In my county (kansas/joco) we use dominion and many of us believe fraud 100%
messaged my friend in Maricopa county after I saw this and she walked her ballot in on Election Day. She checked and it says she isn’t even registered to vote! She was sent a ballot!
It’s challenging not to get extremely discouraged and lose hope but a good nights sleep will help. I can’t deny seeing this isn’t demoralizing over and over again, it has to get better! Too many people just still don’t see it, maybe this will help more people see it and demand accountability.
Yes definitely, I’m torn between so many emotions right now with the state of our world it’s nice to have a laugh.
On my phone/iPad if I type praying or pray 🙏 this is what I get this is high five 🙌 but funny either way
Ok I laughed but even still I could never! Just the thought of lab grown meat and especially from a human yikes.
Not sure if you belong to a church or not but many churches have programs and resources. One of my young boys got ensnared in something and we got him into counseling which helped, we sought our referral from someone in our church. We found a veteran, who aligns with our values and morals. Shame is a cycle and Satan will use it to keep you ensnared. We can sometimes be our own worst enemy and beat ourselves up as opposed to humbling ourselves admitting our mistakes and seeking help, comfort and strength when we get stuck. My son couldn’t get past his shame and felt like he could never be “good” again. Our Lord and our Savior loves each of us and want us to have happiness, repentance is difficult but I don’t believe the Lord wants us to suffer in misery and shame, that’s Satan. I told my son no matter what I love him and he has to forgive himself and when he falters just start again because the Lord and his family is on his side and wants him to find happiness and peace. He is past it, but it has been a rough road and he was very young to have to deal with it (pornography). Our children are being exposed so young and especially girls, the average age is 10. I shared these videos with my son, this may not be your issue but it may align with how you feel, but seek out others who have overcome their addiction and talk with them, hiding in shame is a vicious cycle. You don’t have to confess your sins to the world but opening up to others is the first step, seek help from those who will be on your side. This is a video of a young girl who struggled with porn addiction, it’s the first video I found for my son and I cried when I realized how he must have felt. Have faith, pray and the Lord will listen but unfortunately it’s not simple. You will be in my prayers friend. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2015-03-0005-pornography-addiction-is-there-hope?lang=eng
Thank you for the information!
I haven’t in a few years because I’m avoiding doctors! I need to find private pay because I’m not eligible for regular insurance and insurance is a racket- so it’d be the VA and they are pushing the death jab. I moved to a new state just before covid so I don’t trust anyone here, basically I don’t want to waste my money paying a doctor who just pushes the propaganda. A friend suggested a chiropractor but again I just don’t know who to go to
I’m trying to figure out where to start, I’ve started improving food/gardening but as for water/supplements I’m at a loss. I’m always tired, granted I have 6 kids but they aren’t babies anymore and I hate feeling so tired all the time. We drink bottled water but we can’t really afford to fix the house water yet. What toothpaste do you recommend? Is there a resource somewhere for all this stuff. I don’t know what to trust because we are finding everyone lies!
I get it from my church distribution, you can try to find one near you by going to provident living.org and look for one. They do have #10 canned wheat, rice, powder milk, some fruit (depends on location and harvest) and vegetables, sugar and beans rice and more. They have a list on their website. I haven’t used it yet because I use my flour that I store in buckets and rotate. I still need to invest in a grinder but basically you grind it yourself for flour, the benefit is it is stable for 25-30 years whereas flour goes bad much sooner. The grinders are pricey and I haven’t bought one yet but I really need to, I may just grab a kitchen aid one until I can afford a nice one. I guess if sh** hits the fan before I’ll be using rocks 😂
If there was a famine the staples that keep you alive…wheat, lentils, beans, rice etc. they all can last 25-30 years if stored correctly. They are also still relatively inexpensive compared to other items. I purchase 25 lb bags of hard red and white grain and store them in Mylar bags with o2 absorbers in food grade buckets. Long story I won’t go into but I really buckled down 2 1/2 years ago getting food supplies slowly but surely. I started with canned goods that we would eat, stuff I could make into meals, oils, fats, and so on but they don’t last extremely long and I’m not fan of canned food. So I have a couple months supply of canned, I splurged and bought some freeze dried but it’s expensive and I’m a family of 8, we have a few buckets of those emergency supplies from places like my patriot supply that we could grab if we had to leave our home in a hurry. Now I rotate what I buy, sugar (lasts a long time), flour (won’t last as long and I rotate) powder milk stored correctly can last 25+ years. Honey is a good one to store, Peanut butter, nuts last a good while. Now my strategy is to build up the keep you alive staples and have seeds on hand. If there was a famine wheat, oats, beans and rice will keep you alive. You can always hunt. Plant, forage etc. start by purchasing just a little extra of what you use and each month grab some of the staples. I can get the wheat for about $17 for a 25 lb bag. I have seeds stored in my freezer and have also started a garden. I brought lots of mason jars, extra lids and stuff to can just in case and if I get a good enough supply from my garden. I heard when people went crazy with covid canning supplies were difficult to find. Water also is a good thing to have. I have six kids so there is no way I could store a years supply although that’s what my church has recommended forever, I did the math and I’d need something like 45 buckets of wheat. Check out Provident living for tips, there are also lots of prepper groups but just finding somewhere to start small helps. It can be so overwhelming.
My husband is still somewhat skeptical about how deep it all goes. He isn’t completely naive but his brother told him to watch Stranger Things…not usually my cup of tea but my daughter wanted to watch it so I’ve been watching it with them. In it they talk about Mkultra and a little girl has been stolen by the government and experimented on/abused/used. My husband talking about the main scientist guy keeps getting so mad and wants to see him die already, he just keeps saying he feels so bad for Eleven. I keep wanting to say things about real people like Fauci and what he’s done, Gates and what he’s done, Hunter and Pedo Peter and all the others who use and abuse kids in real life. Once people like my husband realize what’s been done to the children they will want to see executions, crimes against children will unite everyone.
It would make me sad for my kids if they left the church but it’s honestly because your mom loves you. I imagine it’s more difficult for families who have been members for generations. My parents were both converts, but even my husband whose family has been for generations, his brother left the church and no one says anything negative to him. We just love him as normal. He is a great man and father and that’s what matters most. I’d be more sad if my children got involved in drugs etc but he just decided he didn’t believe and is successful and happy. He does say he is thankful for being raised a member because of the values but that’s about it.
I guess I’m not super great because I don’t go around trying to convert others. I know that’s a big part but I just kind of answer questions if people have them, tell my story and if someone seems interested I of course would offer more or invite them to church but having grown up around mostly non members and never served a mission as I joined the army I never could be pushy. I don’t think it helps personally. Again being the only active sibling in my family I understand how and why people leave. I don’t criticize or judge any of them about leaving, free agency is the point of it all.
My brother and sister in laws live in Utah, rest of family is in Az and they love it I’ve only been once but after living in Mesa as an adult I knew I couldn’t live around that many members. I was never the stereotypical (if there really is one) member and had a difficult time fitting in as a young girl. Only member my age in my very small community Branch and the girls in the stake were mean to me…long story short I have my own issues and have loathed relief society for many reasons. After moving to my new state we had planned to try a bit harder but covid threw a wrench in that. I believe my religion but I struggle with some of the culture and always have. I just do my best and feel everyone else is doing the same so not to hold grudges or get offended. Midwest people are just so nice, I can’t tell if I’ve made friends or they just tolerate me because they are nice.
I’m from Arizona and could never live in Utah (nothing personal) I love my religion but there is something different when living near so many members so maybe that’s it. I had a hard time living in Mesa where everyone is a member. I’m in the Midwest so I have one neighbor in my Ward. My brother is like you, my 5 siblings are inactive and I understand why. For me I find more stability and peace in following it and giving my kids a good foundation. Teaching values and the importance of family is big for me. My grandfather was a convert and he always said “it’s either true or it’s not, either way it’s a good way of life”. That’s how I feel, when I left the church I drank and smoked and turned against all my values. I don’t ever judge anyone for leaving, or believing differently. For me it saved my life and I met my amazing husband. My kids can choose for themselves when they turn 18…my oldest is 17 and we are not sure if he will choose to serve a mission or not but it’s his choice not mine. I don’t believe in following blindly, I have no problem questioning my Bishop or Stake President if I think they are wrong and I have no problem calling out anyone who does something I think is wrong. I’ve got tons of stories and rubbed some people the wrong way in my current ward because of covid. We moved in the week church was shut down.
I’m sorry you’ve had such a terrible experience with imperfect people in the church. I can’t say I’ve had the same and feel the complete opposite. I feel completely valued and teach my daughter and 5 sons they are both valued equally while having different roles. I have met some jerks in the church and met jerks out. I was molested by a man who was NOT a member of the church and my sis was molested by our step dad who was an absolute creep and pathological liar who was a member. He was not protected by anyone! I’ve never met anyone in the church protected for being a pedo and was always told we have to report. Do they all…no? Because just being a member of a church, any church, doesn’t make a person perfect. The man who molested me got off…he abused both his daughters and he didn’t belong to any church. I’ve been a member my whole life, but inactive when I was in the military. We all have different experiences but I do not believe as an institution the church condones or protects pedos. No church authority is perfect, not a single one in any religion. I trust in God above all, I didn’t get the jab even thought the Prophet recommended it, he isn’t infallible and I think it was the wrong call but many did 🤷♀️
Yup and that’s what I tell my children. I tell my kids that in some places and in history there are people would would kill their brother in a heartbeat because he is not what they think a productive member of society is and therefore no use. We understand more than those evil people and have to stand up to them and stand up for the vulnerable. It starts by valuing ALL life, even those who have not taken a breath. It’s so evil and sick
Oh yeah maybe. I understand Mexican culture so that would make sense. I grew up in a Arizona farming community south of Phoenix. My sister married the son of Mexican immigrants. I helped take care of her kids and spent many days and nights with their family. Her brother in law always joked about marrying me but I was young (like 15/16). They always had big parties. Our community celebrated Cinco De Mayo as well as Native American celebrations as well lived right near and Indian Reservation. It was fun, back when it was ok to celebrate with other heritages and not be called out for appropriation.
Sounds like they might be getting supplies for a restaurant especially if they were getting perishables.
I don’t regret it at all, after the surgery was pretty gross but it’s so nice to be able to not have my nostrils collapse when I breathe through my nose and be able to breathe a little bit more freely. I didn’t have any problems post surgery either, just very gross for a few days
Yeah that’s what I thought about it as well, I don’t get pain or sick or anything just the stones. Unfortunately if they get bad they will cause bad breath. Some people can get infections but as I don’t I decided it wasn’t worth it to take them out when I was looking at getting my nose fixed which actually was an issue. I sometimes use q tips if there is one stuck and I know it’s there. They are just so disgusting. I had a friend who got such a bad infection she had to get her tonsils out (mid 30’s) but she had a rough go after surgery which is partially why I was nervous
She says she has reached out to holistic doctors who gave her detox a couple times but she thinks it’s too late. I told her to reach out to a mutual friend who I know is antivaxx in that state and may have resources there. I think she is pretty much anti doctor now.
