I would like to see the Venn Diagrams of both the Religious and Non-Religious and Vacc'ed vs Not Vacc'ed
In the time of the greatest pandemic fear frenzy, when I paid someone to deliver my groceries 25 miles from the store and promptly wiped them down with the precious 6 lysol wipes we treated like gold, I went to a Mennonite Bakery which was near. As we went up to the window we were amazed none of the children had masks, none of the adults. Through my own fear badge of non-courage I asked the father how/why/who/what/where. IF its your time to go, its your time to go the father calmly explained.
Dont forgot this is the Tapas app phase of existence. If you are a true Christian; why fear any chance to reunite with your maker. If making a decision based on fear or your own mortality, rethink that decision...reflect on the big picture....true faith is courageous.
I have always been in awe of the Faith shown to me that day. It was a great lesson out of many lessons during the pandemic. I have tried to live less scared for myself and my family. I have tried to make less decisions in which the focus is about our time on this pre-cursor to the big game.
I always thought I was a Christian, but it wasn't until the plandemic, that I reconfirmed my faith, on my knees, asking God's forgiveness, and stating that Jesus was my Lord and Savior. Changing the way I lived. I saw the writing on the walls, so to speak. It was fairly liberating, to know that no matter what, now, I have no fear of death or plague. I am not in a hurry to die, but death is now just the big sleep to me. I knew I was a good person, kind and generous, but that is not enough. We are seeing what has been prophesied and it is unfolding in front on our eyes. God bless and keep us all.
Nikki - I had a similar experience - pre-Covid I would describe government with '3 i's': Inept, Incompetent, Inefficient. But in general, well-meaning and aligned with the citizen's interests. Post-Covid, the 3 i's still exist, but now there is a 4th - Immoral. Just plain immoral and fundamentally EVIL.
God brought it all front and center for me too! Put people on my path that showed me to live without fear. We had some tough times and I kept telling my husband, “We will be taken care of. I am certain of it.” He looked at me like I was nuts. 😆BUT THERE IT WAS FAITH. Sounds strange, but I am grateful for the last few years.
I have almost always thought of "death" as just the segue into the REAL life of being in the blissful and peaceful state of awaiting the return of Jesus Christ the Lord of heaven and earth to UNITE the particles of my earthly "tent" with the ETERNAL SOUL! I also believe that the "eternal kingdoms heaven & hell" exist in tandem to the physical realms we know and study. It's very, very intricate for our FINITE minds to comprehend the INFINITE--but I am at peace about my "passing over". It's just the beginning of FOREVER!!
I agree with the Mennonite dad, when it is your time, it is your time. God knows the time of your conception, birth and death. I've heard of too many totally freak accidents over the decades and too many utter miracles to believe otherwise.
When you say 'religious' does that mean Christian? Or a long recognized religion? The reason I ask is that it appears to me that the maksers/vaxxers are under the influence of a new religion, which I don't have name for, Covidian or Wokism don'y seem to encompass it all. They rely solely on faith though.
This, too. There's no question that the leftist/wokist ideology has a highly religious bent, complete with an anointed priest class, but entirely bereft of spirituality.
I had not thought of the spirituality part, I agree with you. The part about being poorly judged(by society in this case) seems present too, maybe its the 'false prophet' type thing we have heard about?
The only new religion they are under is Designed Fear for Profit.....at least to me.
Read this news, feel out of control and scared for your existence, so that by clicking on the banner on the right (Or take this silver bullet medical injection pandemic fixer) of the page you can take control of a transaction, and pretend...fleetingly.....to take back control of your life and this world. Wash Rinse Repeat.
And NOW a word from our sponsor, to give you a piece of control (for a small price) in this crazy world!
The only true remedy for fear is context. God given context and Faith.
I remember reading (a couple of years ago now) about how Google's foundational documents (like pro-Forma, business case, etc) was Julian Assanged by another guy....and remained up for like a week until all traces of it were "dissapeared". In it was a study from the English Tube which was titled "Environmental Stress and Consumerism". What was found is that on a packed train consumerism jumped 30% (vs riding in empty trains) in terms of financial transactions from the train passengers themselves. The stress of being packed and NOT in control leads human nature to push for temporary financial control by executing transactions, where you are temporarily in control. Think of the 80's the cliche's of shopping spree's when one's life was stressed out. Its the same basic nature. So the news pushes you to feel out of control, human nature pushes you to find an outlet of control, which in our day and age is consumerism. I have had no luck tracking it down since but it explains a BUNCH about where we are in terms of being told we are NOT in control nearly 24 x 7.
I, for a LONG time, was concerned about the population control evil that is often brought up around here concerning the pandemic, but with recent news stories have fallen back to good old Greed being the culprit. Medical Patent Oklahoma Soonerism and getting caught with hands in the GOF cookie jar caused a RUSHED coverup and horribly designed "antidote". Fear was pushed, tribalism (aka Dr Seuss sneetches with needles instead of tattoos) fanned for profit levels that never could of been dreamed of before. To me it has changed my own worldview of religion, science and runaway capitalism in medicine. This shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Faith and the realism that what we have been taught from every institution has been lie after lie. If you have lived long enough, you can is the patterns which are all meant to create fear and have people not living using their own sovereignty. Martha Stewart does not tell me anything but how to and you must and blah, blah, blah. My choices are what I like, not what the experts think is trendy. Buy, buy, buy....trends in clothing, interior design, etc. is all about purchasing! We make people rich by being stupid.
I am with you. I have started spending more for higher quality so they will last me decades instead of a year or two. Seriously, I have a college sweatshirt that is nearly 40 years old. Matter of fact, I’m wearing it today. I have a long-sleeved shirt from high school that I still wear in the winter. I also have shirts from a few years ago that are falling apart. I’m tired of spending $30 for a shirt that 2 years later needs to be replaced. It’s a rip off. I don’t care about fashion. I want comfort, class, and durability.
Same. Two to three dozen natural fiber clothing items, in classic designs, hand washed in many cases, curated(sort of?), some 40 years old. Ironing required. Remember the first permanent press fabrics? Late 60's, early 70's? Perfectly awful hand, drape and styles to boot. It should come as no surprise that it's chemicals that are used to treat fibers or finished garments to render the convenience of wrinkle-free. Formaldehyde was the original chemical; now many formaldehyde derivatives. Read: carcinogenic or suspect.
Related: heard a story in recent years of a mom that mentioned a clothing item that might need to be ironed; teen child responded, "What's ironed [mean]?" Ouch.
I have clothes that were my mother’s. They are still in fabulous shape. I also have a dress from the late 1800s that was a distant relative. It’s a very fine, white cotton dress with tatting. The ancestor tatted.
I keep looking for 100% cotton. It’s hard to find anymore. Nearly everything contains some synthetic fiber.
There was a meme going around social the past couple of days about how it used to be you had 10 minutes to escape a burning building. Now, because of all the synthetic fibers in our furniture, etc., that burn hotter and faster, you have 3-4 minutes.
As one who sews since two weeks of lessons in mid '60s "day camp" before that was a term, (other week-long program was charm school 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣in the basement at Sears, OMG! It didn't take! Haven't thought about that in decades.) even natural fabrics on bolts are treated these days. Mostly sizing, and recommended to be washed before cutting and sewing garments. Still... Yep, always check fiber content on garments. Don't buy much anymore.
Haven't flown since plandemic craziness, but another space where I consciously always wore natural fibers, just in case. Keep it in mind.
EXACTLY - I never understood the "mass hysteria" of "following" certain celebrity figures. I enjoy some of their performances--but you wouldn't catch me attending a LIVE CONCERT and jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs (even when I was a teeny bopper). They're just CLOWNS AND MINSTRELS--the lot of 'em!! Performers!! And they're paid a hefty bunch of "green back dollars" once they hit the "big time"--but that makes them very, very "fortunate"--not credible!!
Yes. Same with the Amish and Mennonite community in Lancaster County PA. I visited there to shop unencumbered by masks and hysteria. One asked me if "the English had lost their minds." I said yes they did. The mindless fear and lack of critical thought of nearly all my friends and neighbors blew me away. They were and are still fearful that they are willing to give up freedoms. I am fine if they want to screw over themselves and their families but will never forgive nor forget their willingness to screw over mine.
They also don’t vaccinate and their elders don’t get shingles bc they’re exposed to kids with chicken pox which renews immunity continually so shingles don’t happen. Our elders get shingles bc there is no ongoing immunity to the chicken pox virus w/o any ongoing exposure to it.
Churches were closed in response to government and societal pressure and fear tactics Those who run such a church don't believe what they preach.
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write... because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked" Rev 3:14,16-17
The church we used to go to had the musicians pre-record hymns to be replayed during zoom services. One evening, my friend and her daughter were at the church doing their pre-recording, all the lights on. This was in the late fall of 2020 in the Seattle area, so it was already dark outside at 5:00. Someone was driving home from work and saw through the windows people singing and playing instruments without masks on and alerted the governor. The pastor got a letter from the governor’s office reminding him that people were not allowed to gather, or sing without masks on. After that, the musicians had to WEAR MASKS WHILE PRE-RECORDING THE HYMNS. Even if there was only one person in the building, or as in this case, two people of the same household. The decision was based on the verses about “avoiding even the appearance of evil”. SMH
My opinion Bryn is God used this man made hysteria to separate the wheat from the chaff. 'Who truly trusts Me and who doesn't'. The church and leadership that doesn't trust in the God they ascribe to are struggling to this day.
He did! He responded out of shame and excused it with the verse about avoiding the appearance of evil. We had stopped going there because, even in the summertime when the weather was beautiful (it doesn’t get hot much in Seattle) we couldn’t even have maskless services outside with people spaced out.
With absolute respect to everyone who is, I am not a religious person. I believe in a Creator and know I'm not the creator, but nothing past that. I did not take the poison and I am fine. However, I too believe that when it is time to leave this material world, it is, and nothing but hte Creator can change that.
I'm not sure someone's spirituality or lack thereof made a difference during the scamdemic. For me, I believed that nature heals itself in time, so if there was a pathogen, we would find a way to overcome. But, I also believed the entire thing was a scam. I believe the power of the mind is more than we can possibly understand and our belief in healing or sickness does affect us physically. I'm working on a post on psychogenic death, placebos and nocebos - they are a real thing. Of course I'm not discounting the intervention of faith or the Creator, but I also feel a lot of man-made reasoning saw us through this orchestrated plan.
Excellent. Regarding your last point, yes...On the one hand, OK...supposedly there's a pathogen out there that makes some people sick. OK...If I get sick, I get sick -- but somehow knew along all I wouldn't -- and I didn't. Faith was it? Maybe...
OTOH, the numbers were so absurd it shocked me to see people falling for them. Are you freakin' kidding me??? From a known loser at Imperial College who got mad cow disease 100% wrong, we're going to listen to this guy? 2 million dead in the U.S.? Is this a joke???
Instantaneous, back-of-the-envelope 𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 demonstrated the absurdity of such a claim. So. For 2 million to die, how many would have to get infected? Of those, how many would have to become symptomatic? Of those, how many would become seriously ill? Of those, how many would have to become hospitalized in order for 2 million to die??????
The only way that that might happen is if, in fact, we were dealing with a biological weapon. But no...we were assured of this pathogen's natural origins...and that no medicines existed to treat its symptoms.
A complete shit show nonsense story that the majority ate up like candy while willingly trading away their freedoms and insisting that everyone do so. Unforgiveable.
Yep, with you 100%. It is and was a complete sh!t show, start to finish, and they are still making it one, milking it for every last bit of control they can get their grubby paws on. I also agree it is unforgivable. I will not forgive or forget. Ever.
You are so close to the Truth, FourWinds. The Creator of all is the creator of the mind also. That fact drives people like Yuval Harari crazy. He and others want so badly to become like Him, to replace Him. They spend countless hours developing robots, AI, in vitro conception and artificial wombs. Remember Dolly the sheep and cloning.
Since the beginning this has been the battle, in the garden Eve was asked "did God truly say...", the tower of Babel, and more. In the last days we are told knowledge will increase. Notice we were not told wisdom will increase.
Keep researching and you will suddenly stumble upon the truth. It's just more difficult for some of us to accept it.
I am not particularly religious, but I do believe there is a higher power. Some 30 years ago, my sister died as a result of a car accident. She was young and healthy. The hospital she was taken to did nothing to save her. It was at that moment I realized when it’s your time, it’s your time. There is nothing anyone can do to save you. Had she been meant to be alive, she would still be here. I miss her every day.
Yup. Decades ago two younger siblings dead in their 20s, here one minute, gone the next. Another at age 50, but expected due to illness. Dad at 54, also anticipated. Step dad, 58, sudden, death the first symptom of coronary artery blockage. Infant niece in the '80s, "SIDS." I suspect childhood vaccine proximity there but can't bring myself to introduce the idea to the covidians. A grandnephew stillborn two years ago to unvaxed parents who both work surrounded by covidiots. Not to mention friends &c.
It's a short trip for all of us. Even if one is a centenarian. We're talking about eternity here. I can't even conceive a scale of hundreds of years comparing a human lifetime, no less eternity.
There's WAY more at play here than the materialism western civilization has trained us in. This perspective the blessing in the experience of complex trauma. There is a reason for everything. IMHO, including the current manufactured KOS. Whole other discussion.☮️
My father was an atheist, but, after my sister’s death, he couldn’t believe that someone so full of life would just be snuffed out. He started to believe in an afterlife.
Quite possibly a "reason" for her so soon exit. -?
I mostly hit daily -some I miss- with a prayer of heartfelt gratitude to the souls of those who have exited the planet in conjunction with these toxic jabs. Other "side" effect debilitated and finally killed patients from various pharmaceuticals, too. You know, the "side" effects rattled off at 100 mph at the end of pharma ads, many of which include death, most egregiously from medication-induced suicide. These souls have all done an immeasurable service to humanity. Doesn't lessen the pain of surviving loved ones, and certainly doesn't excuse corporate behavior, just allows me a rationalization, a reason, to the degree I'm able to grasp such why they had to go. I believe people are waking up and that a shift in consciousness is underway toward what is acceptable, desirable, and worth fighting for for a renewed society on the planet, coming in the 21st century. 10,000 miles up view. 2¢
So sorry for your pain. But what a tremendous shift for your father.
Didn't the Christians in the last plague actually help their neighbors instead of masking up, staying at home and staying out of church? Our church helped for about a month and we volunteered at every opportunity but then crickets. We've heard from them maybe 3 times over the last 3.5 years. No question of why someone who was very active in church never came back...
The first piece of propaganda put out by media and government was “#stayhomestaysafe”. Propaganda works works wonders in getting people to do things against their and their communities best interests.
I recall going for a walk with one of my Christian friends early in the “pandemic” and analyzing the different reactions - my husband is not a believer of Christ but is a true ”Science” believer and so I saw the distinction first hand in our responses. The data would be fascinating to see even though I’m pretty sure how the results would look.
I would like to see this data also, but I would like to modify the word "religious" with "spiritual." I do not identify or associate with any known or organized "religion," but I believe in a higher power and consider myself deeply spiritual. (And, unvaxxed.)
To John Bugni and Oregon Kathy, you guys state where I am. Religion will not 'save' anyone, only a personal relationship with Jesus the son of God will do that. Prior to His miraculous birth and short stay on earth it was faith in the unseen God of creation that assured eternal life in Heaven.
COVID did not scare me as much as the reaction of people to it (with no supporting science) and how many turned against their own family when it came to whether you chose to vax or not. It scared me that I might be forced to get it.
I have tried to internalize this. It usually makes sense. From Living Life Backward by David Gibson:
Ecclesiastes: an invitation to be a person who realizes that living a good life means preparing to die a good death. Want to live well? Prepare to die. Know that the breath will vanish and enjoy the fleeting glory.”
I trust in Jesus. I have submitted myself to Him. His will be done. It has taken all worry out of my life. I try to prepare for what is coming as best as I can but the rest I leave up to Him. Viva Cristo Rey!
More good news: Charleston, SC, a city described as 'moderate' elected a Republican mayor William Cogswell, for the first time since 1877! https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/this-city-elected-a-republican-mayor-for-the-first-time-since-1877-post-5537511 The race, although non-partisan, was described as boiling down to many of the same issues facing many cities: crime, infrastructure and 'rapid development' (which I assume to be massive apartments and more 15 minute city development). Cogswell won by ~600 votes.
We are moving to SC. Cannot tolerate my libtard area. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah. I will not look back as I feel I will turn into salt or be tainted
Phoenixville pa. I finally told a friend that I feel alone here. It's because of the last 3 years. I cannot reconcile with it. The behaviors and beliefs of many around me, especially those I thought I knew, are opposite to mine.
I totally understand that feeling! I escaped from California in late 2021 for the same reason. I was the only one among my large family that didn't get the jabs. All my friends except one got vaxxed. I moved to Florida and it's amazing! Like minded people all around me! I wish you all the best.
It’s possibly the biggest, most successful psyop of the century. Chemical injections to stay alive. But which really cause disease. Who could ever really question science? All vaccines are useless and worse- all are poison.
Reading Turtles All the Way Down by Anonymous. Childhood vaccine trials apparently use existing vaccines as the placebo arm of the study (instead of a saline injection)… that’s how they are able to claim “safe” bc there are adverse events associated with the “placebo”, so the adverse events of the vaccine under study look to be no more than the “placebo”, therefore it’s safe. And that’s totally legal, but definitely unethical.
Ive wondered....what nurturing protective gene is missing from a mom who would take any injection while pregnant? Dr's take pregnant moms off of alcohol.....off of cigarettes....but push injection of chemical toxins? Or is the demonic induced fear of the unknown greater than protecting the life within?
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the crowd standing around I said this, so that they may believe that You sent Me.” And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
I can't wait for that!! I absolutely love that series. I bought in in 2018. Then as I am watching the rolling credits after season 2, it lists my name amongst hundreds of others who crowd funded this. I seriously thought it would go nowhere at the time, and I had just had it with shows that were so foul. It wasn't much and I had no idea my name would be on screen after the season, but there it was. So great to be part of that!!

I have to agree with you 💯
Me too.
Nikki, I experienced the same thing! And it was/is liberating. Jesus released me from captivity. I’m free!
Amen. Agree 💯. Same here. I was blind but now I see. It is liberating and joyful. ❤🙏✝️
Amen

The Amish that live around us were the same way. Their stores were never shut down because all were considered essential. They never wore masks.

What’s interesting about it all is how most of them either decry religion or make fun of it even as they religiously worship their own woke “god”.
I don't think they realize that they are worshiping ...
Oh, no, they don’t see it at all. It’s rather hilarious and somewhat alarming, but it is par for the course. Blinded by their own hubris.
I had not thought of the spirituality part, I agree with you. The part about being poorly judged(by society in this case) seems present too, maybe its the 'false prophet' type thing we have heard about?
False prophets of the needle?
More cult like than religious.

I enjoy some of their performances--but you wouldn't catch me attending a LIVE CONCERT and jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs (even when I was a teeny bopper). They're just CLOWNS AND MINSTRELS--the lot of 'em!! Performers!! And they're paid a hefty bunch of "green back dollars" once they hit the "big time"--but that makes them very, very "fortunate"--not credible!!
we are minimalists and are looking to go further minimal.
Neopaganism. Comes in many varieties. Self is often the golden calf found at its altar.
but their faith is not in the King of kings and Lord of lords!
Yup. All hail the pharma gods. Aka - Satan
I call it @Spike Covidianism.”
Yes! For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain! Philippians 1:21
Yes. Same with the Amish and Mennonite community in Lancaster County PA. I visited there to shop unencumbered by masks and hysteria. One asked me if "the English had lost their minds." I said yes they did. The mindless fear and lack of critical thought of nearly all my friends and neighbors blew me away. They were and are still fearful that they are willing to give up freedoms. I am fine if they want to screw over themselves and their families but will never forgive nor forget their willingness to screw over mine.
The Amish don't have TeLIEvision and were the first
group in the US to achieve "covid herd immunity" in the summer of 2020.
They also don’t vaccinate and their elders don’t get shingles bc they’re exposed to kids with chicken pox which renews immunity continually so shingles don’t happen. Our elders get shingles bc there is no ongoing immunity to the chicken pox virus w/o any ongoing exposure to it.
Amen and amen, Annie!
Churches were closed in response to government and societal pressure and fear tactics Those who run such a church don't believe what they preach.
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write... because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked" Rev 3:14,16-17
Funny/tragic story:
The church we used to go to had the musicians pre-record hymns to be replayed during zoom services. One evening, my friend and her daughter were at the church doing their pre-recording, all the lights on. This was in the late fall of 2020 in the Seattle area, so it was already dark outside at 5:00. Someone was driving home from work and saw through the windows people singing and playing instruments without masks on and alerted the governor. The pastor got a letter from the governor’s office reminding him that people were not allowed to gather, or sing without masks on. After that, the musicians had to WEAR MASKS WHILE PRE-RECORDING THE HYMNS. Even if there was only one person in the building, or as in this case, two people of the same household. The decision was based on the verses about “avoiding even the appearance of evil”. SMH
My opinion Bryn is God used this man made hysteria to separate the wheat from the chaff. 'Who truly trusts Me and who doesn't'. The church and leadership that doesn't trust in the God they ascribe to are struggling to this day.
And the pastor agreed to that dictate? I guess he missed Paul's instructions about being bold in one's faith.
He did! He responded out of shame and excused it with the verse about avoiding the appearance of evil. We had stopped going there because, even in the summertime when the weather was beautiful (it doesn’t get hot much in Seattle) we couldn’t even have maskless services outside with people spaced out.
Our church closed at the beginning but then our pastor found his spine. You would not believe the number of people who were so offended, they left.
It seems like a lot of people found reasons to leave the church in 2020 though. So.
With absolute respect to everyone who is, I am not a religious person. I believe in a Creator and know I'm not the creator, but nothing past that. I did not take the poison and I am fine. However, I too believe that when it is time to leave this material world, it is, and nothing but hte Creator can change that.
I'm not sure someone's spirituality or lack thereof made a difference during the scamdemic. For me, I believed that nature heals itself in time, so if there was a pathogen, we would find a way to overcome. But, I also believed the entire thing was a scam. I believe the power of the mind is more than we can possibly understand and our belief in healing or sickness does affect us physically. I'm working on a post on psychogenic death, placebos and nocebos - they are a real thing. Of course I'm not discounting the intervention of faith or the Creator, but I also feel a lot of man-made reasoning saw us through this orchestrated plan.
Excellent. Regarding your last point, yes...On the one hand, OK...supposedly there's a pathogen out there that makes some people sick. OK...If I get sick, I get sick -- but somehow knew along all I wouldn't -- and I didn't. Faith was it? Maybe...
OTOH, the numbers were so absurd it shocked me to see people falling for them. Are you freakin' kidding me??? From a known loser at Imperial College who got mad cow disease 100% wrong, we're going to listen to this guy? 2 million dead in the U.S.? Is this a joke???
Instantaneous, back-of-the-envelope 𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 demonstrated the absurdity of such a claim. So. For 2 million to die, how many would have to get infected? Of those, how many would have to become symptomatic? Of those, how many would become seriously ill? Of those, how many would have to become hospitalized in order for 2 million to die??????
The only way that that might happen is if, in fact, we were dealing with a biological weapon. But no...we were assured of this pathogen's natural origins...and that no medicines existed to treat its symptoms.
A complete shit show nonsense story that the majority ate up like candy while willingly trading away their freedoms and insisting that everyone do so. Unforgiveable.
Yep, with you 100%. It is and was a complete sh!t show, start to finish, and they are still making it one, milking it for every last bit of control they can get their grubby paws on. I also agree it is unforgivable. I will not forgive or forget. Ever.
You are so close to the Truth, FourWinds. The Creator of all is the creator of the mind also. That fact drives people like Yuval Harari crazy. He and others want so badly to become like Him, to replace Him. They spend countless hours developing robots, AI, in vitro conception and artificial wombs. Remember Dolly the sheep and cloning.
Since the beginning this has been the battle, in the garden Eve was asked "did God truly say...", the tower of Babel, and more. In the last days we are told knowledge will increase. Notice we were not told wisdom will increase.
Keep researching and you will suddenly stumble upon the truth. It's just more difficult for some of us to accept it.
I am not particularly religious, but I do believe there is a higher power. Some 30 years ago, my sister died as a result of a car accident. She was young and healthy. The hospital she was taken to did nothing to save her. It was at that moment I realized when it’s your time, it’s your time. There is nothing anyone can do to save you. Had she been meant to be alive, she would still be here. I miss her every day.
Yup. Decades ago two younger siblings dead in their 20s, here one minute, gone the next. Another at age 50, but expected due to illness. Dad at 54, also anticipated. Step dad, 58, sudden, death the first symptom of coronary artery blockage. Infant niece in the '80s, "SIDS." I suspect childhood vaccine proximity there but can't bring myself to introduce the idea to the covidians. A grandnephew stillborn two years ago to unvaxed parents who both work surrounded by covidiots. Not to mention friends &c.
It's a short trip for all of us. Even if one is a centenarian. We're talking about eternity here. I can't even conceive a scale of hundreds of years comparing a human lifetime, no less eternity.
There's WAY more at play here than the materialism western civilization has trained us in. This perspective the blessing in the experience of complex trauma. There is a reason for everything. IMHO, including the current manufactured KOS. Whole other discussion.☮️
My father was an atheist, but, after my sister’s death, he couldn’t believe that someone so full of life would just be snuffed out. He started to believe in an afterlife.
Quite possibly a "reason" for her so soon exit. -?
I mostly hit daily -some I miss- with a prayer of heartfelt gratitude to the souls of those who have exited the planet in conjunction with these toxic jabs. Other "side" effect debilitated and finally killed patients from various pharmaceuticals, too. You know, the "side" effects rattled off at 100 mph at the end of pharma ads, many of which include death, most egregiously from medication-induced suicide. These souls have all done an immeasurable service to humanity. Doesn't lessen the pain of surviving loved ones, and certainly doesn't excuse corporate behavior, just allows me a rationalization, a reason, to the degree I'm able to grasp such why they had to go. I believe people are waking up and that a shift in consciousness is underway toward what is acceptable, desirable, and worth fighting for for a renewed society on the planet, coming in the 21st century. 10,000 miles up view. 2¢
So sorry for your pain. But what a tremendous shift for your father.
Didn't the Christians in the last plague actually help their neighbors instead of masking up, staying at home and staying out of church? Our church helped for about a month and we volunteered at every opportunity but then crickets. We've heard from them maybe 3 times over the last 3.5 years. No question of why someone who was very active in church never came back...
The first piece of propaganda put out by media and government was “#stayhomestaysafe”. Propaganda works works wonders in getting people to do things against their and their communities best interests.
Clarify- re covid…😀 propaganda has been going on way b4 covid
The battle of the F Words: Faith over Fear.
I recall going for a walk with one of my Christian friends early in the “pandemic” and analyzing the different reactions - my husband is not a believer of Christ but is a true ”Science” believer and so I saw the distinction first hand in our responses. The data would be fascinating to see even though I’m pretty sure how the results would look.
I would like to see this data also, but I would like to modify the word "religious" with "spiritual." I do not identify or associate with any known or organized "religion," but I believe in a higher power and consider myself deeply spiritual. (And, unvaxxed.)
"Religion" is man's attempt at explaining God; putting Him in a box. I prefer to speak of my faith tradition as a "follower of Christ" or Christ-one.
Oftentimes nowadays people are “spiritual” but have no connection to the God of the Bible. So I’m never sure what that means.
To John Bugni and Oregon Kathy, you guys state where I am. Religion will not 'save' anyone, only a personal relationship with Jesus the son of God will do that. Prior to His miraculous birth and short stay on earth it was faith in the unseen God of creation that assured eternal life in Heaven.
If I told you that I align more with Gnostic sects of Christianity than traditional sects, would that help elucidate?
If you told me that I would ask why you would believe in this sect called Gnosticism rather than true Christianity.
I believe that Gnosticism is more reflective of what Christ was really trying to teach.
COVID did not scare me as much as the reaction of people to it (with no supporting science) and how many turned against their own family when it came to whether you chose to vax or not. It scared me that I might be forced to get it.
Exactly!!! I was actually scared of being arrested for inviting a friend over for dinner.
Yes!!! That is what scared me too, didn’t think we’d ever get past it. I still can’t believe what people did/said.
I have tried to internalize this. It usually makes sense. From Living Life Backward by David Gibson:
Ecclesiastes: an invitation to be a person who realizes that living a good life means preparing to die a good death. Want to live well? Prepare to die. Know that the breath will vanish and enjoy the fleeting glory.”
Science has failed our Mother Earth (love System of a Down).
I trust in Jesus. I have submitted myself to Him. His will be done. It has taken all worry out of my life. I try to prepare for what is coming as best as I can but the rest I leave up to Him. Viva Cristo Rey!
More good news: Charleston, SC, a city described as 'moderate' elected a Republican mayor William Cogswell, for the first time since 1877! https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/this-city-elected-a-republican-mayor-for-the-first-time-since-1877-post-5537511 The race, although non-partisan, was described as boiling down to many of the same issues facing many cities: crime, infrastructure and 'rapid development' (which I assume to be massive apartments and more 15 minute city development). Cogswell won by ~600 votes.
We are moving to SC. Cannot tolerate my libtard area. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah. I will not look back as I feel I will turn into salt or be tainted
Good for you! Where are you escaping from?
Phoenixville pa. I finally told a friend that I feel alone here. It's because of the last 3 years. I cannot reconcile with it. The behaviors and beliefs of many around me, especially those I thought I knew, are opposite to mine.
I totally understand that feeling! I escaped from California in late 2021 for the same reason. I was the only one among my large family that didn't get the jabs. All my friends except one got vaxxed. I moved to Florida and it's amazing! Like minded people all around me! I wish you all the best.
Wow what are the odds?
Last summer I was briefly (remotely, from Oklahoma) participating in a men's Bible study from Phoenixville.
6 to 1 in last local election for the democrats. And these democrats are very far left.
My son lives in Charleston! They were so excited over his election!! Things are changing and for the better!!
Great news! But by a thin margin!
Everything in the news is a lie.
Everything.
Also, childhood vaccines cause most diseases.
Infection by injection.
It’s possibly the biggest, most successful psyop of the century. Chemical injections to stay alive. But which really cause disease. Who could ever really question science? All vaccines are useless and worse- all are poison.
Reading Turtles All the Way Down by Anonymous. Childhood vaccine trials apparently use existing vaccines as the placebo arm of the study (instead of a saline injection)… that’s how they are able to claim “safe” bc there are adverse events associated with the “placebo”, so the adverse events of the vaccine under study look to be no more than the “placebo”, therefore it’s safe. And that’s totally legal, but definitely unethical.
Truth!
Infection by injection, I like it. We need t-shirts/bumper stickers/etc
Ssshhhhhh! That dude/tte will show up hawking those next! Kinda like beatle juice. Say the "t" word too often...
😂
“The this jab and shove it!”
Cancer in kids starts under six years of age....mmmm.
It can but usually doesn't.
Didn't you read the SV40 disaster a couple weeks ago?
Big Harma is not your friend.
Be skeptical, it might save your life.
The most recent news is that babies are developing cancer before they’re born. The fetuses, from their jabbed moms.
Ive wondered....what nurturing protective gene is missing from a mom who would take any injection while pregnant? Dr's take pregnant moms off of alcohol.....off of cigarettes....but push injection of chemical toxins? Or is the demonic induced fear of the unknown greater than protecting the life within?
Psy-ops and $money$
They encourage moms not to eat processed foods while pregnant too! Just SMH!
yes that's sadly true - Dr. Makis has been covering this:
https://open.substack.com/pub/makismd/p/mrna-in-pregnancy-fetuses-with-cancer?r=3gbt1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Saw that on Maki’s stack...absolutely heartbreaking!
True dat
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the crowd standing around I said this, so that they may believe that You sent Me.” And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
— John 11:40-44 LSB
Ah yes, Janice!
“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” Our hope lies in the knowledge Christ conquered death.
Amen. He removed our grave clothes and wrapped us in eternal life.
And from this knowledge should come our courage as Christians.
"And as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all remain alive!"
I have The Messiah burned into my brain right now. Another concert tonight.
By the way, Handel’s work is simply, “Messiah.” Lose the THE.
And if he had not said “Lazarus” every dead person would have come forth!
Good Lord that made me laugh. I bet the Lord got a chuckle out of that too.
TRUTH!
If you watch The Chosen, we will get to see this played in Season 4 this February!
I can't wait for that!! I absolutely love that series. I bought in in 2018. Then as I am watching the rolling credits after season 2, it lists my name amongst hundreds of others who crowd funded this. I seriously thought it would go nowhere at the time, and I had just had it with shows that were so foul. It wasn't much and I had no idea my name would be on screen after the season, but there it was. So great to be part of that!!
