To me it was a OMG moment. If a stack of these were set outside a grocery store, a coffee shop, train station, etc. people could see what has been unfolded before their faces. One would expect many of these places not to permit this type of solicitation, but I wonder how many people would react like I did if they actually saw it.
I have been struggling along with so many others in comprehending evil. What is evil and the depths of it? On the surface, it sounds obvious. But is it really? Most people have a preconceived notion of evil and make light of it. In turn there seems to be a preconceived notion to the limits of evil. We tend to compartmentalize and make rules for it. Anything outside of that set of rules is not believable. How many times have you heard -- "Back in those times they punished people that way, but we live in the modern era." Or "Thank goodness we don't do things like that anymore." From this and other similar statements, you can see there is a compartmentalization of an unpleasant learning. When we learn something, we first capture it, then we rationalize it by categorizing it and then finally compartmentalize it. As a result, we are left explaining away the unpleasant learning in such a way that it is commonly verbalized in the form -- "Well that was in the past and thank goodness we live in a more civilized society." Is this true though? I think not.
I recently read that Ammon Bundy was thrown in jail on a $10,000 bail, put in isolation, stripped of his insulating clothes, and suffered hypothermia for refusing to wear a face mask to a court hearing for a misdemeanor trespassing as a result of participating in a protest. The isolation units are climatically controlled for chilling temperatures. This is purposely done to cause physical and psychological stress and harm. Bundy described his personal experience as being nothing less than modern day torture. All of this for a misdemeanor and refusing to wear a mask? How is this any different than those rulers and their medieval dungeons?
The belief that evil does not somehow exist or is somehow limited is a BIG mistake. It is forever with us. This erroneous thinking gives truth and added emphasis to phrases like -- "History repeats itself." And -- "We never seem to learn from the past." Evil has one single rule it goes by and that is -- Evil has no rules. There is no limit to Evil. The depths of it come straight from hell itself.
So, when someone says there is a plan to exterminate 95% of the world's population, don't shrug it off because it doesn't fit one's preconceived notion of what evil is suppose to be..... Heed the message and believe the real possibility of it. If you read an expert virologist or epidemiologist stating the mRNA injection will kill 50 million people, don't discard the message because it doesn't fit your belief of evil. Don't believe there are checks and balances in government or God Himself that would not permit such a thing to occur. This is your attempt to rationalize it to explain away the strange anomaly. Instead heed the message and believe it can occur. In fact, it most likely will occur.
The Covid 'Shock' Measures with the lock-down and the insanity of continuing contradictions is a good example Evil is widespread. It is NO COINCIDENCE that the Covid ‘Shock’ Measures fit perfectly with the Biderman Report of 1956 on Torture Techniques used by the Chinese and North Koreans on captured servicemen to make them psychological as well as physical prisoners. These are coercive brainwashing techniques for compliance and are a Crime Against Humanity.....................Yes, it is that bad and if we don't stand up to resist it, it will get much worse.
I am with you 100% and you articulate the reality of everything so well. I too am aghast at the depths of evil. Just when I think I have seen, read, or heard it all, even worse atrocities are uncovered.
The only thing I would add is that so many people connect the present evil (or past evil) with a God who cannot possibly be perfect love and that somehow He actually is responsible for the continuing of all this evil. Accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and understanding the nature of God and the depth of His love is the only truth that helps us to endure these horrors. "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world" is a truth we must hold on to.
Amazing Polly is such a great source for relevant information and she pretty much tells it like it is. I always enjoy your comments...and I can tell we are on the same page with a lot of our understanding about the world and what is happening. I always say "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst" and that includes our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of lives. We were never promised a rose garden and even if we were, we couldn't avoid the thorns. God bless you and yours.
Thanks. Even though "We were never promised a rose garden", there are incredible solutions being hidden from us, and to which we are being misled. It's just another evil aspect dominating this world. If you get a chance to go to the Back to Eden Farming website (backtoedenfilm.com), watch the video there. It's extraordinary. Many years ago I learned from this man and saw what God revealed to him. The key to understanding the holy Spirit and pleasing Him is doing things in accordance to His Nature's laws.
I have the "Back to Eden" books...somewhere. I always tried to do everything organic or natural. My favorite gardening trick (Ruth Stout) was to cover the garden with mulch hay to cut down on weeding and it works terrifically. Keeps the plants cool and doesn't allow the weeds to grow. I will look at the video...thanks.
Watched the video and it was informative and inspiring. I haven't gardened in years but that sure made me dream of delicious, healthy food from the garden and I loved the naturalness of his approach ...inspired by God. Thanks for sharing.
