A Ban on Religion on a Worldwide Scale is
Imminently Approaching Enactment.

Well now that 911 is all but a fleeting memory for most Americans and the rest of the world (save
maybe Afganistan, Iraq, Iran, and Korea), America has now settled into more pressing issues
such as home economics.

Unemployment, foreclosures, and the high cost of living/gas etc. have taken the place of the
priorities of 2002 and 2003s overpatriotic air of being under the threat of physical attack by
„zealous religious jihadist fanatics.“

But if history (secular and biblical) has taught us anything it has shown us that in an instant things
can (and more than likely will) change when we least suspect or expect it.
With the woes of 911 it was easy to rally support for something you could more or less put your
finger on or point the finger at; namely „them“. The Commander and Chief helped define who
„them there “ were in no uncertain terms.

Todays woes of unemployment, housing foreclosures, soaring oil prices, has the „them theres“
located in a very undefinable gray zone, making it extremely difficult for most Americans to point
the finger at any one specific culprit. Unless though, the proverbial pointed finger of our present
admistration is aimed in the direction of a mirror.

So what now? America seeks its saviour in the next elected official to alleviate it of todays woes.
Yet lurking in the background, waiting in the wings, is something brewing that most of the world is
unaware of.

The UN stands at the threshold of swinging in one direction or the other on an issue that will
effect all who dwell on the face of earth. All that would be required to turn the tide would be
another event like 911.

The issue is: To support religion and the right to practice it, or to ban religion and to make it
illegal to practice or congregate for religious purposes.

Your first thought may be, „This could NEVER happen. It would go against every freedom on
which this country is based“. Well, don’t forget that in the immediate post 911 world the current
administration put the question of where to draw the line on freedom and safety up for grabs and
debate, and went to war for it. In the future something will turn the tide and more than likely there
will be no debate but ACTION; to ban religion .

So what is my point. The point is this:

Prepare yourself for the inevitable. Get the knowledge that leads to life while you still can. This
knowledge is found in the BIBLE. Search daily for the accurate knowledge found in Gods word
the Bible. You could perhaps start by reading the book of Proverbs for wisdom that withstands
the test of time. Wisdom that is written so that even a child can understand and grasp its written
illustrations. This will lead the way to understanding the rest of the 65 Books of the Bible and
acquiring WISDOM that will be more valuable than money when the coming adverse changing
times have COMPLETELY arrived.

And know this; that the Bible is the heralder of GOOD NEWS. Find out what the Good News is
and the requirements for being a part of it are, by reading the Bible daily. The book of Revelation
which tends to frighten most people completely out of their wits because of a lack of knowledge
and misinterpretation, states in its opening 3rd verse of the 1st chapter,

„HAPPY is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who observe
the things written in it, for the appointed time is near.“

Blasphemy in popular music will reign and take the place of curse word rap and hip-hop in the
coming decade.

This is something I know will happen based on the Bible and its prophesies and my power of
deduction. How can I be so sure that blasphemy will have a hit run in the music industry? After
all, most people with whom I have spoken and questioned on the subject (who have no Bible
knowledge) feel that like all music it is just a fad and sooner or later the public will not find curse
words put to music amusing. Wishful thinking I’d say!

For those of you who give clout to the words of the Bible let us examine 2 Timonthy 3: 1-5, 7, & 13
which reads:

„3:1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,

3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness,

4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

13 But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.“

Based upon the above warning about the attitudes of the multitude (majority of people) in the last
days, is it not logical to see how this could/will develop?
Also have you ever considered the very nature of the generations (parents and their children)?
Call to mind that of your own children.
I can most definatively see and hear the offspring of todays rap artists telling their parents, „Well,
you said ……… on record. I gotta, and will top that“.
I assure you it will be shocking the form their “topping it” will take.

In the 1980’s we had a heavy metal french group called Blaspheme.

The group didn’t get very far probably because 1) they refused to speak the language of the masses
which is of course English and 2) we were not at that time as deep into the last days of this system as we are now. Have a look at some of their track titles in the link. Looking at the
track titles should give you a clue in which direction things will very soon head in the music industry.
With the internet as the up and coming media of the 21st century (still in its infancy) it is the
perfect breeding ground for such work to surface and flourish. It may though come from another
source or veune. Time will tell!!!

As warned in the 13th verse of the above scripture, let us not be mislead by those leading the
masses to destruction. Take a stand and teach your children about the Bible and the Good News
for mankind who are obedient to God found within the pages of this great book.

As a recording artist I intend to be true to those who like clean music. Whether I am performing music of the dance, ballad, jazz, pop, r&b, big band, soul, or funk genre. My music is shaped by divine truth, but
is not expressed solely in the styles of Gospel and/or religious music only.

It will become increasingly more and more difficult to find supporters of untainted, clean and fun music so I ask you to support our Artists Fundraising Webathon Group.

GLOBAL WARMING WARNING Blog:
I have noticed a trend. Ice melting on the polar caps results in castostrophic
weather events and flooding. When news breaks about ice chunks seven times
the size of Manhatten Island in New York breaking away from the Antartica (as
was the case in March 200 or the North Pole, about 1 & 1/2 months later there
is a weather catastrophe somewhere in the world.
Do not be fooled by those denying that global warming exists. This is no
coincidence. These occurrences have reverberating effects. With the news of
Antartica; nearly a little over a month later came the news about the massive
cyclone and flooding of Burma.

Since having seen recent reports about the North Pole becoming ice free this summer I decided

to write this blog and put all on notice. That this being the case we can expect to see some

devastating occurances around the beginning to mid-August of 2008.

I beleive also it is going to be shocking as to where these castostrophic events takes place.
Don’t be surprised!!! Because of the extent of the melting of the north pole we could see stunning
weather events occuring before the beginning of August 2008!!!
WE HAVE ALL BEEN PUT ON NOTICE.

“Impressive High Energy Pop CD by a Talented Singer

“author: Ross and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

“Alone with You” by Clinton Strowder is an impressive high energy pop album by a very talented singer. The well polished production quality makes the tracks crisply pump out of your speakers. The album opens with the catchy ballad “Biography” where Clinton sings to the heavens. “Dream to be” is a great pop tune reminiscent of 80s pop stars such as Lionel Richie. The track features a great funk guitar scratch technique, which would put even “Superfly” himself to shame. The standout track is the album’s first single “First kiss” which is about that special first kiss between two passionate lovers. The track also features more funk elements with heavy slap bass to flow with the soulful melody. One of our favorite tracks is “Stay With Me” which features all the makings for a hit - group vocals, hand claps and a catchy beat to go along with the catchy chorus. Overall this is a great pop album which also features elements of soul, funk and even jazz. Be sure to check this one out, especially if you’re a fan of soulful pop artists such as Lionel Richie, Boys to Men and even Michael Jackson.

Are you tired of being bombarded by music that is not sensitive to your acute need for clean lyrics? Are you longing to hear lyrics in music that have feeling, meaning, and depth?

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS THEN:

Let’s begin to take our power back from those large and small record companies whose motto is „Blatant sex, curse word lyrics, and the corruption of music is good as long as it sells records.“

Of course music should be a fun experience . When, quality, depth, feeling, meaning, clarity, and fun powerfully come together and are expressed musically, that is what makes it an art that withstands the test of time.

A few months ago I began toying with the idea of recording a fan-funded CD. A platform where you (the buying public) help to support quality music(much like public radio or TV funding for quality programming), and I give you prizes for donations of certain amounts. Here’s what it’s all about & what you get when you donate:

DONATION LEVELS

* $10 - A free digital download of the album, when it’s released.

* $25 - An advance copy of the CD. Weeks before the masses.

* $50 - An advance copy and a”Thank You”on the CD.

* $100 - All the above, plus an extra bonus track material CD.

* $200 - A years free admission to my shows.

* $250 - All the above, plus a membership to the “Gold Star Producer’s Club,” which means you’ll get a secret password to a website where I’ll post some rough tracks, or… something worthwhile.

* $500 - This is where it gets good! At the end of my CD, I’ll do an instrumental track where I’ll mention your name and maybe rhyme with it. And if you don’t want your name used, you can give me a loved one’s instead. What a wonderful gift!

* $750 - Exactly like the previous level, but you donate more money.

* $1,000 - How would you like to have a theme song written for you? I’ll have a song you can put on your answering machine and show off. Again, this could be a gift.

* $2,500 – Mentioned as an executive producer of the album – whoo-wee…

* $5,000 — I will come and do a house concert for you. Invite your friends, serve some BBQ & refreshments, bring me out and I sing. Actually, this level is a smart choice economically. I’ve played many house concerts where the host has charged his guests and made his money back. I’d go for this one if I were you.

* $10,000 - You get to come and sing on my CD. Don’t worry if you can’t sing,we can fix that on our end. Also, you can always play the cowbell or the metronome if you’d prefer.

Being an interpreter of song, if you (donator) have material that meets with our quality control I will record it for the album (if it’s really good). You will receive writers credit and royalties of course.

TO MAKE A DONATION

You may also make a donation in form of a contact person who is willing to use their influence in the entertainment industry to help our artists careers. Simply submit a response at the bottom of the page.

I would like to raise $77,000 for recording and other related costs. I’ll keep you up to date on the tally (like the Jerry Lewis Telethon) and once I arrive at my goal, I’ll show you where the money is going. With your help I promise to make you an outstanding CD/Album.

Yours Truly,
