In November 2015, my job was taken from me because I chose not to participate in their EAP (Employee Assistance Program). They were compelling me to this program because I was refusing to participate in certain "team building" exercises that I thought were intrusive and deceptive in their motives. Since I chose to not participate, they chose to terminate my employment. I have not worked for pay since then except small jobs for some family members. I did not draw unemployment benefits, on purpose.
InsteadI started searching for truth. I read books seeking to find out what is true. I searched the internet. I found Q stuff while researching about Seth Rich.
I started reading Q posts and researching on my own. I wrote down stuff to develop my core beliefs and this became my list of 21 things. I read a book, "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" to try to understand if the Bible is true. I started reading the Bible again daily to see if it was true. I started talking to God, just asking Him questions. Then I started praying, as I learned more about what I was reading.
Then God started revealing Himself to me. I wrote down what He shared about His attributes, about what I learned from His Word, about what I saw of His work in the world today. I wrote it all down. I have even shared some here on GAW.
Then I started to see God answering my prayers. I noticed He answered my prayer from 2015 in an expansive way. My prayer was regarding harassment. His answer came in my separation from my employer--and expanded from that into elimination of human trafficking, or at least, the work toward that. My prayer was limited, but God's response is not.
When I realized this, I wrote it down and Praised God. I find myself thanking God with every revelation and there are tons of them now.
There is much I wish to share. Over time I may. For now, I had better leave it with this...
From my list of 21 Things:
- God Wins.
And
- First Go To God.
I do have ego issues along with a multitude of sins.
I am often full of stuff but God knows me and those times.
That sentence is honest. I do have much to share. And, yes, over time I may share. Or I may not.
Right now there was a tiredness and so I give it a rest.
I don't remember claiming to be more righteous than anyone else. One only has to look at the vast righteousness of God+his Son to be instantly humbled. I do that. I look at the vast righteousness of God+his Son. And I shared the truth of what I do. I made no compare and contrast to anyone else. I feel silly for defending this.
Oh, choose for yourself whom or what you believe. I will do the same. I will not be silent anymore about it. You may speak and share yours also, as you have shown.
Yes I am fallible and sin, though I don't wish to. I wish to become more and more like Christ. That's true.
"Stay humble and shut up." Did I misunderstand?
I believe God works in many ways. I have read that once God even made an ass speak to the guy who was beating him because an angel was standing before them and the guy didn't see.
You last observation makes you sound like a know it all. Funny how God reveals all of us where we are.
Me, feeling silly for being defensive.
God knows about it. He is Allknowing.
Wew - so now you claim you have no ego.
I mock your claims that you have special secret divine truth that you won't share for secret reasons because no such truth exists.
You just got overly excited and forgot to be humble.
u/Dempsey may I suggest a deep breath, maybe a walk, pet a dog, something relaxing.
u/Q20191776 made a great post. It was very heartfelt and humble. Frankly, it was courageous. Many people decide not to write posts like this because they are afraid of the type of unwarranted ridicule that you selfishly interjected.
In your effort to demand OP share more and not hold back, you are (un)wittingly making members of this community think twice about sharing their own thoughts out of fear of ridicule from folks like you.
You may have good intentions (or not, hard to tell) but when you get all bent out of shape like this it makes it look like you're the one with the "too large of an ego" and lack of humility and humbleness.
You could have just scrolled on by. It would have been the easiest thing you did all day.
I encourage people to share their personal experiences and wisdom. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It takes courage to do so and I stand and applaud all who do.
If you disagree with someone or it rubs you the wrong way, consider scrolling by. Maybe think twice before commenting and ask if you are improving the conversation.
Here's to all the courageous patriots on here that take the time to be vulnerable and post their personal experiences and thoughts. YOU are the ones who make this community great.
Ride on u/Q20191776
We ride together.

Dempsey is a fighter. I can tell by his name. We need fighters among us also. I applaud his comments. They are humbling and provocative.
Thank you for your reminders about provocations and conflicts.
I said I do have ego problems. Unless there was a typo.
