I'm Looking For Someone Who Can...

Dub my videos into:

1) Polish
2) Slovakian
3) Hungarian
4) Russian
5) Lithuanian
6) Belorussian
7) Czech (Moravian, specifically)
8) Hebrew

and/or

9) Yiddish

(Dad's side)

As for Mom's side, French, German, and Portuguese (and/or Hebrew and/or Ladino, in case Pop-Pop "McCoy" was a Sephardic Anusi--since he was born in Portugal during the Peninsular War and fled it by the time that he was two years old; and maybe Spanish) would be the main ones. I don't know how far you'd get with Irish (since Pop-Pop Farrell did speak it), Scottish, Walloonian and Flemish Belgian, and other languages; but you could try those, too (to reach out to the Pirongs and Meijerses, for example).

By the way, Spanish and French, German, and Italian would work for Dad's side, too; since there are Danilowicz and Andrulevicus cousins in Latin America, and a Fockova cousin in Switzerland.

I Actually Didn't Want To Think That Felix Mendelssohn Was A Believing Jew, But...

Alright; alright. I'll believe that Mendelssohn was a believing Jew. But I did read that he resisted "Mendelssohn" being used for "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". I did read that he expressly resisted it being used for religious purposes and that he may have resisted Christianity in secret. Then again, to say that a lot of believing Jews like myself have had problems with the rest of the Church over the years is fair. I guess that I just wanted to be careful & err on the side of that Mendelssohn was a Non-Messianic Crypto Jew so that I wasn't disappointed.

To know that Mendelssohn was a believing Jew (which Wikipedia of all places surprisingly states) is good. At least I know that I won't be disappointed and that I will meet Mendelssohn in Heaven after all. Coming from an Anusi background, I weirdly don't want to get my hopes up and think that certain Jews were fellow believers if they weren't. I also don't want to err toward and mislead Non Messianics when giving examples of Jews who actually believed. I can safely give Mendelssohn now, so that helps. I guess that I believed what revisionisms tried to imply that he didn't believe.

Too often is the case that (and a contention that I have is that) the Church tends to engage in revisionism as much as non believers. For example, we like to preach that the US was a Christian country. If we're honest, we'll say that it was sadly Desitic Unitarian. We also talk about the Crusades as this great Christian conquest when they were nothing more than Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic pogroms. I get that were in Laodicea, but that doesn't mean that we can fall away like everyone else. We as the Church have to be honest.

Besides, does being dishonest help Non-Believing Jews?

Two Problems...

1. I wasn't making reading Scripture a priority in the recently-better times. Thus was fulfilled, "When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you." (Deuteronomy 8:10) and "When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them; and they will provoke Me and break My covenant." (Deuteronomy 31:20) You can see in the Book of Jeremiah, too, how I was handed over to my persecutors because I did not make reading Scripture in better times a priority.
2. I have 140 followers and 517 friends on my regular page, 201 subscribers on YouTube, 469 Twitter followers, plenty of Blogger readers, etc. (if one doesn't account for duplicates). Yet, this isn't translating into "Likes" on my public page. Thus, I have a really-shaky support network and a don't-know-what-to-do conundrum in the more-private sphere. I can't accept every friend request in the world, yet I can't get enough "Likes" (headscratcher).

Problem #1 I'm working on fixing. Problems 2a and 2b are harder to fix without your help.

We Have To Stand Up To These Leftist "Professors", And...

I'm helping start the standing up to these "professors"--who are really being indoctrinators and dominators! Let's stand up, give examples of what we choose to stand against, and (if we have to and can do so without getting sued) even name names! Rightists and Moderates--Conservatives and Middle Roaders--stand up and fight back!

Analysis and Last Word After Krystal Keith Releases Her New Single

I actually started this analysis as comments on this YouTube video--of a version of a song which I hardly enjoy anymore, since I prefer the classic version now! I can hardly stomach this version; which, by the way and if one does not account for duplicates, has only 665,316 views at this time (11:00 PM EST on April 28, 2013). So, here's the analysis:

Some people might just think that she can't sing. What TK "Warriors" (and isn't it sad that they're not Jesus Warriors sad?) have a problem with is anyone criticizing their idol in any way shape, form, fashion, circumstance, and manner. That Krystal Keith cannot sing is a sentiment with which I disagree--and by the way, I was in my elementary, middle, and high school choirs. However, there was definitely too much Usheresqueness going on, on Krystal's part in the song to which I linked, 

Besides, both Toby and Krystal are jerks (and I've dealt with Krystal before and heard horror stories about Toby Keith). My problem is more with their personalities and their senses of self importance. My problem also continues to be Krystal's facade of her confidence in the length of her music career. I've blogged about this before (and, for this, have had the distinct honor of being blocked by both Mrs. Sandubrae and her worldly brother, by the way), and my continuing problem can be summed up as follows. 

She's: 1) using her dad's nom de celebree ("Keith") instead of her own name. 2) on her dad's record label (and her dad is also her producer). 3) let her dad write songs for her first album (should it actually ever become a worth-buying album, anyway). 4) released "Daddy, Dance With Me" as her first single--and which she wrote for her wedding. 5) touring with her dad. 

In light of all this and other factors  I suggested that she may not want to do all that and may want to make her own name. Did I get Hell for it! I was accused of being a Dixie Chicks fan by her and her crazy fan Denise Denis. Then she later complained in an article, "“I’m a completely different artist than he is, and I definitely want to have my own voice. I just want people to be at least open to listening to me with an open mind, and not just tagging me as soon as they hear my name.”"

So, I disagree with anyone who states that she can't sing. However, I will give you that she may as well pick up another job if you think that she should. After all, at least she is smart enough to know that she's probably not going to be in the music business for long--she has a degree in Communications with a Business emphasis from the University of Oklahoma; not in Music Business like Brad Paisley. So, I'll give her that she's smart enough to know that her music career will be short.

Therefore, months later, I recounted, "I got criticized for saying for how she's sabotaging her own music career by using her dad's stage name ("Keith"), being on her dad's record label, etc.. Then what do I see later? Herself promoting her debut single as a "father-daughter song" (There she goes again!) and, before that, complaining that she's her "own artist" in an interview that I read online. While I disagree that she isn't a good singer, I agree that she is just "Toby's daughter"."

By the way, I have no interest in listening to her first--perhaps (if one counts "Mockingbird") second--single. I will not give Krystal Keith one more view, penny, or other form of credence--and looking at her Facebook page and Twitter account to look at how many followers she has was giving her credence enough.

Patricia Evans' Power-Over and Personal-Power Models In My Own Life

While I've made no claim to be perfect in or right about every matter, person, and factor in life and the afterlife, I certainly--as Shemoth cited on Twitter today--am trying to do what David did. "Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." In his case, David was dealing with wiping out the Amalekites who had captured Ziklag. In my case, I'm dealing with people who are trying to use the Power-Over Model over me in every way that they can.

If you're one of those people, know who you are; be outraged; even want to stone me; but Yehovah is stronger than you and me alike. One or more of the following applies to you, and may Yehovah convict you for it:

1. You are a family member with some degree of seniority over me.
2. You are a person with some degree of authority over me.
3. You know that I am a Jew and a descendant of Jews, and of gentiles of Jewish descent. You may even be one of my ancestors or in at least one of the generations of at least one of them. 
4. You know that I am the descendant of Crypto Jews and do not hide that I am a bat-Anusim.
5. You know that I am a Messianic Jew and do not hide that I am Messianic.
6. You know that there is truth outside of the Written Word (the Scriptures), and that God is proven true both inside and outside of Scripture--or else He would not be Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent.
7. You know that I have Cerebral Palsy, OCD/Anxiety, MDD, ADD, and IBS.
8. You know that I am a survivor of abuse and have an otherwise-sordid--even though redeemable--family history. You may even be part of who affected or even caused the abuse and sordidness. 
9. You know that especially 1, 2, 7, and 8 can be used to try to control me. You may have even used 1, 2, 7, and 8 to try to control me (e.g., what I post--v.g.--on my Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts).
10. You hypocritically cite the Constitution--v.g., the First Amendment--and claim yourself to be a Constitutionalist and a conservative.

Firstly, let me cite Amendment Nine for you: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Secondly, let me cite the Scriptures (since you may, after all, claim that that's the place wherein truth lies): "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge." and "[I]f this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;  but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God." After all, the same Scriptures say that God did not call:

1. The righteous, but the sinners.
2. The well, but the sick.
3. The wise, but the foolish.
4. The scholars, but the unlearned.

Thirdly, more from the Scriptures will I cite! "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." Don't play games with me, by the way--I'm not talking about Social Security numbers, home addresses, or other information that only you and certain other people need to know. I'm talking about, e.g., what was done to Vilmosz and his side of the Rusnak family, and--idem. v.q.--what we escaped from by becoming Anusim and what others may not know is in the Talmud. 

Fourthly, I'm not done helping others just because I'm done helping quite a few of you. I've done my job, and trouble will not fall on my house, and "When my father and my mother forsake me, [t]hen the Lord will take care of me." I look to an eternal reward, and I can only imagine what you look to: at least, you look to only a little reward.

I've said my shalom. Now, so to speak, the ball's in your court. You can either try to keep having Power Over me or letting G-d have power over all of us.

A Flash To Dad, One Of My Mom's Brother's, and Granduncle Jim All In One Man's Face

He definitely looks at least a little like Granduncle Jim (Why the good brothers got the more-Jewish looks is beyond me. I think that Pop-Pop is not as recognizably Jewish as his two living achim tovim. Then again, maybe it's not beyond me: since they love and seek Yehovah, they got the features of our people more--and, if the AncestryDNA tests are anywhere near accurate, why Dad got a small amount of Jewish atDNA.). I also see one of my mom's brothers (and let's be fair that, that could come from the Siedenburg-Mueller Pundts, and he does have Mom-Mom's nose; but Grandddady could well be Jewish through "John McCoy"--I am still looking). I also saw Dad (and maybe I should Kaddish for Dad, too; but I feel more sorry for the man now than angry at him anymore--after all, e.g., he did take the DNA test and check with Grandma to see if any known relatives in Boston are okay).

By the way, RIP, Granddaddy--I'll meet you someday.

I found this picture of Pop-Pop on Ancestry. He looks so much like Judah "Jude" here (I hate that Shelley and Judah's dad named him after his dad, and that his dad kept the name "Jude" in the first place, by the way--using that name after the Shoah [and both of us were born in the '90s] is not smart. And I guess that my name being "Nicole", since St. Nicholas was an Anti Semite, is a bit of a problem, too.).

This is my mom's brother's photo that he contributed to the family tree. I should get some more photos from him (Hint, hint to a certain uncle.) and Mom.
