No offense at all!! We are all unique wings with our own thoughts and decisions, experiences, education, etc. what a boring world if we all thought alike!!!

Real self (to me) is not falling for the propaganda and being strong in your own truth. I think we both feel that way my friend!

I should have also added that I 100% agree with the religious beliefs our country was founded on. What I don’t agree with is the new church council that has hijacked most “churches” and mind feeds propaganda. How many churches willlingly complied with masks and shut downs? So again, from my angle, the real self is able to unlock the shackles of the mind of the masses and independently and critically think. ♥️

Within my own circle, we have agreed, with counsel from psychologists and historians (me, primarily) that undoing what has blossomed over the past 10 years or so, with the current generation, will require 50 years to undo (2 generations). Though the immediate temptation is to push through legislation, which we are doing, the reconstruction begins with the turn in the practice of church leaders, and the sheeple who follow them. The Christian church (and Jewish Synogogue) is going to have to lead us out of this, but reformation is the prerequisite. It is underway. The Methodists, the Episcopals, the Catholics, and, I presume, others, are all under seige. I should point out, with much delight, that many of the most dedicated, talented, and outspoken leaders of our movement are Jewish. I am concerned, as I think you are really saying yourself, that the secularist will not have the COURAGE of conviction to stand against the regime that has been created. Or the wisdom to discern.

You are absolutely correct. Add me to the two generations to turn this around camp with you and your circle. We lost the ability to discern and critically think our way through the fog that we have been taught to believe. I pray that people will be able to “wake up” from that fog!

I was raised Lutheran. The “establishment” has hijacked what I knew church to be in the 1980’s. It has led me to spend less time in a pew and more time in the Bible reading scripture and connecting with it on a very personal level. I have watched how the “church” has become a political regime that regurgitates what the “bishop and the synod” want them to tell their congregations. When they closed down worship due to covid I knew we were hijacked and coming back was going to be very hard. It was probably a blessing in disguise for me, as it truly led me back to the word of God and not merely the weekly sermon from the pastor in the pulpit. Finding our relationship with God is the most important thing we can do, not just following what the synod leaders want us to do. I love the information you shared today! I have been traveling all day so I am finally getting a chance to absorb your words even more. Wise words, and so true. The ego of the individual is part (a lot) of what got us into this mess. Having the courage to unlearn and relearn are a must! ❤️
