Yes, it is the right thing to do if they do not seek to destroy you for your beliefs. It's on continuum, isn't it.
Jesus said something about it is the sick who need doctors. However, there comes a point where loving from a distance is best for all.(we are not Him)
Hopefully, your loved ones reciprocate the level of devotion you have for them.
i was not aware of the historical component!
I always took "enjoy the show" to mean that all we are seeing is optics in the public sphere-- too much of it is fake so detach from that. With faith you can know that regardless of what they are trying to tell is happening, God is our Father and we can connect with him. Maybe this whole thing is a "show" -- despite the very real suffering.
In short, imho, the phrase is somewhat ambiguous -- but don't get wrapped up in the drama resonates with me.
The beauty of capitalism before the narcissistic libtards took over was that it was based on the premise that the vendor served his customer by giving him something he valued. In exchange, the customer gave the vendor money.
The beauty of their destruction is that by destroying what was good and making it garbage, they have driven people away from consumption and back towards spirituality. So while I am sad about the loss, I am glad that the mask is off. It was not as hard to say good bye as I expected.
anything 1970s or earlier is still good enough as far as I'm concerned. :)
Ah--- you got some downvotes for that comment :).
it's all good. we've all got our own way of contributing to the success of the group. even naysayers ;).
I am glad to hear it!
So disturbing.
I wonder if Russia will ever be a top emmigration spot?
not because it is mathematically impossible. they would react that way because they wouldn't like the way it made them feel.
math is racist so ..... ignore it!
meeting some seemingly based new people (we moved) and i am SHOCKED at the level of naivete in seemingly educated intelligent conservative folk!
they are single vaxxed-- not getting booster. don't know about the WEF. believe that Ukraine became good overnight. I don't dare discuss population and culture patterns and norms (racist -- tho they are more recessively genetic than I am).
Naive to the economic crash coming. Ugh!!
People working so so hard to avoid looking at the obvious.
came here to say EXACTLY that. EXACTLY.
Oregon you say?
arrested in washington? portland perv for sure.
I am so sorry! Just keep praying and she may come around when the real pain hits her. It's coming and there are no atheists in a foxhole.
If you've ever had the luxury of "fitting in," it is very hard to let go of that.
Fortunately, hearing loss, asperger's (and the associated moral rigidity) spared my daughter from conversion. No same aged friends most of her life, but never converted.
Peterson talks about the failure to make friends with your peers in childhood being problematic -- but he should have added -- "it depends."
Prayers to you and your daughter that she may see the Truth.
Thank you.
I tried both on my phone and then about an hour later on my laptop! very strange.
and especially good article for us as my daughter already has mild hearing loss (born with it) so risking further hearing loss would have been.... well, you get it.
Another validating point for her decision to walk away from those scholarships and oh so bright future with the military.
THANK YOU!! What a great thing to see! I bet this harpy was a teacher in public schools back in the day.
Her husband should have cut her loose long ago-- or when the kids were grown.
From Portland you say?
SO WHAT. It made my day! Daughter and I had a great laugh over it!
I bet she also thinks the government cares about her.
All. alive or not alive. All-- as the impulse moves them.
there are reasons that make homeschooling harder. the list is too long to get into. you are correct that most ppl overestimate the work required and fail to focus on the goal -- thinking the public school process is the way.
fortunate you found a college you can trust.
my daughter was on 2 scholarships (military and engineering) but unfortunately, her UW experience was horrid. Shocking the amount of insanity in the military and hard science classes ......
I had so many positive memories of Disney as a child. It saddened me to cut them off -- even tho my children are old enough to understand the need to do so.
This woman is a pedophile. She is obsessed with the sexual practices of her children. DISGUSTING.
While our community teaches our children about their role in the family, role in society, duty to God and his love for them, she and her ilk teach children to focus on genitalia and the need for the big O. Special place in hell for her.
Spot on with consumerism and hypnotizing the masses. A lot of ppl on this thread talk about so much changing in our society post WWII.
Okay, what else changed.... look at the 1950s. Prosperity and consumerism. Life was one big party for a big chunk of America (as compared to the deprivation of the war years).
Thus opening the door for more selfishness (narcissism). Women are working for fulfillment now and not to help support their families. Porn and promiscuity is on the uptick as more men are exposed to multiple avenues for gratification while their wives are less devoted to family. Children observe selfishness and comfort as "normal."
Unseen forces emphasizing self, sensuality, consuming, and the pursuit of wealth to buy these things.
The majority of the population become hooked on comfort and pleasure. Letting men have free reign to express deviance and be free of their duty to protect the vulnerable and the innocent, good men become harder to find. Once they are in the minority, the good men become demonized when they attempt to defend against danger.
Then, once society has degenerated to the point of mostly sensual, pleasure driven people dependent on the infrastructure for their "drug," all that needs to happen to control the masses is to make access to the drug dependent on certain behaviors.
Klaus Schwab enters the room. On his right is Zuckerberg, on his left Bill Gates. Problem solved.
Hey, I just want to say thank you for all your great posts and research. Keep it up and let ppl do as much work as they are inclined to if they are interested in the story.
waste of time to bicker over presentation style. Someone did a post on the Wahlenburg family and he got a ton of crap for not making it easy to read. So, because it is easy for me to edit (as opposed to some of the amazing research some of you all do), I just put paragraph breaks in and a few headers and reposted on the same timeline. Got some nice bravos in return from a few readers.
There are new folks on the thread all the time, somexs we forget, and somexs our focus shifts and the "old" stuff is helpful.
Hope your day is awesome purkiss!
What?!
ONLY God knows what's in our hearts. Forgiveness is between him and God.
If we forgive, it is for our own benefit -- to remove the pain of anger from our own hearts.
