Jeff I love coffee and covid but I could have gone my whole life without seeing those images 😢 We are definitely under judgement from the Lord for our nations rampant sin and wickedness. It makes me think of 2 Peter 2:13-19. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They have eyes full of adultery insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. Forsaking the right way they have gone astray...

I understand your feelings, but I think we must know who (what?) these people really are. These are the people who have chanted, "We're coming for your children." I co-teach tenth grade girls at my church. We were studying a passage which focused on opposition to the gospel. I mentioned the LGBTQ agenda and warned the girls not to allow anyone to put a wedge between them and their parents, as is happening in public schools. One girl admonished me, saying that we should not talk about that, but stick to the Bible. I thought about that all week and decided I had to address it the next Sunday. In my opinion, it was application of what the Bible teaches. We need to talk to parents and to students about this horrible, destructive agenda. I had a little pushback from the other teacher also. If I am not allowed to talk about this huge threat to the girls, I will just give up teaching. My niece taught art in a local middle school last year. The children, she said, were changing their gender identity from week to week. It's faddish, but it can become really dark since teachers are encouraging it, while seeking to keep secrets from parents. I'm thankful our state legislature (NC) recently passed a law prohibiting the secrecy.

Please don’t stop teaching. Your bravery (because these days it requires courage to tell it like it is) is what could possibly save a life. I’m done keeping my mouth shut, I have NOTHING to lose. I started going to church and seeing families, all walks of life attend creating a most beautiful community is giving me hope….you are part of that💕🙏

A few years ago I spoke to my Sunday school class (high school grades) about the existence of the devil. The following Sunday a parent came up to me and told me "they do not believe in the devil, and I shouldn't teach about him". I told her that our church does NOT believe in the devil, but believes that he exists, and that if she felt I should stop she should have our priest tell me. Obviously that didn't happen. Never saw her again. Keep teaching what you know is correct and get the Church behind you

The bible speaks of the devil quite openly. Who tempted Jesus in the wilderness and offered Him the kingdoms of this earth if Jesus worshipped him (the devil) as recorded in Matthew 4??? Whom was Jesus calling Satan in Matthew 16:23??? In John 8:44 Jesus tells the religious leaders of his day "you are of your father the devil..." Keep speaking truth, it is scriptural, Jesus Himself spoke about the existence of the devil!!!

Also need to keep with the doctrine of the church. If people disagree and din’t like it they can pick a different church.

I applaud you for speaking to your students about things they need to watch out for. They need that. I think a lot of adults try to hide things or not talk about them, when the kids are already aware. I made it a point to point out to my own kids when a I saw something they needed to know for their own safety or morality. It’s either you or someone else who may have nefarious goals.

I heard someone say recently that many of our American churches are like a Hallmark card. To me, that means we promote a Pollyanna, sentimental faith which will not stand when persecution comes.

daverkb's avatar

Never heard it said thus, but when I saw it said here ... bingo!

It is said that we are not saved by works, but then again ... it is also said that faith without works is dead. Churches who do not speak out against great Evil in plain sight, but instead waffle or plain out ignore and/or pretend things in our times are quite normal, these are not churches. They are indeed Hall Mark Card of religiosity. And as such, such need their 'money lender tables' of pretense overturned.

I went to one church in the Staunton which taught reformed faith (as in the various traditional Confessions of Faith), but made it crystal clear that they would do nothing more than talk it up within their four walls on Sunday and then go home. I went to another church in Harrisonburg, also in Virginia ... and I tried to get the minister to make an announcement as to several other churches in the area joining together to oppose a Gay Pride Event involving a parade (and they were successful in getting it quashed). Sunday came, and no announcement. Such as these are examples of the pretty pretend Hallmark World of alleged Christian churches. This is what we are up against. Christianity ... all hat and no cattle.

I don't get it. I can only suppose the dead churches of the West are cowardly. But it is more than this, the orthodox Christian theology of nearly 2,000 years has been chucked out the theological window by decades of Marxist Woke thought infiltration. But here is the rub, what earthly use is Christianity without a real world vigorous application (which gets us right back to 'faith' and 'works'. But no, R2K (Radical Two Kingdom theology) litters the landscape as does its close cousin of misapplication, Separation of Church and State. Vacating the field has left us only with, for example, a Supreme Court and such Wonders of Man as the Lawrence decision. Among others.

Eric Metaxas has written a great book called Letter to the American Church. He compares our church to the church of Nazi Germany, turning our eyes away from what is happening and declaring that we won't get involved in politics, we'll just piously preach the gospel. He frequently speaks at churches. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDiNu4WFd10

Excellent!

"Faith of our fathers, holy faith. We will be true to thou till death." And any other course, hedging, wavering is delusional because 'they' mean to kill us all ... maybe not all at once. Maybe a little at a time. But sooner or later they will push onwards to that magic population figure. And they won't mind killing a few Christians along the way.

Willing Spirit,

Calvin said the below in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book First, Chapter 4. Apparently little has changed from the beginning of time. Maybe we should just call it Apple Madness. And they all have it, including covid murderers and transhuman murders. Calvin has a way of not mincing words ... plain spoken and straight up. The Wokies would be hard put to refute him. When I first read it, I was astonished. Not by what he said, but he said it in his time ... or could have said it in any age.

4. The wicked never willingly come into the presence of God. Hence their hypocrisy. Hence, too, their sense of Deity leads to no good result.
1. But though experience testifies that a seed of religion is divinely sown in all, scarcely one in a hundred is found who cherishes it in his heart, and not one in whom it grows to maturity so far is it from yielding fruit in its season. Moreover, while some lose themselves in superstitious observances, and others, of set purpose, wickedly revolt from God, the result is that, in regard to the true knowledge of him, all are so degenerate, that in no part of the world can genuine godliness be found. In saying that some fall away into superstition, I mean not to insinuate that their excessive absurdity frees them from guilt; for the blindness under which they labour is almost invariably accompanied with vain pride and stubbornness. Mingled vanity and pride appear in this, that when miserable men do seek after God, instead of ascending higher than themselves as they ought to do, they measure him by their own carnal stupidity, and, neglecting solid inquiry, fly off to indulge their curiosity in vain speculation. Hence, they do not conceive of him in the character in which he is manifested, but imagine him to be whatever their own rashness has devised. This abyss standing open, they cannot move one footstep without rushing headlong to destruction. With such an idea of God, nothing which they may attempt to offer in the way of worship or obedience can have any value in his sight, because it is not him they worship, but, instead of him, the dream and figment of their own heart. This corrupt procedure is admirably described by Paul, Rom 1:22

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. He had a great following during his ministry yet in the end the elders and the people rejected the Truth. Likewise they now reject us.

Same here, DaverKB. It was a request to simply announce to their churches the annual 40 days for Life prayer vigil in our town. We provided a bulletin insert too.

Nope. We have more churches in our town than fleas on a dog, but only 7 would mention abortion to their congregation, except a few mainline churches (term used loosely) who actively endorse it (under the guise of “compassion”. )

Likewise when the 3 Christian schools in our town were given materials for the annual right to life youth contest. It was essays, artwork, videos and speeches. I had high hopes for the Classical And Christian School which has a robust emphasis on writing, public speaking, and the arts. Nope. Not a one.

Do you know why these self-professed Christian Pastors [sic] and Christian School top administrators just tossed the materials & ignored it? Ignored the fact that some families would love to participate? Never mind that they SHOULD be preaching the application of God’s Word and precepts — as they wear their religiosity on their shirtsleeves for the world to see. Well, that’s the key, isn’t it. The world. They said it’s too political, too controversial, etc, etc. It is Man’s opinion they’re concerned about, not Gods. They will be spat out.

God Bless those seven True Pastors.

God Bless the homeschooling families whose children happily drew, wrote and spoke passionately and beautifully — and some high-schoolers went on to present to the state and national organization!

Salt and light.

These 'ministers' are cuck cowards. They are unable to hitch 'love thy neighbor' to 'fear of God is the beginning of wisdom'.In aiding and abetting evil doers by their silence they themselves enter into Evil.

Politico Phil's avatar

"Separation of Church and State" is the wedge that was driven into our society almost from the beginning in spite of the fact that this was a heretical concept to the founding fathers. All human action is based on faith. If the Biblical faith be removed from the public square then an alien faith will fill the vacuum. Thus did a Humanism creep into American culture which morphed into the Marxism that has now taken the Gov't. The ideology of Marxism remains consistent from one society to the next while the immediate religious application changes to fit the culture. From the French Revolution to the Russian Bolsheviks to the German Nazis to Maoism to the current American Bolsheviks, the Marxist ideology is easily identified.

In American, Wokeism is the religion that Marxism has replaced Christianity with. Previously it was the religion of class conflict of various flavors whether it was the proletariat versus capitalism in Russia, the German master race versus the unclean races or Mao's cultural revolution. In America, the religion of Wokeism has turned the entire culture on it's head where everything historically established as good is now defined as evil and all that we knew as evil is now good. This is perhaps the ultimate Marxist class conflict.

We are returning full circle to the French Revolution. The French Revolution was born out of the left wing of the Enlightenment and resulted in the violent revolt of the "people" against the Elites. The left wing of the Enlightenment culminated in the Russian Boshevik revolution and the Soviet empire. The right wing of the Enlightenment moved through Scottish rationalism to America and, as influenced by Christianity, culminated in the American Revolution and then the USG empire. ("A Tale of Two Cities" is an illustration of the differences of the two wings.)

My point here is that having lost the Christian basis for human action in American culture as replaced by a Marxist wokeism, we now find ourselves ruled by an unseen European globalist elite much as the French were ruthlessly ruled by the French aristocracy. We have come full circle back to that conflict. Now we are the French.

These globalist elites tried to impose their NWO on the entire planet and failed. Eastern Europe and the BRICs rejected their NWO designs and are forming their own bloc which is attracting other nations such as Saudi Arabia who do not want to be part of the NWO of the globalists.

Having failed to impose their design on the whole world, the NWO globalists will have to consolidate their control of Australia, NZ, Canada, the US and part of Europe and wait for a future opportunity to finish their global conquest. They will have to build a new "Iron Curtain" and cut off their territories from the rest of the world.

But if they can't conquer and subjugate the American people, their plan for a NWO will fail entirely. This is now the conflict that has returned full circle to the French Revolution. Though the American people have not fully realized it yet, they are in a war with these globalist elites much as the French were. And the American people are waking from their slumber. If we reject Wokeism and regain the Biblical faith of our fathers, the elites will lose this war. But rest assured, the globalist elites will not be vanquished peacefully. There is nothing they will not contemplate doing to retain power. It will get ugly.

daverkb's avatar

My view on the ruling elite is a bit a variance (maybe) yours yours (perhaps). There is an Empire (5 Eyes, Banking/Wall Street/City of London/CB controlled, Deep State/three lettered agencies ruled) with an apex ruling mechanism. Since it all works in the shadows, it hard to pin down. But, nonetheless, Covid Terrorism operated throughout the Empire with a breathtaking uniformity. The uniformity is the tell because it suggests centralized control over large territory (EU, UK, NZ, Australia, North America). As to Covid Terrorism, there was no fragmentation of implementation of The Plan. And as such, Covid Terrorism surely spilled the beans and confirmed suspicions as to the existence of an centralized 'authority.' I had always guessed at this. But the emergence of the covid era confirmed this much.

The American Independence War was still largely Calvinistic in nature by origins. But the cracks were big and opening up. For example, Jefferson's allegiances where philosophical and with the Enlightenment. Adams already was a Fallen Christian in that he and his wife embraced Unitarianism. Contrast this with the Son of Thunder, Patrick Henry whose 'Given me Liberty or Give Me Death' is practically right out of the Bible in its essence, that of Light or Darkness, sin or death, Christ or the Lord of Darkness. The old American Christian theology by habit and custom of the 17th and 18th century persisted into the 19th century but was unraveling, slowly be strangled and suffocated by secular forces. By the 20th century Calvinism was largely gone except in the Old Deep South which always bucked the trends of 'modernization'. By the 21st century, nearly all is lost and only a Christian remnant remains. Obviously a thumbnail sketch, but with some validity in an overall sense of survey.

I agree with you mostly. There is a whole world in Walk-Away. The One World ambition is largely done. And it will be a hard pressed for the Western Apex Rulers to keep the Empire intact. The EU might easily pry itself away from American domination, just as the Saudis most surprisingly walked. The Empire is largely a hollowed out shell now in the hands of feckless clown-like 'Leaders'.

There is a large danger, however, still looming as to the world. Transhumanist nano-technology can be gotten into people in a myriad of delivery systems, and the technology alters the human genome.This to me is the biggest existential threat to the safety of the people of the planet. I don't know how it will play out.

Okay! A mere ramble in a somewhat sloppy manner.

"Separation of Church and State" had a fine intention at the beginning, but it has been twisted. It was INTENDED to mean that the State can't make laws to establish a religion (as in Europe they had Catholicism or Protestantism as official national religions). But it was later turned into a mockery of itself, as the claim that "you aren't allowed to engage in politics based on your religion", which is the exact OPPOSITE of what was intended.

Everyone should be free to proudly hold their religious beliefs, the only thing they cannot do is mandate their specific church on others by force of law.

Many churches/leaders do not have the gift of discernment. Or few who are schooled in the prophecies of the Bible.

daverkb's avatar

Mostly, they the pretend church leaders are ignorant of Church history and have zero understanding of Christian orthodox theology. Most have never taught from the Confessions of Faith. Instead, they might as well be on TV selling skin cream, soap and big pharma drugs.

I know that this may sound harsh. But really, we should have little time and patience for, nor forbearance with people in very positions of responsibility who are totally incompetent. This goes for the rest of the societal leadership as well.

God bless you Anne but please don't give up teaching. If they won't let you speak truth then please find a church that preaches the Bible and teach kids there. Paul talks about this wedge between parents and kids in 2 Timothy 3:2 when speaking of the last days:

"For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,"

So it might be worth pointing that out to your tenth-grade know it all (I have two teenagers so I know the type), you were sticking to the Bible.

I know this probably sounds harsh but if anyone still has their kids in public school you are endangering them and will have to answer Jesus for it one day. I doubt that there was no choice because the money was spent on a new car or an expensive vacation will go over well.

I have my youngest child who will be a senior this year in public school. Sent him to a private Catholic school for his middle school years, and it was great. However, he wanted to go back to the public school for high school to be with his friends he had played sports with since he was in elementary school. I have a good friend who is a math teacher at the school and she helps keep me informed. I also have very open discussions with my son and he wants no part of the craziness. So while we have the funds to send him to private school, we made the choice to let him finish out in public school and he’s done very well. I think it’s a decision each parent has to decide on for themselves . He’s going to be going off to college soon and I’m going have a lot less control there and we know how woke the colleges have become. He’s very serious about going into law school eventually, so college is going to be necessary. I’d rather him have the skill set and foundation that I help him create now so he can take that into college and make good decisions for himself.

When my kids were younger, I honestly did not realize that this craziness was even happening in the schools. I will say if I had to start over at elementary school again, I would homeschool or put into a private school. I have a grandson now and I am hoping and praying they will keep him out of the system. God bless our children and all those fighting to save them🙏🙏🙏

Jeff C's avatar

I agree that it depends on the spiritual maturity of the kids. My younger son (10th grade) I have no doubt would not succumb to this, as he's firmly grounded in his beliefs. That being said, he wants no part of the nonsense and is happy we pulled him out years ago and put him in a strongly biblical school. Plus he gets taught the Bible every day as part of the curriculum and the best defense against this stuff is to know the Bible. When some counselor says, "maybe you are trapped in the wrong gender" a kid who knows the Bible will laugh out loud rather than take them seriously.

My older son is starting at a public university this year (after spending high school in the same biblical school) and I am a little concerned. However, he's also pretty well grounded and is taking a hard science major (electrical engineering) so there won't be much time for nonsense. Plus he's living at home for at least the first year so we should be able to help keep him focused.

Bottom line though is that public schools are populated with anti-Christian atheist activist staff, and other staff too cowardly to call them out. They are more worried about being called a bigot or their pension than protecting your kids. I don't care how well grounded kids are, I don't want my kids spending eight hours a day with these demons. Particularly if they are young.

Sara A's avatar

I’ll jump in and say that no matter your perception of your kids’ spiritual maturity, public school is an extremely challenging environment for any child or teen. I went to a Christian school all the way up until my junior year in high school and then switched over to the public high school. I didn’t participate in the parties and morally questionable activities and I went to youth group and even on a missions trip during that time. However, it’s an impressionable time for teens and it is seed planting - not for your child to plant seeds, but for the school to put lots of doubt into the kids’ minds. Even at a public university, I saw more of this. The difference is that high schoolers are more impressionable and the day-to-day schedule of high schools is extremely challenging to keep the world views out. This was over 20 years ago and I’m sure it’s worse now. Either way, I hope that parents don’t let down their guard. I know what it’s like going from a Christian school to public and both had kids with very ungodly behaviors, but the difference was that the teachers were even stacked against the the kids in pushing their liberal beliefs. Your child might not rebel now and maybe never, but it certainly wasn’t a healthy environment.

Jeff C's avatar

My kids went the opposite way, from a public school (academically high achieving though) to a biblical Christian school. After the first few weeks I asked my son what was the biggest difference. "The other kids don't curse" was his response.

So it's not just the staff but the students too. I don't want my kids associating with the children of lousy parents. We don't have school vouchers here, but I've come to view that as a blessing. Parents that send their children to my kid's school have to make sacrifices to do so. While not perfect, it's a pretty good screen for ensuring the parents are fully invested in their kid's upbringing. Plus the school is uncompromising in adhering to the Bible and it drives every decision. I know if my kids go to a teacher with an issue, that teacher will pray with them, open a bible and share relevant scripture, and tell them that Jesus loves them. It is incredible.

I will say that I did twelve years of Catholic schools myself, and perhaps things have changed, but I don't recall experiencing any of this. My high school was far more interested in how the football team did than what the Bible said. The principal (a priest) was later defrocked and caused a multi-million dollar payout for sexual abuse. Which is why I always say that a school must be *biblical* as just being "Christian" isn't good enough.

Beginning in Middle School, the peer pressure is immense.

I watched a video of a quite liberal single parenting mom, a lawyer,

who flipped out and woke up when she saw her daughter getting sucked into the trans vortex.

She got tough, took away the social media, moved the child to another school and said, ‘you’re starting fresh and you are starting with your true identity. The daughter tantrumed, said how much she hated her mom. It was a fight and a struggle, but the mom persisted and the daughter came around and now the relationship is good. Sounded like 2 or 3 years of pretty intense effort.

After mainly homeschool and Christian school, we allowed our older kids to go to public school. It provided the opportunity to discuss what they were encountering while they were still home...family dinner is critical as are longer times away like camping or laid back vacations. If they go away to college and encounter the crazy ideas for the first time from respected profs, there is no family dinner conversation to provide balanced perspective.

Jeff C's avatar

You know that's the exact same argument that was made against home schooling in general, that kids require being in school for social acclimation. It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now. We can (and do) discuss all the garbage out there without throwing them into the middle of it. It's not like this stuff is a secret.

Yes college is an adjustment. I made clear to my kids I would only pay for a hard science type college education (they are both bright and technically inclined) and insisted they live at home for the first year to adjust. They are free to ignore those requirements but if doing so then they will have to pay for their own education. Period. If they choose to abide by those rules, conduct themselves as Christian men, and apply themselves then I will pay fully and they can live at our house rent free (if so inclined) until they graduate.

This idea that kids are entitled to go off to distant college to "find themselves" (and we as parents are expected to foot the bill) is why so many kids go off the rails. And we as parents are fully within our rights to set clear expectations if they expect us to pay for it. My kids have known this since they were in elementary school so it was no surprise and they have no problem with it.

Willing Spirit's avatar

That is a good point. The parent involvement and direction is so key.

My younger daughter and son-in-law homeschooled in Jacksonville. Have 5 awesome children. Then they move to rural Ohio. The older 2 were high school age, the middle one in middle school, the ‘littlest’ in Elementary. And they loved the socialization of the schools there. It was just a treat for them. And the school district was over the moon to get these beautiful bright emotionally stable kids to push their standardized tests scores up.

daverkb's avatar

Given what I know now, I'd never send a kid to public school. However, I've seen some videos of older kids in public schools who know their 'teachers' are bat S crazy. And so, this kind of craziness may totally backfire for all its off the rail insanity.

In a Double However, my chief concern would be a real education. Home schooling and/or home schooling cooperatives ... and some private schools could possibly yield a superior eduction such as would be equal to two or three years or more of present day college/university level 'teaching'. And imagine the accelerated progress if a kid could find a school which would allow the taking of graduate level courses in undergraduate years.

No, I attend a Presbyterian (PCA) church in the Midwest and our pastor faithfully preaches the Truth found only in God’s Word and connects what’s going on in the world now with what God’s Word tells us.

Maybe instead of talking specifically about the LGBT agenda, give a lesson more generally about Cultural Marxism and describe their goal and what their movement has to gain from the destruction of the family? It's not just division via LGBTQ - they use race, men vs women, covid, climate change, and probably more I can't even think of. They've been "coming for our children" for decades.

Thank you, Anne, for teaching truth from scripture and using examples of what is happening around our children and grandchildren at this exact moment. If not, we’re just “telling stories of old” and there will be no connection made to what the Bible is saying and how it is being lived out in our present time! Now you know exactly who needs extra prayers. I’ll be praying for you to stay strong and “Armor up” because the darts will be coming. Thank you for stepping up.

The Bible does talk about debauchery, sexual perversions and sin so don’t ever let someone tell you that you shouldn’t talk about that. It was an abomination to God then as it is today. There’s nothing new under the sun. Stand firm on the truth of God’s Word and you can never go wrong. Its tolerance and acceptance to these rebellious and sick sexual sins that is fueling it today.

daverkb's avatar

You are right. Letting this pass, letting it get taught school is an assault on the family institution. It's simple divide and conquer. It's fathers against sons, daughters against mothers and so on. It is the destruction of the organization of society, as

a sort of sexualized Build Back Better flim-flam fraudulent scheme . Those preachers and politicians who aid and abet this unholy crusade are as evil as the perverse front line perps. And let it be said that to remain silent is a great evil. To be silent is to be seen to agree.

I find the children changing their identity week to week faddish to be wholly sinister. What is really being taught in acceptance under the pretense of pretend is that there are no anchors in the social/political order. The instruction to the young is that the new norm is a forever shifting quaking bog. No firm right and wrong, no firm good or evil. In the West Evil is the new celebrated Satanic God.

I was doing a search yesterday pertaining to the endocrine system and the effect of prescription hormones on young people. What I found was a Q & A on Quora. It was post after post of information, personal experiences & advice for newbies on using & getting these hormones. This particular page was centered on Estrogen. Posting were a few scattered medical pros, but mainly, they were by “trans” men some were rhapsodizing on the feelings of becoming feminine. Several were glibly endorsing experimentation. One particularly dismaying post was one explaining how it would help an 8 year-old (or younger) to start young so to more easily navigate their transition.

Several questions asked about trying it out, just to see what it’s like, or just wanting to not be depressed, angry, frustrated, annoyed & everything else hitting normal young men with hormones a-raging. Using estrogen and testosterone suppressants were the enthusiastically encouraged answer for it all — and links to easy procurement were handily provided.

Then it dawned on me: Among young people now, self medicating by taking hormones is quickly becoming a universal panacea. A readily available, crowned with praise, couched in virtue and professional legitimacy, cure-all for every difficulty puberty and adolescence throws at every kid ever born.

The guardians at the gate have been lured away or have joined in the pillage. The fires are being set faster than we can put them out and the winds are picking up.

Folks, this is the new drug of choice. Heads up. …Good Dad’s — see every kid as YOUR kid. Teach them how to navigate their new young challenges. PRAY!

I like this from Turkiye: Common sense from an Islamic country. 👍

"Our national future depends on keeping the institution of family alive with our national and moral values,” Gul wrote on Twitter, vowing not to allow “any activity that will weaken the institution of family.”

“The 113 people who participated with the goal of spreading [LGBTQ] propaganda have been detained,” the governor added.

I saw this too. No fooling around. C & C said it well that there were once laws against obscenity, public lewdness, public exposure, public intoxication ... and for good reason.

Truth tellers must NEVER stop teaching — or conversing. Each one teach one. We all must teach (not preach). Ask good questions. Often, those questions will start people thinking.

Changing the contagion will not happen quickly, so be patient. But please — everyone — keep trying. It takes a while to break through mass hysteria. YOU might be the person who adds just enough rope in this tug of war to swing the pendulum back to sanity.

Here are two good films to inspire you.

You are much better versed in the Bible than I am, I'm sure, Anne, but didn't God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for similar depravity? This age may have a different name for it, but it stems from the same impulses as then, yes? So, I think -- FWIW -- that your comments are absolutely pertinent and have a Biblical reference. Rebecca's post above referencing 2 Peter 13:19 is absolutely spot on.

YYR's avatar

Anne, this subversion is NOT only in public schools, that's a false sense of security. It started at Georgetown Prep, our newest SCOTUS Justice was involved, actually, and it was then rolled out to other NAIS private schools, and some Catholic schools too. And remember, being online, they can groom every child.

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

I agree with you! I also teach Sunday school, as I have for the past 40yrs plus. I've seen and heard it all. God's Word must remain foremost and with that said, it also means we apply today's life to what Scripture tells us. I try hard to bring aspects of our lives into my teaching of the Bible; the pedestrian angle. It can be challenging but I find that brutal honesty and faithfulness to God's word transcends my abilty. The Holy Spirit speaks over me. He does the same for you too! Thankful to hear there are faithful teachers! Keep it going!

Juliann's avatar

Keep teaching the truth. Especially to the ones who oppose it.

Joni's avatar

Anne, please keep standing for your convictions! They need people like you these days! I taught Sunday school for 16 years, it was bible based and when all this LGTBQ started and it was seeping in the church, I refused to include any of it in our curriculum and told them that! The satanic transgender movement hadn’t entered full swing yet, but other issues were evolving. We always had great conversations with the kids and its amazing just how deeply they do think!

🗨 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

🗨 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”

Very true Rebecca. My first thought on seeing those images was…we’re seeing real-time Sodom and Gomorrah in our midst. When I first read that story so long ago it was hard to envision what that scene might have looked like….now I know exactly what it looked like.

PamelaZelie's avatar

Seeing those images makes me wonder how long the Good Lord will allow this depravity.

Copernicus's avatar

Good point.

It is still often shocking and stunning to realize that we are indeed living in exactly that. And in Romans 1. It is all conundrum true right in front of us. It is no longer theoretical or relegated to studies of ancient Rome. It is right here and right now.

Yes, Freebird, a year or more ago I said to my hubby, Sodom and Gomorrah. And it's much worse now.

AngelaK's avatar

They want to normalize sexual depravity to children, with all the money of George Soros to push all this. I don't believe for one moment that there aren't many perverts and sell outs who are getting checks to do all sorts of things in this country we never thought we would see or hear.

Once the conscience, concepts of ethical and moral integrity, and of sin, have been washed away in our people, getting paid and taking money to sell your soul is easy.

Look at all the actors and actresses having to do sex scenes today. Umm.. do they even realize that they are sinning?

Dick's avatar

We saw this depravity in many cities back in the late 70’s & It’s been going on ever since. Only then they were called “Gay Pride” parades. With the rise of trans, they had to cut the name. Inclusivity, you know.

Now, it’s plastered everywhere though, and they’re trying to show it celebrated broadly. It’s more in your face — but it’s especially more in the children’s faces.

Their parents and teachers grew up with this stuff in the background of their consciousness. Now it’s at the forefront of ours. It’s been happening and growing for a long time.

Psalm 101:3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.

Matt 6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body.”

It’s expected INDIVIDUALS will commit shameful acts and they typically keep it to themselves or within the group they share it with.

Yes we are living in a time when God will give them over to their shameful lusts, give them over to sinful desires of their hearts for sexual impurity, give them over to a deprived mind. GIVE THEM OVER. The Word speaks about this and more in Romans 1 with regard to a culture of sexual immorality. We must renew our own thinking by staying in the Word and being wise about what is going on in the world without being infected by the satanic worldview.

As for our children, we must protect their moral innocence. There are private schools that have moral innocence as a pillar in their educational philosophy. Send your kids there. It’s inexcusable that a church would not enforce moral innocence in its Sunday schools for everyone.

The images are gross, but perhaps sharing these with those who think the pride parade is just another cute parade would be good.

Yakima had a pride parade that lasted all of 5 minutes, while only 150 miles away in Seattle all manner of debauchery is taking place

Dick's avatar

I wrote this in response to a previous post. I’m reposting it here, because I was in Seattle when I first understood what these really were. And yes, it was flamboyantly abandoned and debauched even then. City leaders participated, as now. There was very little coverage & that was utterly sanitized. The gay papers had photos & gloried it it though. We thought it would just go away.

Here’s the post:

Yes. He is a rino uniparty member.

Dick's avatar

He was always playing a part. Uniparty isn’t just a clever derogatory political slur; it’s a truth. They’re all cohorts in the same plan. Aparatchniks.

Why has the republican party been so apparently impotent over the years (with but a few exceptions)? Why did they never kept their promises, except to throw us an occasional bone?

Depravity and chaos is their sustenance. Lying is their breath.

At their core, whether bred to it, bought, bribed coerced or blackmailed (or all of the above), they’re all part of the Beast.

And they know it!

…Let that last sink in.

So…Bush hasn’t changed. He was ever thus. He has, as have the whole corrupt (or worse) lot of them worn their masks, said their lines, played their roles. We have been duped.

Julie Ann B's avatar

Absolutely! His true colors came out when he happily handed over the presidency to Barry Soetoro and was so chummy with the Obummers and Clinton’s at Bush 41’s funeral. He refused to criticize Obummer throughout his failed, miserable presidency but chimed right in to criticize President Trump. What a loser!

Bush 41 was head of the CIA. Enough said.

Like Jeff, I am watching the crowds believing that the next evidence of criminality will finally topple the degenerate criminal globalist regime we live under. And it occurred to me that every time I've had a whiff of redemption, a bright moment, it's been because I had HOPE that was based in the rule of law. That THAT cavalry would finally arrive. But what do we do when we've completely lost the chance of that? We have a majority of decent people who just want to get on with their lives, who just want 2019 back, who want the old institutions to function, but no matter how egregious and criminal, our evil and disgusting "leadership" is never held to account. Somebody please convince me again that the arc of history does bend towards justice...

The arc of history doesn’t just bend towards justice - from the beginning it’s been flying like an arrow directly towards it. However, it is Gods’ justice applied in His time and in His way and it will be utterly horrifying for those who are not His. I hope that you will find yourself to be one of those - redeemed by Christ - before that day.

Devolan —

You mean THIS part?

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Go in peace and God Bless.

Almost everybody is resisting as though we still live in a democracy: petitions, campaigns, candidates, laws, winning arguments with overwhelming facts and evidence. Resistance to a tyrannical government takes very different forms

Dick's avatar

We never lived in a “democracy” we live in a Constitutional Republic. We must know the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of rights. These are the Law of the land. It is to these that we must hold ourselves, our government, laws and everyone accountable. All laws and governmental bodies must conform to these or else they are unlawful and liable. Our obligation is to disobey them.

Lawful justice lives only within the confines of the intent expressed in the words of the Constitution as the brilliant and inspired Founders wrote it. They were very clear about the meanings as expressed in their writings.

Corruption has captured all of our institutions, top to bottom, but there are those inside and outside these institutions using lawful, but not always straightforward means to restore our republic to integrity and justice.

You have mentioned those working within the justice system (as Jeff does). These individuals have achieved many successes —please do not disparage them. Others are pending; the wheels of justice grind slowly.

As Jeff knows, as well, information is paramount.

Resistance, yes. Absolutely. But with utmost wisdom, knowledge, courage and prudence. And we need to apply those virtues to ourselves in our self-governance, first.

What I posted in the previous reply above are wise and

So immoral. I warned my sister in law to be sure my mother in law does NOT get this thing. Or any others.

Between all the shots for the elderly (flu, pneumonia, shingles, and now they wanna give middle aged folks the hepatitis B), plus the environmental toxins in and on our food and water, plus EMF (mother in law has a pacemaker, thanks Safe and Effective, that communicates WIRELESSLY with a box every night, and I am sure the box communicates wirelessly with wherever it sends its data)... no wonder our elders - and we - are so unhealthy.

I am convinced that my mom was vaxx injured back in 2017. She had just had a really bad respiratory infection, with coughing so bad that she broke a rib. Her doc said she had probably had whooping cough so instead of congratulating her on building natural immunity, he gave her the pertussis vaxx. About a week later she started having all kinds of crazy symptoms and true to allopathic medicine today, they threw drugs at her and sent her home. She lived in excruciating pain for another year and before passing away. I will never have another vaxx as long as I live. There are so many things worse than death.

GBS is no picnic. It is an autoimmune disease and it can cause partial or complete paralysis. Complete paralysis like you end up in a nursing home wearing a diaper, eating mashed up food, and praying for death to relieve you of your misery.

I had chicken pox as a kid. Then at 51 I had shingles. The virus lives inside to raise it’s ugly head whenever. I thought shingles was only for “old folks” & was stunned when my doctor diagnosed me. Excruciating pain.

All said... I fell for the shingles shots - both the single one then later the two-fer.

My husband too. He had no reactions. The 2nd one of the two-fer (Shingrix) made me feel like I had the flu.

Knowing what I do today... never again! Altho my shingles pain was worse than labor pains or appendix rupture.

(No cv19 shots for us “elderlies” nor anymore flu either)

Shingles is seriously bad, causing permanent chronic pain for some.

Re shingle prevention and treatment, many helpful herbs are listed on many reliable website. Can’t recall them at the moment. Also a plethora of natural antivirals & supps. A foods list can be found as well. Shingles can be triggered by an argenine/ lysine imbalance (they are amino acids from proteins) Lysine rich foods help greatly as can taking lysine supplements. I understand that cayenne can help with the rash, but there are other herbs as well.

Just read the link. From *2021*!!!!

And every year my husband’s dr pushes the thing. And every year my husband says he’ll pass.

I went to my appointment at the VA, the nurse didn't know, and neither did my doctor.

LC-65 was used to clean hard contact lenses and the solution would be washed off. So, the nasties remained on the lenses even after running them under water.

I had been using it for years and then I developed a reaction - extreme photo sensitivity.

Susan Stephens's avatar

I was told by a nurse that Thimerosal is a preservative! It was in my son’s allergy shots & caused burning sensations after his shots. Horrible

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

Exactly! It was used a preservative in soft and hard contact lens solution. It was also in vaccines... Thimersol is a mercury derivative, if I remember correctly.

AJF's avatar

Quite amazing that parents are so very cautious about what goes into their child's stomachs but happily inject heavy metals (adjuvants in vaccines) into their bodies! Oh yeah, I forgot! "SAFE & EFFECTIVE" 🙄

Similar to hippy-granola crunchers who are non-GMO this and that.

Look at the imbeciles that have to have gluten free, even though they don't have celiacs disease, and think somehow gluten is bad. The idiocy is astounding.

Mary H.'s avatar

The use of adjuvants (such as aluminum ) has also been found to be harmful and may be tied to autism, allergies etc.

Dick's avatar

Hmmm….Aluminum adjuvants cause allergies you say…Isn’t it allergies that the thimerosal-containing shots are used for? (Please note a post just above)

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

Thimerosal is always used in vials of vaccines that have multiple doses.

Don't think it is in single dose vials.

BTW, the over-65 shots, both flu pneumonia, are like 3 to 4 times the strength of the regular flu and pneumonia shots.

Renee Sommers's avatar

I’ve also read if the multi dose vial isn’t shaken up completely you can get a heavier dose of Thimerosal.

CynthiaS's avatar

You are correct, multi-dose has Thimerisol, single dose doesn’t...but it’s all bad IMHO.

Susan Stephens's avatar

Terrible! Another issue w/ said shots (any “vax,” or yearly mass distribution shots) is the one size fits all. In either RFK Jr. book (Fauxci) or Dissolving Illusions that point was made; such as black people respond differently to said injections differently from Caucasians. Need to tailor to body makeup but don’t.

Also weight should factor in. I’d never thought about those differentials before but makes perfect sense.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

Correct.

Imagine giving the same dose shot to a 110-pound woman and a 250-pound man.

N Springer's avatar

Or the same rabies vaccine to a 2 pound teacup chihuahua as you give to a 150 pound Great Dane. Insanity!

Not dementia, Alzheimers. It was unheard of when I was a child (I grew up as an only child spending a good deal of time around my grandparents, therefore hearing their generation talk about their friends and relatives).

Renee Sommers's avatar

It’s also the statins. According to Dr. Michael Eades of The Arrow Substack, there are two kinds, fat soluble and water soluble. The fat soluble stays in your brain and kidneys and people taking it have a 50% dementia rate. He also says “the cholesterol causes heart attacks” is just a hypothesis. It’s never been tested. Add yearly flu shots to the chemical stew....

Dick's avatar

!!! We need studies & accountability.

Oona Pilot's avatar

why I've never volunteered for a statin. Everyone so convinced they are da bomb, but I've not seen the proof that they STOP strokes... or indeed benefit the Scleoris (sp) of the artery....

Renee Sommers's avatar

Dr. Eades says studies show for women, it only extends your life by five days. If you’re a man, under 65 with heart disease, a statin is recommended. He wrote the book Protein Power back in the 90’s. Keto before it was Keto. Basically it’s sugar that causes inflammation in our veins. There was a sugar and fat war in the 70’s and sugar (Advertisers) won. The hypothesis was that fat and cholesterol caused heart disease. Everyone went low fat and they started putting sugar in EVERYTHING. That’s why everyone is fat compared to the 80’s. High Fructose Corn syrup is in every packaged food from crackers to ketchup.

Dick's avatar

And they also vilified good, protective and nutritious fats at the same time! Heart disease has increased as has mortality by other causes.

Dick's avatar

Angela, they used to use the term senility, and it was not uncommon (at least to my personal knowledge), going the generation born back around the turn of the 20th century. Recall also the hijacking of medical training & practice by the Rock. Pharma-based system during their lifetime.

This could have been exacerbated by the introduction of processed fats (hydrogenated) and a change in the way foods were preserved (Lacking the lacto-fermented life bac & enzymes — dead. Even then — canned, thus sterile. They also consumed added preservatives and very high sugar & white bread). Lifestyle, and deficiencies of protective agents like vits. D, C, A, etc; chemical contamination of food, air and water, from wars & industrialization, & drugs; hygiene was improved in one way, but overdone.

I know this is long/winded & just raises a lot of questions.

Sorry.

…It makes me wonder, tho’, whether anyone has found a study into the health & longevity differences between the farm folks vs those in the cities, of around that time.

One more thing…My Danish physician cousins said they ONLY used Alzheimers in reference to EARLY onset of symptoms. This would be be in the middle aged, but not the elderly.

AngelaK's avatar

Yes you are right about senility. I also used to hear about lots of old timers from my in laws who were their neighbors on their island in Greece. Two cases of senility is all I remember them talking about. My 93 year old grandmother in law there would sometimes not know, or rather, get confused about who she was talking to, but in no instances, the violence and complete lack of memory which characterize Alzheimers today.

In addition to all that you said (I also like to hypothesize), I believe that the annual flu shots may also be contributing. My mom never got one, and at 88 when she passed a few months ago, everyone who met her was amazed at her sharp, keen and astute mind. She was an amateur historian, having read, literally, an entire library of books in her lifetime, and was writing on geopolitical forums up until a month before her death.

Dick's avatar

I’m so sorry. My mother was not as accomplished, but was an avid reader with a sharp mind, curiosity and many interests. I think that sugar and new antibiotics for UTIs (especially cipro) contributed, plus all the flu shots & various medications over-prescribed. She had had ministrokes & a fluctuating dementia, but not alzheimers. I changed her diet, added herbs & supps & saw improvement, but she died (thanks to family members withholding fluids after a stroke — which was not fatal! (She was interacting with us; she was not at deaths door) she was 93.

Alzheimers has been called diabetes of the brain. Interesting, no?

AngelaK's avatar

I am so sorry but you were a good son! Interesting about cipro. Yes, antibiotics can damage the gut and all health comes from the gut, good doctors are rediscovering.

Dick's avatar

Angela, thanks for all your great posts! I did help her get off her heart meds, cure her cystitis-related UTI’s, and was healing her gut after many years of the UTI/ antibiotic cycles (fermented foods & etc) She had made great progress.

I am Dick’s widow, btw. I went to care for my parents after caring for my beautiful husband’s struggle through massive brain bleed injury and Glioblastoma. I researched like crazy & applied what I learned in Mom’s care, as she’d been widowed a few short months after Dick went to be with his savior. The difficulty was mainly opposition from certain siblings. So sad. Many are in similar positions wrt their siblings & care of a parent. But that’s another story for another day.

Blessings!

Susan Stephens's avatar

Our son (now 55) was taking allergy shots when he was 9-10. Not a whiner, but each time he’d be on verge of tears saying it burned. After investigating I learned the why; Thimerosal! It’s a preservative used to increase shelf life of the vile vial. The poison was eliminated, & so were his shots in due time.

I shouldn’t have read this before going to bed. Now I’m going to have nightmares about the Doritos-bow “performer,” who looks like a Buffalo Bill wannabe wearing a face skinned from his latest victim.

Steph D's avatar

The disturbed individual with the Doritos bag hair bow epitomizes to me what many believe is the current trend of porn crazed men. These are creeps who have allowed themselves to devolve into what is known as ‘autogynephilia’, (noun) A form of sexual response in biological males characterized by sexual arousal over the idea of being or becoming female.)

His face is not only made to look like a clown-faced female impersonator but also has theatre makeup created wounds to look as though this “woman” is battered and abused.

Allie Beth Stuckey has discussed this topic on her ‘Relatable’ podcast several times with various experts on the topic. The dark and disturbing roots of this condition actually stems from a deep hatred of women.

Similarly, the type of MEN who identify as female and have committed heinous crimes against women are also being sent to women’s prisons. Biological women in these prisons are being beaten, raped and impregnated by these monsters.

Allie Beth described it as one of the most viscous human rights atrocities of our times.

Democracy has always been akin to tyranny (rule by the majority)..

That's always been the fairy tale version of "democracy." Throughout our history, there's always been an out-group with restricted/no free speech rights here.

Neil Kellen's avatar

True enough, but until about 20 years ago those out-groups were in the minority and, as immoral as that was, the Republic survived. We have an inversion now where the minority - a pretty small minority at that - is the in-group and 70% or more of the country is the out-group.

Last week i got my hair done by my favorite hair stylist and close friend, who is gay and lives with two other gay men, one of whom was at the salon. I noticed they weren’t flying their pride flag this year and I hadn’t gotten my invitation to the local pride drag show (which I have enjoyed going to in the past as it was always hysterical). They said : “Girl, are you kidding? We don’t want any part of that this year. We aren’t having the drag show and the flag is out away. The weirdos have hijacked pride and they don’t represent us. It’s too f-ed up even for us!” Maybe the LG’s need to start their own coup and reclaim their platform.

OJen's avatar

I know a lot of gay people who feel this way. It's sad because for years *most* gay people just wanted to be accepted and seen as normal, regular people, wanted to be left alone in peace to pursue the same kinds of lives and the same kind of family life as straight people. And now here we are "celebrating" the most outrageous outliers and making sure no one ever sees gay people as "normal" ever again. Among other ill effects, it's just another divide and conquer strategy. And it's working.

I've never liked Halloween in October. But I truly despise it in June. The Western World has lost its collective mind.

Based Florida Man's avatar

As I become more conservative (anti-vax, no longer support any thing gay, etc) I've also learned that Halloween is another holiday designed to weaken the Christian societies.

Religious people should adopt other ways to celebrate autumn.

Big E's avatar

I agree with you about Halloween — it’s basically a pagan holiday. People down the street from me in Oregon objected to Halloween on the same basis you do — more than 15 years ago! Ahead of the curve, they were. As an adult, I have always found Halloween to be creepy; just didn’t really know why until recently.

Susan Stephens's avatar

Halloween. As a youngster I didn’t like it. As an adult I now know why. Whether people acknowledge it or not I believe it’s satan’s day/night & he revels in it.

I remember Corrie ten Boom saying if one steps in to satan’s territory, then it fair game for him. She used an analogy of a soldier in the forest where he’s unsure of the boundary line dividing his side from the enemy’s. She said if he steps into enemy territory even unknowingly, he’s fair game for the enemy. Rules of war. She went on to point out innocently playing w/ a Quiji board opens one up to our enemy. It’s not always intentionality that matters it’s what we open ourselves into.

She also said not all who stray into enemy territory are “captured.” But who knows who will & who won’t.

Sunnydaze's avatar

We too, never celebrated Halloween with our kids. 25-30 years ago we said NOPE. It’s a satanic evil holiday designed to celebrate the most vile creatures scaring people. Yuck. There was nothing redeeming about it. To this day we laugh because so many times we’d be in the store with our 5-6 yr old son and the cashier would say “what are you dressing up for tonight” and my son would say “I don’t dress up for Halloween cuz it’s yucky” 😂 The cashier would look shocked. Hahahahaa. He did the same thing at Christmas when the cashiers would ask if he was excited for a visit from Santa. 😂 He’d say stuff like “No cuz Santa clause is fake. He’s not real.” To this day at 26 he thanks us for not lying to him about all that stuff.

Not Me's avatar

Halloween is short for “All Hallows Day” which is the day before the Christian “ALL SAINTS DAY’ where Christians remember those who have gone before and left a Christian Legacy. People believed their spirits would come back on all Hallows day because people would be remembering them and thanking God for their lives and influence.

Dick's avatar

Well, they had it partly right. They don’t “come back”, but it’s beautiful to remember the lives of martyrs and great saints.

Shelle's avatar

We haven't celebrated Halloween with our children because, as we told them, "This is a holiday about celebrating death. And we celebrate life."

Jesus came and died to give us abundant life. Christians honor Christ's death, but always conclude with the joy of the resurrection.

Our kids look around at all the ghoulish stuff and they get it! With Halloween, you're wallowing in decay and horror.

We have had a lot of fun anyway. We turn down all the lights in our house so as not to attract trick or treaters. We use just candlight or flashlights (because we don't want neighbors to be offended if they see we are home but not hosting trick or treaters) and watch a movie in our furthest room from the street. We bake something , make popcorn, etc.

That little tradition of trying not to draw attention (which they take to mean sneaking around our house) delights our kids. I recommend it to others because it turns out that our kids find the effort of avoiding Halloween to be so much fun! I think there are life lessons to be drawn from that. Like you don't always have to stand out while doing something different. You can quietly do your own thing and have no regrets.

October 31 is the day Martin Luther posted the 95 theses. So there is a pretty cool alternative for Protestants to celebrate that day. I’ve done that my whole life.

The pride parades. My goodness! I cannot fathom how we got here, except to read what the Bible says about sin and fallen humanity. Duke Medicine is located about 40 miles from my home. Recently it was reported that this clinic begins treating "gender confused children" when they are toddlers. The head of the clinic is Dr. Deanna Adkins, a transgender person. Since Dr. Adkins presents as a woman, I will refer to him by male pronouns, assuming that is his biological sex. Read this ridiculous denial of reality, as shared by him, a man pretending to be a woman. “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity. It is counter to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female." Remind me, wasn't it "medical science" that got us into so much trouble the last few years? I prefer genuine science, based on truth.

RJ Rambler's avatar

Remember when we thought binding children's feet and cutting out the clitoris was third world atrocities? 😭

Anne Clifton's avatar

Exactly! There was a well-known model who a media darling at the time. I guess she was wrong, it was actually some kind of gender affirming care.

Sunnydaze's avatar

It’s beyond anything rational. There is simply no way to legitimately get from chromosomes to disregarding actual genitalia and pretending we can’t see what we can actually see with our own eyes.

It’s blasphemy of the truth!!

Someday there will be a reckoning with this depravity of humans. I’m just glad I’m choosing to be on the legitimately correct side. Honestly, it isn’t difficult to choose the correct side either….it’s almost like having common sense 😉.

Anne Clifton's avatar

About 20 years ago I worked with a guy who seemed to be a really strong Christian. I really admired him and enjoyed talking with him. He was married and had four children. A few years after I left the job, I learned that he had abandoned his family and declared himself to be gay. He has become a radical defender of the LBGTQ agenda and espouses hatred of Christians who stand up for the truth of the Bible. As most of these people seem to be, he is very angry. Thinking back, I remember he took a part-time job at a furniture/home decor store and commented one day that lots of homosexuals shopped there. Was that the beginning of his downfall? You're so right about common sense. These people are denying reality, so they have to try to shut us up because we challenge their foolishness.

Fre'd Bennett, MAHA's avatar

I had a similar experience, Annie. Had a male assistant who was a Contemporary Christian Music songwriter on the side.

Every Halloween people wore costumes to work, and he always dressed like Mrs. Doubtfire. Every time.

You can guess the rest. One day he quit and ran off with a homosex German dude named Gunter. I kid you not - you can't make this stuff up.

The pride parades have been awful for years. I remember being in NYC 10 years ago and to give an idea of what they were then just one example a woman had on a miniskirt and two stickers covering her nipples that said ‘Proud as F---‘ and that was 10 years ago. My friend and I ducked into a coffee shop to avoid any potential conflicts between the parade goers and two obviously conservative Christian girls. Again, that was 10 years ago.

Much longer than that. Back around 2002/2003, I went to Chapel Hill, NC (known LGBTQ+ land for a long time) to meet a study group. I didn't know it was pride parade day and got stuck at a light on the parade street. Very small street so I couldn't get turned around and had to wait it out. I must've sat there mouth agape at least 10 minutes. I had NO idea. Men mostly naked and wearing the BDSM attire, etc. Shortly after that, the pride parade in Chapel Hill got canceled because it was deemed too lewd. I wonder if they allowed one on Saturday... that was the beginning of the end for me with the "live and let live" crowd.

Jeff C's avatar

Yup, I remember someone who went by the name of Zombie went to the SF pride parade about 15 years ago and documented the full-on depravity. All of this was going on back then. None of this is new but people ignored it as it was out of sight out of mind.

In the last several years someone (the WEF??) decided it was going to be full-on pushed in schools which woke people up. Now lots of people are documenting what has been happening for a long time and drawing attention to it. Thank goodness. The "disgust reaction" is still strong in most people who have not yet had it conditioned out of them. There is a full scale backlash as seen with Bud Light, Target, the NHL, the Dodgers, and Disney.

RunningLogic's avatar

I think it was also the fact that SF and a few other larger cities were the ones who had these parades but when smaller cities started joining in, people began paying more attention.

Bud Light got a taste of that, and yet people are still buying other AB products which is keeping them floating. Stop buying all AB products.

And they are coming to stay at our house for their vacation and I have made it abundantly clear that we will host them, but we will not go with them and fund this shameful company.

This is the problem with the Parks and with Pride Parades as well to some extent. Clueless parents want colorful events to take their children to. The Parks still offer that somewhat innocently though the parades do not. (Isn't public nudity against the law anymore?🤔)

I wonder if:

1. the parents know what they are in for?

2. Or if the parents delusionally think they are being so wonderfully progressive and enlightened in going to parades?

Anyway: My thought is: Wholesome colorful and fun events like the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade need to be sponsored around the country as alternatives to the perversion parades.

Patriotic and ethnic parades are a bit boring so they dont count..

You just said it right. “How readily we rationalize around our convictions when we desire something.” THAT is spot on. We are all guilty of doing it in some ways. This is what we are seeing with Disney. People just wanna go have fun. They just wanna go vacation. Fun is stronger than conviction.

Agreed. The difference is simply some will acknowledge the conviction preferences and strive to do better and not be a hypocrite, while others simply go have fun and stuff the conviction down deep.

Introspection and self-awareness can be a beetch sometimes. Integrity demands it, though. Still, it makes one always a bit of an odd man out, doesn’t it?

Already have our tickets and have spread it to everyone I can. Thanks for sharing it again!

A bit off of today's topics, but someone mentioned a pacemaker needed from the "safe & effective" their MIL recieved. Well.... we are looking to purchase a new car and the topic of EV came up with the salesperson. This salesperson is friends with a cardiologist and the cardiologist said that several patients in their practice are having issues with their pacemakers. The cardiologist found out that these patients own EVs. The doctor believes that the large battery in the EVs are interferring with pacemakers since the driver sits close to the large battery. The doctor is keeping records of these problems. This would be very important to anyone who has a pacemaker and looking to get an EV.

Thanks for that info. I believe that if the battery can interfere with the pacemaker that it can also interfere with a "regular" heart because the heart is essentially the body's battery and it "fires" just like a battery and has electrical current running through it 24/7 until it doesn't. If EMF's can interfere with calcium ion transport across cardiac cell membranes, it's very possible that an E.V. battery could also interfere with the ionic/electrical workings of the heart.

Thank you for sharing this! I have a young male relative now with a pacemaker right after the S&E shots.

my husband has a pacemaker now too. I do thank God for it! it keeps him alive.

Do the EV manufacturers get credit for "sequestering carbon" when their customers die?

RunningLogic's avatar

Oh wow! Never would have thought about that possibility!

Some of the gay community is fighting back against the insanity, https://www.gaysagainstgroomers.com

I think their FAQ is interesting, and I'm glad they believe in just two sexes.

I wish they'd take a stance against gay couples adopting children. That should not be allowed. All efforts should be to adopt kids to couples that include a mom and a dad.

Cyn's avatar

I agree in theory, but so many children are exploited in the foster system. I have two male gay friends who are married and adopted a special needs child years ago. They have raised a very healthy, heterosexual son who probably would not be attending college today and embarking on a successful adult life otherwise. It’s a tough call, but I also see your point. What we need is common-sense social workers who do the job of making sure adopted children are placed in loving homes that won’t further exploit them.

I've known several of these scenarios where stable gay couples give loving and beneficial homes to children who otherwise would be homeless, loveless, and parentless. It's crazy to me that anyone would want to deny that chance to a child just because of parental sexual preference. A minority of gay people are the freaks in these pride parades. And there are also plenty of straight couples that abuse the kids in their care. Like you say, let's focus on making sure social workers are competent enough to discern loving homes from abusive homes without arbitrary rules about demographics.

It is true, there are horrendous straight homes and adoption and or foster parents, yet there are very important reasons a child needs both a healthy male and healthy female tudorship, family, and example. It is that both, when spiritualy mature, inspire ecellent examples of different qualities that ALL need to learn to emulate, for a healthy culture. There is a reason the family structure is male and female. Humans did not create themselves, and a child can best learn disparate good qualities from a father and a mother, and a healthy culture accepts the wisdom from nature, directed by the Divine.

Cyn's avatar

I agree as well, David, with your points; however the world is not as it should be and children do need living guidance, wherever it may be provided. Prayers for humanity’s return to God.

OJen's avatar

I don't necessarily disagree in theory, but to deny a child a stable home AT ALL rather than one you may see as less than ideal is certainly not the answer.

Based Florida Man's avatar

Ensuring at a minimum that a child has a mom and a dad is not an 'arbitrary rule about demographics'.

OJen's avatar

A "minimum" would be ensuring that a child has a safe and loving home and family, regardless of the sexual orientation of the parents. We live in a world that is very far from ideal, and unless the gay-adoption critics are willing to start taking in kids themselves, then it would behoove us to take any stable couple up on their willingness to provide a home and a family where before there was none.

Mark Alexander's avatar

I know a lesbian couple (very well-off professionals) who adopted two black babies whose mothers were crack addicts. These kids are now approaching 20, have attended the finest private schools in their area, and are doing very well indeed. So it can work.

Globalists now seek:

1) Biden out on health grounds

2) Hunter out with him faded into obscurity after his plea deal

3) Trump locked up or disqualified

4) RFK Jr marginalized like Bernie Sanders was

5) A Gavin Newsom Vs Ron DeSantis presidential race

You overlooked this one: Biden-Fetterman 2024: It's A No-Brainer

(saw it on a t-shirt)

Based Florida Man's avatar

Can you imagine. A twist on this is 'Trump 45 and 47'. But if they get Biden out of the way, then Harris becomes the 47th president.

For the 2024 election, it will be quite a job for them to claim White boy Newsom should take her spot. That could be a reason they'll want to keep Biden for his full term.

Ohhhhhhh you are on to something there!!! How do they oust Camel toe without offending the racial wars they actually started! Hahahahaha 😂 It’s comedic genius in clown world!! 🙌

Read “The Return of the Gods” by Rabbi Johnathan Chan. The Pride Crowd are a pagan cult and anyone who takes their child to witness this depraved display are sacrificing their own to the demon Baal.

Thankfully June( homo and freak month) is almost over and the fags, freaks, and homos (the repulsive alphabet clan) can all go back into their closet where they belong. Maybe someone could look for the keys and keep them locked in their closets forever.

It does amaze me that because of a lifestyle choice these freaks get extra rights that normal heterosexuals don’t, now call that discrimination. Now I’m just wondering when is heterosexual month?

Anne Clifton's avatar

I've declared June Humility Month. Seems Biblical to me.

PamelaZelie's avatar

For devout Catholics, June has always been the month devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We are fighting back with increased prayer and devotion to the Good Lord.

RunningLogic's avatar

I like that very much 🙂

The good news is that next year the other 90% of the population will be prepared

Ha! As if. No, these degenerates now have full license throughout the year.

Make closets great again (with locks on the outside)

Or Age Discrimination Month? Or White Discrimination Month?

When I see Garland I see a man whose children are making millions off our educational system by pushing CRT books and such. Then he goes after moms trying to stop the CRT agenda. He is one of the most corrupt people in our government today. Nothing changes until he is gone from office.
