Introducing....The Seeker, a Shadowland web comic.

This is the case of a foolish young woman, enamored by fame, who went along with things, later regrets it and seeks to avoid her own accountability.

Manson did crazy things. I have no doubt he took advantage of her. But left-hand path ideology demands strict accountability from yourself and others, and a Satanic rock-star living on the edge isn't going to have much sympathy for "but I'm only 18."

All I hear from her is blame and excuses.

You did those things, Evan. You maybe didn't like all of them - but you did them anyway.

No one cares but you. Move on.

@RadioactiveIM3 @CnservativeMrmn ewwwww cringe.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@appyobliged That is a truly awful, hellish crime and God will hold her accountable.

@iamnyct0n01r Don't worry about standing out. Focus on the girl you want and go get her.

@RightWingDad So if enough people point the finger at you, that should be the standard of proving guilt, is that it?

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@RealWokeRight @teachrobotslove I know maybe you think you're making some point by shaming her, but you're really just being an asshole, and Jesus would agree.

Be like Jesus, don't be an asshole.

@kiffboet @TRHLofficial How?

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@Trespas20755680 @ThoughtfulSaint Quite a few, yes - that I can poke a lot of holes in, though.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@kiffboet @TRHLofficial Innocent until proven guilty is the standard.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@covfefe_is @ThoughtfulSaint No.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@rebecca09478433 @ThoughtfulSaint I know it's shocking.

I've given it a lot of pondering and prayer.

It makes sense to me and I arrived at those ideas in ways that fit the pattern of how prayer is answered.

@jkdavis89 Oof, yes, that was a very cringe letter.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@Femzyr0 Never before has "pics or it didn't happen" been more relevant and true.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@kiffboet @TRHLofficial No, you are.

The point is that the state got away with convicting someone with no proof or evidence, which means you're next.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@theneutrinoswan @ldsabuse Just researched it a long time ago after I heard the rumor.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@BreannaMorello This is horrible not just for Russell Brand - but for every person by means of the precedent this sets.

Absolutely egregious. Everyone's rights have been violated.

[Shadowland - News/Culture/Spirit @ShadowlandBlog]

@CerebralCereal0 @ThoughtfulSaint So you can judge her heart?

Only the Lord can do that accurately.

Let's look at the covenant. It says: "The law of chastity - which is that you will have no sexual relations except with you spouse to whom you are legally and lawfully wed."

Let's also observe the fact that "sexual relations" is incredibly vague and that the Brethren changed the wording of the covenant more than once, and it did alter the entire meaning. This is not insignificant in scope.

Let's then ask this question - how does a corrupt, changing government of man have any bearing or say-so on an eternal, unchanging covenant with the God of all Creation?

(It doesn't.)

Let's then ask what "legal" means. It is obviously "legal" to marry someone and get official recognition from the government of that marriage. But it is also "legal" to marry someone according to your own will and consider yourself married to that person without a document from the government recognizing it.

Let's then ask what "lawful" means. Christ said there are only 2 great commandments - to love God and love others, and upon these hang the LAW. Meaning all commandments are meant to serve these two principles. Commandments can be, as you know, temporary and conditional and often serve as guardrails, the trespassing of them themselves not always being the exact sin.

Let's then look at the word "wed." What does "wed" mean? It means bound together. Intertwined. Made one.

When people have sex - are they not bound together, intertwined and made one? Are they not "wed?" L

In fact, when people get married, don't people say the marriage isn't "consummated" (that is, made real) until the couple....has sex?

It's almost as if SEX is the thing that makes people WED.

And it's almost as if, if you really think about the covenant, it really isn't a restriction on sex at all, but a reiteration that you simply be pure in your sex.

The outer facade looks like a strict stipulation - and for people who don't ponder it, that's how they take it. And it's meant to be that way.

But that doesn't mean there isn't a higher law that is hiding in plain sight for those who have eyes to see.
