Frens,
TLDR: To have a phone/Zoom call with me/others and break free from the chains of the sterility & disconnectedness of internet message boards. To form REAL human friendships with like-minded pedes.
As we all know society, culture, and Satan want us divided. Not only that, they want us isolated in our own living spaces communicating only via texting, chat/message boards, DM’s, etc. According to their plan, the more we stay isolated away from each other, and rely, on our sterile internet communication methods the better.
God, on the other hand, wants the opposite for us. He wants us in real human community with one another. Talking, not typing. Seeing faces with mouths move. Hearing voices and noting inflection and energy level.
I am struggling right now. I feel alone and sad. I cannot continue to stay in a vacuum of anonymity and black letters with white backgrounds. I need to talk to some fellow pedes. I need that real human interaction that God intended. I don’t have a single REAL friend who is awake like we are. I have hundreds of GAW “friends,” just like I have thousands of FB “friends.” It’s not reality. It’s keeping me down and and it’s keeping our movement down. So many people in our society are suffering with depression and loneliness even though we are so “connected” via devices. This isn’t real connection. It’s surface level only. I have tried to connect with frens on here before but it is always one excuse or the other as to why someone doesn’t like Zoom or like phone calls.
Now, some of you may be afraid of me/others being unauthentic & posing as frens but being the opposite. Some of you find comfort in the safe bubble of anonymity. I get it. But sometimes we need to break through our comfort zone to experience truly great things in life.
Here is my challenge to you: I am willing to facilitate a bi-weekly Zoom/phone conversation with any and all pedes who are tired of the culturally influenced world of internet-only communication. If any one would like to be brave, and take a risk , and go out on a limb by building relationships with one another then let me know. Society, the world, the sheep all stick to internet comms. We should not copy them.
Anyone who is interested in getting to know me/others on a real level please let me know. I can’t keep going through everyday knowing what we know and not having ANYONE to actually talk to about it. I’m tired of typing and reading. I need more. I need what God designed for us: true human commune.
If you want to be a part of a bi-weekly Zoom/phone meetup let me know. Hopefully we will all get to know each other much better and build real friendships because of it.
God bless.
Hi! I’m up for a zoom meet of pedes. I’ve been wondering how to connect with local folks in my town who might be more conservative if not full MAGA. I have not done the work to try to find them, but I believe they are out there.
I agree that isolation and connecting only online isn’t really as satisfying. I want to recommend you get the next door app and start reading posts. Most of my neighbors are crazy libs but occasionally I find someone’s comment that makes me think they are more conservative. I’ve thought of direct messaging these people to see if anyone wants to meet up for a cup of coffee or a beer once a month. I have not yet done that. I’ve also looked at Meetup.com to see if there are any conservative groups in my area… you can check them. I have seen a Facebook Republican MAGA Group that’s about 30 miles away, so you might be able to meet some folks in your area that way. I’m just suggesting this in case your zoom idea doesn’t take off for some reason.
That said, I’d be happy to participate… My husband and I are over 60 and we’d love to chat with other MAGA people of any age.
When you say bi weekly, do you mean twice a week or twice a month?
I believe you can make this happen!
PS… if you message me and I don’t reply right way, it’s because I’m not online most of the day.
Hey there! That would be awesome. I’m just thinking about anything that works for you/others as it relates to the frequency of communication. I’d love to connect with you and your husband. Do you know how to message? Because I don’t! Glad we can connect.
I don't even know how to zoom.
Zoom is the simplest thing to do. You just have to download the app (free) to your computer, or tablet or phone. Then the “host” person sends you an email with the date and time scheduled, and a “link” to the zoom. At that time and date, you open your email, click on the “link” and you will see a screen that might say,”the host will let you in soon.” When the host notices you are trying to get in to the meeting, he or she will click, and you will suddenly be looking at a screen with one or more people and you can talk. Sometimes you have to click on a spot to unmute your microphone.
Get the zoom app, in the settings you can test out your video, audio, and see how it looks. Test it with a friend or family member. It’s free between a couple of people, but for a group, the “host” has to pay a monthly fee.
Sounds simple enough, even for for a non savvy computer person, like me.
