A derivative of Romeo and Juliet.

In a new movie plot, a young man had two female cousins who were sisters (They were nicknamed Mary and Martha since they loved to argue about whether Saturday was the right day for church attendance or Sunday.  They also argued about whether the Lord died on a cross or on a tree; hmm?) The family lived in Provence.  The young man was a student at the local seminary and studied science and sociology.  He prayed for his younger cousins and hoped that they would graduate. They graduated and he was thankful.  He gave them a gift that was reasonably priced and hoped they would find a good husband.  Their immediate family came from a different tradition; somewhat southern or North African possibly.  They seemed to expect him to show them some additional interest as they grew old and expectant but he had no idea with respect to what they were thinking. They became very angry in their presumptions and he could not understand why. They never communicated and he certainly did not owe them any acknowledgement above and beyond a courteous greeting at the family gatherings.  Their passive aggressive anger became criminal in nature and they became social menaces. He never did spend any time around them except in the company of their parents.   In the Shakespearean play, Romeo was passionate but not mature enough to understand that he needed patience to temper his passion while he sought an apprenticeship. Juliet wanted attention and should have realized the Lord would provide a good man in due course after she chose a purpose either as a nurse or as a patisserie cook.  She realized in due course that she needed a Joseph( as in Mary's husband-see the book of Matthew).  By the time Romeo finished his apprenticeship, Juliet was ready for a husband and she baked beautiful pastries for Romeo who had the character of a good and athletic Joseph with a B average in sciences during high school while he could claim membership on at least one school athletic team. He was also a student of the Torah, the psalms, proverbs and the new testament. Read Romans 7, Romans 8 and John 20.  If the father invited  the cousin named Romeo or Joseph over for lunch, he could have told him what the daughter was thinking. Otherwise, it is best to leave Romeo or Joseph alone as Romeo trusts God to provide a suitable companion in due course. Juliet recognised that internal character is more important than "statue of David" or "Ken Doll" appearance and that her intellectual isolation, lack of travel or experience with other cultures should not lead her to think everybody who is not sexually addicted as she is to images and who has no disease after 33 years of age(she was trained to believe that it is normal to have disease after that age) is gay.
It is the continuing policy of Londinium TV Channel to discuss everything in a light hearted manner and to let everyone know that homosexuals are human beings. It is also to share the gospel. They should be as well respected in public as any bible believing Christian. Hatred is not tolerated against homosexuals and nor should anyone tolerate anyone, including homosexuals, perpetrating crimes of anger, passions and violence.
