Amy in Washington gets the John Fischer book! Yes. Hope you enjoy it.

Been off the blog recently, so I'll jump right in. Amy's email made me actually want to hop on!

Here's the creepy quote for the day:

“June 14, 2000 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) -- While most of the music produced by Majesty Music of Greenville, South Carolina (headed up by Ron and Shelly Hamilton), is excellent, we must warn that some of the newer recordings are moving in a contemporary direction. This is particularly true of the newer Patch the Pirate children’s tapes.

The Mount Zion Marathon tape for example, has a song titled "Lazy Bones," which is certainly akin to rock music. It uses a syncopated rhythm with a heavy, synthesized bass. The music would be right at home in a nightclub or a sleazy Broadway play and could easily conjure up such unwholesome images as that of a saucy woman sauntering across a stage. Though it is tame compared to much of the standard CCM fare today, Patch the Pirate’s "Lazy Bones" will help develop an appetite in children for worldly music.”

This part was my particular favorite:

"The music would be right at home in a nightclub or a sleazy Broadway play and could easily conjure up such unwholesome images as that of a saucy woman sauntering across a stage."

Gross! This guy needs to clean up his mind if children's music brings such thoughts to his dirty brain. I swear, this mentality brings a dirty mindset to completely innocent activity. And why isn't it okay for Patch the Pirate to "conjure up such wholesome images" but it's fine for Cloud to just come right out and say it! What's the difference?

I honestly feel sorry for a guy that's got such a sexual mindset he can even walk the street without feeling tempted. Let's take a moment to pray for David Cloud.

I'm serious!
