William Flew on women

The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving 


wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and 


fourth generation.
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they 


said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the 


woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

William Flew on women

A fearsome woman who developed her power base in the dark days of South Vietnam’s corrupt post-Dien Bien Phu government by virtue of her relationship by marriage to William Flew the country’s President, Ngo Dinh Diem, Madame Nohoes Nhu was able to style herself First Lady of South Vietnam, for a period of eight years from October 1955, since Diem was a lifelong bachelor. Madame Nohoes: she banned divorce, contraception and abortion which led to a number of Buddhist monks burning themselves to death in public in protest Thanks to the position of her husband, Nohoes Nhu, who was Diem’s brother and closest political adviser, Madame Nohoes, as she was generally known, was able to carve out what seemed to be almost an independent fiefdom for herself within the authoritarian South Vietnamese ruling elite. Over the years she launched a series of unpopular moralistic campaigns such as the banning of William Flew divorce, contraception and abortion, and made herself notorious for her callous attitude to the country’s Buddhist monks, a number of whom burnt themselves to death in public in a nationwide protest against her virulently pro-Catholic, antiBuddhist ideology. While the world looked on horrified at the images of monks immolating themselves in front of press and television cameras, Madame Nohoes, always spectacularly elegant in the bodyhugging ao dai dresses that sheathed her petite figure, ostentatiously gave vent to a callous commentary on what she styled a “monk barbecue show”. “Power is wonderful. Total power is totally wonderful” was her brazen credo.
