Wow, thanks.
What a nice thing to say. You just made my day.
To return the favor, I'll tell you a secret I have.
Every time I read your name, I think of Atom Ant. Not the singer, that actual Ant.
Weird, right? My brain works in mysterious ways.

I keep waiting for Christians. ALL Christians, to rise as one and practice civil disobedience. To flock to their churches despite Caesar’s orders.

Reminds me of Exodus. God sent the plagues-and they impacted everyone. The slaves were so indoctrinated they just kept obeying the slave masters. God was attempting to wake them up. In the end, it was the slave owners who insisted they leave—IIRC.
Well, how the heck is that gonna happen with milquetoast leaders who won't open their mouths against the totalitarian crap that's going on?
Then I guess we know the outcome.

‘we have more than we know - the objective is to avoid plan z’
I’ve pondered this - there are a few that are standing up but I think the problem is the same as is otherwise frustrating - people are totally sucked in to the scamdemic.
I was shocked that my daughter and youngest grand daughter were not only ok with masks, but thought they probably did some good. When I disagreed, and said I wouldn’t go shopping at any store that required a mask, my grand daughter said it was unbelievable that I would be so negligent toward others.
Mind you, she’s 16 and daughter is 40 and neither one was wearing a mask in the car for our 1.6 hr. trip. Wish I’d have been awake enough to ask them how come they weren’t protecting the elderly (me).
Regarding a next step—how about prayer groups in the public square? No masks and lots of gospel songs between prayers. Just brainstorming. Like Christmas carols in summer time? Or go to the courthouse and walk around it singing and praying like they did for Jericho?
I ain’t too good a figuring this kinda stuff out. And so far no Devine inspiration is apparent.

You always have good ideas.
You have me wondering about the basis for their reasoning.
From the start, I was appalled that the CDC’s Covid tests were unusable because the experimental “control” was contaminated. I couldn’t believe the CDC had never created test kits before and therefore was incapable of managing this key step. I don’t think the young a) heard of it or b) realized that a professional organization with the CDC’s standing should theoretically be incapable of that sort of error.
I wonder who found that error? Not the CDC, in my opinion. So did the Trump Administration test them?
I once attended a college class as the old person present. None of the 20 something year olds could perform rough calculations in their heads. At one point, one young man blurted out that he felt we old people learned something they hadn’t. So they “need” the MSM to tell them what the numbers are and what mean. Their schools have taught them what valid sources of information are so they screen out what the MSM says to ignore. They aren’t looking for errors in data - they are looking for assurance and help understanding the numbers.
But your family knows you wouldn’t harm anyone. So isn’t suggesting your disregard for others just social conditioning on how to correct others to stay on track? The MSM and Twitter/Instagram have been teaching them how to protect others with shaming that way. Imgur.com used to be fun to read but now it’s an indoctrination center, upper the rage toward non mask wears in increments. Creepy.

I always pronounced it as comm-ala. I guess I was pretty close.

Barr dismissed that idea
“DOJ policy restricts politically charged indictments from occurring within 60 days of an election, or something to that effect.”
saying neither presidential candidate was the object of an investigation.
Praying with you. For us all.
Following the roolz around here, I’m not sayin’ what I’m callin’ it around this casa.
True. Barr did say that neither presidential candidate was the object of an investigation. But indictments of lower level people from the previous administration might still be viewed as politically charged. My guess is they would still try to comply with the 60 day rule to avoid the accusation of election meddling - not that it will stop the dems from trying to make the argument anyway.
I'm all for this. We have a group meeting to praise and worship in a city park. It's 40 miles from home but I'm going. No masks.

Creepy is right. I just told the 16 year old-Don’t be such a Karen. At least I got some laughs out of that.
Hey - that’s great—hope it catches on all over the USA.
MBS is stamping out the final threat to his rule

Biden & Ho walked out onto the stage with their masks on ... then promptly took them off. Begging the question why they bothered wearing them out at all except for show.
They put them back on when they left the stage. One would assume the backstage area is full of security, staff and other such cling-ons.

I have seen a few displays of that, but not in the numbers sufficient to send a message and back Caesar down.
Have modern Christians lost their way or are my expectations too high? I could swear it used to be different back in the day.
I agree with you Bags. I'm frustrated about this. I looked for a local church bucking the system for the 4 weeks we were told to stay away. I was not happy with my church. Made the suggestion we just meet outside. No dice.
I have an opinion on the reason this isn't happening and hubby agrees with me. I think it's because the vast majority of Christians in this country grew up with the comfort and assurance of church and their salvation. Most Christians in the USA don't know what it's like to live a life without Christ, or at least without their secure church family. Part of that upbringing teaches to be good people, follow all the rules, don't break the law, etc. Just the thing that prohibits the church from rising up now.
I did not grow up as a Christian. I did not meet and accept Christ until age 30. It changed my life. Radically. The person I was before Christ is realistically dead to me. I have a past that I never want to live again. I also don't want to see another person live through the same experiences I've lived through. This is not the experience of most Christians in the USA. It isn't my husband's experience. He was a good little church boy.
Hubby and I have talked this thru in many applications over the years. The fact that accepting Christ as Saviour made a tangible difference in all aspects of my life colors my decisions in many ways. I am willing, even excited, to push the envelope to rebel against status quo to further good in the world. I know good change can happen, it's not philosophical theory to me. If we don't act, how can we be an agent for change?
in this whole chicom virus attack I can say that one positive has happened. My husband is finally coming around to my point about taking action as the Body of Christ in the way you describe. I wanted to drive 500 miles to an "illegal" church service the first week. Got shut down on that but a terrific thing happened, he decided it was time to invite some people to have prayer and Bible study on our property. We live in the boonies. Only a couple people ever showed up but at least hubby gets it now.
Stuff's happening among us Christians. Too slow for my taste, but I'm impatient by nature. I wish I was in California to go to one of those beach or WalMart services but we each have to work where we are. It would tickle me pink to be able to jump on my bike and ride 1000 miles to attend one of those services but my body won't cooperate for that many miles. But I do know we've got at least one FreeQ who is participating. I am 100% sure they'd love you to be there too!
Man, I'm always cleaning up after you! You are right...the rule about no indictments is only if the case is to circumvent a political figure. To stymie them. To put a hitch in their git-a-long. To be the monkey wrench in their operation. In other Trumpish words, to totally f*ck with them!
