There are three threads running through this topic which has always been dear to me … first, obviously, is the story of Joan herself and what happened. Second is the presenter who continues to impress with his manner, with his straightforwardness … he’d make a great teacher … not full of himself, yet he has done his homework.
Third is that some of what Joan said has had quite an impact on my own approach to Christianity and you can see part of what she said in the screenshots beliw the youtube.
Indeed … it all came down to “submitting” to the men who usurped the bible and people’s access to it and made themselves the Sole Authority, not unlike Ardern did in NZ, calling herself the one source of truth. Note the capital C in Church, whereas below, she spoke in a small c way.
Even the non Christian “other side” is fascinated by the phenomenon … just how she could get her initial goal achieved … break the siege, crown the king. Please note that there’s some sort of weird intro for all of two minutes … then the song starts. May I suggest going straight to 2:00. The band, by the way, is Amon Duul 3 or Amon Duul UK, re-gathered sometime after the French-German Amon Duul II expired.
The grievous error made by Julie Wareing or st least the songwriter is the line “come with me, together we could rule the world”.
Pure Woke feminazism from the mid 80s … woman can do anything, better than men, better even than God at times. It is huge mental sickness, turning the voices of angels driving Joan onwards into some sort of superwoman goddess.
I suspect that in the real story, Joan having avhieved that twofold, inspired goal, she was so taken by her newfound fame that she tried it, uninspired, in other theatres of war, only to fail. The rest was history. She was inspired for the duration of that initial goal … then she should have retired to her home.
But the hype got to her. Christy spoke about such feminazism here:
It’s a salutary lesson as to what is possible when inspired … and what is not, once human ego steps in and rules.
