rev. Cullen. It’s a timely way of thinking as we go further into the ‘bond’ or ‘tied’ form of employment.
We have had this form of serfdom in the UK for centuries and it’s becoming very popular again with the influx of a super rich from countries that have never left the practice of human ownership. My understanding of this bedroom tax or penalty, devised through Duncan smith, was as a result of him being unable to find cheap tied labour on his estates. I read workers rejected his offer of pay as rent on one of his cottages and he became incensed at their having an alternative to this practice of slavery. This, coupled with the law that tells the poor seeking housing, they cannot be housed by the state if they make themselves deliberately homeless by leaving such a position, keeps them indentured for what could be an eternity. It is simply slavery by another name and supported by government.

And those who are hungry have no alternative but prostitution if they want to survive. So, children become easy targets for those who want to use their bodies for sex.

And the Panorama documentary. Is anything being done?

I guess lord Hylton is on the committee run by the Rt Hon Frank Field, which takes that name and which I attended some weeks ago. The implications are deep and sinister, and yet somehow in these islands it seems impossible that such a thing could exist.
I dont think it is entirely out of order for me to say so, but Frank was one of the last probationary teachers in my Late father’s school in 1964, and Lady Maddocks, on the committee too, is I suspect, the sister of two girls with whom I attended my late mother’s private primary school in the 1950s.
I sat there in the committee and listened intently to the musings of my soul. Frank was the best probationer and so were the Maddocks the cleverest pupils!
