If I were a betting man, I would put money on the fact that many around the world still don’t know where He stands on the issue – even after His many posts. He was on both sides of this complex set of issues, and I felt less and less sure where He was going with His thinking. His voice became more muddled as the week went on. Jesus was firm and sure on each side – but appeared conflicted. Jesus called His people to protect their children and His command to be inviting to strangers did not include people hiding among them who desired to bring violence to their homes. He didn’t want any state to welcome people without significant assurances that immigrants did not come to bring terror or harm to the streets of that place. Just as firmly stated as His early compassion statements, but supported by different verses than in Jesus’ earlier posts – Jesus started to come out in favor of careful state scrutiny of immigration when there was a significant risk to state security. I didn’t comment on any of His posts, because I wanted to see where He was going in the evolution of His thinking…Īs the week progressed Jesus’ opinions waffled back and forth. I kept reading… and then I noticed that Jesus didn’t seem to keep one track of thinking, but used other media outlets to swing in other directions on the same issue. Important sources of Jesus’ thinking, like “The Huffington Post” and “Upworthy” shared His thoughts as He poured out important and pithy sayings that made clear what He thought compassion looked like when it applied to our post-Paris immigration scene in the US. Jesus used a number of catchy sayings and cartoons and made His point on thousands of posts. He also seemed to attempt to make some moral equivalent out of the Pilgrims that long ago settled the New World. He seemed quite against any religious or loyalty test affiliations for immigrants that idea apparently seemed thoroughly unloving and unkind. They were filled with Bible quotes, but seemed to lack clarity at times…įor a while, He appeared in favor of throwing open borders and swallowing the hurting of the Near East in the name of love and compassion.
I took the time to read many of His thoughts on His pages. They ripped this off at the start of it during the opening credits.This week, Jesus apparently spent much time on Social Media.

#9 to 5 soundbyte movie#
In 2018, punk rock forebears Alice Bag, Kathleen Hanna and Allison Wolfe teamed up to re-create scenes from the movie for the video to "77," a song that refers to women earning only 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man. When the #metoo uprising took shape, it became a touchstone to measure progress - women were still earning considerably less than men and dealing with an often criminal level of disrespect. "9 to 5" didn't start any kind of movement, but did push the issue forward. Parton was more than qualified to write these lines, having conquered the male-dominated world of country music with extraordinary tact and ambition. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it They just use your mind and they never give you credit The song has a jaunty tone that fits the movie, but the lyrics ring true for many women: It was done for laughs, which was the only way it could reach a mass audience, but still made a strong statement, with three female leads taking on their stereotypically disparaging boss. Both the film and the song "9 to 5" exposed gender inequity in the workplace.
