Never. Ever. Ever did I think I would make a post like this my frens and anons. I could use some prayers.
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
It's time to make a stand and go it alone. I have to protect my daughter and keep her out of a school system that has harmed her already. I'm going to stand up to a system that we all know. I'm going to do it peacefully.
I pray that God will be with me. And that you will too, a bunch of people I have never met but are important to me regardless.
Peer pressure.
One of my co-workers has a son who was talking to a girl who said she wants to be a boy.
It's socially contagious.
For a time I had wanted to be a horse, at about age 6. younger than that, I thought being a German Shepherd would be awesome (age 5). I think it is arrested childhood, making believe, etc. One of my sons friends turned gender nuetral, but his mom is a lesbian and his dad is a horn dog, he went through living with both and their various partners. He also knows someone who ended up being a furry. I think it's "make pretend" that they didnt do as kids, because children are being handed tablets at kindergarten, and the brain is not allowed to be creative, and go through those phases at an appropriate age. Puberty hits and everything is so sexualized, the kids cant even mature into that, they are pushed to identify their sex lives before they even have one. Maybe it is an escape from that, too.
Saw a kids' show, "The Saddle Club" once with an episode where the young girl decides she does not want to be a vet. She feels badly because she has wanted this since she was very little.
The vet just laughs and says, "When I was five, I wanted to be a cat."
…when the hammer meets the nail
Peer pressure is part of indoctrination. It was specifically called out in the original design of the public (government) school system as a powerful tool in training young minds. Their openly-stated goals were to replace family and church with government and state, to turn out compliant obedient workers ready for the inevitable consolation with communism. Yes, they said this in front of Congress, in their testimony applying for funding. It was never about moral education, but degradation and corruption to the lowest common denominator.
Same with our soon to be ex daughter in law who left my son for someone else just after their first anniversary three years ago. Mentally abused by her adoptive family made her spiritually immature and susceptible to every kind of craziness out there and she decided she is Bi after talking to someone online who claimed they were. Now after three years, supposedly a new boyfriend has an issue with her still being married, thus the divorce finally happening. My son was still in love with her so kept waiting, pleading and praying for her to come back but she’s wayyy past crazytown now. Don’t think she was ever really all in on their marriage and that her accepting Jesus and getting baptized was all a sham.
God made us and dwells within us. Therefore children need to learn very early that we respect God when we respect ourselves. Our sex was determined by God as part of His divine plan at birth. Any attempt to change that goes against that plan. When we align with God and his plan and thus allow Him to lead us, our lives have richness and meaning and we enjoy His grace and blessing. When children learn that early they are better able to resist the temptations of the devil and his minions. They are able to set a better example to those around them.
This. All parents must establish the philosophical basics in their families- even Socrates the heathen worked out that there is absolute good and that we must always better ourselves and our children toward the good. (He also established that God would be perfect goodness, which was very contrary to the Greek pantheon, harmful to temple profits, and therefore he was sentenced to death...)
Truth is not relative- as soon as you preface something ("his" truth, "social"justice), you split it away from the absolute and corrupt it. The sun is hot, the sky is blue, water is wet, there are two sexes. Anything else is pretend, which is okay for kids playing, storytelling, but never to insist that fantasy is real. (Sophistry, again back in ancient times, was all about "relative" truth, used to excuse all sorts of cringe and immorality, and was successfully debunked way back then, too.)
There really isn't much new under the sun, it turns out! Keeping the enslaved populace ignorant is also a time-honored technique to maintain power.
Litecola2, here and elsewhere you’ve provided excellent commentary
Thank you, this community makes me delve deeper, think harder and pray more than anywhere else, except our homeschool!
Is the sun hot though? Or is it only hot in relation to an organism such as ours that is sensitive to it in such a way that it produces the feeling of heat? Take anything hotter than the sun, and we know there are plenty of things hotter than our sun, can you still claim the Sun is hot when compared to an object hotter than it? Is the sky blue? Well for us who have eyes that can see color, and given certain environmental factors, of course it is, but given those same eyes at night time the sky is black, which one is really true? Is the sky blue or is it black? Is there an "absolute reality" that we can experience directly? Or can we only experience things relative to the way our organism is structured and the environment that we are a part of?
See, when you use language there isn't a way a proper way to talk about something like the absolute undivided nature of reality and God, because the moment you attach a name to it you have created a division. In reality nothing is divided, there are no seperate things, as you say "truth is not relative", but how can you experience that as a sensation, how can you feel something that is completely undivided? The entire experience of being a conscious human is in relation to something, the entire reason we can even feel ourselves existing whatsoever is because we also feel that there are things that aren't us we feel divided from called "the external world". To be able to feel at all you absolutely have to have some type of blockage, some type of force obstructing you, something that feels other than you, that doesn't mean that in reality this thing is actually seperate from you, but to be able to experience it whatsoever you must atleast feel it as so, otherwise there's nothing to feel!
So while the underlying nature of reality, of existence, of God, is a kind of undivided absolute truth, our experience of it is not. Can you conceive experiencing what it might be like to feel absolutely everything all at once, with absolutely no distinctions and nothing to divide the experience at all? An experience wherein you cannot tell yourself apart from anything around you, you cannot tell "something" from "nothing", an absolute experience. Personally, I can't. Or if I can, it would be something akin to experiencing the sensation of absolutely nothing happening at all. The only reason I seem to be capable of feeling anything at all is that I am able to distinguish between experiences. And from the experiences I can distinguish between these all seem to be relative, for example, the sensation of heat depends entirely on how close I am to something that is producing heat. I don't just feel heat randomly, I can't conjure up the feeling of heat out of thin air, it is only relative to my environment that I feel heat whatsoever. Also, my experience of feeling heat depends on the existence of another feeling that isn't heat I experience, it's the reason why when you hold your hand under hot water for long enough it stops feeling so hot, and the same thing when you go from sitting in a hot tub for an hour into a lukewarm pool you feel the pool is freezing whereas normally it's warm. The way we experience reality is relative, if it weren't then someone like a "masochist" could never exist, pain would be something absolute.
Another thing you have to remember as well, and this is critically important but it is something so basic that we have forgotten it. Words, no matter what words they are, no matter how amazing and correct they sound when you hear them, are not the reality they are describing. When you say something like "look at this rock I'm holding", the reality of you holding a rock is not the words "look at this rock I'm holding", those words, if spoken, are a sound, a sound that only has any kind of meaning if there is someone nearby who speaks the language. In other terms, words are a symbol, they represent reality, they are not that reality itself, they are an abstraction.
Need an entire bottle of Thousand Island or Ranch to go with that word salad. Ya lost me when I tuned out halfway through that mumbo jumbo.

No. You're getting into distraction by semantics. Go back to Aristotle and his very nice breakdown of reality, visible invisible soul and form. Set aside twisty words, because you're taking down a relativist pathway and start again with truth. Rose is a rose even if you call it poop; it has the intrinsic form of a rose and the building blocks to produce more rose.
Amen well said
God is within, a part of, united with, absolutely anything and everything. Absolutely nothing is outside of God's territory, indeed even people who seem to be behaving in the strangest ways are still united with God and their actions are the activity of God. To suggest otherwise suggests that God is not God, that God only creates part of the universe and the rest is sourced from elsewhere. The Bible directly contradicts this, as well as provides the suggestion to not form ideas about God, such as what "God's plan" might be, infact it discourages any sort of thoughts about the nature of God and what the future might hold altogether.
Issiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."
God is the author of everything, including those things you do not like and consider evil.
Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"
Things like what God's plan might be are a mental image. Ultimately all images are mental, an image is an idea, there is no tangible thing called "image" you can place your finger on. Even something like a physical statue or photograph can only be said to be an "image" in relation to the thoughts and ideas you form about it.
Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Another suggestion to not worry about such things as "God's plan" and what God may do in the future. Experience for yourself what God is doing, for absolutely anything and everything that you experience if there is such a thing as a plan can be said to be part of it, and naturally the point of a plan isn't that you sit there thinking about it all the time, thats the entire reason you made a plan in the first place! The point is the execution of the plan, the feeling and directly experiencing of reality, of unity with God right this moment, not some far off future event, it's the reality right infront of our faces! Actually to say it is infront of our faces seems to suggest that our face isn't a part of it, as long as you work in the realm of words and language, logical thinking, this sort of bind will always exist, hence the advice to move beyond images and quit thinking about the future.
I dealt with a gentleman recently who has had to deal with the notion that his daughter identifies as a cat.
Dude looked absolutely beaten.
I watched the same horror show happen with my cousin's daughter. Went into full meltdown mode after joining the school's "unofficial" LGBTQ "club." She graduated because she's very book smart, but now she wears a pink mullet and goes by the name of "Kyle." Even started wrapping her chest to hide her breasts. Yet, she has a boyfriend. Had some words with my cousin over it and she wouldn't even look at any of my research into CRT, SEL, etc. It's sad and aggravating what these so-called "educators" have done to the children.
It's not possible w/o indoctrination. It's deliberate and part of their overall agenda of destroying the family which is the building block of society.
