Elton John: I want to meet Putin over gay rights [Daniel 3]
BBC ^ | 9/12/2015 | Staff

Sir Elton John says he wants to meet Vladimir Putin to discuss what he called the Russian president's "ridiculous" attitude to gay rights. A report by Human Rights Watch last year said Russia was failing to prevent and prosecute homophobic violence amid a rise in attacks against minorities. Speaking to the BBC, Sir Elton said he would welcome talks with Mr Putin even though "he may laugh behind my back... and call me an absolute idiot". The musician is currently in Ukraine. He met Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and called for the country to give stronger support to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-sexual (LGBT) community.

Sir Elton also met with business leaders to call on them to not turn away LGBT employees. Ukraine's neighbour, Russia, passed a law in June 2013 that prosecuted private individuals promoting "homosexual behaviour among minors". Sir Elton criticised the move, and comments Mr Putin made last year, indicating gay people targeted children. "Give me a break," Sir Elton said. "You are President of Russia, and you go and say stupid things like that?" He said Mr Putin's attitude to gay people was "isolating and prejudiced" and "ridiculous"...

Daniel 3:4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded , O people, nations, and languages, 5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: 6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

If the past is any indicator of the future, today's famous musicians (e.g. rock & roll, Rap, Hip Hop, and other) will continue to insert themselves into the political process to promote their godless agenda. Like the musicians and Hollywood stars who shilled for Obama (some even calling him god incarnate, or sent by god) these musicians will make the coming Antichrist almost irresistible to the Biblically illiterate masses.

Satan's minstrels will open for and present their impassioned ballads to help the minions receive a political/spiritual figure who will seem to be a world savior. This coming leader of the world will promise peace, freedom, and equity. He will be a Christ-like antichrist (in place of Christ) and stand in our auditoriums and church pulpits and preach to adoring, teary eyed, congregations while solving the world's problems. The Biblicly illiterate will swear that he is speaking gospel truth, while saving the climate, bringing peace, and promoting homosexual love and understanding. This coming savior will not truly bring peace, for only the Prince of Peace, the Messiah of Israel, Jesus Christ can bring that. He will bring something else...

Revelation 13:12 ... [He] causeth the earth and them which dwell therein * to worship the first beast, whose * deadly wound was healed. 13 And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would * not worship the image of the beast should be killed *. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great *, rich and poor *, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand *, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell , save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Will Elton show up in one of his silly little wigs?

It’s hard to take men seriously when they wear wigs and girly clothing.

Keep it in the closet Reggie. You and your ilk’s open perversions are the downfall of western civilization and Putin is smart enough to see that.

Why is it disgusting?

Just because Russian regulars are killing them. then there’s the separatists fighting ultra nationalists.

And Ukraine forces fighting quite valiantly with far inferior equipment.

Probably a lot of homeless and hungry in those areas.

But this is LGBTABCDEF rights!! It Trumps everything.

Hey Ellen. Forget Putin. The boys you need to worry about are Barry and Johnny’s Moolahlah buddies in Iran.

Why doesn’t he go meet the Ayatollah instead. Oh that’s right, the Iranians would probably drop him from the roof of a building, or chop his head off.

Oh Elton, you must have seen Putin’s shirtless pic of him riding his horse. Forget it, he won’t bend over for you. Go find your boytoy.

Didn’t Elton perform a show with grown men dancers dressed up like Boy Scouts?

What he wants to talk to Putin about is disgusting. Pee pee in the poo poo. As for the rest, I don’t really much care about the maidan Ukrainians.

Elton is mad that Russia has a law saying you can’t recruit kids into homosexuality. That’s basically telling us everything.

Hey Elton...I’d think they’d welcome your dialog in the middle east. Give it a shot since you’re so brave.
