Ilive in central Indiana.

You can dig a hole about anywhere and have a pond if you go down about 10 feet.

They may be intelligent but they have no wisdom at all.

I think you nailed it.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
(Proverbs 1:7)

People reject the Lord's truth and wisdom. After that they are easily deceived by the Enemy.

Proverbs 4:4-10:

β€œHe taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.”

I worked with a lot of smart people at that church organization

Couldn’t read the signs of the times for anything

They embraced liberal doctrines

They often rejected fundamentalist ways and readings

They often embraced liberal agendas and people like Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama

They rejected Scripture and virtually never mentioned it in company church meetings

My effeminate boss really hated me

And there is a hatred of the spirit of the Lord in you.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16:

15 “For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?”

I saw a couple get animated, physical, especially when I mentioned Scriptures.

And yes my effeminate boss.

I was being cancelled. And still experiencing it.
