To my adoring flock..let me clear my throat
Mass 10/25/05
Introduction
Dear followers of the cloth; Welcome to the first sermon of this relatively new parish-The Rakus Blacklodge. Erected out of the darkest of human times (June, 2005-germany), and serving as a beacon of freedom and spiritual inspiration to people of all nationalities, creed and color (but mainly to women). The lodge, over time has given hope to literally millions of lost souls. (The original translation and numbers have been lost…..modern estimates reflect a number closer to two lost souls-one being the author and the other being the sole reader of this sermon).
Sermon Entitled:
LIKE A VIRGIN TOUCHED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
There is time for profound reflection, secret depths of the soul yearn for feeling and misery must be cast aside. The mighty storm may crash and I may thrash this thing I call a woman in my bed. These are normal feelings, feelings that revert back to a time almost forgotten. A time when America the beautiful was just working up the nerve to take on the world, and its men were ready to get a piece. Sweet American pie……tail……..chicks…….women by any other name. A tale as old as time-a tale called desire. Now, you may be sitting back in your pews wondering the point of this rant…yes- you would rather be watching the big game, tossing shoes with the boys or working or your new wheels……but you remember desire-don’t you. A young man’s quest for that perfect piece of the pie, a drunken act- a thing called love? Fuck love-America wasn’t build on love…..it was born on the backs of hard working American teens and they’re love of the game. Cruising the strip in your whip, or tossing a stripper a tip-it’s all the same when you really dive into the inter workings of the act. Now, desire, by all reason is the only device by which young people have to conquer this cruel and uncaring world. A cheap thrill by which to forge a new destiny and by which to grow in the knowledge of teen pregnancy……….sure this church doesn’t approve of these acts. But, be mindful…. tender love is no love when you’re dwelling in the boundaries of the bunk I call home.
Now, you may be saying to yourself-how do I find forgiveness for these acts….this sin? Mail a personnel check for $24.95 to Reverend Rakus
Closing ceremony
"Sin is nothingness, and this soul is completely stricken and frightened by her horrible faults"-Marguerite Porete. The Mirror of Simple Souls 1310
And all of Rakus’s people said Amen.

look for your answers somewhere else....
Reverend,
Im a big fan, and ive got a mate whos into the same sort of music i am, so i
played him a couple of tracks from Tomorrow Come Today.
Bathory's Sainthood is one of my favourite songs, so i played that.
Now, being a pretty religious catholic he refuses to listen to the band because
he believed the lyrics of Bathory's to be blasphemous.
Not being at all religious i never really though of it like that, but it did
pique my interest.
So, could you tell us a little about what exactly the song is about?
Cheers,
Mav

first off...i'm not sure what the hell this song is about......so there's you're answer...i was ask nate......i mean..i do ghost write a lot of the lyrics and music(well-just the good songs) but they did some how manage to do this by themself-i wouldn't say it's blasphemy-i mean they are preachers sons.....but if they're anything like the "preacher's daughter" from that NWA SONG---i would be scared.
chris rakus-------i move water and walk on it..........well i get drunk at least.

October Church Bulletin 2005
The first of many rakus sermons to come is in the works--a short sweet piece entitled "like a vigin-touched for the very first time"-it's a very early american take on the workings of young desire and the dirty deeds that accompany it....i would like to call it a small masterpiece-------biblical in scale with a touch of brown sugar---hmmmmmmm brown sugar--you know what I mean.
and all of Rakus' people said AMEN

earth's changing surface isn't that cool-island addition
I miss going to a show and listening to live music at a venue. I'm hoping to move back to the states (and off this paradise island) to be able to drive crosscountry to see a BSF concert. I missed the TX date...well, frankly because I move to the island. I will be visiting this beautiful website. By the by, I'm glad the BSF site is back up!
I suppose i should ask a question pertaining to love of some sort? So here it goes. I love my sister's family and appreciate their hospitality and living rent free in their house for the past 6 months, but I'm terribly miserble. I love my nephew and niece as well, they're so cool. But, I'm 28, and I've never been able to count on family for support or guidence. Besides, I was their reminder of their damned union and pathetic lives. Would it be selfish of me to give up the "happy family" act and just continue my journey in self indulgence? :(
ok........boy sets fire didn't play texas...may be they did and didn't take me..bastards. anyways------fuck it ..if your unhappy..you can come stay with me if you would like-------but i don't make out ...............ever. I like to spoon only-everyone else that says different is a liar......fucking liars. I say that you get up and get going..find out what makes you happy and do it...if it involves giving up the "happy family" so be it. just say thanks--it obvious you mean it..and move on...-but don't take it from me..i'm always miserable....my beer is gone.....and i never do anything that will or should or ever will make me happy....yeah-bad english-NOT FIXING IT....
yours....chris rakus---i think i like to talk to girls--is that wrong

long messages for short attention spans..i have a real job you know.
dear Mr rakus.
If I understood everything right, you are something what we call in Germany a KUMMERKASTEN. that means that i can ask you if i have any problems. so i`m writing to you now. because i`ve got the biggest problem that I`ve ever had. Please excuse my english, i think it`s not the best.
The story is about my girlfriend, or better to say my ex-girlfriend. But you have to know that i still love her more than i ever loved a person and i`ve already had a few girlfriends. i was together with her for nearly exactly 1 year and four months. i`m sure that this was the best time i ever had, except from the last weeks.
The story is so long and i don`t know where to begin. I think it`s very suitable to start with bsf. They are my absolute favourite band and i really love them. As i came together, Lena did not know them. But she liked rock music and by the time she liked boysetsfire more and more and they became what we called `our`band. And UNSPOKEN REQUEST became and to me still is OUR SONG!!! We also went together to a bsf gig, that was in frankfurt. So listening to bsf will always make me remember this wonderfull girl. Everytime i hear them and mostly Unspoken Request i begin to cry like a small boy and can`t stop it. it`s so bad. I am afraid of myself i don`t know if i can manage this situation. i still love this girl so much!
ouh, you don`t know how i lost her: Ok. We had the best time that a couple could have for at least 1 year and two month. i really did everything for her. I drove her around, i paid for the cinema and when we were out, i did everything i could everything! And she did also. it was such a wonderfull time i cannot describe it by words. but i think a person who has ever been really in love knows what i mean.
but by the time, it baegan i think 2 months ago, the situation changed. she stopped to give me what i call `items of love`. she did not want to kiss me any more and so on. i talked to her about it and she realised it but she said she did not know where it came from. I think that i`ve lost her to a group of persons which she admires like gods. a few guys who seem to be cool and who are admired just for being themselves. i hate them! and she wants to be a part of this group. i think i am not longer her perfect boyfriend. she wants to have another one. she says that this is not true but i think she lies to me. she says that she still likes me and wants to be a friend of mine, but i am afraid of meeting her. surely i will cry and i know that if i see her with one of those guys i will knock him down or something. everybody say that i should try to forget her, but this is really impossible, our relationship was to strong and there are two many things that remember me of her.
So my question to you is: how can i manage this situation, how can i have a normal relationship to her and how can i protect her from these suckers? i am so afraid that in the near future one of them will do her bad things. you know what i mean. because these persons don`t care about girls.
i hope to get a helping answer from you. i could tell you much more about her, those fuckers, me and everything else. but i think this would be too much for that frame! THANK YOU!!!
Christoph
dearest christoph...thank you for taking the time to write me, i appreciate it. ok.....long letters keep pouring in...but I definently feel your pain..... i probably would just give her the distance that she wants and let her go off and do her own thing...this didn't work for me ....when i was destroyed once, but you're just going to make her angry if you persist in hanging out all the time and trying to get back together with her. It will just make her angry to feel so much pressure-that what i'm saying..hell hopefully she will relize that she is wrong, and that all those guys should get the fuck kicked out of them...(we'll get to that).....so just wait....as for those guys ..fuck them make it known that their dicks...it might make her mad....but at least your disrespecting them (cause they deserve it) and not her. all in all I would get wasted for two years..thats what I did..........write back if ya need a little more help....
rev. chris rakus----so serious.
my beer is almost done.,
