Odd, isn’t it?
Thanks for the ping!
Clearly,
just another sign . . .
Jesus is coming soon!
[slightly fingers in cheek]
You’re an ‘old timer’ around town . . .
What’s your guesstimate about what percentage of FREEPERS are REALLY awake regarding such issues as the OP presents?
Christians understand that man is inherently sinful, therefore our natural inclination will always be toward sin. It is because of this, and this fact is demonstrated throughout history, that whenever these macabre practices begin they always descend rapidly into the abyss.
Look at abortion, it was originally billed as some sort of "last resort" to save a life, now it is the most common surgical procedure (performed EVERY 24 SECONDS) and the leading cause of death (killing as many people as heart disease, lung disease, cancer and strokes COMBINED) in the United States.
Perhaps, although I suspect that the herald would involve someone far more important than I.
I haven't been around as long as A-G, nor am I as wise, but if I had to guess I would say that no more than 10% of FReepers are truly aware of the dangerous hold that Satan has on society.
I wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole.
Possibly this article should be posted for all to discuss:
American Psychiatric Associations New Diagnostic Mental Health Manuel Makes Normal Human Emotion a Mental Health Disorder
A disturbing situation is brewing and if we all don’t act now we may find our daily lives must include a form of neuroleptic drugs. This according to the new DSM-5.
DSM-5 link http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/02/09/uk-mental-illness-diagnosis-idUKTRE81825O20120209
snip
Another change in the manual puts normal emotions and reactions we display at risk of being interpreted as a mental health disorder. Grieving for a loved one is now to be evaluated by the emotions displayed and not by the underlying reason for those emotions.
In essence only our tears, heartache, grief and loss are to be evaluated minus the under lying reason for those feelings, the loss of a loved one. Therefor placing the natural grief process into a neat little mental health disorder that is to be treated with drugs.
Please, educate yourself on this issue. Read about the changes to the new DSM here and here and sign the petition to stop the madness.

I know I ignored the headline, but yes there are bigger and harder issues around this context.
I was mainly commenting on the -way- that certain issues are discussed— or indeed never actually discussed— here at FR.
I cannot know how my fellow Freepers prioritize information they receive on this forum. But I am grateful they are exposed to it.
On the bright side, most Freepers are Christian and this forum is pro-God, pro-life, etc.
On the dim side, when push comes to shove in the never-ending debates - people often behave as if they don't really take God seriously.
Far too many people seem obsessed with issues that always have a way of working themselves out, yet evil advances unrecognized and unabated.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
Only now . . . it seems they start in the lower reaches of hell and rapidly go lower.
And we ain’t seen nuthin yet.
This country is slated to serve aborted babies as food . . . and to encourage folks to help their dying loved ones to die a little faster so they can have a meal.
Oh, I don’t know about that.
If God can use me, He can certainly use you!
LOL.
I’m quite concerned that you are likely right.
And some say it’s only 5%.
Sigh.
I thought so, A-G. However, please avoid blaming me for trying to catch you half asleep.
Besides . . . why withhold your wisdom on such a crucial topic.
If you being candid about that would wake up several dozen or several thousand or even a few . . . which I think it would.
WOULD IT NOT BE A GODLY WORTH THE RISK?
Fear of man is a trap. And I don’t believe you usually fall for that sin.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
I *think* I know you well enough to mostly understand your values and priorities within some limits of my comprehension and paying attention.
However, sometimes, it seems like you are soooo careful to adhere strictly to what’s 110% PROVEN
and to avoid offense wherever possible—or almost—I sometimes wonder if you miss some
fairly crucial
calls to
Stand tall and fiercely on the side of the stark truth and righteousness in the fray of values and rapidly descending socio-cultural-spiritual priorities.
FR and the Republic are increasingly at hazard because too many people have soft-peddled or ignored wholesale too much of the truth about our descent into the END TIMES hells of the satanic globalist engineered realities.
You are a social star on FR. You have tremendous respect and clout in the field of ideas. Sometimes it seems like you muzzle that clout or leave it in the closet. I have a hard time understanding that.
Of course you don’t need to be as off the wall as Quix. There’s a wide range between where you typically are and THAT shrill state.
However, neither do you have to be mostly wholesale silent on so many critical issues so much of the time. imho, of course.
Please take all this as a loving and even kind exhortation and not a combative one. I deeply care about you, about FR and about our Republic.
I want you, on Heaven’s side, to be able to note to yourself and God, that you did more or less all you could do in behalf of Truth and Righteousness.
OK already yet. I’ll shut up . . . for a few minutes.
LOL.
:)
Well put. That's one of my abiding griefs on FR.
Satan is very skillful at fostering even authentic Christians to focus on RELATIVE inconsequentials to the wholesale ignoring of far higher priorities.
Sigh.
Thx thx
Yep, she has far more appeal than cretins like me and you! :-)
