You appear to be confusing me with someone who cares!

But I can identify what you have eaten by the waft of your farts

Rainbow Children - everyone who believes
The Wise One - one man who fully understood God's word
His woman - his woman
The resistor - the devil or someone trying to distract people from God's word
The banished ones - maybe non-believers

Thank you my brave and Intrepid friend!

I think that you have identified their roles through the album, but do you think they represent SPECIFIC people or groups in P's mind?

I'm not really interested in the correct answer, I'm interested in how people have interpreted it.

Who's to say what is correct other than the man himself?

If anyone is on chatting terms with him, though, maybe they could ask him what it all means over some starfish & coffee!

Looks like nobody cares!

Oh well!

I thought it would be interesting, but then I'm new here. Maybe it's been done already...

Here's an encyclopedia entyry for Jehnovah's witness beliefs. some good candidates for TRC characters.

There are similarities with the Arians of the early church and the Adventist churches. The Witnesses are divided into two classes, the 144,000 "anointed ones" or "inner witnesses", and the more ordinary, "other sheep". They believe in conditional immortality, that the soul cannot exist apart from a body, meaning that humanity faces absolute death, save for the chance of escape offered by the ransom of Christ's death. The Witnesses, denying the trinity, view Christ as the first and highest created being, who was resurrected not bodily, but spiritually. In 1918 a period of Judgement began in which Christ is reigning in a spiritual sense in preparation for the Battle of Armageddon. He is assisted by anointed ones who have been resurrected in angelic bodies.
The world is currently under Satan's control through servants who lead the established churches, national governments and big business. At the Battle of Armageddon the hosts of Jehovah, including the spiritual anointed ones and those other sheep who are alive at the time, will overthrow Satan and his supporters and all the rest of humanity will die in the chaos. At this point everyone who died before Armageddon will be physically resurrected and will live in a paradise Earth under the rule of the "other sheep" for a thousand years until the final Judgement. Then all those who have proved worthy will be given physical immortality for eternity and all others will be annihilated.
Essential precepts for Witnesses are a faith in the ransom Christ paid by his death, baptism by immersion and a duty to witness Jehovah's message to outsiders as much as possible. Only those who have the inner witness are allowed to attend the annual Lord's Supper.

So (my guess):

The Rainbow Children = the anointed ones/inner witnesses

The Wise One = Adam (or Mr Graham? wink)

His Woman = Eve

The Resistor = Satan (or Mr Graham? wink)

The Banished Ones = Satan's followers (or anyone who doesn't let the witnesses in out of the cold when they come a-knockin?)
All those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand...

Creepy how? - what JWs believe, or the fact that I went to the trouble of finding out to try and make sense of the song? I think it's kinda cool that he's making some songs that take a bit of thinking (tho balancing it with a few 'fuck the taste out of ur mouth' might be good).

I should also state for the record that i'm the world's biggest atheist. I'm just interested in why people believe crazy stuff - I mean that entry for JW doctrines makes Battlefield Earth look plausible.
