Demoralisation is their primary weapon, and their main tactic is gaslighting. It's exhausting to see something clearly and yet have people tell bare faced lies about it over and over again. Maybe for you today it's the elections, 9/11, vaccines, Ivermectin, political corruption, critical race theory... Whatever it is, trust yourself, trust God, ask him to keep guiding you towards the truth, and whatever you do, don't give up. Because as long as you don't give up, they can't win.
Dig deep pedes, and go to the Source of all Life and ask for the truth, the strength, the encouragement, the wisdom, the patience, the kindness, the resolve and the courage that you need today.
With God, you're always safe. This body is a temporary vehicle on earth. Your soul is yours and God's alone. It's bulletproof. 🙂
I turn 'fear' and 'what if's" over to the Lord whenever they surface in my mind.
You mean spirit. Soul is breath life and we all lose that eventually. Not synonymous with holy spirit biblically.
Thank you! I needed to hear this today!
Amen. Needed this one recently, and I’ve been at this since the beginning. May God bless us, all!
And the other thing to remember is, when you are tired, learn to rest, not to quit.
(Saying this for myself as much as for anyone)
Yes. Yes. Yes. Need to improve on this myself. Think I will take the day off. Thanks. :)
Enjoy the respite friend :)
Vince Lombardi always said "fatigue makes cowards of us all" when learning combat and war, I was taught that rest is a weapon.
I do get horribly depressed and gloomy, like Eeyore.
But then I lie down and try to pray, that isn't easy when the black dog bites but then an answer comes to me, and I know what to do, and get on with it'
Thank you Jesus, thank you.
I don't know where I'd be without prayer. In addition to all the Covid crap, I'm having a very difficult time with one of my adult children. Won't go into it but years of living badly have caught up with them, and they still won't listen to anyone who tells them how to fix their life, or accept the help they need to do so. I pray everyday for our President, our military, the White Hats and patriots, as well as my child. This gets me through each and every day, especially when things look very bleak. It's like feeling a comforting hand on your back.
Hope your son/daughter see and hear soon.
Thank you.
I have a fuck you and everything is a lie attitude. Once you reach this point there's no such thing a demoralization.
For real. Lies hurt our heads. Reject them, discern truth from error and stand on truth.
well that's the other way of doing it :)
Take action towards self actualization. The closer you get to self mastery, the better your life and every one else's life will be. Higher chance you'll live through this too.
Pray and FIGHT BACK. I dont mean that in these sense of violence. Yet. But debate, call out, argue, complain, call, write, email, protest, harass, shame and bother these fucks. Turn the tables on these aszholes. The same shit they've done since the obama years. Give it back to them. More importantly, anyone that lives near any of the powers that be, the faucis, soros, gates, ceos, politicos or news propagandists, we need to be organizing and taking this shit to them. Enough is enough. Time to fight back.
Wm F Buckley said he would be tempted to despair, but despair is a mortal sin.
It is a mortal sin b/c it denies trust in God.
HEY let's demoralize them! A lot of them do not believe in God and they will give in to the temptation to despair.
We are frustrating them mightily as we speak.
I needed to hear it.
I needed to hear it. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
I agree completely between the insane attempted vaccine and mask mandates it does feel very demoralizing like you should just give up and submit I should hopefully soon be getting my first REAL job and the thought of getting denied a job due to not complying with getting vaccinated has been pretty demoralizing but I am trying to keep faith the best I can THANKFULLY I have started not wearing a mask and HAVEN'T had much trouble considering MY cuck GOV just mandated masks for like the third time at least.
In my mind I picture Hope as a walking staff that I carry. When I am feeling down I realize that I've set the staff down. We have to consciously hold Hope in our grasp and not let go. Jesus is my Hope.
Amen to that.
Maybe some people read this and they don't know what we mean when we say that Jesus is our hope. This is what I mean by that:
Examining the life of Jesus - focusing on him, on what he did, said and taught, and who that means he is - reveals in ever deepening detail what it means to live in a way that is ultimately fulfilling and meaningful. There is nothing to compare the life of Jesus with, because it is the deepest source of truth that there can ever be, and the more one looks, the more one sees the coherence and the beauty that is within him, and in fact comes from him. And so the life of Jesus - and what that reveals to us about He who is - mysteriously and inexplicably both 100% man and 100% God - brings with it a connection to something that we realise that we have been longing for - consciously or not - every single moment of our lives.
And so in this way we take the very first steps towards beginning to understand what he meant when he said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. His words feed us when we are hungry, his spirit comforts us when we are lost, and his love reveals to us who we really are. Our imperfections, helplessness and brokenness are neither ignored nor diminished, but our relationship with them changes as we begin to grasp the scope of who God really is; his nature, his true capacity, his pure mercy and justice, and his constant and faithful love towards each of us.
All the limit is on the side of us, the recievers. There is no change or limit on the side of God - what he offers us is only limited by our readiness to hold out our hands and accept it, and even in that he is perfectly kind and patient, taking the first seed of acceptance that we are able to give him and carefully, gloriously nurturing it in a way that is unique and personal to each of us.
God partners with us, he weds himself to us, both as individuals and as a whole, and the more we let ourselves know of him, the more we are able to trust and open up to the fullness of who he really is.
Some of this is consistent with the teachings of the great religions of the world, but in Christ the greatness of God merges with the greatness of what it is to be a human, providing us with the perfect example of both human and divine. It is an example from which we never cease learning. And it is here, at the focal point that is Jesus, that we begin to realise that our deepest hope comes not from ourselves, and is not dependant on us or anything that we might say or do or believe. The true source of our hope is Jesus; the trust we come to have in him, the faith, the ever-growing expansion of our understanding of just how beautiful, just how worthy, just how powerful, just how mighty, just how good he really is.
That's a shorthand version of what it means to me to say that Jesus is my hope :)
So well stated. Thank you for that.
efforts re-doubled. Shills on life support, kekekekekekekek.
The Morlocks would have you submit to the point of entering the cave of despair. Resist as best you can and KNOW that "The best is yet to come" and the Heavenly Father and his first born Son want you to be safe and content... It IS getting Biblical out there pedes!!
That's always the struggle. I don't have any quit sir. Never have. When I grab what I want to defend or fight for I don't let go and I don't lose.
More power to you fren
Thank you! Been discouraged lately.
Thank you 🕊
When you are lower than a snake's belly one has no where to go but UP!
They're going to have to kill me before I'll be demoralized and give up.
good on you rustyshackleford whoever the hell you are. Keep encouraging the troops and leading from the front.
You don't know me, I am unknowable! Pocket Sand! Shashaaa!
nutter :)
Thank you for that. I needed it today. Back on track.
That’s what is going on in Alberta, Canada right now. They gained rights back after the court case challenging that the virus had been isolated. The court couldn’t prove it which means there can’t be a viable vax so they dropped mandatory vax+++. Well they reversed that today and are coming down hard. Super depressing BUT it’s all in the gaslighting playbook. Trying to break you = Time to fight!
A timely message, fren. I belong to a group that consists only of the 4-6%. Last night, I was emailing with one of the most promising sheep of the group. (This group, BTW, has fallen for the coof plandemic hook, line, and sinker.) I gave this sheep just a small, tiny sample of the most basic, inoffensive, non-partisan data on the jabs as I possibly could. Just a couple of sentences, no long diatribe. Data that can be easily verified for anyone who takes a minute or two to check. I was hoping to elicit some back-and-forth discussion. This is the response I got back:
"We'll just have to agree to disagree."
Bang! A two-by-four right between the eyes. Door slammed firmly in face.
This is the first attempt I've made with this person. It's not like I've been bugging them repeatedly or anything like that. I haven't said two words about the plandemic before last night, nor have I ever mentioned so much as an inkling of my political beliefs. Nothing.
I never expected to get so thoroughly shut down. Honestly, I've been a bit depressed and feeling down about it since it happened. To say my social circle has shrunk to almost zero is an understatement. That's why I'm so thankful for this forum and everyone who is on it. It's comforting to know that there are other glorious, tinfoil-hatted bastards out there in the world and I'm not alone.
That is tough friend. Many people genuinely don't want to know if there might be any kind of issue with the way decisions - scientific and political - are being made. And if I'm honest, I'm not sure I blame them. It's damn painful, and there's no guarantee of justice or respite any time soon, so why bother asking questions and trying to find the truth?
When people ask me things like "why aren't you vaccinated?" I say to them, "do you actually want to know? Because if you do, I'm happy to explain it to you."
Almost everyone says no. I figure that at least we have it out in the open that they want to disagree with me without understanding what it is they are actually disagreeing with...
I just keep praying to be shown the truth and continually guided towards it and away from lies and those who set out to deceive. I trust God that he hears that prayer, and there's some relief that comes from knowing I really mean it. I am honestly willing to go wherever the truth takes me, and I continue to question everything.
The principle I come back to frequently right now is, I'm not doing or believing anything that I'm not allowed to question, examine or seek to understand to my own satisfaction, and anyone who's trying to get me to break that rule is the source of the real problem.
I'm begining to like my tin-foil hat. I would love to go to a party where we all wore them with pride :)
"Do you actually want to know?"
I'll have to remember that one, fren. I'm sure, in most cases, you're correct that the answer is "no."
When this is all over and we're at long-last vindicated, we should have a YUGE party and definitely wear our tinfoil hats. Only the cool kids will have then, y'know. ;-)
“....Instead of doing that....”...... Do Something..... !
Praying won’t get US anywhere..... but doing something.... will!!

Well I'm all for doing something :) But this was aimed at people who have been ground down and need a reminder of just what it is that is grinding them down and a reminder of something they can do when at low ebb that is an alternative to despairing or giving up...
