So you're saying that Jimmy had control over his friend transitioning to a woman? That working with Jimmy somehow could have prevented this friend from doing dumb stuff? Parents don't even have "control" over their adult kids...yet you think Jimmy could somehow have control over a friend? You say that you don't rely on many people to affirm your decisions or your beliefs, but you think somehow Jimmy has super powers over his friend? Nope. Not buying that one at all. apparently you also style yourself after "the preacher" who wrote Ecclesiastes. Or is it Eeyore of Winnie the Pooh fame? It seems like you call yourself a Christian...but somehow you're forgetting the Scriptures that tell us to rejoice without ceasing...the joy of the Lord is our strength...this woe is me, it's hopeless, everything is doomed, there is no one righteous, let's just all eat worms and die is not how we are to be living our lives here on earth. God has a remnant. Always has, always will.
That's very insightful and I do understand the points you're making. I look at things through many lenses. Me, my family, my community and humanity at large.
Humanity at large is doomed. My community I can effect change into. My family Is driven by me and I'm driven by Jesus. Those are the lenses of life we have to consider when i make decisions.
I rejoice in my lowest moments my friend. Rejoice without ceasing .... hell is empty and all the demons are here.
I long ago realized I was a slave. There is joy to be found in slavery. And the faux free know nothing of it. They step on others, trample their friends and destroy their family for material wealth, they think themselves free.
I have nothing. I have been stepped on all my life. I have been ridiculed for half of it. I am so eternally grateful for the life I've been given. There is no "woe is me". I have nothing now. There is nothing for me to lose when the world goes to shit. But lots of other people. They have lots to lose. They hold onto the things in the world. They believe in legacy, titles and status nor are you about to make a case for legacy, titles and status.
Yes Jimmy does have some control over his employee and over the content of his channel. It's true he doesn't have control over people, but ppl are not free of consequences for their actions either.
He doesn't align with the values of the brand. Time to move on from him. Yes he can be his friend. Yes as a Christian he can love him but there's no reason to support a friend that's gambling his life away, stealing from his neighbor or coveting another's things so why woukd i make an exception for sonething just as sinful? They're all sinful acts.
I take it as a compliment that I remind you of the writer. Solomon had it all and yet he despaired.
I am a slave. You are a slave.
It doesn't matter the title of my owner. Be it American Russian or Chinese. I'm a slave. There is joy in it. The owner of my heart is Jesus.
Do what you want with this body. Be careful though, my master comes like thief in the night. He was a lamb and is now a lion.
Thank you for dialing the temp of the conversation down. This post sounds more like a "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" kind of post though...not sure if you meant it in a Klaus Schwab sort of way. Agreed Jimmy's friend will never be free of the consequences of his actions...but that's part of the sadness of it all that I've been trying to make here. If you listen to the de-transitioners...this guy has a lifetime of hell facing him...even if he does try to turn back to his biological sex at some point. Those hormones and the damage they do are forever. My hope would be that if a friend of yours was so mentally unstable/demonized or whatever you want to call it that they are dooming themselves to a life of hell chemically you would not throw them to the curb and not look back or think twice about them. Do you know Jimmy hasn't had discussions with his friend? Do you know for a fact that he supports his friend's decision because he's totally fine with transgenderism? Or has he tried to talk his friend out of it and failed? It's not like Jimmy auditioned people for his videos and chose the friend so the show could be seen as "woke". No.......this guy had been on Jimmy's team for years and was a childhood friend...and started to transition after being on the team for years. Would it look better for Jimmy's "brand" if he publicly humiliated his friend, turned his back on him, and showed hatred toward him? Just how would that look for a Christian conservative white male's brand? For many, it would be un-Christlike. Jesus dined with sinners and sought them out-not to condone the sin, but to soften their hearts and open their eyes with compassion, not condemnation. It's kindness that leads us to repentance. I'm sorry you feel like you're a slave. The truth sets us free, and we are to no longer be slaves to sin, fear, our jobs or anything else except the Lord. I totally agree with your last statement...thanks for posting such a powerful set of words!
