Like most of us here, I have family and friends who are brainwashed and who will not wake up, and some who go so far as to ridicule my "conspiracy crap" .
It's the family that hurts. I have finally given myself permission to let go of the responsibility to save them by awakening them, and leaving that in God's hands. As a human and family member, I feel a little guilt, but I feel more empowered by the freedom to focus my time and energy on finding and bonding with like-minded people rather than wasting it on hopeless cases "because they're family" .
If my family comes to me and asks for help, of course I will help them. But I will not jeopardize my ability to protect and care for those who need me to seek that one lost sheep... that's Jesus' role, and if he works through me then so be it.
I will pray for them.
But I give myself permission to let go of the responsibility, guilt and related stress. And I encourage you to consider that if you have not done so. It's unique for each of us. Just know that it is okay.
i dont agree. i feel that is my job. and will not stop. they have not seen the evil shit like anons have. we have. but i understand everyone is different. and i would hope im not alone.
You can't force them to agree with you, fren. You'll only start damaging relationships and become isolated. Even if I agree with you, I don't wanna constantly hear about all this stuff. There has to be a balance.
My sister won’t engage in anything but “happy talk- birds and gardening “ when I try to plant a red pill seed. I’m essentially censored to her - no adult discussion debate allowed! So IMO the relationship is already damaged. She claims family love for me constantly but being censored is NOT LOVE and I’ve told her such. She responds with heart emojis. Frustrating is the non engagement!,,,
You still have dialogue. Embrace the hope.
Keep the conversation light and helpful, on the things she’s into. I did this with gardening family too—ask questions, exchange recipes. Ask if she plans to can/ freeze-dry. Anything you have a shared interest in. Then send her helpful info occasionally, like this new herbicide called Grazon Next Herbicide. I had my whole Fam to convert to more organic gardening and do research once they heard of this. It makes a farmers’ pasture lush with no weeds. But the cows/horses who eat it, pass the chemical on in their manure, and when the farmer fertilizes his garden with it, the chemicals continue to kill EVERYTHING—except grass, in the soil, for up to 10 years. If you mulch your garden with Grazon hay, or Grazon manure—your garden soil becomes barren. (No need to mention conspiracy. This is a gardener’s nightmare—and will emphasize the need to be informed and research)
It doesn’t take long for (them) to see you and your digs as helpful. It encourages them to sniff around themselves. Keep the conversation light. Pray. God will open her heart.
Constantly talking to your sister about subjects she's repeatedly indicated she doesn't want to talk about isn't an indicator of love, either.
It's pushing your opinion on someone. And that's not a good thing.
I can see both sides of these replies. I don’t overwhelm w my views but is my voicing “I’m hoping that you aren’t continuing with Booster shots” too much?? ( there was no response/dialogue induced with this either) I’ve 90% gone her route of happy talk only but sometimes it bubbles out of me in ways I suppose. All thoughtful replies to my original I do appreciate.
i dont force them fren.but i dont stop trying to get them to understand.and its been working
Right?
This is the way a decent human feels. It’s frustrating and emotionally painful to see loved ones duped and harmed by the Covid scam or other BS they propagandize.
It bothers me to have a dirty house. So I clean it. I don’t just “not worry about it”.
And of course there are times when the pain gets too high and we need a break but,yeah, keep after it!
yes sir
I actually didn't say I would stop... I can never turn away from family. But I won't feel responsible anymore. There's a difference.
Wanted to share that I appreciate your sharing this. There’s some “IYKYK” around emotional health and independence on this topic. Thanks for sharing your journey, and obviously each of us is ahead of some people and behind others, and not everyone knows which is which!
its ok to be different from each other fren. i feel that i am responsible. b\c i.m aware more than them.sorry . dont really know how to word it
I don't share the real evil shit w/ family. I just try to give them a sense of hope and peace.
i dont give them all.enough bits that they understand to a point.they can see the pain on my face when im thinking about the evil.even the ones who deny or play off the info i give them. they are starting to pay att. and listen to me.and i have trouble getting my thoughts out to ppl. thats from a brain injury i had awhile back.hard to explain. i just do my best. ohh did i just slide the thread.sorry guys
I understand not being able to communicate effectively all that’s in my brain too Fren.
thanks fren. we just do are best. if i didnt and someone i love ended up being one of the lost forever - i wouldnt forgive myself
