I once had my "Religious Views" listed on my facebook profile as something like:

Unitarian Universalist Nudist Christian Disillsioned With Disorganized Religion.

Mom was Baptist, but married a Presbyterian pastor, so my two brothers and I grew up Presbyterian. I later went to a Christian Reformed church, but now I just self-label myself Nudist Christian and am no longer involved in any particular denomination. Though I don't "go to church" anymore, I really enjoy the preaching of Charles Price at LivingTruth.ca. As for my own Christian views, you'll find plenty of them on my JTK.CA, NudeCreations.com, NudistPoet.com, and TadCreations.com websites. And if I ever contradict myself, you need to understand that my postings are things I've created throughout my life, and they are not in chronological order. Like any other human, my views have changed over time, and will continue to change, as long as I breathe.

"CHOIRS ARE FUN"
© Tad "JTK.CA" NudistPoet

Choirs are fun. I've sung solos and been in choirs from my early 10's to my late 30's. I'm 43 and a hermit now (2011-06-08). Besides going to my parents' place for supper most nights, I live happily alone in my apartment. I'm alone, but not lonely. facebook.com/JTK.CA has become my social life.

I'm on Disability pensions for my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My OCD kept killing my jobs, so I decided to stop torturing myself and get the help I needed. I'm much happier now that I've retired from the work world. I also like living alone, because, I don't have to explain all my weird OCD rituals to anyone. Once in a while, I get frustrated with the rituals. But, for the most part, I'm at peace with my OCD and have fun with my mental illness, or is it mental illnesses (plural)? Like my grandfather used to say, "Might as well laugh as cry." Basically, when I'm home alone, I'm a complete loon, and I love it! Mirrors were made for making faces in.

Photo of me with my turtle pillow I named Simon Yertle. His back is divided into four colours, like the electronic sound game Simon (https://g.co/kgs/ZjNn4H). And, of course, Yertle is in honour of Dr. Seuss.

"TEXTBOOK CASES ARE ONLY YOU AND I WRITTEN DOWN"

Copyright © Jonathan Tad Ketchen

Textbook cases are only you and I written down. I don't fit a label, even ones I've given myself. Reality is too complicated. I gave myself the label NudistPoet years ago, but now I'm more of a nude model, having become disillusioned with nudism, similar to my disillusionment with organized Christianity. Christians have a problem with my nudism, and nudists have a problem with my boner. I am a single, celibate, bisexually curious man, but looking for heterosexual marriage in my future. I'm a pro-life Christian nudist, who has always been and still is anti-abortion. Even though, I'm anti-abortion, I don't want kids. But, unlike some others, I've chosen celibacy over having my unborn children murdered. Contrarily to being anti-abortion, I used to believe in the death penalty for murderers, until, I saw all the convicted murderers being cleared by DNA evidence. Now, I'm anti-death penalty. It's called living in the world because we're all ALL OVER THE MAP.

Sometimes I have to say good-bye
To a dear old friend
When dreams with them have met their end,
And only tears can flow when in proximity.

It may be hard for me,
But it's best for both.
So I leave them with this oath:

I wish you well,
Without making you my wishing well.

Cher's Hate Speach -- Unedited

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A perfect example of how the concept of "Hate Speach" only goes one way. It's fine for a liberal to say caustically slanderous things against conservatives. Only conservatives are able to commit "Hate Speach" because "Hate Speach" really just means someone has the audacity to be a free thinker and disagree with a liberal agenda.

Yes, I'm a naked exhibitionist, but I grew up conservative. Even though I'm liberal now on a lot of issues, I am amazed at the venom that comes out of so many liberals' mouths toward conservatives. I thought liberals were supposed to be against "Hate Speach."

"ONLY A SITH DEALS IN ABSOLUTES"
-- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin "Darth Vader" Skywalker ( StarWars.com )
TAD is JTK.CA NudistPoet
Essay: Copyright © Jonathan Tad Ketchen

The problem with "absolute" statements is they deny the complexity in reality. Even the Pharisees would insist on "absolute" Old Testament statements, which Jesus would then flip around to look at from another angle. They were so convinced that they understood the word of God perfectly, that when the Word of God Himself elaborated, they refused to believe Him.

"CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH HARRISON FORD"
TAD is JTK.CA NudistPoet
Copyright © Jonathan Tad Ketchen

I used to live in Duanesburg, New York, a beautiful countryside neighbourhood, surrounded by hilly terrain which is magnificent in autumn. Duanesburg is not far from Schenectady and Albany. Even if you don't see the name on your map, Duanesburg is easy to find. Downtown Duanesburg "is" the intersection of Routes 7 and 20. You can't miss Duanesburg's "one" set of stop lights.

Anyway, I had a friend in Duanesburg who was a skydiver...yes, a skydiver. Skydiving is big in Duanesburg. In the warmer months, I would often see people in parachutes plummeting toward earth. The skydiving club headquartered itself at Duanesburg's little airport. My skydiver friend told me once about Duanesburg's close encounters with Harrison Ford. She wished she had been there, at his visits, to meet him; but it's still a great story.

Besides being a superstar actor, Harrison Ford is also a pilot, and, as a pilot, he was at Duanesburg's small airport. He ate at a restaurant in Duanesburg called "Jonathan's Pizza"--no relation to me, but still a nice name. Anyway, a year later he arrived back at the Duanesburg Airport and ate, once again, at Jonathan's Pizza. When he went into the restaurant, he noticed something very strange. They had mounted his plate and eating utensils from his last visit onto their wall. His response was to ask if there were anywhere else in town that he could eat.

"THE POWER OF CHRIST'S CROSS"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JTK.CA stands for JONATHAN TAD KETCHEN Creative Adventurer (my identity), but even more important than me, I'm happy to let JTK.CA stand for JESUS THE KING Conquers All. He is my Creator, and I am only a Creative Adventurer because He is the one who made me.



This is a night-time long exposure, taken of residential lighting on the horizon, moving the camera side to side, moving it up and down, plus a little bit of random spinning. Then I turned the finished photo 90 degrees. Usually, you see this kind of time exposure with car lights. However, this one is mostly house lights and, maybe some street lights, on the horizon. Just call me a whirling dervish! ;-) Twist and shout! When I saw the image on my digital camera's view screen, the cross jumped right out at me, and I couldn't wait to get home to Photoshop the image! Weeee!

"SIMPLE SOLUTION" :::: © JTK.CA

"SIMPLE SOLUTION"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm a single male. It isn't easy. Basically, I'm a virgin, except for some experimental homosexual touching with other boys my age in my early teens. I've always wanted to heterosexually marry a woman, but I've gotten the "Let's just be friends" line so many times that I'm becoming more content with singlehood. The only problem is, for religious and personal reasons, I'm celibate till marriage. I don't want kids, so, at least, the celibacy has helped. Christianity today has trouble with honesty, and honestly I'm a single Christian who copes with my sexual needs by masturbating to pornography. That's my spiritual battlefield. How's that for honesty? Did you even realize that single Christians still have sexual needs? To deny it is sin, because God is the God of Truth.

I don't want to be sexually intimate with someone without emotional intimacy, simply because I know my emotional limits. Being denied the prospect of emotional intimacy with someone is painful enough; I know from experience, many times over. Therefore, I'd rather not experience being denied sexual intimacy after already having had it with someone. I'll wait till marriage. I once told a girl I didn't even believe in French kissing until marriage. She responded, "Wow! You're going to be a nymphomaniac!" I said, "You bet ya' honey!" If someone wants to be physically sexual with me, she has a simple solution. She can ask me to marry her. And I'm one who believes in short engagements, preferably a day or so, because if I agree to her proposal, I'm taking her to the justice of the peace right away, before she has a chance to change her mind.

And if I don't accept her marriage proposal, maybe it's just my turn to say, "Let's just be friends." Revenge is sweet ;-)
