I think the preacher was basically right.
Today there are fewer and fewer people with the ability to discern, use critical thinking and use common sense.
I’m starting to believe it more and more myself. But it has taken a whole lifetime for my eyes to be opened. Many will never be able to even consider the possibility that everyone on TV has sold their soul, because t’s simply too depressing, beyond just being sensational. That’s why my mind was closed to the possibility all those years ago.
But I’ve not only seen my heroes slowly expose themselves over the years, I’ve come across a few other (now online) preachers that have slowly started to convince me of the same sad possible truth. You have to be really careful about listening to online preachers, as most are false prophets, of course. But there are a few that have simple humble presences, who often have many small facts about the dark secrets of our supposed heroes that are worth knowing. I was listening to this podcast this morning. If you have a moment, just carefully listen to the first few minutes, which has a wealth of information. It’s Scott Johnson commenting on a Hugo Talks video.

Sorry if this is a bridge too far for you, or others that may read this post, because I understand, as it was for me at one time too. I can only actually handle this particular site in small doses, because it can shatter your worldview. But if you go out and independently confirm what he, and a few others like him say, it’s almost always correct. And it’s things the politicians and world leaders don’t want us to know. Unfortunately there’s very few places you can go anymore to find this level of what is probably the actual truth. Probably because it hurts, as the hard truth often can.
