The "Really" File - ("privileged professionals" as Mermaids)

 The Fallen state of mankind.....

 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; Psalm 73:12

"As reported by The Associated Press, “mermaiding” subculture is
making a monstrous splash.

The outlet profiles Queen Pangke Tabora, who’s made the transition to life under the sea. In 2019, the former insurance company employee put on a pair of fins and was hooked.

 

[Queen Pangke describes] the experience of gliding under water, half-human and half-fish, as “meditation in motion.” … “The world outside is really noisy, and you will find peace under water.”

 

For the transgender Filipina woman approaching middle age, seeing her legs encased in vibrant scaly-looking neoprene…was the

realization of a childhood dream. “The feeling was mermai-zing,” [Queen Pangke] said one recent morning while lounging in a fiery red tail on a rocky beach south of Manila, where she now teaches mermaiding and freediving full-time.

 

Across the world, there are thousands more merfolk like her — at its simplest, humans of all shapes, genders and backgrounds who enjoy dressing up as mermaids. In recent years, a growing number have gleefully flocked to mermaid conventions and competitions, formed local groups called “pods,” launched mermaid magazines and poured their savings into a multimillion-dollar mermaid tail industry.

 

When mermaiding first started to catch on, most tails for sale were custom-made silicone creations that weigh up to 50 pounds, cost upwards of $6,000 and take a surprising amount of time and lubricant to wrestle into. But over the past few years, the increasing availability of cheaper, lighter fabric options — some of which sell for less than $100 — has transformed the mermaiding community from an exclusive enclave for privileged professionals into an achievable dream for the wider public.

 

It is…inspiring to (transgender) merfolk like Che Monique, the

Washington, D.C.-based founder of the Society of Fat Mermaids, which promotes body-positive mermaiding. “I’m a 300-pound Black mermaid in America over 35, and hopefully that tells somebody they can do whatever they want to do,” says Monique, whose group sells shirts that read ‘Fat mermaids make waves’ and ‘Gender is fluid under the sea.’

 

Mermaid Nymphia grew up as a male-presenting child of the 1990s,

and gender norms dashed her dream of dressing up as her idol, Ariel. Years later, as an adult transgender woman, her dream was finally realized when her mother helped her sew her first mermaid costume. “With transgender and nonbinary merfolk, they often connect with that mentality where you’re not quite sure which world you belong in, but you’re able to be this alluring creature of the sea and live as your most authentic self,” Nymphia says. “I know a lot of people who have found their gender identity, myself included, through mermaiding.”

 

 “As transgender, it’s a transition,” [Queen Pangke] says. “It’s like in the sea, everything evolves.” Redstate

On the Streets of Babylon: Mermaid Spirit Exorcisms on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be "Mermaid Spirit Exorcisms" on the Streets of Babylon...

 

"Daniel Adams is the founder of The Supernatural Life which bills

itself as “a national and international movement that birthed through Daniel Adams on YouTube” that believes in “showing people how to do the same supernatural works Jesus did while here on earth and pushing them into their God-given destinies!” 

At a recent revivalist event, he encountered a young girl who allegedly had a demon inside her needing to be exorcised. After talking to her, Adams ‘discovers’ she has a ‘Mermaid Spirit’ that she got from watching ‘scary mermaid videos on YouTube and as a result, could not speak.

It’s unsurprising that he’d label it that, as nothing makes a charismatic happier than being able to name a newly-discovered demon after some zoon animal. 

Adams then gives the verbal cue so the girl pretending to be demon-possessed at the instruction of her spiritually abusive parents know when to act as if the spirit has come and gone casts out the demon, causing it to flee, to the cheers of all involved." Protestia

IN the NEWS - DNC Convention: Gender-transcendent Mermaid?

I have seen the foolish taking root... Job 5:3
"Moderator Diego Sanchez hosted a live panel on Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention Convention, inviting several

guests to discuss the topic of Raising up Transgendered Youth and Young Adults, including one panelist which identifies as a “Transgender Non-Binary/Gender-transcendent Mermaid Queen-King” who is also an ordained minister.

During the panel, Sanchez first asked Jenny Vu Mai, the aforementioned mermaid, what the newly licensed minister learned in Divinity School and what she would have missed if she hadn’t attended. She replied:

Something that I would have missed if I chose a different path is that some of the holiest people, and the people who most resemble what God looks like to me are black trans folk and in particular black trans women…

 

When the DNC moderator asked her what sort of questions persons of color, trans, and non-binary youth are asking in this day and age, Mai was adamant that the very existence of the police and prisons were bewildering to teens, who thought they ought to be abolished.

 

When asked by another interviewer how her identity as

transgendered and non-binary affected her faith and practice, Mai was…confusing.

I identify as somewhat Christian but also somewhat agnostic. I perceive the binary between Christian or not Christian like I perceive gender to be a false binary. There are so many nuances of what it means to be Christian, what it means to be a non-binary Christian….

In that sense, she is a perfect representative of the Democratic Party, and it is not surprising in the least that the DNC featured her as a guest."

Creation Moment 7/11/2020 - De Maillet is a Good Comparison for Darwin

 If someone believes in Darwinism...why wouldn't you believe in the nonsense of mermaids as possible?

"In 1860 Richard Owen criticized Darwin by comparing his ‘imaginative temperament’ to that of De Maillet (who had suggested that human beings may have evolved from mermen and mermaids)."
