Japanese Man Seeks to Marry in Two Dimensions
Date: 2008 November 1st Saturday [14:59] | Posted By: Spike
"A Japanese man has launched an online petition to allow the legal marriage of fictional characters. Taichi Takashita has started the online petition to allow himself to marry an undisclosed Manga character and has requested an amazing one million other people to follow suit by signing up.
Full Story
Taichi has stated that "I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world" although he has not disclosed how he intends to accomplish this. While marriage is in decline in Japan, it is still only possible for a man and woman to marry. Therefore even though same-sex marriage is forbidden, this petition seeks to allow marriage to so called "virtual idols", anime, and manga characters, and characters from other media as well. We can only assume a big run on Lara Croft proposals then..."
Hey guys the above article is weird but this is the mind that has entered the Japanese Nation you can have online Anime girl friends; and well without the Moral compass of a Creator that gives life purpose this makes sense. When you have no rules to live by why would you want a Creator programed human unit to tell you what to do? Love doesn't exist it is the realm of lust. Even in the movie Wall-e he falls for a similar robotic unit. So Kermy can truly be married to Miss Piggy. I can see potential in this but also great problems. Divorce court will take on a whole new meaning could you imagine the Tasmanian Devil trying to settle with Wonder Woman?
Anime Marriage is well back to Romans one. God just gives them over to a depraved life. He still loves the soul but just lets them indulge their sin. And they are found in the end of life without excuse. Pray that we can have the opportunity to convince the people of Japan that the Moral Compass of Jesus Christ is the greatest adventure a Human can embark upon and it is multidimensional. For we are not Citizens of this world. Amen
Even the Burger places here in Japan get into the Merry Christmas idea sort of.... One of the chains of fast food burgers, which I have only eaten twice since being here, has changed their name for the season. The MOS burger chain is now the XMOS burger. You can get the gobo and carrot burger with Rice patty buns and no meat it is just fabulously terrible. Hey can't sell the burgers let's market the name.
While we were in California we went in for Jane's 4 year old check up she had to get 5 shots. OUCH! She didn't cry. While we were there we had to all get flu shots. Who is that hiding behind Jane under the counter. Nathan doesn't like shots. He was brave... a little...Hmm we're fine now. Rachel our transplant "I can take anything" hero thinks its a little funny.
Well we got back Friday and Saturday night we went to CC Tokorozawa for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a packed house and we had a great time sharing with so many who came. Pray for Shingo who I shared the gospel with but he wasn't convinced he needed a Savior. Seeds were sown. 
Just posting some picts of folks we had fellowship with at CCCM. It was a great time of fellowship. God has blessed us with some really great friends. 
The cool thing in Heaven is there are no time zones and no jet lag. Pray for our adjustment time to be shortened. Goodnight/This afternoon.
Hey guys pray for the folks hurting now just before the holidays as many have lost everything. It is a sad time. My folks live in Cerritos and Mihoko's are out in Riverside. The Drive on the 91 freeway reveals a hard fought battle with many thousands of acres burned up. It is eery as many home are surrounded by fire and survived and then others are a complete loss.
Stuft need I say more...Praise God for mom. She worked so hard and it was fabulous. I am just sad that I won't be able to devour the leftovers for the next week or so. That's okay we had our fill and the fellowship was even better than the eats. The kids had a blast.
Nathan had a sleep over at a friends house. Roger Arendse is a cool dad who love is son's Shane and Luke. Luke is Nathan's friend. Anyway, the Dads came out for a time to study the Bible and call each other into a more accountable position with each other regarding purity. It was a great time of fellowship and challenging for the boys. They even went swimming in the 90 degree weather we have been having. It is like Summer here in the middle of November. God Bless Roger and Sumako Arendse. They Love Jesus and want to serve him with a whole heart. Pray for unity and God's continued providence.
Well the day came early and from Nasty tasting Versed to IV's to post op recovery all went well and Rachel is fine. She has been so blessed by God with a great heart and we are encouraged to go back to Japan with confidence and continue to plow forward with God's plans. Keep praying for her health. She is still susceptible to infections and viruses that can lead to rejection episodes. May God stay his hand upon her.
Hey it is a warm day and we won't get wet on the Big Foot Rapids..."famous last words" Nathan says, "umm someone got a towel?"
We had a blast at Knott's. We also met some friends there. Bill and Satomi Morgan showed up and we just had a great time fellowshipping a little with them. They are a fun family and the Love the Lord so much. Satomi is a pianist and just wants to serve the Lord with her talent. She has been the last few years at Wintersburg Presbyterian Church playing worship there. Bill is a busy man with an incredible amount of pain tolerance. He had an accident in the Navy that caused an injury to end his career in the Military and though he has been through years of testings and diagnosis he has be relegated to living with the pain and pressing on. Pray for a miracle for Bill. They have two great kids David and Emily.
