| Dear J, Peace to you in the name of our Redeemer, Yeshua HaMoshiach. Thank you for your email. I'm pleased you are enjoying the music. I appreciate your questions and will do my best to answer them. There are some links on my website which perhaps you have not seen. There is some updated info on this page: It offers some inside information on the concept and story behind Octaman. There is a biography
http://www.octaman.com/bio.html and some true life stories: http://www.octaman.com/newbio.html I hope these are helpful in explaining some more about the creative project, which is actually me, as I believe that I am a creative work in progress, the sum of my experiences having made me "Octaman." I hope you will see that I don't take myself too seriously, as Octaman is actually more of a parody than you may have realized. In answer to some of your other concerns, I offer the following lyrics from my song "Psalm 24" which contains a paraphrase from Pastor Russell's work, as he wrote about all followers of Christ: "Through
the prophetic word,
they shall not only be Shielded from discouragement, to overcome besetments, Snares and stumbling stones so prevalent in "the evil day," Thus *they become the light-bearer and instructor to the world*. Thus enabled to point out to the world the cause of the trouble, To announce the presence of the new Ruler, To declare the policy, plan and object of the new dispensation, And to instruct the world as to the wisest course to pursue" Thanks again for your email. It's nice to meet another musician who appreciates reggae, and who reads Pastor Russell. May Yah bless your efforts to serve Him. Yours in Truth, Regan Balman - a.k.a.

Hi Octaman,
Thanks for your
prompt response.
Humble
apologies. I now understand
the “spoof” context of Octaman. An interesting
concept of mainstreaming the brand with satire, thereby appealing to
the youth
and promoting the truth.
I should be more
thorough in my research before resorting to finger-pointing. My sceptic
cynicism has developed over the years by observing hypocrisy amongst
“so-called” Christians, whose self-righteousness appear
to take precedence over love of and obedience to God’s word.
Please send a
sample of your
live performance, if possible.
