Oh shit. Don't ever watch Xiden then. And he is the so called president...
No, i wanted to go. I didn't even think of going to Boston and not going to the wedding. But once you said that, i thought that she probably WOULD be happy with that and i had never thought to offer that. You provided my best case solution.
i totally agree. It's in Boston, though. They are all brainwashed and elitist (if you didn't graduate from Ivy League, you are not spoken to).
I have to say thanks again. That's is such a great idea and i can't believe i didn't even think of it. I called my mom and told her this and she was so relieved and happy that i would still want to go even if i couldn't go to the wedding so that she could get around. Really great advice. Thank you.
The last thing i want is an issue with my sister. That is the point. I never said i wasn't wanting to go to the wedding. Just that i won't get the jab. However, if that is an issue for her, then Jesus did warn us. I am hoping that this isn't the case:
Matthew 10:34. Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35“For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 36and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
I like that idea. Thank you.
I have thought that exact same thing too. I won't start a war with my family but I won't back down from my position. If they choose to make war it will be one they won't win.
I don't think this will cause her to reject me. She loves me dearly and is a very caring and considerate, ethical person. That is why this is so troubling. She is older mentors me a lot and I respect her very much. That's why i am so perplexed at how she can not question any of the narrative. She is smarter than me when it comes to lots of things, but detecting manipulation and discernment, that's where i have always outshined her. She doesn't realize it necessarily though. I just know she is going to be disappointed in me and think less of me and that hurts. I believe she will respect my feelings but it will put some distance between us.
I love you for saying that! Thank you. We really are on an island. The saddest part is that all the conservatives we know are almost as asleep as the liberals. I swear, it's like around the same time they started working on Cern, overnight everyone drank the Kool Aid. It happened so quickly. People who used to share the same values doing complete 180.
I get it but I couldn't do that. It's part of my convictions and I am not backing down from that. I don't talk much about my relationship with God but I won't back down from it either. I can be quiet about it but i am not going to lie to avoid it. I am probably the only one she knows who hasn't taken the vaccine, so that may be instrumental down the road in some way that only God knows. I'd like to think there is some purpose in all of this and that He can turn it around, like He does. I want everyone to know Who's side i stand on and stood on during this time. This is the time to know who's team you are playing on and stand by it.
My mother would most likely not be able or willing to travel alone. She has had the jab.
Thank you for that.
I will gladly take those. Thank you and hugs back.
The airlines aren't requiring it yet. She wants me to get the vaccine out of consideration for her immune-compromised friends' sake. If it were me and I was immune-compromised and that worried, i wouldn't be going, but that's just my opinion.
Remember how CNN warned us? "This is an apple. Some people will tell you it's a banana. But it's not. It's an apple." Ever since then, CNN, etc. has been telling us that every apple is really a banana, even though they aren't. They are apples.
Wow. Not surprising unfortunately.
You mean, it's not designated as "Christian" or it is but they don't adhere to Christian principles?
Wow. A Christian school. And this is why i stopped going to my church.
No, they were sick with symptoms. Flu probably, but they had it.
well, all i can say is that our son and his girlfriend had been quarantined in our house with covid for the last couple of weeks and neither I nor my better half got it. We are both smokers.
Oh, I see it completely in the reverse. I think conservatives think what was wrong yesterday is still wrong today and will be wrong tomorrow. Our morals are our morals whether the community agrees or not. I think liberals only care about whatever the popular issue is at the time and will gain them the most brownie points. If they were back in times of slavery when it was wrong to treat black people as anything but a slave, they would all own slaves and shame you for talking or be-friending any black people. I don't think they care at all what side of history they are on, so long as they are on the "moral high ground" today.
Q is made up of people with high level military clearance. That doesn't sound like McAffee to me.
I think someone is having fun with us. Sounds like B.S. to me.
Last Monday, my son's girlfriend started having symptoms and ended up testing positive. Three days later, my son's symptoms started. They both have been here almost every day before and after they had it. We were careful to keep them mostly quarantined in their room and wiped down everything they touched once we knew they had it and my husband and I started taking Airborne. During this week, they both started with slight fever for a very short time but most of the week they were just dizzy. They still played video games in their room and watched tv, and though they felt dizzy, it certainly wasn't the worst flu they ever had. They were functional. Now, all of their symptoms are gone, except for an occasional cough that started a couple of days ago. And so far, my husband and I are not showing any symptoms at all. And though it probably doesn't need to be said, none of us has had the "vaccine".
Thank you, Friend. We are in this together.
