--- Quote from: octoberose on August 27, 2021, 02:20:49 AM --- As far as the other more sensitive no politics policy, what I truly think is it's going to be harder and harder to enforce it and have the group have any way to be a source of help in a time of turmoil. If we're heading toward the end of this era, we're going to be going through a lot and you can call it all political even though it's actually spiritual. It's not about D or R in the U.S. or the policies of your prime minister, it's how are you going to navigate a life that is on the verge of financial ruin because you're country just torpedoed your civil rights and your freedoms? How do you concentrate on spiritual freedom in the midst of tyranny ? I have a feeling we might find out.

I get why talking about politics is discouraged, especially since things can get heated. But, i agree with your sentiment. Times are changing, and the places we have to come together to discuss with like-minded brethren are becoming few and far between. There's so much censorship now, many people's YouTube channels, webpages, facebook groups, etc have been terminated/blocked/banned. I think things will only get worse, as they move to tie in vaccination status with a social credit score system, digital currency and not being able to buy or sell, etc without it.

We need to stay away from the COVID topic from now on. We're not going to change anyone's opinion at this point.

I guess i'm done here then. Best of luck to everyone in the coming months.

Romans 8: 35, 37
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it (Proverbs 4:23,
It has been my experience that by focusing on all that is true and worthy in the sight of our Lord is where true peace and contentment is found. You will never find those by constantly focusing on what is going on in this world. Jesus told us he leaves with us his peace and not as the world offers it. All the world can offer any of us is fear. Fear is one of the most powerful weapons Satan uses to seperate us from this place of peace. Seperating many, even from the love of God by using God's own words to deceive. The hell doctrin is a good example.
Philippians 4
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Everything going on in this world is as God has planned, and nothing we do in opposition will change it. Either we trust in him in all things or we don't, but trying to fight against him will bring nothing but hopelessness and despair. Our redemption is near and we should be rejoicing in that.

Here is a small something to consider while we await our redemption with patience and faith.
How great a scientist is our loving God.

The Weight of the Wind
“For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.” (Job 28:24-25)
It was only discovered by scientists in modern times that the air actually has weight. This passage in Job, however, written 35 or more centuries ago, indicated that the two great terrestrial fluids of air and water forming Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere are both “weighed” by God’s careful “measure” to provide the right worldwide balance of forces for life on Earth.
Another remarkable “weighing” act of God is noted in Job 37:16: “Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?” Clouds are composed of liquid drops of water, not water vapor, and water is heavier than air, so how are they “balanced” in the sky? “For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly” (Job 36:27-28).
Meteorologists know that the weight of the small water droplets in the clouds is “balanced” by the “weight of the winds”—air rushing upward in response to temperature changes. Eventually, however, the droplets coalesce to form larger drops that overcome these updrafts and fall as rain. “By watering he wearieth the thick cloud” (Job 37:11). The coalescence is probably triggered electrically in the clouds themselves, “when he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder” (Job 28:26).
Although these verses are not couched in the jargon of modern science, they are thoroughly scientific and up to date. “Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?” (Job 26:14). HMM
