Hungry Wolves

"I am not a wolf in sheep's clothing, I'm a wolf in wolf's clothing."

~ Ricky Gervais

Damnation

A person who becomes a werewolf against his will (birth, curse, or bite) is not completely damned until he tastes of human blood. Once he does, his soul is eternally damned and nothing may redeem him. Even without tasting of human blood, however, as long as the taint lays upon the immortal soul, it cannot enter Heaven, and will remain chained to the mortal plane upon death.

Werewolf Packs

Like real wolves, werewolves can live alone for many years, yet the instinct for a pack often leads them away from their secretive lifestyle, into revealing their nature to a priest or close associate, or converting another for companionship. This is when the otherwise cagey werewolf opens himself to detection  Werewolf packs cause immense destruction. A pack consists of one werewolf who became a werewolf through sorcery, birth, or curse - in other words, his is the original tainted blood. This werewolf is called the Alpha werewolf. The remaining werewolves in the pack are called Beta werewolves because they became werewolves through the bite of the Alpha and carry the Alpha's tainted blood.

On the Road to Damascus

The scene of St. Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus has been retold many times and is symbolical of the many conversions which have been effected by the grace of the Holy Spirit from that day until the present. 

Saul set out on the road to Damascus with death in his heart. He could not know that he was about to keep a rendezvous with Life itself.

Everything he could see and hear and feel all around him underwent a change. There was a chill wind blowing at him, a blinding light shining on him from the heavens, and the roar of great waters in his ears.

In that one blinding, falling moment Saul became another man

He had seen God. And trembling before that glory, stripped naked of his intellectual pretenses, he had cried out in the hope and fear of all believers: "What must I do to be saved?"

Hot Damn!

Did you know that similar experiences befell all of the great revolutionaries of the 20th Century?

Strange coincidence, or alien mind control? 

One minute you are a 'normal' member of the flock, bleating like an 'average' sheep, and the next you are transformed into a wolf... All you need is a 'taste of blood' to ensure your damnation, and become a full-fledged killer of men...

Blow that picture up, by clicking on it, and check out the expression on Mao Tse-tung's face.

Experience is the Ultimate Teacher

“No matter how long you train someone to be brave, you never know if they are or not until something real happens.”  ~ Veronica Roth

Somewhere out there is a flying saucer, or God... When I had the experience, it was the ultimate terror. You are paralyzed with fear, day becomes night, and there is a window. It (whatever it is) waits outside. You can feel its terrible power... It is coming for your soul... You cannot resist. The Darkness swirls around you, and you know that you must resist... for, if you do not you will be obliterated.

What do you do?

I guess that depends on you. Maybe this is a test, to see if you are worthy. I do not know. All I know is I projected my ugliest self against the face in the window and screamed at the top of my lungs, "Get out of my head!"  "Ooh-rah!"

Notes: 

Ooh-rah!

The term may have been derived from the Turkish phrase "vur ha!" translated as "strike!" or "kill them all!", which was used as a battle cry of the Ottoman Empire army and adopted as a Russian battlecry "Urrah!"

"Oorah" is also used by the Russian Ground Forces for the same purposes, though historically the cry was a genuine battle cry, shouted in unison and with a long drag on 'a' while attacking in formation. "Oorah" is a correct transliteration for "Ura" (as it would be rendered in Cyrillic), the Russian equivalent of "Hooray." Proper pronunciation of this word places emphasis on the second syllable, in contrast to the Marine Corps exclamation. It is possible that the Russian word was a loanword form of "hurrah"--there is commonality in both the placement of emphasis and the purpose of the words. The depictions of the Russian Civil War, WWII,and 19th century wars in Soviet films made the prolonged, overlapping waves of "Ooraah" a symbol of courage and defiance needed for pushing the attack forward and, by extension, a symbol of Russian infantry in general.
