I am currently reading Senator Josh Hawley's new book, Manhood. Senator Hawley approaches the topic from a biblical standpoint. The battle isn't so much between good and evil as it is between the culture of narcissism or, Epicureanism as he views it, and preserving basic societal constructs such as the family and the traditional roles of mother and father. In summary, Senator Hawley's thesis is that 'Dad Energy' is the antidote to most of our contemporary problems.

I like Josh Hawley, but I believe Greg Laurie’s take: “Satan is primarily the one responsible for the gross perversion, injustice, violence. The devil has infiltrated politics, the media, religion and has brought about a delusion. But the clock is ticking for the devil. Satan knows his time is limited. His destruction is sure, he will be cast into hell to be tortured and he would like to take as many with him as possible. For now he is taking people captive to do his will , see 2 Tim 2:26 and is binding the minds of those who do not believe (2 Cor 4:4)

I just said this very same statement about Lucifer today while talking to the office person at the new doctors' group I started using last year--they're "off the grid" and, therefore, have NO hospital privileges--even though all of the practitioners have gone through the required schooling, taken the Hippocratic Oath, and have their licenses to practice medicine. BUT NO HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES...I told the office person, "They're KILLING us ....legally". Her response..."It's NOT legal"---I told her I hope that REAL doctors who believe in "doing no harm" will start building their OWN hospitals that do NOT require listening to the CDC and taking Federal government funds..Her response is, "It's happening". That gave me some HOPE!!

There used to be some real Christian hospitals. My daughter was born in a small RC one with a cucifix in every room, etc as was my husband. They went bankrupt around the same time CVS put all privately owned pharmacies out of business by opening up one every mile.

WE are an oligarchy of corporate and other influences, not a democracy. (Princeton study 2014; conveniently hidden from google searches)

There are many compound pharmacies that are private.

There are still "indy" practitioners and pharmacies--but you have to hunt for them and travel 50-60 miles each way. Most people don't want to pay "out of pocket" and travel long distances to get prescriptions filled. Thankfully--the pharmacies are usually "online" as well as B & M stores so your prescriptions can be shipped to you. Can't "ship" physicians to you though!

YES...these doctors/nurses are all Mennonites and they treat the Amish a great deal. You know...ALL of the Amish they treated for the Wuhan Virus (which were very few in number) did NOT go to the hospital--they were treated with Ivermectin and supplementation and they all recovered--NOT ONE DEATH!

They will have to do this and we need this if all that is projected comes to fruition like jab tracking and halting of transactions.

He was a speaker at one of the FreePA meetings held in 2021 - FreePA is a grassroots freedom (medical and personal) advocacy group that sprang up in PA as a result of the draconian DEMONratic Gov. Wolf's mandates (we even had a special election in 2021 to make certain we would NEVER go through this again - the measure to prevent Governor's from extending the "Emergency Health" act for more than 3 weeks passed by a slim margin--but at least it PASSED (PRAISE GOD). I believe you just have to start asking around online to "Medical Freedom Advocacy" groups - perhaps the FLCCC group that is composed of many different types of medical practitioners would be a good "starting source", Lisa. HTH you in your search.

I'm very interested in this issue. My understanding is that federal regulations make it very very difficult for anyone outside these huge hospital conglomerates to function legally. It is terribly unjust. I'm glad some are fighting to change this!

I am sure if such a legislation passed in Congress it's because our legislators were "paid off" by the corporations who bought out all the "smaller practices" and "hospitals/care facilities" around the country. This all started in the 1990's and by the time I returned to PA from CA in late 2000--NONE of the smaller practices were available--they had all been bought off! IT IS A DISGRACE and a DIRECT VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH.

I also believe the devil's time is almost up and he is working maniacally to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible before he's taken down. Indeed this was foretold by Pope Leo XIII in 1884. He heard satan and God talking and Satan was given more power to destroy the Church. But we know that the gates of hell will not prevail against her. If anyone is interested in the other prophetic visions and miracles on this topic let me know and I can link them too. https://ucatholic.com/vision-of-pope-leo

Yep, Satan wants family to dissolve and his leftists buddies are all too eager to help. People (even blacks) have been arguing for over a decade that the main problem for blacks is the loss of the nuclear family and no dads being around.

Coincidence that Bill Cosby advocated for black fatherhood in marriage and was about to buy NBC before his Trump-like, never ending accusations and legal woes started? The same demonic people who are pushing perversity on us now, were behind the breakup and breakdown of the Black family and community.

I think that he may have done something bad many decades ago. I llalso know Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and other democrats have, but for some reason 🤔 hmmm..they never get hounded, accused, tried, or convicted. Why is that? Why do women come out at opportune moments after so many decades of silence to accuse a man? Who is finding them and paying them?

Josh Hawley seems to be using more secular words to get to same point without turning off non religious and irreligious.

Wheaton's avatar

Perhaps that was his intent, but the wording, "It's not so much about good vs evil" is what I am referring to. It is 100 percent about good vs evil. I don't know a Christian that would try to down play that.

Satan has been hard at work getting rid of dad for several decades now. He knows what their potential for the good of mankind is.

Saddest thing; watching poor single moms of the ‘unfavored’ race trying to deal with middle school officials in regards to the mistreatment of their sons. Pulling them out to homeschool, though you knew the mom likely worked at least two jobs and had no plan. At least her son wouldn’t have to be terrified every day.

True. But the moms aren’t saints. They are being used by the devil too. My child is 9, and Oddly; I am seeing a lot of DADs who do more of the parenting than the moms! I know of 2 moms who were barely involved until the child got older and easier. Moms who split right after giving birth and dads did all the work. A lot of these are older men (40 to 45ish) who got with young women (24 to 26ish) to have their first child.

Willing Spirit's avatar

You are right. I didn’t mean to imply that there are no bad moms or that it’s always the mom doing the job alone. I would say statistically it’s more often the mom by far, but I’m no expert.

We, supposedly believers in God’s power, allow Satan to operate freely. We have the supreme power at our disposal if we’ll only use it. It’s truly up to us; God won’t force it on us. If not us, who? If not now, when? If not, why?

I guess that is what "transhumanism" is: neither male nor female. They want to have no distinctions. It's part of their plan.

Yes, the current feminization of young men is the root of a lot of the issues in this country. A lot of good young men, but the amount of weak, feminized, fairylike young men is disgusting. So sad, because this is not how men should behave.

It starts further back from that in the sexual revolution and “feminism”. Women insisting we can be like men and should go to work.

I think a lot of men went right along with it thinking they would increase the household income and wealth. Now people think it takes two incomes just to make it through.

I hope I didn’t sound discouraging to families who want the traditional way. I’m a huge cheerleader for someone to have an eye or an ear on the children at all times. I have 2 daughters who are stay at home moms and a new DIL who is gung-ho to become one.

Stuff is just stuff. This society puts far too much emphasis on owning stuff.

I heard a rant on Chris Plante's radio show that he shared from some liberal woman on TikTok - she was complaining that it was impossible to find a masculine man who was also polite and chivalrous (that was not the term she used but can't remember exactly) who was not a CONSERVATIVE (perish the thought, lol). Plante said the rant has gone viral, so I guess a lot of tiktockers must agree. I have been out of the dating scene for a very long time but just observing young men in general I would tend to agree with her. Although I will say my son in law is a masculine liberal but I am not really sure he is as liberal as my daughter is, think he keeps his mouth shut to keep the peace.

With 70% of kids in the black community, 23% of US children overall growing up in single parent households (don't know the breakdown but guessing predominantly the mother) vs ~8% of children worldwide - it appears that some how dads, and their dad energy have been neutralized/taken out of the picture in this country. I'm sure 'experts are baffled' but I blame the perverse incentives baked into the welfare system combined with the removal of God, and family as bulwarks of the culture for creating a huge dad energy deficit. On purpose no doubt.

So it's even more critical that those dads who have done the right thing by staying in their kids' lives to step up. Glad to see it happening!
