I have recently been shown that my attempts to red-pill have actually caused further division because it was not in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 13:
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails
People have not been able to accept our testimony because of fear, lack of discernment or sheer disbelief. Their trust and confidence will be badly shaken. It has taken most of us a long time to accumulate and process the facts - they will be thrown in at the deep end.
We will need love, compassion and patience to help them move forward.
I been trying to redpill a coworker for an entire year to no avail, he will not budge. I hate seeing people so asleep, some are going to be lost forever like Q said unfortunately.
My parents both are like that having been born as baby boomers which was at a time where the media could effectively control what information was available to the public.
I have the same problem with a friend, now see that I was being overbearing and that's why all I said was rejected. Some people need to see things for themselves; let go and let God. Sometimes the best remedy is prayer.
It's likely that he'll be ambushed by the truth and wake up. Even the most diehard CNN watchers usually do NOT approve of outright treason captured on film and audio, especially if that treason was prefaced with actual proof of raping children. When Q says there won't even BE a D party when this is done, I can see how that would be!
Nobody said anything to me, I came to that realisation myself. In our desire to help we can be overzealous at times, insensitive, proud etc. I always pray and ask what I need to change and this morning that verse came into my mind. Also realised that dropping crumbs is better than trying to force feed with a giant whopper with all the trimmings :)
Yes: I've noticed a difference in response when I am irritated or even neutral. In that moment if I LIKE the person and appreciate them and really see their value..... they hear better.
Amen. When I think of all the years I lived without faith and how the Lord loved me regardless, provided for and protected me I am reduced to tears of gratitude. Having been forgiven so much, we too must love others for His sake. That is the greatest weapon against satan. Love never fails.
I believe that there are times where the intent of our words need to fall on the subconscious and hope that the universe takes it from there, letting go of what we experience on the surface.
Planting seeds is actually pretty respectful - it gives the other person room to THINK and decide for themselves. Granted, that might take years and physical evidence being presented....but the outcome for them will be better because of that planted seed. It's mercy to at least tell them the truth once.

They were both raised with the "never question authority" mentality.
