December 14, 2007 journal, must we have any religion and be branded to be recognized. Most people are thought of by the church or the nomination of doctrine they affiliate with. If you don't go to church not even the banker will trust you. You must wear that religious veil to be somebody. So then, what good is religion other than having earthly favoritism. Favoritism is what the Masonic Lodge provides. Take no oaths at all to the devil period. I am moving along on the Revelation Now II painting for Union University, Jackson Tn. the show opens generous sack at with the reception February 7th. I have many faults and if that's what you're looking for I am your man so look no further. Christians look for good in people blessing themselves and others with a positive attitude. The definition of a cult is, to worship a man/woman or man made doctrine, in adoration. There seems to be some of that in every church I have ever seen. Until one turns loose to know God and to worship God only through Christ our savior. Yesu Christ is divine. I had an MRI and they told me they were going to put an IV in my arm and inject a material that will show up my bloodstream on the video screen. I rejected their offer but they did not tell me that it was radiation they were about to inject. Now the maker of this nuclear radiation in Canada has a problem and cannot deliver the radiation to our medical industry. There are some things good that are happening and we need more knowledge. December 17, 2007 journal, the stock market is down around the world as I predicted. I am no prophet. I think everyone knows this gambling casino in the Big Apple is near finish. What I predicted in my journal for years now the entire world is saying about war. What I predicted in my journals thought about the stock market since I painted the crash in 1996 is happening now. The news commentators just don't know what the problem is. They have not ask the average person on the street who probably does know what the problem is. Russia is supplying Iran with nuclear materials ignoring the objection of the clowns in Washington. Things that are going to happen are going to happen no matter what. The video tapes of torture were destroyed even though violating a court order to preserve them. Perhaps the penalty for destruction of tapes is less than it is for torture. Congress approved a $500 billion spending bill which has a bit of pork for everybody. They say its spending taxpayers money but that's not true, tax payers money is already spent paying interest on the national debt. What they're spending amounts to new debt. It does not matter anymore what they do because we have past the point of no return. Wheat has hit $10 per bushel because everybody is growing corn for fuel. The natural disasters has destroyed the corn crops in many countries of the world and food short. Ron Paul is accelerating with the people but not in the polls which do not bother to list. The Magna Carter is being sold which seems to be the heart and soul with the Catholic Church. I am writing a book about the Magna Carta with all land barons were given freedom in a handwritten document signed by King John 1215 A D with the Knights of Columbus Catholic fraternity where in the crown was technically transferred to Rome. Mike Huckaby speaks out in a Christmas commercial on television wishing people well and creating a firestorm of protest that must be coming from the ACLU against Christ. Mormon Mitt Romney is going into a frenzy. Huckaby is responding very well for the first time I have heard him really talk saying he is not the average politician in bed with Wall Street and with the offshore bank account. cheering him on convinces me that there is more to halt will be that I first thought. I feel more comfortable with him now al though Ron Paul was on television for one hour making more sense saying the income-tax needs to be abolished which was invoked in 1913 with the Federal Reserve" as their collectors. We pay their salaries up by tax money but they actually collect for the Federal Reserve. The income tax is killing America and the states set up to copy this procedure rob people. China products are suddenly costing 35 percent more with the Red China Morning up 11 1/2% + all causes to increase including lead testing of most all products exported having color or paint. The entire world is in crisis and there will be massive thirst and starvation. Christmas is a public federal holiday in America and the ACLU will truly change all that soon as they years ago took Christ out of Christmas making it Xmas & now the holidays. The head of the United States is not Washington but it is in New York, Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is not federal nor is it a reserve rather it is the so-called central bank. The Rothschild economic system dominates America but it is now crumbling worldwide. Dear Sally the difference is that they respect their parents! Shea butter is what I use to put on my lips from the health food store trying to get away from petroleum Vaseline. if you have any photos of my table with a beer bottle which I use as a prope please block it out because I would not want anyone to think i drink beer which I never have not even one drop. You know from my journals my position on alcohol and tobacco being deadly. I will not pursue what the neurologists termed as a spiked protein in my blood which she said is a precursor for leukemia because I asked what the treatment would be and she said chemotherapy but not the kind that you lose your hair. I do not trust any chemo treatment. she said it may be dormant anyway and that they may decide not to treat it. if that be the case then nothing is lost but even if it is positive I would elect not to take the treatment. I am not fearing death or anticipating it but in any case I prefer to die a natural death and not a chemical one. I can only envision life and not death except for others who abuse their bodies. it seems to me that the biggest abuse is violating laws of God particularly the 10 Commandments. The second biggest cause of death seems to be obesity and especially in America with fast junk food largely fried potatoes. 24 percent of American children eat fried potatoes, I mean to say that reportedly 24% of childrens food is fried potatos which are Fried in vegetable oil which is leached out of the vegetables by solvents then the poison solvents are distilled back out but not 100%. this is hydrogenated oil and produced at extremely high temperature. you can quote me on this in the book if you will. you know now all about my electric look technique and I hope you can benefit from it. I want this to be your book expressing how you feel about my art because your description is the most beautiful I have heard and complete. the former art director at North green-ville College discovered my work when Colleen was her art student. Colleen was seeing this disgusting art being produced daily had some sort of distaste for it and one Monday morning she went into Class and there was literally a truck load of my art covering the art center. Deanna Bland was the art director before Jim craft and she told me that there was in all only about five artist, she held up 5 fingers, in the world in history that painted like me or that I paint like them and she mentioned van Gogh as one of the five. I tell you this not for bragging or boasting but for the facts of what happened and what I have heard since I begin painting. I gave her one of my paintings 4x5 ft. and it was largely pink color with birds on limbs. she was herself an artist and I have wondered why so many artists love and acquire my work more than the general public. so many things to recall. as I traveled north out of Myrtle Beach on 17 I saw a art gallery in the woods on the right side in North Carolina near Wilmington and stopped & showed my work to the lady and her friend from New York both artist painting there. they both said it had changed their life/art instantly to see my work. I've never heard from them again so I guess they either forgot about it or just did not stay in touch. To my knowledge the visit never helped me any but it may have helped them and it helped me to know that they were impressed. Many times people have ask me to demonstrate or teach painting but I always refuse. I do better painting alone although I am not paranoid or barricaded like bottoms suggest. You see there is no lock on the door never has been and Colleen or Marc put up a no entry sign of the tower for good reason to keep guest of the House from wandering off. In time all the thorns in the flesh seen to minimize or disappear. Dear Sally-I must be quick to say that Norbert Kox is much more researched than me. Norbert never makes a statement about Bible or secular until he is sure of the source. he said to me recently that we do work together well and inspire each other. Norbert is advanced in Bible code and Greek / Hebrew. Norbert was raised Catholic and I was raised Protestant. I think we bring major issues to the table from both. It is unfair for bottoms who knows nothing to say or imply that I'm some kind of clone of Norbert's. I think we have learned something from each other but I have learned more from norbert than he has me. I do feel awfully dumb and insufficient to paint Biblical prophecy. Hardly any denomination remains generic as they were envisioned or formed and the same is true for Christian colleges. Harvard used to be called Holy Harvard. today, universities are stacked with atheist teaching evolution. I speak in this paragraph of the Protestant church because the Catholic church is sat in stone or better to say Iron as is depicted in the dream of king Nebuchadnezzar which was interpreted by the prophet Daniel of the Old Testament depicting the 4 great empires from Babylon to Rome. dear Sally-this is special days for me having you here and I am learning so much from you. I know you will accomplish your goals in describing my art in the most wonderful way. Nothing shall stand in the way of total success and nobody can do it so well as you. sensitive subjects need to be discussed to give me a more sure footing. Sometimes I feel under the gun with Norbert and I do not trouble him with my journals partly because I actually fear to read his reaction to some of them even though we generally agree on everything and he is right on most things. I suppose we all naturally try to avoid changing or rethinking our positions treat. Please forgive me if I say something uneducated. I am blessed and nothing else is important. it is my Christian duty to be content within the framework while troubles come and go daily. I was commissioned to paint a scene for a friend and he allowed me the liberty to decide what I painted from an article out of a magazine he found. it is not on line but it is in photos here on my desk that go back to the beginning. I painted a man standing on the earth and interacting with the universe for where ever he happen to be, he was successful. When I went into the army I was sent to Fort Jackson South Carolina for basic training in a company with mostly northern guys. I did not know the meaning of the word prejudice until then when I was ridiculed for simply being from the South. If I had any Southern accent I lost it quickly. I began to feel inferior and second-class not wanting to be a part of society. It was then that my relationship grew to marriage to my dearest sweet heart who seemingly could solve every problem and she did. My greatest earthly treasures and blessing came freely. I believe bottoms committed a crime in the book, many crimes and that the book colorful apocalypse is the key if we find it. bottoms was exhibiting his ha-t-e for us. there may be some state laws like the Philadelphia 6 arrested for carrying signs against gays. Last year in Sweden a baptist preacher was imprisoned for preaching against sodomy according to the Bible . The one big subject has been on my mind all night and I could not wait to write about it. I am confused on the h-a-t-e crimes issue. Is it law or is it pending in Congress? Will you please set me Straight. I have elaborated on this with Norbert and he proved me wrong that there was any legislation governing it. If the present bill passes which has already passed the House of Representatives with a 98 percent approval, it will be the end of the freedom of speech in this country which this country is all about. This Bill could also criminalize my journals and my art. Ultimately such a law will be used politically against opposition making it a crime to criticize your president or vice president. Remember the artists at the Honolulu fence? He told me if everybody had unconditional love, there would be no war and he is right. i went back to the hotel and painted that on a small canvas and everybody wanted it. please do not allow anything to interfere with the vision you have to write about my art because it is all-important to reach the world with the missing description of my art. When the art is shown it reaches the hearts of the people even though the museum's and universities do often show it for the art alone, the spiritual comes through ever so bright. thank you for coming, it means so much to me. Random thoughts-I get used to being blessed out for doing good. Being told to shut up at breakfast, a shut up all day. Sometimes I feel like a dog just here for food. although I cannot live in the wild its more important to save the ship by sticking with it. I'm happy to have my freedom upstairs but nothing is truly done in secret. They find many faults in me and if you are here long they will find fault in you. Sometimes I feel like running away. The name or label of Christian is worthless without a change of heart permanent. the true Christian life is manifested automatically in ones countenance. If you can convey the feeling you say my art has on you then you will have a masterpiece book. it's out of the fire that gold is purified. Dear Sally-thanks for coming. you bless us with your presence. Please make yourself at home here always and feel free to raid the refrigerator anytime you feel hungry. good luck. even take a nap on the third floorsofa. enjoy the easy chairs in the school building. I have realized more through the years I have been painting since that 1989 hiwaii experience that the art is much more and bigger than me. It's not much about me, it is more about what happens through me. Many times I feel I have very little control of my artwork. I cannot explain how I do it. traditionally artists make statements and many times they suffer for it. A picture is worth a thousand words. I'm not fighting any battles, just telling what I think is truth and painting the scene that I see daily and often feel. I must do small paintings and I also want to paint the Berlin Wall. please feel no pressure to be controlled on what to write. Just write the good and the bad in my work. write what you see in my work. stay here forever. You have a marvelous endless vocabulary and when you apply that to my art it is like music to my ears. As I told you, I gave up trying to market my art and let it find its own level. Some people may pick up on opposition here but that may be the driving force. Some writers have exploited certain phrases like " rage art ". Seldom has anyone really set out to destroy it other than the colorful one and he is getting his reward in failure and being branded a liar. while I want to set the record straight I do not want to dwell on it. this is the happiest time of my life and the first time I have looked back to see the art its self. I value my journals and love to read them. My friend in Douglas Arizona Frank Bruno tells me he reads them all night when I sent him a group of journals. I am thankful for my life and appreciate my parents bringing me into this world and taking care of me. Unfortunately I'm mixed up with the church, that is to say I am alienated from the church, otherwise, I would be in compliance with compromise to my true faith. You might say I am an independent Christian. The last people on earth that will show my work is the church. That is one of my great disappointments in my venture into art which I have had no control of, its a state of mind. I think because I must get it out of me onto canvas and that is essentially why I write the journal. please feel free to use any of my art in your book and any of my journals or excerpts from them. everything I have painted or written since 1989 is an open book and has been online for all to see because it is my ministry. thanks to my wonderful wife for tolerating me and my art and my weird I dea's through difficult times. she supplies my needs and I have many needs. We must be forgiving and contribute to a better world beginning at home. We know it may not achieve perfection until this earth is renewed.-William another day and another round of inspiration in meditation. this is my first attempt writing fiction, it may be about Greg bottoms or it may be about some other people but in any case is my impression of something that is happening for real. xxxxxxxxx this is no Christian housexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Satan has attacked me as much as ever before when I was about to paint somethingxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx strange things began to happenxxxxxxxxxxxx Satan works through people to confuse and destroy the true message which is godly. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx l wasso happy when she came home and fixed by dinner, the site of her was pleasing andxxxx friendly but then she started her stuff and I was sickened and dis-sturbgusted. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I went upstairs to work but I could not perform. It was coldxxxxxxxxxx and I soon went to bedxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx after midnight I got up to go to the bathroomxxxx xxxx and I had this strange fallxxxxxxxxxx hitting my head, my face hit the floorxx xxxx and my lip was bleedingxxxxxxxxxxx. you're not the first to weep but it is confirming the invisible message in my work. Wording for my Revelation Now II is creeping through as I meditate. I had another bad dream it was a daymare not a nightmare. I dreamed that this awful man came rushing near me emitting semi physical visual darts like spears in the eyes viciously. I kept waiting for him to run past me but he seemed to keep approaching but never quite running over me but he kept on going toward me at a rapid speed and I could see into his brain that it was a mass of snakes giving off bad odors that was coming out his ears and nostrils. There was sounds of sufferings like screams out of hell and Satan seemed to be convuling giving me a hopeless feeling as he seemed to be rooting for my space. There were golden colors with red and green. His eyes were twinkling with hazel colors and I could feel his dragon breath flowing over every inch of my body. there was such a great thunderous power that rose up within me that was not of me or not coming from my own body. suddenly there was silence and the monster had disappeared with no traces of him. His mind was so tormented and feeding off of dung that was invested. I could remember the spewing sound but there was suddenly a holy silence and peace all around me. I did not want this story told but felt that someone should know because there are no secrets.
