Virtual Thanksgiving
Myself | Nov 17, 2020 | William of Barsoom

Posted on 11/17/2020 5:27:03 AM PST by William of Barsoom

We have a few relatives that have been frightened by the idiot media to the point they are afraid to travel here for Thanksgiving -- the grandchildren don't want to "kill us with Corona-19" by "carrying" the infection into our home. (We are retired.)

They are so indoctrinated we can't get anywhere with them.

But, we had an idea. This Thanksgiving we're going to call everyone -- everyone -- that we wish could be with us, and sit at our table. When we started to compile the list, it's quite long, and it would be the Greatest Thanksgiving Of All Time -- IF we could even host so many friends and relatives, and get 'em all to come on the same day.

A phone call is a cheap substitute for a true Thanksgiving feast and observance -- but rather than curse the darkness, we'll light this little candle of hope and outreach; and at least let people know we're thinking about them, and giving thanks to God as we pray for this troubled nation that it should find its way back to sanity.

May God bless you and yours, and may He also bless the United States Of America.

Whatever works.

Due to recent surgeries, both my wife and I have been tested (negative.). Our daughter and her husband are first responders and get tested regularly. They are negative.

We will be gathering with some others—also tested regularly due to their jobs.

And yes—we will be breaking all sorts of protocols with the size of our group. But since a few of them are cops—we are not concerned with being “arrested.”

I am all about protecting those with issues. The rest of this is crap.

Dr Fauci has boasted several times that his children love him so much they want to protect “their old dad” and arent going there for Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving is American. Global reset is antithetical to it. That is why. Christmas will be attacked with equal fervor. Stand.

Just make this your annual Christmas as well and do it every year. The greatest Thanksgiving and Christmas every year...just you and your wife and your cell phone!

I’ll stick to having my entire family with me on both occasions.

To each their own.

We can’t do Thanksgiving with family because we don’t have the time to take off, AND, due to crazy assed Massachussetts travel ban that says we have to get covid tested to enter the state.

Whatever ...go ahead. Break down the family even more, you miserable evil people.

It’s time for people to get a grip! This thing is ridiculous. We have been “gathering” with people since May and NOBODY has gotten sick. The PCR test was never designed to diagnose illness and is being used fraudulently to push up “numbers”. A “case” is NOT an illness unless the person has symptoms. This was a fraudulent way of labeling Covid19 to induce fear and control people since the labelling of “cases” began. Remember, in the beginning, they did not call true Covid illnesses “cases”. This came later.

The purpose of the label “case” is also to make people think everyone walking around could be a possible “asymptomatic carrier” and create fear in everyone. towards everyone! A month ago, even Fauci said that that they (virologists) have never really said that people without symptoms could be asymptomatic carriers.

Just take a drive and show up at your grandkids house or houses. Don’t let the government steal your grandkids childhood. Tell your kids you’ll be there. Rebel.

No virtual in our house. Sure open yourself up to hacking, surveillance and eaves dropping on your conversations. No thank you. A quick phone call from our land-line will be enough. Tyranny isn’t it lovely. NOT!

We are planning a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with extended family...no masks, no head counts and no real fear of the virus. I have thought that some critical Karen may knock on the door to admonish us or threaten to all the police (like the cops would enforce this BS). I would tell that Karen to pound sand and use her mask as a suppository

We’re having the whole family over. Should be 20-30 people. Our governor is asking for snitches...and he’s a republican.

We must rebel. It would be terrible to give these commie dictators more encouragement to take over our nation.

I’ve been advising everyone to call their pastor and tell them they will be at the church on Sunday and if the doors aren’t open, to tell him you are going to find a new church.

My church has been open since around June. We meet just about every night plus Saturday and Sunday. We hosted a multi church conference. Masks are optional. Most people don’t wear them. So far we have had no Covid 19 “cases” linked to our church.

These lockdowns are illegal. We must not submit.

It’s time we obeyed God rather than men.

Go to church on Sunday!!!

I’m preaching Sunday. I’ll be honored if someone calls me with that question.
