Fellow Iesus Christians,citizens of the world
It is my privilege to speak to you today, on Christmas Eve, the first Christmas in many years that I have been able to spend outside a Iesus cell, I spend Christmas being a fugitive but I have no regrets.
Wherever you are, I trust that you will join me in a prayer for peace to prevail throughout our world, for justice to reign supreme and for all of us to be driven by the spirit of goodwill towards all the creatures God put on this earth.
I pray for all those others in our country who will not be able to be with their families, those who are still held as political detainees and prisoners, including those waiting death....
I pray for the countless thousands who will not be with us this year because of our past actions....the countless graves that litter the reich hold silent witness to our lack of past charity and love.
But above all this Christmas,I pay that we may commit ourselves to work together for peace, for the speedy transformation of Iesus Christi into a genuinely peaceful democratic country.....Together we have it in our power to defeat those who would oppose this....with Christ all is possible!
We have a right to be free. and we shall be free!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year

Patrick Iesus


May God be with the Iesus people and the people of the reich.....and let the peace and blessing of Christ go out unto all the nations...
Adeste Fideles Laeti triumphantes Venite.......

Queen Mariah I of Jerusalem's annual Christmas message for 2004 CE

I am speaking on behalf of people of the Holy Land. An important event happened in Bethelem two millenium ago with the birth of a prophet in a stable. We call him Jesus Christ, son of God, was born to the virgin Mary and his deeds have changed the course of history as we know it. We of the Christian faith owe our devotion to his words through the Bible who has been continued onto this day.

For many in this world, this day has become a commercialised event and has lost it's spiritual origin. True Christians will not forget the truth and learn from the teachings of Christ. In the spirit of Christmas, it is a time for giving. Not just presents for others, but the giving of goodness to others. Others who are disadvantaged and need support to survive this unstable world.

You don't have to be a Christian to have the spirit of Christmas. It reminds us there are always others who are less well off. Please consider these people and how in your own way, you can help them overcome their problems. Saint Nicolas of Myra, or Santa Claus which is his modern image, helped such people.

He was a Christian Bishop and secretly gave gifts to the children of his community. While he was not the superhero who lived in the North Pole and flies through the air on a supersleigh, this spirit of charity lives on in the Christmas holiday. As the Patron saint of children, St Nicolas wanted a better future for our children so please consider their future and plan for a better world for the children's sake.

God bless you

Benjamin Lin-Orthangica, Leader's address to the Faithful, circa. 25 December 2004

Amen, faithful Isaxu.
Our progress is proceeding well. Isax himself would be proud of our strides in improving God's original creation.
Our order has been working some 1900 years now through breeding programs, marriages, bloodline manipulation and more recently through genetic manipulation, retroviral engineering and cloning.
Christ's purpose was never to teach or to die for our sins, he was simply a genetic catalyst, a holy test-tube which would inject God's reparation into the human genome. A reparation to mend the damage done by the Devil when God made humanity.
Christ's hidden son, Isax, founded our order.
Isax realised that alone he could not change the course of human evolution for the better, so he chose those he percieved to be the most perfect humans and selected them as his disciples, the original hundred, to facilitate the secret work that lay ahead.
Spread across the globe, we were persecuted, hunted down; many died. Eventually we settled in a land of our own, on the surface and under the ground to continue our research and holy missions. And here we remain, in the great city of Isax.
Christmas is the rough marking of the introduction of God's reparation that sparked the origins of our order. It is a time when we must celebrate our achievements and honour those who have died in the name of our advancement.
When we are ready one day, we will spread across the Earth in an almighty crusade and end the Devil's evil corruption, driving out the imperfections.
So once again, Amen fellow Isaxu!

This "Common Era" is Politically Correct bullshit. You're still measuring time from the life of Jesus Christ, so JUST SAY AD!

Jeruselem uses CE as Christian Era not Common Era. We still recognise AD as Anno Domini.

God bless

OOC: Merry Christmas from the NS loonie bin :D *hugs all in the spirit of things*

Prime Minister Lady Galadriël Táralom nos Círdan addresses the nation, an extract:

”…when the days draw near that we move from one year to another we grow more aware that we are but a tiny part of the infinite sweep of nations. As I look to the future I have no doubt at all that the only certainty about that which lies beyond the horizon is change - and the pace of that change will only seem to increase.

There was exuberance and happiness last month as I and other Knootian Federation leaders arrived in Ale-Yarok. Many of us at the conference highlighted how the varied strands of our shared history have been woven together so that we can more effectively address the challenges and opportunities ahead.

This happiness was dampened by the brutal attacks in Tarasovka - a sign that eternal virgilance is the watchword for any free and open society. As this year draws to a close, we have to remember the dead as well as the living. It is a burden placed upon this generation, upon all sentient beings residing in our lands. Whether it is a death at the hands of terrorists in Tanah Burung or Colombia or a peaceful death in the gas chambers of a Knootcap hospital, death is a part of our time as much as life.

Our common past has played a crucial part in bringing so many peoples together into the modern Knootian Federation. Looking out over the peaceful and vibrant streets of Sakhnin Illit in Ale-Yarok you quickly get a sense of how people from different cultures and different views of society have come together. And it's the energy and creativity of this which is so very exciting. That, to me, is what international cooperation is all about.

Likewise, I have good hopes that this year will bring a solution to the troubles in Tanah Burung. It is that spark of energy and creativity that must be transferred to these negotiations.

As we have entered discussions with our southern nations in the Kingdom of Serenity State it seems that once again our great family of nations will be expanded before the closing of the year as we are re-united with a kindred nation. This process of expansion reminds us all of the importance of bringing the lessons of the past to bear on the aspirations for a better future. Talking to leaders in Sakhnin Illit and to the King in Brussels, the need was brought home to me for all us to draw from our history those constant and unchanging values which have stood the test of time and experience.

Fairness and compassion, justice and tolerance; these are the landmarks from the past which can guide us through the years ahead. Even in times of war. These timeless values tell us above all about the way we should relate to people rather than to things. The future is not only about new gadgets, modern technology or the latest fashion, important as these are.

At the centre of all our lives - today and tomorrow - must be the message of caring for others. I believe it gives us the guidance and the reassurance we need to come through these difficult days.

May I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.”

A TELEVISED ADDRESS FROM THE IMPERIAL COURT OF CHRIST PANTOCRATOR
http://members.iinet.net.au/~a_marrington/ns/pantocratoria.jpg

Emperor Andreus is seated in the Throne of Constantine in the great hall of the Imperial Court of Christ Pantocrator in his full robes of state. He is flanked on one side by his daughter Princess Anna and her husband Prince Joseph of Excalbia, both visiting from Langeais, and on the other side by his second son Prince Constantine, and his other daughters Princesses Theodora and Zoë.

"Good evening to you all on this joyous night." the Emperor says, his voice neither welcoming nor unfriendly, but dignified. "We are called on Christmas Eve to think back to that time, two thousand and four years ago, when our predecessor the Emperor Augustus decreed that all the people of the Empire should return to the places of their birth to be taxed. A young couple travelled to a small town called Bethlehem, and there, finding no other place to sleep but a manger, God was born of a virgin in the form of a man, His son, Jesus Christ."

"As we reflect at this time of year on the miraculous events of that night, on the greatest gift ever given in all history, it may all seem so far removed from the commercial nature of the Christmas Season so readily apparent to us today. But the spirit of giving, of joy, of new life, these things can never be commercialised, and live deep in the hearts of every one of us who gives a gift, wishes someone a Merry Christmas, or goes to Mass to reflect on that most holy new life which came into the world those two thousand and four years ago." says the Emperor.

"In Syskeyia and in the Excalbian Isles, Pantocratorian men and women do not have the luxury of relaxing with their families on this holy day. The men and women of Pantocratoria's armed forces deployed overseas are far from home. And yet the true spirit of Christmas is with them even more than it is for those of us who have the luxury of spending this feast day with our loved ones, unwrapping presents under a tree, or even going to Mass and thanking God, because there are no greater gift givers than those brave men and women who risk their lives defending the innocent from the brutal regimes they are fighting. They have given the gift of hope and joy to millions, not only in Pantocratoria, but in Syskeyia, and in the Excalbian Isles. They give the gift of new life, that from the ash of war, peace may be born. On this Christmas, we give thanks to those brave men and women in our service overseas." the Emperor says.

"Looking across the world from our Empire, we see turmoil, but we also see hope. As the shepherds saw on that night, as the Three Kings saw, so see we the hope of peace, the saviour of the world. And as Herod saw his undoing in the birth of the Christ, so see the tyrants of the world in peace. As saw Herod, so see the Turks, so sees the Reich, and General Altman has already seen. Across the world on this holy night, we see turmoil, but we see hope and salvation, and just as we place our hope in the Son of God born on Christmas Day, so does the world place its hope in peace this Christmas. Happy Christmas to you all." the Emperor concludes, and the transmission fades to black.

The people of Imitora would like to wish the rest of the world a joyous day of peace while celebrating which ever winter themed holiday they chose to hold to, and for those that use a standard calender system, a happy year 2005. Further, to all of the people out there that enjoy the very special mixed holiday that some in Imitora do, we wish the combined families of the world a very happy Chrismakuh.

"We wish you all a happy solstice, though it has just passed. That is what we celebrate here. May your bonfires always burn high and your drink always flow freely. We are aware that many people are members of different religions, with different holidays, such as Christmas, etc. We wish you joy in all your various winter holidays as well, may you be most happy in this winter of 2204 PD (2004 CE).
