I am reading "Millennium" by Tom Holland. It is about the end of the 1st millennium A.D. The parallels to this current millennium are mind blowing. I have begun to wonder if this isn't some kind of weird catharsis that is deeply ingrained in the human psychology. Yes, our churches have failed us. But, if you believe that you are part of the body that makes the church, then the logical conclusion I draw is that we have failed each other. Growth and renewal seem to be where we go next assuming we defeat the control mechanisms those haters of truth, goodness, and beauty wish desperately to impose upon us.

people have survived so much. The plague, the many wars, religious wars, Hitler, Stalin, etc. and still do every day. We will survive too. People are like ants I guess. Very hard to destroy LOL

Agreed completely! The "royalty" are really just thugs, just like their ancestors. They used religion to give themselves legitimacy. A few experienced genuine conversion. Yes, we are strong! We have always had to be in order to survive all of these mechanisms of control!

Grace I love your thoughts. I only disagree that we failed each other. I think the body of Christ took its toughest blow en masse. And, I find real believers to be stronger and more aware than ever.

I think we will need big shoulders for some time. When the reality of the gene therapy outcomes is fully understood, it’s going to be very mental.

Thanks for your feedback, Kevin. My conclusion was based on the plethora of personal testimonies I viewed or read from vaccine injured individuals and those who chose not to jab and who have suffered loss of family and friendship because they did not inject. None of these responses seem normal and it seems like many who believed the narrative truly became traumatized and have become insular in order to protect their own psychological resources. The fact that churches closed suggests to me a lack of faith in the divine and this is the last thing one would anticipate from those who profess the Word. Historically, during pandemics and times of war, men of the collar stood in the breech. Not so much lately. Worse still, they, too, were afraid to speak. I fully agree with you about needing big shoulders. I, personally, am so very grateful to have been amongst those who have been made stronger. It has been a gift, indeed.
