Why would anyone want to do that?

Because citizens of New Jerusalem and other participants like to share, especially with what they suspect God is doing in their lives or revealing to them. And maybe they want to develop their writing skills to a better degree and become more effective at communication. Besides, it's more blessed to produce than to consume.

They may also wish to attempt to win a a ceramic NJT coffee mug or stainless steel NJT travel mug, made by the Editor as a gift for their accomplishment. These NJT items cannot be purchased at any price, but they can be obtained and shipped, free-of-charge, to much of North America upon a successful submission and posting of an article in this section.

Each article should be at least 1000 words and relate in some manner to either topic: Christian Anarchy or Realized Eschatology, which could include articles about a wide variety of topics, including things like building and installing your own septic system, or home schooling, etc.

All articles should use care with their pronouns, like: us, we, our, we're. Those pronouns must not be used to refer to the Body of the State in any manner, e.g. "our" Founding Fathers are Christ and the Apostles, not guys like Washington, Jefferson, or Franklin, who, until the day each one of them died, all trafficked in slaveholding via global kidnapping. Those violent revolutionaries threw off one hostile Central Power, only to initiate another hostile Central Power 10 years later, which would soon prove far more tyrannical than George III and a three pence per-pound tax on imported tea. And those violent revolutionaries actually sought to politically bind unborn generations with a yoke of slavery, not to a so-called monarchy, but to a mob and a parasitic ego mass that occasionally shows up to cast a Secret Ballot in an effort to commission State employees to use force and violence over others on their behalf, which garners stolen property and funds.

The problems that the the Body of the State has and creates for itself are not the same problems that "we" have; the Body of Christ has its own problems.

It may help to use pronouns from the perspective of a foreign journalist or a tourist, except in the most general sense of "we" as humanity. And any proper nouns that may refer to a particular political fiction could be best placed in quotation marks, e.g. "Canada," or maybe italicized, like, California, etc. I'll often make the obvious contradistinction to the Body of Christ by just calling any or all of the hostile political fictions around the landscape, the Body of the State.

As another example, an appropriate title for an article might be: Why We Will Never Bombed or Occupy Iraq, instead of the statist orientation: Why Did We Bomb and Occupy Iraq.

If you don't know very much about these concepts, re-read the available NJT issues in their PDF format, then do some homework, read the Bible, pray. God will undoubtedly help you to see that Christ's Kingdom is here today for those that believe. His subjects have renounced the World Systems, and don't need hostile overlords lurking around them. In New Jerusalem there is no Temple, because God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple. (Rev. 21:22) We are all priests who walk in God, through His Spirit. We are very patient with those who are in spiritual darkness, much like someone who might have a retarded brother or sister in the human family, except that the statist need not live forever with their spiritual retardation.

All articles for consideration can be e-mailed. The NJT editor may edit submissions. Certain graphics that relate to the article or a photo of the author will also be considered for inclusion. Upon or before publication, you will be asked which gift item you prefer, what size may be required, and where the item is to be sent.

Peace be with you all, NJT
