Is That a City Burning Over There on the Horizon?

I got nothing done today, and I’m loving it. Instead of painting the kitchen or putting a new oil seal in the tractor’s front axle, I put the family in the car, and we went for lunch and supplies.

The weather is bearable now. The heat has abated, and the rains have tapered off. It’s beautiful here. Even better, we have a new Captain D’s and a Restaurant Depot.

Captain D’s is basically the same as Long John Silver’s. Fish fried in near-tempura batter, served with fries. In other words, fish and chips.

The only local LJ’s is a long way off, and it seems to be making long, slow circles around the drain, so I was very happy when Captain D’s came to town.

Restaurant Depot is a food service company. A grocery store for restaurants. They sell big packages of restaurant-grade food at wholesale prices.

Restaurant Depot is a godsend if you want to make real pizza. They have every flour known to humanity, they carry Stanislaus and Escalon tomato products, and they sell decent mozzarella, which is more than you can say for nearly all grocery stores.

You’re not supposed to shop at Restaurant Depot unless you run a business, but they will let you in for a day if you’re a mere mortal. You won’t have access to alcohol, and there are other perks you won’t get, but you can buy most products at the same prices chefs pay.

Yesterday I found out anyone with a federal EIN could get a Restaurant Depot card, so I decided I needed to become a member. I took care of that today. I feel superior to other people now.

Captain D’s was shocking. Most restaurants here are dirty, and the employees tend to be incompetent. Captain D’s was spotless. The staff was well-groomed, courteous, and efficient. The food was exactly what it was supposed to be. No excuses. The tartar sauce and ketchup were a little subpar, but you’re supposed to use malt vinegar at Captain D’s.

I guess some people would make fun of me for getting excited about fast food, but then the world is full of idiots. A really good burger with fries is just as good as the black cod at Nobu or the pate at Picasso. It’s just a different cuisine.

Any restaurant that does a top-notch job providing tasty food is a good restaurant, and a really good Five Guys is better than a mediocre haute cuisine joint.

I like restaurateurs that do a great job, whether they serve wagyu or food-truck tacos.

Captain D’s is the Chick-fil-A of fish and chips.

Yesterday I ate at a restaurant that put canned green peppers and canned onions on a pizza, so I was ready for some redemption.

I love Restaurant Depot. They really cut through the grocery-store BS.

Huge bag of shelled pistachios: $8. Gallon can of pomace oil: $17. Good mozzarella: $2 per pound.

Best of all for today: 50 pounds of beef tallow for $68. This is about what 40 pounds of peanut oil cost at the grocery, and peanut oil is vastly inferior.

Beef tallow makes crisper fries that taste much better, and that’s why McDonald’s used to use it. It’s perfect for frying chicken, which is why KFC used it for decades before women and vegetarians made them cave in and use rape oil.

I looked at tallow last year, and I saw prices like $150. I was going to spring for it eventually. I like $68 much better, and at Restaurant Depot, I get an extra 10 pounds for the kitchen or my wife’s skin care. Or my baby’s butt.

This is great.

It seems unfair for life to be this sweet while everyone else is gearing up for an unnecessary civil war.

How Can This be a Good Deal for God?

I had a disturbing revelation during the night.

I often wake up at night and spend hours praying. I can’t get back to sleep. God confronts me with things about myself that need to be corrected. Sometimes it’s very unpleasant, but I look forward to it, because I want to be right. That’s just common sense. No one wants to continue being wrong and causing problems for himself and others.

Well. Many people do, actually. Most, I suppose.

Last night, I thought about the blood of Yeshua.

I have the cutest baby son you could ever hope to meet. He is funny. He adores his parents. He loves being hugged and played with. He puts his lips on us and makes hilarious noises. He tries to be a good boy; we can tell by watching him.

A large amount of our time is devoted to showing him love. He gets squeezed and kissed all day. I don’t know how we could love him more. The thought of anything bad happening to him is unbearable to me.

Abraham loved his son, too, and like me, he waited a long time for him. His rebellious wife was disobedient to God and persuaded him to have a troublesome son by a concubine, but the son of promise came later.

God told him to hold his beautiful, cherished son down, slit his throat, and watch him die. Abraham tried to do it, although his heart must have been bursting inside him.

Yahweh went farther than Abraham.

He had one son. Only one. He was perfect. He was full of love. He adored his father. He loved his earthly father. He was completely innocent, even in his thirties. Then God had him tortured to death, slowly, so his blood could be used to wash his enemies.

God loved his enemies–us–so much, he put himself and his son through that.

I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t cut the tip of my son’s finger. I would much rather cut myself. If he were killed, and someone collected his blood, I wouldn’t be able to stand the sight of it. I would want to die.

Here I am, however, continually claiming to be washed in the blood of God’s son, whom God loves more than I love mine.

That is really something. It shows what a serious thing it is when we claim the blood. It also shows how precious it is. We should never speak about it carelessly. It’s a person’s blood, taken by violence for which we are responsible, provided to us by that person’s adoring father.

I kept hearing a phrase during the night: “I am expensive.”

That is putting it very mildly. Imagine how expensive I am, if God traded the life, flesh, and blood of his only son so he could have me. It’s incomprehensible.

God calls his human children a pearl of great price, worth everything he has. He is serious. He paid all he had.

You can be expensive, too, if you want.

In other news, I am done with The Last Reformation. It seems to have deteriorated consistently over the last few years. It’s all Torben this and TLR doctrine that. It’s not what it used to be.

If you look at TLR’s video history, you will see that they used to heal and baptize people. Now, the focus has shifted. “Go on trips with us.” Explanations of doctrine that may be flawed. Complaints about Torben’s enemies and his imprisonment and deportation.

Here’s something important to know: anyone who lacks current testimony and revelation is having problems in his relationship with God. God never stops teaching us and doing remarkable things in our lives.

A lack of testimony is one of the hallmarks of a dead ministry. When you go to a typical church, the preacher gives testimony, but it’s not his. It may be the testimony of people he read about recently. It may be made-up testimony other preachers have been passing around, not knowing it’s fiction. In what may be the worst cases, it may be the testimony of people who lived 2,000 years ago.

Properly, “testimony” means “eyewitness testimony.” If you share your buddy’s testimony, it’s hearsay. It wouldn’t be admissible in a court of law. You’re not a witness. You’re just someone who heard a story.

TLR’s videos used to be full of evidence of the activity of God. Healing and deliverance, mainly. This isn’t true any more. It’s mostly talk, advertising, and teaching of questionable value.

I’ve been to TLR events in St. Petersburg, Raleigh, and Tennessee. I didn’t drive long distances so I could see Torben Sondergaard or learn how to use TLR’s special salvation cards. I didn’t make those trips so I could join their school and live in a dormitory with strangers, as though I were a child in boarding school. I wanted to get closer to God and have him move through me, and I thought they could help.

I met some nice people through TLR, but they were not insiders. I did not see any extraordinary healings. I participated in one deliverance. I had some useful experiences. But the ministry got stuck in a rut, and it is still there.

This is typical of my experience. I find a ministry I like. I involve myself to some extent. I get some good things out of it. I notice that the people who are heavily involved seem to be less blessed than I am, and that they are bogged down in their walks. No one listens when I try to help. I am seen as a problem. The ministry deteriorates. I let it go and move on.

This must be why God doesn’t send me to church. Churches are invariably run by preachers who know less about God than I do and who expect me to regress back to their levels. They can’t tolerate any revelation that didn’t come through them or their revered mentors and forebears. Revelation can’t come through nobodies like me; it has to come through people they know or who were powerful in their denominations. My job is to shut up and accept false correction, and I’m supposed to repent and apologize for actual revelation. Who am I to contradict a guy who has a jet, or even a guy who hangs around with a more successful guy who has a jet?

I’ll say it again: if God speaks to everyone in a church, which is what’s supposed to happen, Satan can’t do much to ruin things. He is weak and limited, so he can’t go after hundreds of Spirit-informed people simultaneously with any chance of success. In a personality cult, which means nearly any church, all he has to do is corrupt the pastor, and then the pastor corrupts everyone else, which is easy, because he hasn’t introduced them to the Holy Spirit. Instead, he introduced them to himself; an ambitious guy who likes telling others what to do.

Who did Satan use most effectively to keep ancient Jews from recognizing Yeshua and becoming blessed and saved? Whores and pagans? No! Priests and scribes. Satan won them over, and they corrupted Jews who thought they spoke for God, and that was the majority.

“I’ve been on 10 trips with Daniel Kolenda.” “I carried Kenneth Hagin’s briefcase.” People attach themselves to preachers and brag about how close they are or were. Many Christians feel that if they know famous preachers personally, they are somehow endowed with the authority and righteousness of Yeshua, even if they have never met him.

Satan wants us to worship preachers because it makes his operation work much more efficiently. He has used preacher-worship in his successful campaign to cripple the body of Christ.

Satan can’t corrupt the Holy Spirit, so if you spend sufficient time with the Holy Spirit every day, Satan can’t destroy you the way he has destroyed most self-described Christians.

I have probably spent a grand total of 45 seconds speaking to Torben Sondergaard at his events. I never had any interest in chasing him around to get his approval. I want people to bring me closer to God, not the other way around. Also, I don’t want to be a typical Jesus-buff pastor-pest. I don’t want to be the guy who stomps past people who are in need of help so I can tell the pastor how wonderful he is and get his approval.

A long time ago, I thought Robert Morris knew a few things, so we had a brief email correspondence. I wanted to learn more. I ended up asking him about a claim he had made that appeared to be wrong, and that was the last I heard from him. Now look what has happened to him. Where would I be if I had made him my guru?

He truly was wrong, by the way, and he should have known it. I think I still have his DVD’s, which I should really throw out.

I must have stirred up his pride, and proud preachers are to be avoided.

I liked Perry Stone because God showed him a lot of things. I never thought he was the new messiah, however. He ended up causing a sex scandal which, due to his dishonest denials and slanderous accusations, damaged his credibility forever.

I never spent significant time carrying anyone’s briefcase, doing his laundry, or helping set up his tent in Africa. I want to hear from God, not preachers.

I like T.B. Joshua, who died in 2021. I like Mark Hemans. I find the BBC’s accusations regarding Joshua to be transparent, debunked, intentional slanders. I haven’t heard anything bad about Hemans. Nonetheless, I don’t assume everything they said or say is correct.

The only problem I have with Joshua is that he had long conversations with people he was delivering. He asked demons all sorts of questions. “What did you do to this woman?” “Why did you do it?” Why would anyone give a platform to a demon? They lie. A demon might be lucky to lie to a thousand people through a person he controls, but put him in front of a popular minister whose videos go all over the world, and he can reach millions.

I believe Hemans gets a little chatty, too.

Here’s a wild proposition: we’re not supposed to let demons teach. Prove me wrong.

On a related note, the rapture has not come, unless I’m such a bad Christian I was rejected.

I saw a lady in a video, claiming her autistic son told her it would happen in September of 2025. She says he told her several true things no human being could know. Christians, who rarely investigate anything, got excited.

It’s the first of October.

Autism is often or perhaps always caused by demons, so this lady was getting supernatural information from a person who was in the grip of evil spirits. And she believed him, and other Christians believed her. That’s weird.

He communicates using a letter board, which is basically a secular Ouija board. It’s supposed to be a spiritually-neutral tool, but there is no reason a demon can’t use it just like a Ouija board.

She may have been making the whole thing up, though. People are contemptible and capable of anything, or, as my mom used to say, “People are no damn good.”

I am going to try to take the blood of Yeshua much more seriously. I already knew what God told me about it, but a revelation from God is somehow much more deeply convincing than common sense or a verse in the Bible.

I hear the baby making flatulence noises and squeaks of joy. I better go love him for a minute.

If You Find This Post Distressing, Blame the Jews

If the rapture doesn’t come soon, I don’t know how Christians will be able to stand living in this world.

Conservatives and Christians are now spewing lies about the Charlie Kirk assassination. Nominal Christians, anyway. No one who listens to the Holy Spirit is fooled by kooky conspiracy theories.

The thing about this that irks me the most is seeing people praise the liars while claiming God’s authority. God didn’t tell you to agree with demonized nuts who say Israel, the FBI, Charlie Kirk’s bodyguards, or anyone other than a Mormon homosexual named Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk.

The chaos is amazing. How are you going to know who to point your AR-15 with Punisher skulls on the magazine at if you can’t even agree on a scapegoat? Are you going to shoot Netanyahu? Are you going to shoot Kash Patel? Figure it out. You’re bringing shame on nutcases everywhere.

I just saw a video by a conservative gun enthusiast. The kind of person who, one would guess, thinks he and his militia buddies are going to fix America for Christ. He and his followers are suggesting the assassination was an inside job because–get this–it looks like some of the bodyguards were wearing AI glasses.

Well. If that’s not proof, I don’t know what is.

They’re saying the people around Kirk were laughing after he got shot. One says Kirk was waving his arm, trying to run things. Another says nobody put pressure on the wound.

Charlie Kirk was shot with a .30-06. The cowardly liberal pervert who shot him used a rifle his grandfather used on deer. The .30-06 is a very powerful round. It’s supposed to blow flesh apart permanently on its way through bodies, causing so much blood loss or other damage the victim is incapacitated as soon as possible.

A hunting round from a .30-06 doesn’t just pass through flesh, leaving a long, thin hole. It tears things up. Hunting rounds are made to expand and/or break up. They’re made to be destructive.

Kirk was shot in the neck, which contains things like the spinal column, spinal cord, jugular veins, trachea, and carotid arteries. These are things we need in order to remain alive and conscious. When the bullet hit him, the flesh around it blew outward around the axis of travel, ripping things up and sending hydrostatic shock into every part of his neck.

He was almost certainly dead as soon as he was struck. They rushed him to a hospital because that’s what you do when someone is shot. They didn’t think he was going to make it. He wasn’t conscious and giving them guidance.

If they didn’t put pressure on the wound, which probably is not true, it would likely indicate they could see he was dead. I’ve seen the footage that supposedly proves there was no pressure, and it is completely impossible to tell whether pressure was applied.

I can’t figure out why anyone would think AI glasses were somehow evidence that Kirk’s team wanted him dead. I’m also amazed that anyone over the age of three seriously thinks these people would have him shot from over a hundred yards, with a cheap surplus rifle with a badly-mounted scope.

The shooter nearly missed. He wasn’t shooting for the side of Kirk’s neck. He was shooting at the center of his chest. No serious assassin takes a risky shot when he can take an easier one. Lying in a prone position, which is the best way to shoot, with plenty of time, Tyler Robinson hit Kirk about 10″ from his most likely point of aim.

The gun used was a poverty gun. Military surplus, made by unmotivated Russian Communists. The scope was mounted badly. It belonged to the killer’s grandfather, who probably paid under a hundred dollars for it before adding a scope and synthetic stock. It was probably something like a 7-MOA gun, meaning it could be counted on to shoot groups about 7″ wide at 100 yards, so more like 10″ at the range at which Kirk was shot. It was not a skilled assassin’s weapon of choice. A $500 AR-15 would have been a lot better.

Check out the deranged comments.

They wanted Charlie dead. He was reaching the youth. He changed people’s hearts and minds. He was a threat to the shadow government!

At this point it is completely obvious that this wasn’t just an assassination, but a professional hit job.

This whole situation smells like a CIA hit. I think the kid who supposedly shot Charlie was a scape goat.

I think he is still alive. It was a setup. Nothing is adding up.

Clear as day they weren’t helping Charlie; but they were tampering with evidence!

The fact that a head of a certain country made 2 videos, within 72 hours, denouncing any knowledge or responsibility in the situation is pretty much the biggest red flag ever!

The guys are smiling because they are activating a secret trapdoor that was under his chair. That blood looked like it was a movie prop burst. I have had a suspicion that he’s alive and that was a dummy that was switched when the security is over him. They handed off a key to that door. Why else are they pouring concrete all around the spot? Israel wanted him dead and so he had to die before they actually killed him.

I rebuke these lies and bind these people to come out with the whole truth.

This assassination is one of the clearest-cut cases of leftist-pervert gun-barrel activism in history. The killer confessed to more than one person. He confessed in writing. His own parents turned him in. He was captured by multiple security cameras. We have the gun. We have the bullet. His dress-wearing XY girlfriend is cooperating with the police.

Even if he had walked up to Kirk in front of the crowd and killed him with a hatchet to the forehead, the demon whisperers would still be spouting their theories.

I want OUT of this place. It was bad enough when everyone on the left was insane. Now the friendlies are wigging out, and they can’t even form a consensus, so I assume they’ll be turning on each other as well as the innocent.

My own relatives have gone nuts.

I remember realizing how unhinged my aunt had become. I was in Singapore at the airport, after a fantastic vacation with my wife, waiting for a flight home. It was after midnight. My aunt called to talk about a property we own in common. I told her it wasn’t a good time because of the circumstances.

She went off on me, demanding to know who goes on vacation in November. She was furious. I couldn’t believe it.

Called me another time about family business, and I told her she needed to start selling things instead of trying to maintain a decaying real estate memorial to my long-forgotten grandparents. She had no idea I was married. Started telling me she had more stuff than I did, as though that excused incompetence. She said I had nothing but “maybe a sorry dog.”

She has apparently forgotten losing her composure and saying nutty, hostile things to me, because the other day, she sent me a text asking if I thought democracy was going to survive. As though we were on cordial terms. I politely declined to discuss it.

I don’t want her in my life as social or even business contact. She is too far gone. I don’t hold onto abusers any more. Blood isn’t really thicker than water. I dream of the day when the last bit of real estate will be sold.

Now she goes on Facebook and posts wacky memes comparing Trump to Hitler and so on.

Hitler sent special trucks around to force Jews to breathe carbon monoxide. He invaded neighboring countries and stole their treasures. He had doctors investigate the cheapest ways to castrate Jewish men and men with mental issues.

Trump is a little different. He’s working to get rid of illegal aliens, bring peace to the world, restore free speech, and make federal laws and regulations sensible. The Hitler analogy is just a bit over the top, except to crazy people who listen to demons all day.

We used to have a great relationship. We laughed and talked together. She was a junior high principal, entrusted with looking after people’s children. Then the apocalypse virus destroyed her sanity.

I have a second cousin about my aunt’s age. Nicest lady you would ever want to meet. At least in the past. Now she’s right in there with my aunt. Check out this masterpiece of delusion she posted on Facebook.

My mother loved her. My other aunts loved her. What happened to her personality? Wait. I know. The Israelis stole her brain and replaced it.

I’ve had it. I want the rapture to come before it gets worse. Maybe you know what I always say: if it’s this crazy now, what will it be like in 6 months?

Last night my wife and I were talking in our big, comfortable bed. Our beautiful, charming, intelligent baby son was lying between us. I started talking about our lives. I started asking if she could even understand how blessed we were. It is something that continually amazes me. God has been so good to us, and I am not good.

We marveled at our situation. Paired up by the Holy Spirit. In strong agreement about nearly everything. Set aside in a peaceful area dominated by conservative Christians who are patient, kind, and full of love, unlike people in Miami or the white ghetto known as Eastern Kentucky. Healthy. Blissfully unemployed. Close to God. Constantly receiving astonishing, helpful Holy Spirit revelation.

On the other hand, all over America, people are going so crazy it’s a wonder they don’t need diapers and spit masks. They are furious at each other over nothing. Leftists are so mad they are quite willing to murder us and our children in the streets, and some conservatives are no better. People live with overwhelming anger and worry, but we are insulated in our cozy little cocoon.

It’s like we’re riding a monorail through Jurassic Park at feeding time!

I don’t know how I would live if I had to be on a quarter of an acre in a blue suburb, or if I were a Jew. Jews need to wake up and move to Israel or far-right counties before it’s too late. Jew-hatred is now treated like a legitimate, acceptable political point of view. It has been mainstreamed.

Candace Owens is getting rich from Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram checks. Youtube and Instagram are run by liberals, and the guy who started Facebook, which owns Instagram, is a Jew! How weird is that?

Anyway, Charlie Kirk was murdered by a lone sodomite, so try not to get worked up by conspiracy theorists.

Until Judgment Day Sorts Out the Weeds

Yesterday was our day of rest. I shudder a little when I hear a Christian call Sunday the sabbath, because “shabbat,” or “sabbath,” is literally the name of Saturday in Hebrew, but anyway, we now rest on Sundays, and we make more effort than usual to be with God.

God told me all my problems, not some, are caused by lack of prayer, so a day dedicated to him will surely improve my life.

God never commanded Gentiles to observe the real sabbath, but the sabbath principle is a helpful one just the same.

A rest day brings people close to God in more than one way. It helps us to sit down and read scripture. It helps us to pray. It helps us to pursue these things as families, building marriages and relationships. Perhaps most importantly, though, it reinforces humility. That’s important because pride is the absolute worst thing a person can have. It’s better to be a humble pedophile who can listen and change than a proud evangelist who isn’t saved and can’t be corrected.

Saturday doesn’t work as well for us. Stores are open later than they are on Sunday, and stores that close on Sunday are open. The Post Office is open. Chick-fil-A is open. There are things a resident of my county can get done on Saturday that are harder to do on Sundays. Also, if God ever tells us to go to church, which he has not, we can add it to our day of rest without shaking anything up.

I have been told that Christians honor God on Sundays because it worked well for the early church. Virtually all believers were Jewish in the beginning, and as Gentiles were brought in, somehow it made more sense to let Jews do their purely-Jewish activities on their sabbath and then come together with them on the first day of the week.

True? I don’t know. Dishonest Christians have made up so many lies, how would I find out? Bad Christians made up the saints and baby baptism. They made up the prosperity gospel. Horrible Christians like Augustine propagated the ethos of polytheistic Greek sodomites in the church. Bad Christians made up all the odd things the Seventh-Day Adventists believe.

For all I know, Joseph Smith thought he was a Christian when he made up Mormonism and claimed an Egyptian writing about preparing the dead for burial was really a biography of Abraham.

When you quit trying to solve your own problems for a day, you are telling God you believe he will work on them for you while you rest, and you are admitting you believe he can do it better than you can. That’s faith plus humility.

At some point during our rest time, we saw a Christian on Youtube, talking about the demonstrable insanity or dishonesty of Candace Owens, who is now calling Israel a “demonic nation” and trying to convince people Israel, not the homosexual activist Tyler Robinson, murdered Charlie Kirk.

After all, Israel has a policy of murdering its American critics, and it makes sense that it started with Charlie Kirk, not Owens, Tucker Carlson, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Al Sharpton, Kanye West, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or Louis Farrakhan.

Owens insists that Robinson, a sexual aberrant Mormon who was in love with a homosexual male crossdresser with whom he shared quarters, is not the actual murderer, and she is suggesting he will be murdered in custody in order to protect the guilty party, who is presumably a mohel or an executive at Manischewitz (perhaps both).

Robinson confessed to his parents and his sex partner, and he did it in writing, not just orally. Owens disagrees, based on what she is hearing from whatever demons she listens to all day in the pursuit of wealth.

Robinson told his father he would rather kill himself than turn himself in. Owens, however, says she knows better. She says he is not suicidal, so if he dies in custody, it will be the work of the same Mossad agent who got Jeffrey Epstein, Nicole Brown Simpson, John Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln.

As we watched the speaker talk, I was impressed by his intelligence and his understanding of Candace Owens. Then he started claiming Charlie Kirk was an evangelist. Right there, I realized he was caught up in a mass delusion of his own.

It is nothing short of amazing that anyone would call Charlie Kirk an evangelist. He was a politician who debated college kids. He occasionally said good things about Yeshua and Christianity; the same could be said of Mike Lindell and most gangster rappers.

He didn’t teach about God. He didn’t receive or relay revelation from the Holy Spirit, which is something every single Christian is supposed to do. He didn’t cast out demons. He didn’t heal anyone. He didn’t have visions. He didn’t have the supernatural testimony common to men of God. He didn’t create a ministry. He created two political organizations that made him very good money and positioned him to run for lucrative political offices later.

Politics was the spare ribs. Christianity was the coleslaw. It’s obvious. It’s not subject to reasonable dispute.

Even Torben Sondergaard, who does cast out demons and heal people, claims Kirk was a some kind of minister. That is disappointing. It’s also disappointing that his ministry, The Last Reformation, got rid of a comment I posted, disagreeing with Torben.

Torben was censored. He was driven out of Denmark and the USA, and he was imprisoned for a very long time. He should be sensitive about censoring others.

The Last Reformation lost its shine for me a while back. It seemed to be turning into a denomination and focusing way too much on Torben. Also, his right-hand man, a Dane named Jón Bjarnastein, was getting pretty uppity.

When I went to be rebaptized by TLR, Jan talked to me as though I were a child who had never opened a Bible. I’m old enough to be his father.

He has serious pride issues. When I took my friend Mike to an event to be baptized, he refused to let TLR do it. He refused because Jón mocked prayer in tongues while he was speaking to the crowd. He made nonsense noises in an effort to be funny.

I guess every Christian will commit blasphemy a few times before he dies, and it’s usually unintentional, but what Jón did was pretty disturbing, and a man in his position should know better. Mike flat-out said he would not let TLR put him under. We went back to my hotel, and I baptized him.

For a long time, I’ve had the feeling Torben was giving himself to ambition, and when a man who leads an organization becomes ambitious, carnal people will attach themselves to him to “help” him.

This is how Torben got in trouble in Denmark. A TV network offered to film him, and he thought it would help his ministry. He entered into an unequal yoking, they stabbed him in the back, and he and his ministry were slandered so powerfully the public rose up against him in outrage.

Never listen when someone who doesn’t believe in Yeshua says he’s here to help your ministry.

I went to another event by myself, and another young associate talked to me as though I were stupid. For example, out of nowhere, he told me I didn’t have to have Torben himself pray for me, as though I had shown up and refused to talk to anyone else. I have spoken to Torben briefly, but I never chased him around or felt I needed to interact with him personally. I never even sought to be near him in a group. I was there to be with God, not Torben Sondergaard. I didn’t ask him to sign my Bible. I didn’t buy a bobblehead.

I felt unwelcome. Like an outsider.

I always try to be humble when I talk to people in ministry, as long as they’re serious people who seem to be on the right track, but I am used to them responding to humility the same way worldly people with a little authority do. I am used to impatience, condescension, and imperiousness. I am used to resentment and flashes of irritation and even anger. It’s funny how these things are seen as normal among ministers.

Give someone his own desk, a yellow vest, or a name tag, and chances are, he will immediately become the supreme authority of Earth.

This may sound awful, but I don’t care, so here goes. I was disturbed to find out Torben’s wife had a nervous breakdown, went to doctors, and was put on drugs while he was in prison.

“You’re criticizing a woman who was upset because her husband was in prison!” No, my fine troll; of course I’m not. I’m surprised that a Spirit-filled Christian with a powerful ministry could have severe mental issues that had to be addressed with drugs. I’m also surprised that it was concealed for so long.

For me, one of the biggest benefits of spending time with the Holy Spirit is good mental health. I don’t always receive healing for my physical issues, but I can’t say that about things like depression, anxiety, and so on. Those things are defeated, and they have been for a long time. I just assume that anyone who spends a lot of time with God will be protected from them.

I can be depressed for maybe three days. That’s it. And it has to be related to something bad that has just happened. Chronic depression, which is a real mental problem, not an acute response to misfortune, is different. It makes you feel bad for no good reason, and it doesn’t go away.

I always say I was depressed continually for the first three decades of my life. I guess I was actually 35 when it ended, so three and a half years. It hasn’t come back. It’s a major change. The most remarkable and lasting personality change I have ever experienced.

I just assume that people who are with God a lot of the day are not depressed or insane. I don’t see how depression or insanity could happen to them. I don’t think I’m wrong. God promises us peace.

I believe that if your prayer life is strong and you are fighting demons and repenting, your mind will be sound. I haven’t been proven wrong yet.

I don’t think becoming a cessationist Baptist will fix your problems. Christianity is supernatural. It’s not a system of rules. It’s a relationship with a supernatural person. But surely the Holy Spirit helps those who spend time with him.

She had to be treated with dangerous drugs, and as far as I know, the problem was concealed at first. I’m on their email list, and I didn’t hear about it until it had already happened. At least I don’t think so. I can go back and check, but I don’t think I ever received an email that said, “Lene is experiencing mental torment. Pray God delivers her so we don’t have to involve secular doctors.”

When I was being treated for ADD, they gave me depression drugs because they were believed to be effective for ADD as well. I wouldn’t wish them on Hamas. They actually made me depressed. They also made it impossible for me to eat, sleep, relax, or concentrate.

The worst drug was Prozac. Somehow, my doctor got it into her head that it could help. I took it very briefly. I had all the symptoms I mentioned above, and it made my private parts numb. I’m sure you wanted to know about that.

When I quit taking it, the effects took about two months to wear off. Unbelievable. No wonder people who are being treated for depression commit suicide or shoot into crowds.

I never felt like harming anyone, including myself, thank God. Please don’t send the padded bus for me. I have never, ever felt suicidal in my life. Murdering people has never crossed my mind. It’s foreign to me, like wanting to eat liver or listen to Alanis Morrissette. Not my thing.

They did give me one drug that made me confrontational and obnoxious. I found it useful when I needed to be confrontational, but it didn’t help with ADD. It was a bad experience.

Psychiatric drugs have a scary history. They should be tools of last resort. Even caffeine is bad.

If a minister has mental problems, hiding it is the worst possible thing to do. When it finally comes out a) it will make people question God, and b) it will make people doubt the ministry, correctly. They will wonder what else is being hidden from them.

It will also prevent people from praying for the afflicted minister, and it will prevent them from offering advice and correction that could save the day.

You don’t become incapacitated by depression because you’re doing everything perfectly. I believe every mental problem has a solution in God. Who would argue with that? If God isn’t willing to fix every mental problem, why do you think so highly of him and boast that he works miracles?

I suspect they kept the news quiet because it would have made TLR look ineffective. Surely it couldn’t have been to save her embarrassment. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. I think most Christians are eager to admit it when they are down and need prayer.

It did make TLR look ineffective, though, and keeping it quiet made TLR look dishonest.

Now I can expect trolls to pop up and accuse me of picking on a sick woman. Trolls gonna troll. Keep your gaslighting. It just encourages me. Satan is the slanderer, and his nominal-Christian children never miss a chance to be like dad.

I enjoyed dealing with TLR, and they did a lot of good, but I don’t think TLR is the final answer or the last reformation. For one thing, they taught that we should baptize in the name of Yeshua only, which is odd. The Bible doesn’t say that.

Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

How can anyone miss something that obvious?

To get back to troll-harvesting, I want to write about a conversation my wife and I had. We discussed the numbers obsession many Christians have. Anyone who “saves” 80,000 people at an event is a great man of God, say the quantity-pushers. Anyone who criticizes such people is self-righteous. They’re wrong.

A lot of the quantity gospel depends on the myth of eternal security, which says that if you go to one altar call, you are saved for eternity regardless of what you do later. It’s like you’re a calf, and when you go stand in front of Eddie Long or Jimmy Swaggart for a couple of minutes, Yeshua puts a tag in your ear, and after that, nothing can separate you.

It’s not just a lie; it’s a blatant lie.

Eternal security people love to quote the scripture where Yeshua said no one could take his sheep out of his hand. The problem is that he never said we could not leave of our own free will. We can.

You can raise your hand and cry, leave church, get back in your car, go home, smoke two blunts, and have a threesome with your girlfriend and her sister. You can continue your work as a pimp. You can continue robbing houses. You can even keep your voodoo paraphernalia and continue sacrificing chickens and declaring your love for Bondye or whatever other evil spirit you like.

Do you seriously think you can’t go to hell if you do things like that? Seriously? Really?

Many, many Christians live this way. It’s SOP for American charismatics. My last two churches used to put pregnant trollops on the stage to sing. Trinity Church in Miami had a known car thief on the music team, and he drowned running from the police in handcuffs.

Did he repent and receive new salvation while he was drowning in a canal on Miami Beach? Well, one would like to think so. But based on what his pastors taught him (if he believed at all), he probably thought he would wake up in heaven regardless.

You don’t have eternal security unless you keep living right. I don’t mean obeying rules perfectly, but you have to be with God a lot and have a holy lifestyle, separated from the world.

Salvation is not an event. It’s a way of life.

Because ignorant big-tent Christians love numbers, they love anyone who draws them.

These are the same people who say Mormons are cool because they say Yeshua is their savior. They’re not cool. They’re not Christians. They’re heretics.

I used to work as a volunteer for Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Sr. In around 2012, he came up with a numbers game for us. He called it “the 2020 Vision.” We were given salvation cards. Every time we saw a person get “saved,” we were supposed to fill out a card. Name and date and so on.

The goal was to get a certain number of “souls” by 2020. I think the real goal was to build a huge mailing list without paying an outside company.

Of course, like all Wilkerson projects, the 2020 Vision was plagiarized and came to nothing. He did’t tell us, but I Googled, and the web was full of “2020 Vision” crusades from other preachers, going back years.

One of the big problems with the 2020 Vision is that even if we had seriously tried to “save” people, there was no mechanism for guiding them afterward. Go home, have sex with every girl in the hood, keep trying to become a famous gangster rapper, steal cars…it’s okay, as long as Rich has your card.

I can’t even guess how many present and former Trinity members are on the way to hell, confident that one altar call justified every rotten thing they would ever do.

I mention the 2020 Vision farce in order to show the problem with the numbers people. They prefer hundreds of thousands of fake salvations to a few real salvations.

As my wife and I discussed this, we talked about Yeshua and how different his policy was.

He never talked to a really big crowd. He got 3,000 once, if I recall. Most people he talked to abandoned him. He said things that were very harsh, all the time. He said things he knew would offend people and reduce his stats. He ended up with 11 close followers and a total of 120 in the Upper Room, after around three years of work and thousands of miracles.

He never watered down his message in hopes he would be popular, even though he knew that people who rejected him would burn forever.

My wife and I talked about the way we got together.

Someone I knew had all sorts of online women from dating sites. He kept telling me I should try it. I was okay with dying single, but I tried it anyway. Within about 4 months, I was engaged, and I was married within about 7. My wife and I get along beautifully. We have never had a serious marital problem. We agree and agree and agree. My friend is still single, 4 years later, and he started looking for a wife long before I did.

When I wrote my dating profiles, I used the Yeshua approach, not the quantity-is-king approach. I was not inclusive. I worked hard to drive women off.

I told them what my beliefs were. I told them not to even waste my time if we were not on the same page. I was brutal.

My wife saw it, liked it, and here we are.

I did what Yeshua does. I focused more on running off people who had no chance than on attracting people. I ran off leftists. I ran off cessationists.

I was building a filter. If you want to filter something good out of a substance, you don’t give it holes that hold onto everything. That’s just common sense.

My friend was willing to talk to women who were “spiritual” but not completely in line with him. Cessationists. Catholics. He was open to all sorts of Christians. For a time he even had a Jewish girlfriend, and I don’t mean a Messianic.

My friend has the stats. I have the wife. She and I agree; I did it right, and my friend has done it wrong.

One of the most destructive things women do is going after unsuitable men they think they can change. They do the same thing with shoes. If they’re cute, they buy them, even if it means surgery later. Most men look for women they don’t have to change, but my friend has done it the female way.

My wife and I discussed my method and my friend’s method, and of course, we agreed that my way was the right way. We agreed that it was like what Yeshua does.

There are people out there who think Charlie Kirk is a great man of God because his death inspired a lot of people to go to events and get baptized. But how many of those people will be Christians 5 years from now? How many who will stick around will be baptized with the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues, and be transformed and separated from the world?

A tiny percentage. I promise you.

Also, you can’t become a great man of God after you die. If a million people got baptized because a cocker spaniel died, it wouldn’t make the cocker spaniel a man of God. You are defined by what you do while you’re alive. You can’t become a man of God after you die.

Here’s another problem for the people who want to put Kirk on a pedestal: he thought Catholicism was great, and he took his family to masses. He also hid it, which is not very honest, presumably because he knew the Christian right is overwhelmingly non-Catholic.

A lot of non-Catholic Christians think this is a slander Candace Owens made up, among her many other slanders and fantasies, but it appears to be true. His best friend (he has so many best friends now) says Kirk was drawn to the Catholic Church and loved masses.

Catholicism is WRONG, and I don’t mean wrong in small letters. It’s WRONG. It credits Mary with a type of godhood, which is completely false. It teaches people to wear charms, which come from pagan religions. It teaches people to pray to dead people, which is necromancy. It discourages the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It contains so many major errors, many ex-Catholics who have become charismatics say they were Catholic but not Christian.

God doesn’t put people in the Catholic Church. He pulls them out of it.

Conservative Christians have a lot of fun with the delusions of leftists, but delusion is spreading among us, too. The Charlie Kirk delusion is a glaring example. We also have a problem with Jew-hatred. It used to be confined mostly to the left, but Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are helping it spread on the right. Conservatives who claim to be Christian but know nothing about the Holy Spirit are easily fooled, so it’s not hard to pull them into Hitler’s camp.

You know who was a big supporter of big-tent Christianity? Constantine. He made Christianity (or a pagan corruption of Christianity) the official religion of the Roman Empire. He was a Catholic.

How did that work out?

Go look at the Revelation.

Istanbul was the capital of the Roman Empire. Why don’t we call it Constantinople any more? Because it’s in a Muslim country where big-tent Christianity failed.

The seven churches of the Revelation were in what is now Turkey. Every last one of them. Who ended up fighting the so-called Christian monarchs of Europe? Turks! Muslim Turks.

Turkey is now a Muslim nation, it has been for centuries, and its government is antisemitic. Many of the common people also hate Jews.

If Yeshua visited Turkey today, he wouldn’t have seven huge churches to talk to. They’re gone. But he could go to Istanbul and see the Hagia Sophia, the huge Catholic church Muslims took over, desecrated, and turned into a mosque.

A person who helps 30 people obtain a lasting relationship with the Holy Spirit, and to obtain salvation, is doing great. Yeshua is God, and he didn’t do much better during his earthly life. A pop minister who helps hundreds of thousands obtain show salvation for selfies and Tiktoks is actually harming people.

The word says this:

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

That didn’t suddenly change because America was founded or people had big events after Charlie Kirk died. Salvation is still for the few.

This follows:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

If you know people who answered altar calls and still fit into the world and embrace its culture, you know fake Christians. They existed in ancient times, and they still exist.

Real Christianity is never going to be popular, and our job isn’t to make it popular. Yeshua himself couldn’t do it. Our job is to spread the real thing and not worry about the people who reject it.

Delusion will increase on the left and the right because leftists hate Christianity and conservatives think they know better than Yeshua. It’s a bad situation. Real revival isn’t coming. I don’t care how many people get on their knees on athletic fields at special post-assassination events. It was never about quantity. It has always been about the truth.

If I annoy big tent Christians by writing these things, it’s a good sign, because they have always been a problem.

My Rebuttal to Dale Carnegie

I had the funniest dream last night.

I use a lot of Internet forums because I have a lot of interests. I can’t just conjure up friends and relatives who can tell me how to wire up a guitar amp tube socket or change an oil seal on a tractor axle. I have to look elsewhere.

Something about me attracts insults and abuse. Internet forums are full of jerks. Anyone who participates in a typical forum will eventually be bullied and provoked. My strategy is to try to show humility and patience from the start, and I use self-deprecating remarks to keep the jerks from waking up, but to many jerks, humility and self-deprecation are like the smell of poop to flies, so they pounce.

Eventually, if someone will not leave me alone, I will respond in kind. I am much better at this than most people, and forum moderators don’t like it. You can let a complete ass insult you over and over for weeks, and you can count on forum moderators to leave him alone, but when you get fed up and snap back with a penetrating shot from a larger caliber, you get in trouble.

These days, more and more moderators are ignorant young wokesters, so things are worse if there is any kind of conservative or Christian smell to you. It doesn’t have to be overt; a slight hint will serve just fine to get you disparate and unfair treatment.

Some old crank has been needling me on a forum for saying it’s a good thing to expose people who give consumers a raw deal. It’s like he’s a dog and the neighbor’s shar pei is in heat. He can’t move on. I responded to his obnoxious remarks civilly several times, and he can’t shut up.

I quit going to the forum, but after a week or two, I decided to visit again, and he was still at it. I told him the first of the month was coming up, so I was glad I wasn’t paying rent on his head.

Personally, I would rent a house, not an efficiency, but let’s move on.

Now some woke kid moderators are sending me email messages. I responded once, and now I just put them in the Archived folder. Maybe I’ll read them in a month or two, or maybe I’ll use other forums.

There are some seriously non-woke forums out there, so that’s nice. One example is Arborist Site, for people who need help with forestry tools. Gun forums are also pretty good. I wouldn’t go near a Christian forum, because I can’t handle the self-righteousness from people who do nothing but quote fools like Joel Osteen and T.D. Jakes. Few things are worse than being scolded by ignorant, disrespectful people.

Some people are drawn to Christianity by a desire to change and get close to God. Many more, however, are drawn by the desire to be God’s Karens and HOA presidents. Yeshua was murdered by self-promoting, self-adoring Karens.

A Youtube preacher named Tom Fischer lectured me for criticizing TV preachers and their prosperity nonsense. Well, he lives in a camper that was a gift. I am not making fun of him. Poverty is no joke. But he lives in a camper, he has had this standard of living for many years, and he essentially called me an enemy of Christ for criticizing the prosperity gospel.

He told me I had discipline coming. I was living in a nice house. I had a wonderful wife. I didn’t have to work. I lived in a fantastic area with warm, kind people. Since he gave me his warning, I have had a magnificent baby son who brightens every day of my life. Things get better all the time.

As I have told my wife, if this is discipline, I want more of it.

He has a lot of company. A lot of people have told me God was either getting me or going to get me. Most ironically, Alberto Lee Santiago, the child-rapist pastor from my last church. He told me God didn’t like what I was doing. Within a couple of years, he was put in prison, his wife (who agreed with him) died from a brain tumor before he was sentenced, and of course, he lost his church.

His brother-in-law Sander was also enraged at me, although of course, he claimed he was praying for me. Sometimes I think that’s the ultimate Christian diss.

Sander was an illegal alien; maybe he still is. He got furious at me for calling Osteen a grinning jackass, which I stand by. He got even madder when I said illegal immigration was a Biblical curse, which is a hundred percent true. When Santiago was arrested (after doing his level best to discourage the victim’s mother from forgiving him), Sander posted a meme criticizing church members for abandoning their “shepherd.”

There are a lot of things a good shepherd does with sheep. What Albert did is not one of them.

I would like to see Tom Fischer and his wife in a big, beautiful house with a pack of cute kids playing around their feet, but it looks like the prosperity gospel is keeping him where he is. It was designed by Satan to do that. It works beautifully. As Satan’s tools go, it is unsurpassed in its effectiveness.

The more you give to prosperity preachers, the less you prosper, and the less you can give to the poor. That’s the scheme, in a nutshell. In a way, it’s almost beautiful. So simple and powerful.

Fischer also lays into the Jews all the time, which is beyond disappointing.

Anyway, that’s just an example of what happens when I speak up around Christians. Religious people murdered Yeshua, and they want to get rid of everyone else who shoots down their idols and superstitions. Jewish or Christian, it’s the same kind of people.

I really hope no one hits me with “Judge not” for the rest of this year. I don’t know if I’ll be able to restrain myself. I’m going to get a shirt that says, “‘Judge not’ is not the only verse in the Bible.”

Like Yeshua and the apostles, I judge people all the time. It’s extremely helpful to me and whoever hears it. I don’t care who the person is; the other day I judged Billy Graham for saying Muhammad Ali was a follower of Jesus Christ. That was a stupid and dangerous thing to say. I don’t care how many people went to Graham’s crusades.

Billy Graham is probably close to the top of the Christian idol totem pole. He was so relentlessly inoffensive, he drew the admiration of hundreds of millions. What did Yeshua, an unpopular person, say about popularity?

If I’m willing to knock Billy Graham, you know I’m hard core.

My wife saw Graham say this, and she was mortified. We listened to him, and the impression we got was that he denied the necessity of the cross, which could mean he was not saved. Denying Yeshua is the absolute surest and quickest way to lose your salvation.

Muhammad Ali, a Muslim, named himself after a pedophile rapist gangster who was physically dirty and encouraged his followers to perform acts of terrorism against non-Muslims. Ali was no follower of Yeshua. He was an extremely ignorant man, he lived a life of defeat, and he is almost certainly in hell. Graham saw no point in correcting him. In fact, he reinforced his eternal itinerary by lying to his face. Great job, Billy.

Believe it or not, warning people about hell is important. Is it controversial to say that? Can that possibly be? Slap yourself hard in the face and think about it.

To get back to my dream, I dreamed someone emailed me a link to a new forum, and I visited it. All of the posts were reposts of things I had written on forums. All the horrible non-woke things that had sent snowflakes running for their weed stashes and power crystals.

One of the posts was very funny. The guy who created the forum was furious at me for using the phrase “crazy people.” You can’t say “crazy” any more, even if you’re describing a bona fide psychotic who has to be kept strapped to a wall.

This useful, accurate phrase is considered offensive. That’s just crazy.

God has blessed me for giving up secular entertainment. I did it earlier this year, and although my life was very good beforehand, it is much, much better now. Years ago, he blessed me for giving up social media. Now I wonder if he wants me to quit using Internet forums.

I feel like I need them for the purpose of getting information, but that may be an excuse. I also use them for socializing.

Now that AI is freely available, I have found that it’s a better source of help than Internet forums. Forum people like answering questions about which they know nothing. They also drag threads off topic. Maybe I should drop forums and stick with AI as much as I can.

Participation in the world’s culture is unequal yoking, so it has to be minimized.

Is using AI unequal yoking? I hope not. It’s pretty woke, i.e. deluded. AI bots aren’t people, though, so I treat them like the inanimate objects they are. I don’t try to get along with them. I don’t use good manners. I never joke with them. It would be like trying to befriend a shovel.

The world’s culture is a minefield. It was designed by Satan. He puts little temptation mines in TV, fiction, movies, sports, music, and the news. When you walk through it, the mines blow up under your feet. Demons get permission to enter your home and go after you and your family.

The most pleasant thing about abandoning secular entertainment is that it put an end to my lust issues. I didn’t realize it, but websites that don’t seem sex-related have little bits of erotic content in them designed to pull you further astray, and it works. News sites are full of erotic clickbait about whorish female celebrities. This one or that one shocked the crowd at Sundance by going to a viewing naked! This one has an incredible “bikini bod” at 57! That one wore a CHEEKY dress to the Golden Globes! It’s all over sites like The Daily Mail and Yahoo News.

I don’t need to see professional sluts all day. Sorry; that’s what they are. I wouldn’t let them be part of my social circle or walk onto my property, so why read about them on the Internet?

I didn’t realize reading the news or watching shows like Clarkson’s Farm could lead to problems with lust, but it does. It must lead to other demonic issues, too.

Being delivered from demons is wonderful, but it’s a second-rate blessing. The better blessing is to avoid having demons in the first place. Secular culture brings them in, and if they are cast out and you go back to secular culture, they enter you all over again.

I would rather stay free than watch Fox News. The Catholic news channel.

Any channel where more than one host refers to an old celibate socialist elected by gays as the holy father is suspect.

I’m not going to fit in with this world. If I started to, it would be a sign that I had backslidden and lost my relationship with God. Changing my behavior to avoid offending won’t help. The real offense is my existence. I’m like a Jew. The problem people have with me isn’t my behavior. It’s my existence itself.

Currying favor won’t make anyone like me. It will just strip me of the favor of God and grieve the Holy Spirit.

If I try to make people like me by being less honest, they will still hate me, but I will lose my relationship with God.

Go ahead and dislike me. They will never build a microscope powerful enough to detect my respect for your opinion of me.

Don’t Give Everything Away Just Yet

Rapture fever is apparently peaking again.

I believe in the rapture. It is described clearly in the Bible, and there are also lots of symbolic references to it.

I have no problem with the rapture. In fact, I am counting on it, because I am not eager to die of old age on a planet that has descended into wholesale, violent, sadistic persecution. I don’t want my wife and son to be stuck here, either.

I’m convinced rapture-deniers have the poorer view. On the other hand, it is fatiguing to get excited, repeatedly, about a possibly-imminent rapture and then find out it’s not happening. It’s like sitting in a restaurant, watching waiters stroll by with pizza after pizza you mistakenly think is headed for your table.

In 2015, in a dream, I experienced the rapture with my late mother. I heard the trumpet and everything. It gave me hope I would not be stuck here much longer. It is now 2025.

In 2020, I had another rapture dream, but it was symbolic. I thought it might point to a rapture that would take place at around Christmas of that year. January came, and I was still here.

I think both of these dreams were related to Christmas, because in the 2015 dream, I was in my grandparents’ living room. That is the room where my cousins and I opened our Christmas presents. The memory of opening presents in that room is the strongest memory I have of it.

Also, if you think about it, the rapture is like Christmas. The first Christmas was the first time Yeshua came to earth as Messiah, and the rapture will be the second time. A second Christmas.

I used to keep up with other people’s rapture dreams on Youtube, but it became very difficult because an eccentric woman put up a channel which stole and reposted other people’s videos. This effectively blocked out other people’s content unless she liked it. I think she did this to make money.

I quit searching for videos and went on with my life, so I lost touch with other rapture enthusiasts.

Recently, a friend of mine reposted a video from a young man who said he had dreamed of the rapture. He said Yeshua had told him he was “right at the door.” He said he had heard the dates September 23 and September 24 over and over.

He said Yeshua kept saying, “My wrath is just,” meaning the tribulation was ready to fall on the world.

He also said God spoke through him to his father, telling his father that his grandfather was in heaven, and the grandfather wanted the father to pray for the father’s siblings because they were not saved.

This all sounded pretty good, except for a few problems that made it incompatible with the truth.

First of all, the rapture did not come, unless it was tiny. If so, I am in big trouble, because I am now in the tribulation.

Second, there is no reason to believe dead people know anything about what happens here, that they intercede for us, or that God would give us messages from them.

Predictably, there is a parachute to save the prediction from the date problem. People are saying Yeshua is coming on September 23 or 24 on the Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind our Gregorian calendar.

The obvious question is why he would use a calendar no one uses today.

The Julian September 23 is our October 6, so some people will hold out hope through October 7.

There is no getting around the dead people problem. Talking to the dead is forbidden in both Judaism and Christianity, except for old semi-pagan churches like the Catholic Church. It’s for witches and sorcerers.

In the Old Testament, only one dead person spoke to a living person. It was Samuel. Saul conjured him up, and Samuel told him he was cursed for it. Some people say it wasn’t really Samuel, but the Bible clearly says it was Samuel, so God must have permitted Saul to talk to him on this special occasion.

There is no example of a dead person talking to a living person in the New Testament. Elijah and Moses appeared with Yeshua, but they didn’t talk to anyone else. Resurrected people talked to the living, but they were alive.

In the Bible, God spoke to human beings through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. I think there is also at least one example of a person visiting the throne room in heaven, meaning Yahweh spoke to him. I am not a great Bible scholar. Anyway, God spoke to people as Yahweh, the Holy Spirit, and Yeshua. As the Holy Spirit, he often spoke through living men. He also spoke to people through angels.

With the likely exception of the Samuel incident, which is something no one should ever try to copy, there is no example of God sending a dead person to talk to the living.

If God were speaking to the young man in the video, he would simply tell him his dad’s siblings needed intercession in order to be saved. He would not involve his grandfather. That would make no sense.

God didn’t tell the young man the rapture was coming on September 23 or 24 on any calendar. He didn’t give him a message from his grandfather. The information in the video came from somewhere else, and the whole video should be dismissed.

In comments below the video, Christians are oohing and ahhing in agreement. We have a terrible culture of gullibility, which is not faith. We try so hard to believe, we get used to accepting whatever we hear that seems to be positive for the kingdom. We swallow a lot of garbage. This leads to disaster for many of us.

Today, I see heathens gloating on the web, saying MAGA Christians are crying like babies because the rapture didn’t come this week. I don’t know if this is true; I haven’t checked. I didn’t know September 2025 rapture predictions were widespread, so I am behind the curve.

I have nothing but empathy for anyone who cries because the rapture hasn’t come. It seems like a rational response.

Although the video was not from God, it did contain some interesting information.

The video says that when Yeshua said people would not know the day or hour of his return, he was quoting past Jews who were talking about Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish holiday that started on September 23. It’s the day the Jewish new year starts.

I decided to look this up, since there is a lot of unvetted garbage out there regarding Judaism’s connection to Christianity.

It turns out there is something to it. Rosh Hashanah is one of the Jewish special days that starts on a new moon. Deep in the past, Jews did not assume the new moon was out there because astronomical charts predicted it. They didn’t go ahead with new moon festivities until two witnesses testified that they had seen the new moon.

This may be wrong, but: the web says the current Jewish calendar, which is very good, didn’t exist until a millennium and a half ago, and this is why they had to eyeball the moon.

Because the moon was sometimes covered by clouds, and clouds can last a while, the beginning of the new year could be moved back quite a bit, meaning it wasn’t just the hour, but the day, which was not certain.

Is this all correct? Do your own Googling and see what you think.

The idea that the date and hour were uncertain seems to be solid, but not so, claims that Yeshua was quoting well-known Jewish wisdom when he said, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” This may be a Christian embellishment.

The video also says something about Jewish weddings and abductions. The idea is that ancient Jews used to hold mock abductions at weddings, grabbing the brides and carrying them off to the ceremonies or something.

This appears to be fiction. Maybe someone can find proof that doesn’t come from a Christian source.

It makes the rapture look more plausible, because the rapture is Yeshua, grabbing his bride and taking him away with her. It is understandable that Christians will little regard for the truth would make something like this up. Christians have promoted enough lies to fill encyclopedias. They made up the saints, the immaculate conception, the rosary, original sin, baby-baptism, and the Seventh-Day Adventist rules against pork and shrimp.

No bacon-wrapped shrimp! Now that’s a sacrifice.

While I am sure the September 23-24 theory is wrong, because here I am, I have to say that I saw another September rapture video that was not as easily debunked. A lady who sounds like she is from Australia says her autistic son spelled out prophecies on a letterboard and told her he had seen her aborted daughter in heaven. She says he didn’t know she had had an abortion. She says he named the man who raised her and said he was in heaven. She says the boy couldn’t have known about him.

She does not call for a September 23-24 rapture. She says God clearly told her son “September 2025.” I’m assuming that’s Gregorian.

It would be impressive, if true, and for all I know, it is. But she could be making it up.

Here’s a great lesson for you: you can’t “read people.” You can’t tell whether people are lying or not. If you think you can, you’re delusional. The world is full of people who know exactly how to act to make others believe them and give them sympathy. Only the Holy Spirit can read people for you.

The lady in the video seems open, honest, and brave. She says things that tug at your heartstrings. Well, if I were a bored psychopathic liar in love with attention, I would look for ways to seem just as credible and sympathetic as she does. It’s not that hard. If it were, there wouldn’t be hundreds of millions of people doing it.

This lady could be a AI creation for all I know. I can’t find the original location of her video, or any other videos she created, anywhere.

I would be very happy if my family and I were taken this month. I don’t think we’re going anywhere on October 6 or 7, but if we do, it will ruin future October 7ths for Islamists everywhere.

I don’t think anyone can specify a date. I think what Yeshua said about days and yours probably still holds true, although it’s not certain. He fully expects us to know the time of the rapture, but it’s not clear how accurate he wants us to be. I think it’s reasonable to think we could be told the month when he will come.

I’m not worried about being wrong about any of this, because I know of no requirement that you believe in the rapture in order to be included.

I am ready to go. This place is getting crazier by the second. It looks like Candace Owens is now surpassing Hitler in her ravings about Jews.

Owens is an excellent barometer. The more approval she gets, the crazier our country must be.

As far as I know, Hitler thought Jews were immoral, subhuman parasites whose disloyalty (not the Kaiser’s obvious incompetence) caused Germany to lose World War I. What a terrible thing to do, if true. How wonderful Europe would be with Germans running it (sarcasm). As of right now, they’re just funding it.

Owens now says Israel is a “demonic nation.” Hitler didn’t go that far, unless my knowledge of history is even spottier than I think it is.

I can’t believe I live in an America where a crazy woman can blather blatantly, patently, shamelessly antisemitic lies, not be censored or fired, and get richer every day! Could this have happened even in 2015?

Most political commentators are silly, but Owens is genuinely dangerous. She is moving us toward an America where pogroms are everyday activities. Where will Jews go then? No idea. I don’t even know where I could go.

If the success of Candace Owens can happen, we can eventually have troops goose-stepping down Pennsylvania Avenue, saluting Fuhrer Carlson and Vice Fuhrer Owens as they pass the White House. No delusion is beyond us now. We could hold fair elections and put a fox terrier in the Oval Office.

Owens is a self-debunking liar. She wants us to think Israel killed Charlie Kirk because he was turning against Israel, which he was not, but she is much worse than she wants us to think he was, and Israel hasn’t had her killed. She thinks Jews control the media, but they haven’t shut down her horrendous podcast.

I’m genuinely sorry the rapture didn’t come. Take comfort in the knowledge that we won’t be here forever.

Welcome to Nonbinary Day Care, Little Tyler Routh Mangione

My baby son grew up this week. He is now 47.

Three big things have happened.

1. His crawl speed has increased by about 300%.

2. He tried to climb up our stairs.

3. We are pretty sure he was trying to say “Dad” in the car yesterday.

All of this took place over about two days. I don’t know what’s with this kid.

Yesterday, I planned to have a pleasant day of testing country ham and procrastinating, but I had to go to Walmart get a baby gate and a real playpen. It couldn’t wait until today.

The crawling thing was a shock. I used to be able to put him on the floor and come back and find him pretty close to the same location. Now we get–literally–two seconds before he drops the clutch and crawls completely out of the room. For the first time, if he is on the loose, we may not know where he is.

When we’re on the bed together, I have to grab one foot of his romper and hold it, because he may launch himself like a Trident missile to get at the stuff on my night table. He may also launch himself over the side completely, head first.

There is no warning at all when he takes off. Suddenly, he’s somewhere else.

I don’t know how anyone can crawl quickly. It’s hard on the limbs.

When I hold him by his romper, he keeps groaning and straining. He never looks back to see what the problem is.

My wife found him at the bottom of the rec room stairs, pawing at things I had left on them because I was too lazy to move them all the way to the second story. She had to move everything away from him.

Now when I receive .22 ammunition to try out, I’ll have to take it all the way to the storage room. Otherwise, he’ll turn himself into a human magazine.

On the way home from the trip to get the gate and playpen, he started saying, “Da da da da da da DA!” I have been trying to teach him to say “Dad.” I touch my chest and say, “Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!” He thinks it’s wonderful. It appears he is trying to imitate me.

My wife says she thinks it’s great because she’s a patriarchist.

If only a feminist would come, deprogram her, and save her from happiness. She, too, could have 7 cats named after famous socialists and witches, an apartment all to herself and a fatherless son, dated Seventies rainbow hair, and a bellyful of Zoloft, Klonopin, semaglutide, and fattening bagged organic snacks from Trader Joe’s.

Putting a gate on the rec room stairs may be hard because we have a high baseboard. I bought something anyway, and I’ll see if it fits.

Playpens are now called “playards.” It’s not a real word, it makes no sense, and it looks stupid. When I saw it, I smelled wokitude.

Turns out I was right. Evidently, suggesting a child can be put in a pen is non-woke, microaggressive, and extremely hurtful. In the view of utter pinheads.

A playpen is nothing like a yard.

I call it what it is: a playpen. I will always call it that unless I can come up with something that invokes colonialism and manspreading.

Why do young people have to opt for idiocy every time? Is there anything millennials can’t ruin?

We already had a playpen for him, but it was no good, because it wasn’t a real playpen. It was a bassinet. The mattress can be lowered close to the floor, so that supposedly makes it a playpen. No; it’s just a weird bassinet. It’s small, and he can’t be expected to learn to walk on a foam pad.

I wonder when they’re going to come up with a new word for “diaper.” Maybe “pooyard.”

“I was chestfeeding little Lenin Snoqualmie when I realized zhey needed a fresh, sustainable, gender-neutral, tuck-friendly, soy fiber pooyard.”

This brings me to disturbing woke baby names. My buddy Mike already has granddaughters named Fern and Wren. I am not kidding. A boy is on the way. This was Mike’s chance for a normal name.

I won’t give you time to brace. They chose “Oak.”

Fern, Wren, and Oak. Where is Christopher Robin?

I almost miss the days when all liberals named their kids Dylan.

Oak isn’t a name. I don’t care if there have been people named Oak. There have been people named Raspberry and Osprey. Doesn’t mean these are real names.

Here is his future:

1. “Could you repeat that for me? Again?”

2. “Class, I thought I told you to stop throwing Oak on the ant pile.”

3. “Is it okay if I call you by your middle name?”

4. “Honey, I’m just not comfortable with ‘Oak, Junior.’ Let’s pick something else.”

I hope he’s big and strong, because he will need to be. A boy named Oak.

They gave him three names plus a surname, and only one is normal. Unfortunately, the normal name is sexually ambiguous. By design? Wouldn’t surprise me.

You have to give a kid an escape hatch unless you like putting cold washcloths on black eyes.

It was predictable that they wouldn’t consider “Michael,” even after all the things Mike has done for them and paid for. It fits in perfectly with all the things I have heard about them.

My understanding is that his son is a very smart and talented young man and an extremely conscientious and dedicated father. Mike says he is very concerned about morality and tries to improve himself. He appears to have a blind spot in one area, though.

Seems like an undeserved slap in the face to me, but what do I know? Mike would have been on cloud nine, but never mind. I would have loved to hear they named the baby after him.

I would have given my son my dad’s name, but because of my dysfunctional upbringing, hearing it makes my blood pressure spike. It’s like I’m a baby sparrow in the nest, and my dad’s name is the shadow of a hawk flying over. I gave my son my grandfather’s name, and I told my wife we should give the next one her dad’s name.

She rejected that, however, because he did not behave all that well in life. She has demoted him to middle-name status.

Christians name children to honor older people they know, or Biblical figures. Leftists name children to one-up other leftist parents.

Leftist 1: Our son has an Algonquin Indian name.

Leftist 2: Be better. My unassigned offspring has a sub-Saharan click-language name.

Leftist 3: How 2020 of both of you. We chose “Sinwar Bud Light Luigi.”

Is the last-names-first fad over with? Are leftists still naming their daughters awful things like Wilson and Flannery?

I am not in love with my first name, but it’s not bad, and at least it’s a name. It’s much more dignified than I am, so that’s a win.

“Tyler” is probably trending among leftists right now.

I think I should take a page from an old Bloom County strip and name a son Trump T. Trump. Or Reagan T. Trump.

It’s startling to see a baby make sudden leaps in development. Of course, it’s encouraging, but it also reminds me he will only be a baby once. When babyhood is gone, it’s gone. It has to be savored while it lasts.

We will try to teach him to have a little gratitude and respect instead of criticizing and putting us on trial every day of his adult life while expecting us to support him and do things for him well into his thirties. I hope it works, because I have seen what happens when it doesn’t.

Things are just about ideal here. My son is a joy. My wife and I love each other; we are more like parts of each other than separate beings. God’s presence comes to us over and over. Our area is peaceful. We lack for nothing.

Everyone was miserable back in 2020, but we both loved it. Then we found each other in 2021, and while a lot of people were worrying and being held prisoner in their own homes by Democrat governors, we were having long video calls, praying together, getting married on Zoom, and flying to exotic destinations to be with each other. Every year has been better than the last. As happy as we were with just each other, we are even happier now that we have a baby, and we expect every new baby to make us happier still.

God keeps giving us correction, and I believe anyone who keeps receiving and applying his correction will find that his life gets more pleasant as years pass. I am optimistic because I have a loving benefactor who is patient, eager to bless, and slow to punish. He has been right about everything.

Today we will be taking the baby to the dermatologist for a followup, and then we plan to go to our favorite restaurant: Costco. We hope to be home when the anniversary ring I bought my wife comes back from being resized.

If you’re not happy, keep asking God to tell what you’re doing wrong. It worked for the ancient Jews, and it is certainly working for us. God loves you as much as anyone else, so he is ready to start when you are.

Depends on Which Pole You’re On

I had a spectacular day.

I was going to go outside and remove the nasty old rocks around an unwanted flowerbed, but instead, I ordered country ham over the web and took the family to Costco for pizza. We actually like having dinner at Costco, and it runs us about 10 dollars.

I love country ham, but it has to be good. My grandmother used to cure her own hams back in Kentucky, and she aged them a couple of years, so they were magnificent. They were also fatter than today’s hams, so there was no lack of grease for gravy. If you go into a grocery store that sells country hams, you’re likely to end up with Smithfield or Clifty Farms, which are aged very little and lacking in flavor. Also, Smithfield ham smells a little bit like manure.

One of the pleasures of having a foreign wife is introducing her to American food. My wife loves barbecue, Ruth’s Chris, Lee’s Famous Fried Chicken, Dr. Pepper, and a number of other things, but she has been a little slow to embrace country ham.

A country ham is supposed to be fermented. The aroma is supposed to have a little funk to it, and when you slice the ham, you should have to scrape some mold off of it. It’s also supposed to be very, very salty. It’s supposed to contain enough salt to prevent harmful bacteria from growing. After all, country ham was invented in order to help people preserve pork so they had meat during the winter. People made it as a survival tool.

When my wife tried country ham, she did not think much of it, but I fried a piece yesterday, and she liked it. She keeps telling me she is becoming Americanized. She has quit eating the flavorless corn mush Zambians call nshima, for example.

A few years back, I ordered samples from several ham companies so I could compare them. Sadly, I failed to record the results of this important research, so I was forced to repeat it.

I used to order hams from a company called Gatton Farms, but they went out of business. After that, I uses Scott’s hams, but they tanked, too. This is why I needed to find a new source.

My second cousin Wade, who is now gone, liked Colonel Newsom’s hams, made in Princeton, Kentucky. He once told me walking into Newsom’s was like entering a shrine.

I’m sure he knew what he was talking about. Everyone from the hills knows a good ham when he tastes one, and it seems like no one else does. My grandparents and all of their daughters knew what a good ham tasted like. I know. But people on food websites make deplorable recommendations.

Newsom’s doesn’t use curing salt. Just table salt, brown sugar, and hickory smoke. My understanding is that curing salt speeds up the cure process. Personally, I have nothing against it, as long as the ham gets plenty of aging time in spite of it.

I have never had a Newsom’s ham. They are extremely expensive, and Gatton Farms and Scott’s made top-notch products for way less. I used to get a whole ham, sliced, bagged and shipped, for under $70. I couldn’t persuade myself to spend more for Newsom’s.

Yesterday I decided to make sure I wasn’t missing out. I ordered a whole Newsom’s ham. Life is short. When my wife saw me looking at the website, she increased my joy by suggesting I order sausage, too. She used to refuse American sausage. She’s coming around!

It wasn’t a cheap purchase, but it will be nice to find out whether these hams are as good as some people think they are.

I also ordered slices from Broadbent’s and Benton’s; two other famous ham companies. My hope is that they will turn out to be as good or better than Newsom’s. If so, I won’t have to pay Newsom prices in the future.

The important thing will be to record the results of the experiment. If I could remember what I thought of Broadbent’s and Benton’s the last time I compared them, I wouldn’t need to spend more money.

My wife was also critical of Southern-style collards, which I love. I boil them forever with ham hocks or neckbones or whatever other smoked pork products are available, and they are heavenly.

Zambians are like yankees. They barely cook their greens. Sure, they look nice, and they have a less-wilted texture some people like, but that slow-cooked flavor is not there. It’s a giant waste of potential.

Yankees always say Southerners turn vegetables into mush. They don’t know what slow-cooked vegetables are supposed to taste like, so they don’t know what they’re missing.

Now my wife says she loves Southern-style collards. We have been going to a place called Fat Boys BBQ, and they serve collards. They won her over.

Sadly, Newsom’s doesn’t slice hams, so I will have to do it myself or find a butcher who has a machine. I can vacuum-seal the slices, but the tedious job of slicing is mine. Another reason to root for the other two contenders.

I ordered the Newsom’s ham yesterday, and I ordered samples from Broadbent’s and Benton’s today. Feeling satisfied with my accomplishments, I forgot all about moving the rocks and told my wife we were going to Costco for dinner.

We drove down to Sumter County, to the Villages. This is an enormous retirement community. It’s as close to heaven as an old person can get without dying. There are all sorts of stores, restaurants, and golf courses, and the old people zip around the community in golf carts.

There is no Costco in our county. I belonged when I lived in Miami, but I had to quit when I moved here. Last month, the Costco in the Villages opened, so I renewed my membership.

The drive is very pleasant. It was relaxing. Lots of little farms. Oaks arching over the roads. You would never know you were in the same state as Florida Man or Miami’s aggressive hordes.

It was very different from our recent visit to Gainesville for P.F. Chang’s.

To get to Gainesville, you have to use I-75, which is crowded and full of pushy drivers. Florida’s population keeps growing, and the main roads have not kept up. The pushy drivers are from South Florida, along with some from Georgia. People here don’t act like that.

We visited Trader Joe’s, P.F. Chang’s, and Bass Pro, in that order.

Gainesville is in Alachua County. It’s where the University of Florida is located, so it’s full of miserable people. College students from other places. Angry, cynical leftist academics. On a visit prior to our last one, we saw two young men in prairie dresses and work boots. We ate at a restaurant where they gave us paper straws. What more do I have to tell you? But I will tell you more anyway.

Trader Joe’s was packed with leftists. Young college students; not the kind of people who build Charlie Kirk memorials. Old ones who looked like worn-out communists. Freaks by choice.

In the parking lot, people were driving aggressively to get as close to the door as they could. That never happens here.

The atmosphere was cold and unfriendly. I would even call it tense. People seemed rushed. I asked my wife what she thought of the people, and she told me she would tell me when we got outside.

When we take our baby out in our county, people always want to see him. They tell us how cute he is. They say they want to take him home. At Trader Joe’s, precisely one lady noticed him.

At Bass Pro, the atmosphere was completely different. It was peaceful. We felt calm. Everyone was friendly. We took our baby to see the aquarium, and he loved it. Other families were showing their little ones the fish.

Today, before we went into Costco, we checked out Fresh Market, an upscale grocery my wife hadn’t seen yet. The people were wonderful. Everyone wanted to see my son. They talked about how cute he was. The employees loved him. They spent a lot of time telling us about the store and ways to get deals.

At Costco, my wife occupied a table, and I went to pick up pizza and a chocolate sundae. While I was gone, the old man behind my wife turned around to talk to her about the baby. He noticed how aware he was of his surroundings.

We only bought three things, so we weren’t there long, but a number of people wanted to see the baby.

He smiled at people. He loves meeting them.

The drive home was just like the first drive. No hurry. The golden light of late afternoon. A baby full of ice cream.

We could be living among sour, furious University of Florida professors who frown to the point of injuring their faces over the existence of Christian and conservate students and their beloved president. We could be in Miami, being insulted and scammed by aggressive, rude illegal aliens. We are extremely blessed to be where we are, surrounded by warm, loving people. We are blessed to have had our priorities changed so we aren’t still mud-wrestling with people whose only pleasures in life are being unhappy and making others unhappy.

This morning, we watched videos about Singapore. We both said we wished we were there instead of in the US. As much as we love our area, Singapore has some big advantages. No one is killing Christians, or anyone else, there. The air isn’t filled with hatred.

We saw a video about the huge underground developments in Singapore. They are building a vast network of tunnels attached to their clean, safe, comfortable train system. I told my wife that if anyone tried to build something like that in the US, enraged hippies would glue themselves to the pavement and scream bloody murder.

I noted the difference between videos about Singapore’s trains and videos about American subways. American videos are about terrorism and other crimes. Black people shoving whites and Asians onto the tracks. Turnstile-jumpers. Ghetto kids terrorizing passengers, doing stupid dances and demanding to be paid. Gropers. Daniel Penney being prosecuted for saving strangers from a disgusting bully.

We loved the trains in Singapore, and also in Hong Kong, for that matter. So clean, safe, and pleasant. I went to college in New York, and I can’t tell you how strange it seems to me to go down into a subway system and not be immersed in the intense aroma of fermented pee.

I told my wife Singapore reminded me of the New Jerusalem, in the Revelation. A perfect city full of peaceful, well-intended, like-minded people. Maybe that’s why it appeals to us. In our spirits, we know we are supposed to live in a place like the New Jerusalem.

We have been to Egypt, Turkey, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, Switzerland, and Italy. After Israel, we both agree that we would rather go to Singapore a third time than revisit any of the other places.

Egypt is dirty and crazy. Ireland is pleasant but boring, and the food is not good. Turkey is nice, but not nice enough to make you dream of going back soon. Rome was one giant tourist trap, and it was full of pushy illegal aliens who had no manners. Switzerland is gorgeous, but they have jacked prices up to the point where tourists feel insulted, and it’s also filling up with Indian and Chinese tourists who are not always fun to be around. Staying in Cancun is like sleeping in a college bar.

I never thought I would say this, but I am not interested in seeing Switzerland again. I used to love it, but that has changed. You only have to charge me $7.50 for tap water once to make me understand that I’m unwelcome.

My wife doesn’t want to go back to Rome, ever. The illegals really got to her. She says she would make an exception so our children could see it. I liked Rome a little better, and I like Italians (real Italians in Europe), but I’m not hot to go back.

Singapore feels like home. When we arrived for our second visit, we felt like we were home again. It’s the strangest thing.

Singaporeans do everything well. They shame Americans every day.

To get back to the day I just had, I don’t know what I did to deserve a life this good. Actually, I know I didn’t do anything. I was rotten and immature. I deserve evil, and the Lord gave me the good he deserves.

I look forward to a bright future. The millennium. The New Jerusalem. Seeing God face to face. And maybe before the rapture or the day my body gives out, I’ll get to see Singapore a few more times.

You’ll Need the Official Hat and Shirt

I need to stop looking at the news. My general rule is to avoid it. Sometimes people tell me about stories, though, and occasionally, I see something I feel I need to look into. When Charlie Kirk was murdered by a liberal Mormon boy who cohabitated with a homosexual transvestite, I looked at a number of stories.

I am cutting back again, but I still heard about Ryder Corral, a sloppy, spoiled leftist baby man who trampled the objects set out as a tribute to Kirk in front of the offices of Turning Point USA. He did this in front of Fox News cameras along with a crowd of conservative and Christian mourners, one of whom slung him to the ground and put a stop to his antics.

Corral was wearing a shirt featuring the same design the coward Tyler Robinson wore when he shot Charlie Kirk with a deer rifle in front of his young wife and two small children. The design shows a flying eagle in front of our flag, along with the words “Land of the Free Home of the Brave.”

Pretty ironic, on the front of a sadistic, chickenhearted leftist punk who shot a man for exercising his freedom.

I would guess Robinson picked that shirt so he would look like a harmless conservative as he moved around the campus of the university where he shot Kirk.

Corral’s infantile rampage isn’t the big story. I don’t think people realize this. His shirt is the story.

Kirk had his neck blown apart on September 10. Corral threw his sociopathic tantrum on September 15. He already had the shirt. How did he get it so fast?

Sick leftists are selling copies of the shirt online. That’s how Corral got his shirt. In order for him to have it to wear on September 15, he must have ordered it no later than September 13. That’s how quickly Democrats seized on the opportunity to celebrate a brutal, bloody, public murder.

Today I Googled, and I found all sorts of ads for Tyler Robinson shirts. I took some screenshots on my phone, and I will show them to you now.

For a while, you could buy them on Walmart’s site.

This isn’t the first time this has happened during the last year. When another leftist coward, Luigi Mangione, shot down an insurance executive, other leftists lined up to buy hats identified with a video game character named Luigi. They wear them at their events. Not a few of them. Many of them.

If you don’t understand that America is in a very bad state, you need to wake up. Stop comparing today to yesterday. Compare it to the 20th century.

Imagine it’s 1963. John Kennedy’s brains have just been scrubbed off the car he was riding in when a communist shot them out of his head. Then imagine seeing people walking around in hats and shirts celebrating Lee Harvey Oswald.

Imagine it’s 1981. President Reagan is still hospitalized after being shot by a lunatic who thought it would impress an actress. Then imagine seeing people wearing T-shirts with the assassin’s picture on them.

We are going to have a civil war. Leftists will not leave it alone. For all their “coexist” bumper stickers and lying about peace, they are going to keep tormenting the rest of us until there is a nationwide reaction.

While I was taking a shooting class (not a killing class or militia preparation class), one of my instructors said something to us about how people were going to have to rise up and do something about America’s situation. He was talking about going to war.

There are a lot of problems with his thinking. One big one is that he’s talking about a war that can’t be won.

In order to truly win a war, you have to have a sane enemy, or at least one whose sanity can be restored. Otherwise, after the battles are over, you have to occupy his territory forever. A sane enemy will come around and let things drop. The Japanese, Austrians, and Germans were vicious and disgusting, but they made peace with us because the demons that motivated them were not told to keep going. American leftists are ruled by apocalyptic demons, sent to figuratively raise hell until after the tribulation. They are not going to stand down.

Another problem: there can be no front. Even in states that are fairly politically pure, the population is mixed. We work alongside lefists. They sit around dinner tables with us. They are our groomsmen and maids of honor. Our close relatives. They’re not going to show up as a separate force at a clearly-defined border. Americans will be killing each other all over the place, and they will be sneaky about it, just like the Viet Cong. You’ll be sitting at Five Guys, and an IED will go off. You’ll be gassing up your car, and an Eagle Scout wearing a Tyler Robinson shirt will shoot you from cover.

People we associate with all the time will become hidden dangers. It’s very difficult to deal with that kind of enemy.

There are potential killers and their helpers all around you. You don’t know they’re against you. You may find out who they are one day.

My buddy Mike posted something nice about Charlie Kirk on Facebook, and one of his “friends” excoriated him and spewed the usual lies about Kirk. Then she went after Kirk’s children. Look:

His daughter is three, and his son is one.

Aren’t women supposed to be child nurturers? Did I imagine that?

There is no military solution to the problem. We can’t put a third or half of our population in prison. We can’t occupy every big city. We can’t bomb them; they live in our houses.

America had a civil war a century and a half ago, and we have pretty much gotten over it, but it was different. Americans weren’t insane. They were divided by their opinions on important issues, but they never felt the people on the other side didn’t deserve to exist.

Leftists believe people like Charlie Kirk and me should not be allowed to exist. We should not have jobs. We should not be allowed to speak. No one should be able to see or hear us.

This is a common thread with Satan’s children. They don’t just want to win. They want their victims to cease to exist, and they want it to look like they never existed. This is why God would not let the Jews cremate their dead, and it’s why the Nazis used cremation to get rid of their bodies.

In the supernatural world, one of the worst types of harm is to have your name and memory blotted out. This is why some religious Jews call Yeshua “YESHU,” which is an initialism for, “May his name and memory be blotted out forever.” The problem for leftists isn’t just that we exist; it’s that we ever existed in the past.

Ryder Corral’s sick actions show that demons still want to erase the memory of those who oppose Satan. Charlie Kirk is dead, and his work will not continue. That should be sufficient to satisfy leftists, but it’s not. The demons are furious that people remember him. The memorial display Corral and his demons attacked is a reminder Satan can’t stand.

The thing that makes you Satan’s child is to have a character similar to Satan’s. Satan wants all the attention, because he’s like a gay man who wants to be the queen bee; the only Cher impersonator at the party. It enrages him that people even know who Yeshua is. His children are enraged that people know who Charlie Kirk was.

A man in Colorado put up a display honoring Kirk. He put a banner on his fence. A cowardly leftist came in the night, burned the banner, and threw a rock through his car’s rear windshield. Anyone who expresses sympathy for Kirk in public will make cowardly enemies.

In 2017, God told me the hatred that would drive leftists and pagans to murder us was already here, and increasingly, we see it manifesting. It’s so strong, it has even united homosexuals with Muslims who murder them. Satan’s children are like billions of rocks in billions of slingshots, pulled back and waiting to be released.

There is nothing we can do to prevent the final conflict or prevent them from taking over. It has been prophesied. We can do little things here and there to protect ourselves, but the earthly war is lost. There is no remedy for the world, but individuals can draw close to God and get protection. They can be isolated from the world and set aside in relatively friendly areas. They can learn to pray and do battle in the supernatural realm.

There is no reason to feel doomed. That’s not for us. It’s for them. Leftists will only with in the natural realm, on a macroscopic scale. We will have complete victory in the supernatural realm, and eventually, we will see a world without leftists, paganism, war, and hatred. A world of peace and love, and not just the false kind we read about in stickers on the backs of hybrid cars.

You know people who, right now, are willing to kill you. I mean people who are friendly now. You’ll find out about them soon enough. You need to separate yourself from them as much as you can. You need to get away from their culture. There is no point in building bridges God is going to burn.

Last night, I told my wife I had seen a lot of disaster movies, but it was really something, finding myself living in one. I said the end of civilization was quite a spectacle. A rare experience, since it only happens once.

Well…twice, if you count the flood.

American Parents Made This Happen

If Charlie Kirk’s barbaric, infantile killing has resulted in any good, it is that American adults are now being forced to look at the Satanic culture of our wrecked educational system.

Teachers and other school employees are making the news all over the country for celebrating Kirk’s death. It’s not a fringe phenomenon. It’s a tidal wave that covers the entire United States.

Even in conservative areas, the people who run our school system are usually leftists who hate Christianity and capitalism, and who bully students into supporting the left’s hatred or at least remaining silent.

The irony of educators publicly supporting a school shooting should be obvious even to leftists, but demons control the perceptions of people who don’t know the Holy Spirt, and they give them disdain for the truth.

God has said, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Satan agrees. That’s why he captured our educational system.

I suppose there will be scattered improvements, but overall, it will get worse. It’s nice to see that some people are outraged, but when the dust settles, leftists will still be in charge of your kids, and they will keep doing what they do. It probably won’t be long before the dominant position in American classrooms as that the firing of teachers who celebrated Kirk’s murder was an outbreak of fascist persecution.

A Firearm is Nothing to be Ashamed of

Two days after Charlie Kirk was shot, I have learned I am now allowed to carry a firearm–not just a pistol–openly in at least 32 Florida counties. The relevant court ruling was published on the day of the shooting.

That is certainly interesting.

For a long time, I have suspected that God has chosen to allow Americans to arm themselves. Gun rights have been expanding, and it seems inexplicable to me, absent a supernatural explanation.

Why would God support the proliferation and carry of firearms? I don’t know, but I can make guesses.

1. There are a lot of people here who aren’t doing a great job of receiving God’s direct protection, but he would still like to give them a chance against those who hate Christians and Jews.

2. The tribulation is coming, one of the features will be bloodshed, and the weapons the raptured leave behind, along with those possessed by others, will facilitate it.

People say Florida is a gun-friendly state, and overall, I believe that is correct, but when it comes to open carry, we have lagged behind fierce right-wing strongholds like Washington and Delaware. In fact, Florida was so backward (Or is it forward?), we were in a 4-state group along with California, Illinois, and New York. Right there with us: the crime-free paradise known as the District of Columbia.

How did we get to open carry so quickly?

A local political candidate named Stan McDaniels decided to stand beside a busy road, waving a copy of the Constitution while carrying a pistol that was clearly visible. He was trying to pick a legal fight, and he succeeded. He was arrested and prosecuted. This happened in Escambia County, in the panhandle. About as blue as a ripe tomato.

He said he wanted to take the issue to the United States Supreme Court, but that was never necessary. The Supreme Court doesn’t block open carry. Florida legislators and courts are the problem.

McDaniels was convicted and sentenced, and following his own plan, he appealed. The First District Court of Appeal ruled in his favor, and our Attorney General is not going to fight. In fact, he is thrilled.

Imagine where we would be if DeSantis had lost the election to Andrew Gillum, the homosexual pervert who was found unconscious, naked, and lying in vomit in a hotel room where he and two other homosexuals went, along with performance drugs (Trimix) homosexuals inject into their penises. Imagine the kind of attorney general we would have.

It’s embarrassing for a lawyer to admit, but I am somewhat confused about the law’s status at the moment. I never practiced much in state courts. Let’s see if I can unravel this. My legal opinion is worth what you’re paying for it, so don’t trust me.

Based on a 1991 Florida Supreme Court decision (Pardo), where there is no conflict among circuits, a ruling by one DCA is applicable to lower courts (trial courts) statewide. If there is a conflict, however, a trial court adheres to the position of the appeal court in its circuit.

The McDaniels ruling does not conflict with any other DCA rulings. Unbelievably, it was a case of first impression. What has the NRA been doing with our money all these years?

Conclusion: open carry is now legal everywhere in Florida. Problem: some jurisdictions are waiting for the decision to be finalized, so liberal counties may continue arresting people. That means the only people who can exhale with confidence are within the 1st DCA’s jurisdictional area.

The state has a certain amount of time to appeal the decision. That’s not going to happen. When the period lapses, the law will be binding on every trial court in Florida, with no weasel room for blue counties.

Could there still be a conflict eventually? I guess so. Maybe there are cases currently on appeal in other districts.

I believe these cases would have to be in the appeal process right now, since trial courts can’t send new ones up. They have to dismiss.

The 1st DCA has direct jurisdiction over 32 counties, and sadly, I’m not in one.

My sheriff has proclaimed he will not enforce the open-carry law, and so has the relevant city PD, so now I can go to Walmart with an AK slung over my shoulder if I am so inclined. Unless Walmart posts a sign, in which case they have the legal authority to make me put my gun back in my car. Regardless of the ruling, private citizens and companies have the power to ban guns on their property and thereby offend all sorts of people who like exercising a critical civil right.

Can they ban open carry while permitting concealed carry? I don’t know. If you can ban tank tops, I guess you can ban open carry.

You can tell I’m happy about the ruling. Because I want to display a rifle at Walmart? No. Open carry has an obvious drawback. It has a deterrent effect, but it would put me in a position where I would have to be extremely attentive to my surroundings in order to keep criminals from trying to take my gun. It also disturbs snowbirds and yankee transplants needlessly.

When I carry in a front pocket, I make it very difficult for a criminal to figure out I have a gun, and I also make it hard for them to take. They can’t just stroll by and snatch it.

The Second Amendment is crippled when open carry is banned, because the founders expected us to be able to carry military-grade firearms, suitable for militia service, in public. That means long guns. You can’t conceal a rifle, and Florida’s concealed-carry laws banned concealed rifles anyway.

I’m happy about the ruling because there are many situations in which open carry is appropriate, helpful, and/or important. I’m also happy because a dumb and highly technical law is a bear trap for well-intended citizens who should not be turned into felons because they’re not great at parsing statutes.

The open-carry law has been used as a tool to persecute good people who didn’t think they were doing anything illegal. It was a “gotcha” law. We shouldn’t have laws like that.

I may have violated the open carry law, and I’m an attorney. Open carry is legal on private property. I may have carried openly, illegally, while mowing my yard. In the past, I thought a little strip of property outside my fence belonged to me, and I may have carried while mowing it. That would have been a felony, because I later found out the land belonged to a neighbor.

A neighbor on another side voted for Biden, so he and his wife can’t be trusted to respect my civil rights. What if one of them had seen me out front with a Glock 20 in a Miami Special shoulder holster?

The practical answer is: nothing. My sheriff would have laughed at them if they had called, and no local prosecutor would have gone forward with the case had I been arrested. But I would have been guilty. There are 23 million people in Florida, not all are in sane counties, and even if I was in no danger, other people surely did the same kind of thing, and they could have ended up in the hoosegow.

Although my county is outside the sweet zone for now, because my sheriff and the biggest city police department have already proclaimed their intention to ignore open carry offenses, I am covered, at least in unincorporated areas and the largest metro area. I don’t know what the cops in the tiny towns and cities will do, but it seems safe to guess nearly all of them will go along.

There are only two other town departments here. One is currently letting the sheriff handle law enforcement, so no problems there. The other serves the town where I buy groceries most of the time. I have carried big knives openly there, because this has never been banned. No one cared. I would guess the police department is so small, they don’t think much about press releases regarding changes in the law.

It is interesting that the open-carry law applied to guns but not knives. A big knife is extremely dangerous in a crowded place.

I have been inconsistent, carrying a gun in my pocket and a knife visibly. I wasn’t very concerned about having the knife taken. I live on a farm, and a sheath knife is much more convenient than a folding knife, so I like carrying one. I didn’t think of sheath knives primarily as weapons, but that’s what knives are, regardless of the intended use.

The State’s Attorney’s Office for my county has not issued a statement about open carry yet, but I think I can guess where he’ll come down, assuming he wants to stay in office.

I don’t plan to carry openly, but smart people make some effort to know the law. I might need to carry openly some day, so I should know the law beforehand instead of Googling feverishly under stress.

If there is a funny side to all this, it is that some blue counties got caught in the ruling directly because they are 1st-DCA counties. The county to my north, Alachua, is home to the University of Florida, and it is heavily infected with the woke mind virus. I would guess dramatic performances are in the works. Maybe students and employees will splatter themselves with organic non-GMO ketchup and lie down in groups.

Gadsden County is overwhelmingly black and liberal, and it is also under the 1st DCA’s jurisdiction. Florida State University and our capital are in Leon County, and it is also suffering from the blue flu.

I feel like making predictions. I think that if I go to any big store this week, I will see somebody carrying openly. I think very, very few people will do it. Mainly isolated activists who feel like celebrating.

Will our new freedom result in a crime surge, as liberals are surely predicting? Of course it will, because the ban completely prevented criminals from carrying openly while shooting people, and every state that has open carry is like Mosul on a bad day. Not.

It may help some criminals plan, and there will surely be guns snatched from foolish people who carry behind their backs and so on, but overall, it will reduce crime. That’s my prediction.

The knowledge that some civilians carry concealed weapons does a certain amount to discourage crime, but criminals are generally stupid and impulsive, so some need a stronger hint. I think seeing people carrying weapons will put the fear of God (or at least Gaston Glock) into many of them.

I doubt Florida will start to look like Somalia, with shiny rifles on display everywhere. Normal states that already had open carry don’t have this issue.

The ruling was handed down by a male judge and two girls. I wonder what feminists are saying about them today. I know many are busy celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk in front of his wife and small children, so they may not have noticed the ruling.

MORE

I thought I was right when I said the McDaniels case was a case of first impression, meaning the issue of whether Florida’s open carry ban is unconstitutional had never been considered by a Florida court. Was I right? I’m trying to decide. It comes down to hair-splitting; the reason lawyers have to go to school.

I have since learned that a 2017 Florida Supreme Court case, Norman v. State, held that the open carry ban did not violate the US or Florida constitutions. But there is a twist.

Norman was decided before the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Bruen. In that case, the court did away with a balancing test that was used in Norman. The McDaniels panel referred to this in its opinion. No balancing test, no ban.

So is the McDaniels case a case of first impression or not? The issue of the constitutionality of the ban has been considered before, but the issue of the ban’s constitutionality in view of Bruen has not. Far as I know. If you want a solid answer based on serious research, pay me.

It looks like I was wrong to think McDaniels was a case of first impression because the constitutionality of the ban had already been confirmed, but it’s still a case of first impression because it considers the issue of whether Bruen invalidated Norman. Different issue.

Gun-unfriendly counties outside the 1st DCA’s geographical area are now claiming there is a conflict between the circuits, because the 4th DCA, which decided Norman, upheld the ban. That seems disingenuous (lawyer talk for “dishonest”) to me.

The definition of the term “first impression” seems to be under attack.

I always say this: a law doesn’t mean anything until a court decides what it means. Most laymen don’t know this. If Congress passes a law saying it’s illegal to pick your nose in church, and a federal judge in Chicken Bend, Arkansas, says it really means you can’t open your gifts on Christmas Eve, it means you can’t open your gifts on Christmas Eve, within the court’s geographical jurisdiction. At least until a higher court disagrees.

Courts have been known to misconstrue laws on purpose, in bad faith. This is why there were two Brown v. Board of Education cases. The holding in the first forced Southern states to implement desegregation “with all deliberate speed,” and dishonest judges pretended that meant “very slowly.” The second case cleared this up.

Courts misconstrue laws on purpose, and so do prosecutors and the police. I think the counties that reject McDaniels are out of order.

In any case, it’s the law right now in the 32 counties under the 1st DCA’s jurisdiction, and it will remain so unless other jurisdictions manage to find a way to generate a conflict and get it before the Florida Supreme Court. Even then, it looks like it will probably be affirmed.

The Loving Left Strikes Again

It’s the Sixties in America all over again, just as many people on the left would have it; they think the disgraceful Sixties represent the peak of American civilization. Political assassinations of private citizens are back.

As far as I can tell, you have to go back to Martin Luther King and Medgar Evers to see anything like the Charlie Kirk murder. Leftists tried to murder Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump (twice), and a leftist tried to kill Republican legislators playing softball, wounding Steve Scalise. Also, a conservative nut named Vance Boelter murdered Democrat politician Mark Hortman and his wife and shot Democrat John Hoffman and his wife a number of times. But I can’t recall anyone going after a private citizen the way the killers of Evers, King, and Kirk did. As Charlie Kirk liked to say, “Prove me wrong.” I don’t know everything.

I suppose you could count the kook who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband, although that was a lot like attacking Pelosi herself. It happened in her house.

Going after government officials is, sadly, almost normal. Shooting people for debating at colleges is not.

I wouldn’t count Malcolm X, since he was murdered by his own kind. A black Muslim shot him for exposing Elijah Muhammad’s corruption.

I’m not such a fine person that I get weepy over every celebrity murder, but I was very disturbed by the news of Kirk’s death. It wasn’t just the death of a man; it was a milestone in our nation’s decline to self-destruction. It made me feel hopeless and powerless. Not for myself or my family, but for America and the world.

I was starting to work on my utility cart when I heard about Kirk. I was going to replace an axle seal and bearing. When I heard the news, all desire to get anything done and left me. I had my wife put our son in the car, and we drove to Sonny’s, where I had a cheeseburger while I considered the state of the world.

The Kirk shooting is remarkable in that the intent was to stifle speech and nothing more. Kirk did not hold office. He did not have the power to do anything to anyone. He didn’t run a ruthless, dishonest insurance company that ruined countless lives. All he did was argue with people, a hundred percent peacefully, and work to get Republicans elected. He was shot to prevent Americans from hearing conservative and Christian beliefs and to make it harder for J.D. Vance to win in 2028. He was also shot to terrify other Republican speakers and thinkers so they would stop doing their jobs.

I wonder what Candace Owens, a mother and wife, is thinking today. She’s an antisemite, and I don’t support her, but that doesn’t mean she should be shot on her way into a college auditorium. I wonder what the people at Accuracy in Media are thinking; they put sign trucks on college campuses, exposing Hamas supporters. I wonder what every member of every conservative or Christian college organization is thinking. Also, I would guess that insurance executives are even more nervous than they were last week.

Events will be cancelled. Careers will be redirected. People who would otherwise have tried to join Charlie Kirk with their own crusades will find other things to do. The shooting worked. It will make it that much easier for leftists to flood the world with their Satanic ideology. The resistance has been damaged.

Leftist public figures will not be chilled at all. They will go about their lives as though nothing had happened. That should disturb people. If the left is morally superior or equivalent to the right, why is it that only conservatives and Christians are being impacted?

Why was Kirk shot? According to the murderer, it was because he was against the transgender myth and he represented fascism. The rifle has been found, and the remaining cartridges are engraved with words revealing the cowardly killer’s motivation.

Fascism is definitely a problem in America, because many mainstream leftists are now shameless fascists. Charlie Kirk was an enemy of fascism.

The murderer gave superficial reasons for the killing. The real reason is that Charlie Kirk is more or less aligned with Christians, Jews, and Israel. He was helpful to people God cares about, and he spoke out for Yeshua, so Satan sent spirits to kill him. Satan doesn’t just go after people like Stephen and Paul. He goes after Christians who aren’t very strong. He goes after people who help Christians. He goes after people who agree with us about certain things. He goes after people who sort of look like Christians.

I consider Charlie Kirk a legitimate Christian martyr for two reasons: he was a Christian, and he would not have been shot but for his association with Christianity. I don’t consider him a minister or a man of God.

A friend of mine thinks Kirk is a great Christian because he acknowledged Yeshua at his appearances and defended the faith in debates. That’s not correct. Charlie Kirk was an ambitious man who depended on his own skills to advance political beliefs and, less centrally, to support Christianity. He didn’t prophesy, heal the sick, work miracles, or cast demons out of people. He was a carnal Christian. Debate is carnal.

Debate is not a legitimate tool of salvation. Take it from someone who is very good at debating and whose father was also very good. I debated with my dad for perhaps 40 years, debunking his irrational unbelief and hostility toward God, and I got nowhere. Then the Holy Spirit touched him as we listened to Derek Prince videos in an assisted living facility, and he came to Yeshua without my help.

Debate usually pushes people farther away from Yeshua.

Paul knew this. He was a brilliant student. He studied under Gamaliel, a top religious teacher of his time. He was zealous. He was definitely capable of argument. He told us he considered his studies and pre-salvation efforts to be feces.

He said this:

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Paul healed people, cast out demons, and prophesied. He was bitten by an adder and shook it off into a fire, unharmed. He visited heaven. Charlie Kirk was no Paul.

If argument produces a convert, it will usually be a weak or invalid convert. If argument can bring you in, it can pull you back out, and only the Holy Spirit gives people saving faith. The Bible says so.

Kirk belonged to a Calvary Chapel branch. I am familiar with this brand. I have been to their churches. I know people who have belonged and left.

They permit the activity of the Holy Spirit, but they don’t encourage it, and they don’t consider it essential to an optimal walk with Yahweh. It is essential. Christianity begins with the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, and he perfects it.

None of this matters to Satan or leftists. If it looks like a Christian, it should be killed.

Kirk was a truly exceptional debater. I saw him work a few times on Youtube, and it seemed like there was no topic he couldn’t discuss masterfully. He could think on his feet. He didn’t get flustered. But debating is not an activity that interests God very much.

The disgusting feminist website Jezebel paid witches to curse Charlie Kirk in August. Looks like it worked. Witches have gathered repeatedly to curse Republican presidents. Have you ever heard of witches blessing conservatives or cursing leftists?

Torben Sondergaard has posted a video about Kirk, labeling him a martyr. I think he may be exaggerating Kirk’s Christian credentials a little. He also says Kirk “laid down his life.” My wife saw that and said it was not true. She is right. Yeshua laid down his life. Paul laid down his life. Kirk’s life was taken unexpectedly. He didn’t see it coming, and he would never have sat down in that chair if he had.

Torben is right about one thing: he says we should expect more killings of prominent Christians.

Of course, Christians are murdered all the time. A few days back, Muslims killed 60 in Nigeria. Torben spoke as though murdering Christians were a new thing. It’s not. But murdering us in public in America is new. That seems to be what he was referring to.

Leftists really want to kill us. They are not kidding when they go on the web and fantasize about it before the public. They truly mean it, just as Germans and Austrians wanted to kill Jews in the 1920’s. They’re just waiting for sufficient permission and approval. Those things have nearly matured to the critical point.

Tiktok is now full of videos showing joyful leftists celebrating the murder of a decent man in front of his two small children. One leftist says Kirk’s daughter is safer now that her father is dead. People are literally dancing.

An MSNBC commentator has been fired for blaming Kirk, on the air, for his own murder. “MSNBC” means “Microsoft and NBC.” It’s not a network that operates from someone’s kitchen.

In other news, the MSM has been covering for a genocidal black criminal who murdered a white Ukrainian girl on a mass transit train. He murdered her because she was white.

You must have seen the story. He sat down in a seat behind hers. He stood up, took out a knife, and started stabbing and slashing. He slit her throat, and she died. The he walked around and explained his crime. He said either, “I got a white girl,” or, “I got the white girl.” It’s not clear.

The dead woman wasn’t just white; she looked like a model from a Nazi propaganda poster. She had long blond hair and fair skin like porcelain. She was very beautiful. She was exactly the kind of person you would expect a whiteness-hater to murder.

The murder took place on August 22, and the MSM buried it. The story just came out. If you Google it, you will find multiple sites claiming there is no evidence he said he had killed a white girl. “No evidence” and “without evidence” are things the MSM likes to say when it wants to raise the bar too high and debunk the truth. Unfortunately for the MSM, there is video of the killer speaking the words they say he didn’t say. I’ve seen it.

The murderer, Decarlos Brown, is a career criminal with a dozen or more felony convictions. His mother (no word from dad, of course) says he is mentally ill and the system failed him.

Demons told him to go after white people. Somehow, we are associated with Christianity in the minds of Satan’s children. The truly disturbing thing is that respected media outlets concealed the story (as they concealed the murder of 60 Christians) and then lied about the killer’s confession, which was already in front of the public on video.

We–Christians–are not going to get a fair shake. We have never gotten a fair shake. As God said through me, “The world hates me.” Trusting and depending on the world are very bad ideas.

No one should know that better than Torben Sondergaard. When a state television station offered to film his ministry, he thought the platform would be a big help to God, and then he was victimized with a hit piece so full of lies he felt he had to flee his country.

There was such outrage in Denmark, the government passed a law about casting demons out in front of children; it is now considered child abuse.

Yeshua cast a demon out of a child, and he resurrected a child. The Danes would have had him arrested, just like the Jewish priests who arrested Yeshua and had him murdered.

Look for things to get worse. If you want protection, draw close to God. Get to know the Holy Spirit. Get serious. Try to be prepared for the rapture. See if God will help you move away from leftist areas. We are outnumbered, not just by spirits, but by our friends and relatives.

Curses work against people who are not close to God, so the closer you get, the safer you will be.

Incidentally, I am hearing weird theories about the shooting. Someone told me he thought it was a professional hit job.

There aren’t really any professional hit men, except in intelligence agencies. The idea that you can go to Facebook Marketplace and hire a multilingual genius martial-arts-and-firearms expert who knows how to make radio-controlled bombs and ricin is absurd. It’s not a real career because it’s not sustainable. There are thugs, usually clumsy, who kill people as part of their work, but there are no Jackals or Jason Bournes. They only exist on screens.

I was told the shot in the neck was intentional, to represent silencing a voice. That’s not true. The weapon was a crusty old Mauser in 30.06. It is probably a 5-10 MOA weapon. The shot was fired from around 200 yards away, by a college-aged person who probably doesn’t have a lot of training. He wouldn’t shoot for the neck. He would have shot for the chest and hoped for the best.

It is not likely the murderer took the time to have his rifle rebuilt or that he made ammunition for it, and you would pretty much have to do those things in order to hit someone in the neck with a .30-06 from 200 yards.

A real marksman would probably have picked something easier to shoot, like a precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. You can buy a sub-MOA rifle off the shelf, do zero modifications, use factory ammunition, and shoot very well with 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s smarter than using your ancient, unique Mauser with cartridges you have personalized for the police.

I have a rifle that shot 22 consecutive rounds at or below 0.75 MOA at 100 yards, and I used three different types of factory ammo. Then I had to quit because it was raining.

I think the murderer is a confused, vicious young man who wears women’s underwear and loves Karl Marx. Occam’s razor.

Thank you, God, for the rapture. If I’m not here when it comes, I thank you for saving the people who will be.

“Thanks for Nothing” Would be too Kind

Gloria Copeland is dying from dementia. My wife told me.

She is the wife of prosperity preacher Kenneth Copeland. He is 88. He says he prevented his hair from turning gray by telling it not to, and he also says he and God have a deal which will keep him alive until 2056. He says he will die on his birthday at the age of 120.

While he was announcing the deal, he compared himself to an old car that had been restored, and he said certain parts had been repaired.

He also tells a story about being short of breath while getting on one of his expensive airplanes. He said he sat down and prayed, and God told him he was giving him a new heart.

He now has a pacemaker.

I used to love Kenneth Copeland back in the 1980’s. I didn’t know any better. He mixed the truth with very seductive lies, and he was an excellent speaker. I had had supernatural experiences, so I was looking for preachers who were in the same boat, so they could teach me. I was not able to sift out the truthful ones and discard the liars.

Things got worse when I got a supernatural healing by listening to Copeland. When I decided to find a church, I got a flu-like illness that persisted for weeks. I heard him say I should pray for healing and keep saying I was healed, so I did that. I was tenacious. One day, I walked into the kitchen, looked into the freezer, and saw a dark shape fly out of me and into the freezer. Then it turned and flew out of the house through a closed door. I was instantly healed of all symptoms.

It was my misfortune to get a powerful bit of truth mixed into a gruel of lies. The healing was wonderful, but it gave me the false impression that Copeland was a man of God.

It seems ironic that I got healed and the Copelands have not. I don’t think either of them seriously expected anyone who listened to them to receive a miraculous healing.

Copeland has a protege in Africa. His name is David Oyedepo. He apparently claims to have the same deal with God. He says he will die at 120. He is 70 now, so keep an eye on him for the next 50 years.

I used to listen to Gloria Copeland, too. She is also a fine speaker. Unlike her husband, she has always exuded a false aura of class and serenity. On first examination, she seems wise, mature, and gentle. Now that I think about it, I’ve seen Buddhists who come off the same way, and of course, they go to hell.

The self-righteous act is one of the most annoying thing about Buddhists. You’re supposed to be enlightened, so you act enlightened, and if you make a career of it, people pay your bills and treat you like royalty. And every truthful, perceptive person who gives you the emperor’s new clothes treatment is sloughed off as unenlightened and in need of a few more incarnations.

To be a successful Buddhist authority, you just have to smile constantly, trying to look benevolent, and pretend you’re not as upset as everyone else. That’s really true.

Another great thing about the job is that you never have to answer a question or give intelligent input. When someone makes a remark about Buddhism to you, you can grin and close your eyes, say something like, “Who can make the wind orange?”, or just say, “Yeah, mmm,” in a dreamy voice.

There is a mildly famous lady from Texas who does this act beautifully. She has a calm, hypnotic voice. She doesn’t show signs of irritation or anger. She gives ridiculous advice, like “Stop doing.”

People give her roses at her appearances, and they stand in awe and stammer rehearsed speeches about their own enlightenment process, trying to make it look like they’re “in” with the awakened one, just like she is. They work hard to say the right things, fearing she might expose them as unenlightened.

But, you know. Who can make the wind orange?

To get back to the Copelands, Gloria doesn’t know what’s going on any more. She looks fine. Always elegantly dressed and made up, as in the past. She can talk. But she has to be led around, and people have to explain simple things to her.

If she were not the wife of a billionaire or near-billionaire, she would be in a memory care unit. She will get worse and die soon.

Like many or perhaps all prosperity preachers, Kenneth Copeland has not healed anyone.

Yes, I got a healing, but I was on my own. He never prayed for me. I’ve never been in the same building with him.

I saw a recent video of Gloria Copeland with her husband. Her condition was startling, but it didn’t startle me as much as this: her husband was on the verge of tears as he spoke to her. I was shocked to see that Kenneth Copeland loved anyone other than himself and Mammon.

He makes his living making gullible people poor and buying himself airplanes he doesn’t need while they move in with their kids or go on welfare, so it was reasonable to assume he had no heart at all.

He knows perfectly well that he has destroyed countless lives. The lives of people who had less than he did and gave it to him.

It made me think of my sister, who used to send him money. It may seem odd that a narcissistic sociopath would support a ministry, but then the ministry taught selfishness, and sending money was a way to get admiration, which narcissists love.

Ever notice how sweet and full of admiration salespeople are when you’re buying expensive clothes or jewelry? That’s how crooked preachers and their employees treat people who give them a lot of money.

My sister gave preachers money. Then she quit. Kenneth Copeland’s people called her. They said they were worried about her. They didn’t worry when she was sending them money.

She was going broke fast, because she shopped but did not work. She could have used some cash to repair her house. Although it would not have helped her, a real minister would have offered counseling.

Not one ministry offered to give her back a single penny.

She gave to John and Lisa Bevere. I will give them this: Bevere’s mother called and seemed concerned. Somehow I ended up talking to her instead of my sister. I can’t recall whether I prayed with her.

They didn’t send a refund, however. They weren’t around later to help fund her cancer treatment or rehab expenses. My sister was there for the Beveres. They weren’t there for her.

“Minister” means “servant.”

I don’t know what to think of Bevere. I drove him around for a while when he visited Trinity Church in Miami. I still have his cell number. He seemed pretty sincere, and I don’t recall him pushing for offerings. On the other hand, he was a youth pastor under Benny Hinn, and he was involved in Joyce Meyer’s company. I won’t call it a ministry. He pals around with some truly slimy and dangerous preachers.

Doesn’t the Bible say God’s children should give? If that is true, why is it that when we connect with celebrity ministries, we expect them to take a lot, but it doesn’t occur to us that they might give us anything, even if we have given generously to them in the past?

The disciples had to choose deacons because they were so busy helping the poor.

T.B. Joshua’s ministry gave a lot. When my wife and I took our son to his first pediatrician, we picked a Nigerian. Somehow, we ended up mentioning T.B. Joshua to him. He told us that when his father got married, T.B. Joshua gave him and his wife 40 bags of rice.

Where is my sister’s rice, Mr. Copeland?

The charitable efforts of Joshua’s church were extensive and generous, and he lived in a modest house.

Kenneth Copeland is not very likely to live to be 120, and he will probably be a widow by 90, so living to 120 would really be a punishment.

I won’t prophesy, but I will predict. Copeland’s health will take a downturn, and he will realize he’s going to die. Then he’ll tell the world he decided to go ahead and be with his wife, deal notwithstanding. Either that, or he’ll give up public life and abandon his flock, because he never cared about them to begin with.

Yeshua spoke about religious Jews who were like the Copelands:

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

The Bible says a lot of scary things about those who swindle and those who oppress the poor. It says if you give to the rich, you will come to poverty.

Having your wife lose her mind and die is a very harsh punishment, but when you consider the hordes of people the Copelands and their friends have impoverished, it seems very lenient to me. Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead for much less.

In any case, Kenneth Copeland’s plans and his rich old age have been spoiled, and what’s in store for him afterward is much worse.

The world is really filthy. Most people have no interest in Yeshua. When you try to find him, people who claim to represent him do their best to make sure you find Satan instead. If you’re in one of the old churches, that’s about the worst of it. If you’re in a charismatic church, they also do their best to make you poor. It’s amazing that anyone gets to know God.

God Tells Everyone the Same Things

Last night before my wife and I prayed for other people, I asked her how she was feeling about the way things were going in the world. She said she felt detached.

That’s exactly how I feel.

Her sense is that this world is not a place where we can be accepted and build a future.

You turn on the TV or the PC and look at the world, and what do you see? Homosexuals, including cross-dressers, protesting in favor of Hamas, which has been known to throw homosexuals off tall buildings. Millionaire sluts rapping about their genitalia, saying things so crude, even a sailor would be grossed out. Satanists and witches praying aloud before government meetings. Transvestites reading stories to kids in libraries and schools funded by taxes. Many non-Muslim members of the United Nations accusing Israel of genocide for defending itself against…genocide. Public protests, some violent, against businesses that are Jewish but not affiliated with Israel.

Lesbians in colorful sashes, pretending to be priests, running large organizations that pretend to be Christian churches. Demoniacs vandalizing electric cars because Elon Musk helped a Republican get elected. Violence against Republicans that has become routine. Transvestites performing a big percentage of mass shootings for reasons they seem to be unable to articulate. Ads for Jaguar cars featuring sexual deviants but no cars and no normal men.

My wife watches a family on Youtube. Supposedly, this is a Christian family. She tells me they used to pray and talk about God on their channel.

Yesterday, I saw a video in which they dropped their daughter off at Berkeley, which stands out among schools dominated by left-wing insanity. They were thrilled for her. They toured her dorm floor. They went into the bathroom. It’s unisex. They thought it was funny that their daughter would be using the toilet and showers with young men.

If this is what Christians are like now, no wonder unbelievers are delusional.

I can’t send my son to Berkeley or any other far-left academic nuthouse. Any mainstream university, in other words. Imagine what they would put him through. Lectures about whiteness and patriarchy. Lectures about transphobia. If he stood up for his beliefs, he would be the most persecuted student on campus. He could never fit in or be treated fairly. He would be a target, and he would get low grades from vindictive instructors. He would be excluded from opportunities. He would receive negative recommendations. He would probably be thrown out of classrooms.

We had lunch at Costco yesterday. Costco is pretty woke. They gave us weird cup lids intended to discourage straw use, and they provided paper straws that leak and get soggy. To protect the sea turtles from plastic. In a country that dumps zero garbage at sea.

Before we visited Costco, we took my baby son to the dermatologist. They gave me a tablet so I could tell them his history. They wanted to know his gender identity. This is the second provider that has done this to us. A pediatric facility asked what my son’s preferred pronouns were.

“Detached” is the right word. We are now like disaster tourists. We are here. We observe. We can’t join, though, and we don’t want to stay. It’s like having a day pass at a mental asylum.

Both of us are aware there is no future for our family here within the system. We will live out our lives as outsiders.

This isn’t the old America. I watched World War Two veterans talking about their experiences the other day, and by modern standards, some of them sounded like religious fanatics. Mainstream guys. One said an angel had appeared to him to tell him he wasn’t going to be hurt. That kind of talk used to be considered normal.

The other day, I saw someone on the web suggesting that really smart people should be working to solve hard problems for society. Cancer and so on. As though able people owed society something. Not true.

I thought of what Yeshua said: “The poor, you will always have with you.” More broadly, he meant that the world’s problems were not going to be solved.

Mankind is cursed. It’s in rebellion. Things aren’t going to go as they should during this age, because we consistently reject the only source of real, enduring blessings. We will never have clean, cheap, inexhaustible energy. We will always have disease. We will always have violence and poverty. We will never stop doing the things that cause our misfortunes, so there is a limit to what we should do to fix the world. It’s a treadmill.

Secular solutions have some importance, but our main obligation in life is to expand the kingdom of heaven. Look after your own soul. Do what you can to help others become like Yeshua. Give to people who need help. Deliver people from demons and work miracles if God permits. You’re not really obligated to work 16 hours a day in a lab, trying to synthesize a chemical that obliterates every kind of tumor or cures AIDS.

Mary was right, and Martha was wrong.

It’s more important to help one person go on to eternal salvation than it is to fight global problems which are not going away. Salvation is permanent and priceless. Fighting worldly problems is Whack-a-Mole.

It’s hard for people who are close to God to position themselves so they have the power to do what unbelievers think is good. If you’re a genius Christian, and you try to do groundbreaking cancer research, Satan will probably see to it you end up assisting incompetent DEI hires or teaching biology to bored high school students. Satan’s kids blackball Christians.

It’s even hard to make headway in churches. I tried to work as an armorbearer. I created fantastic food for a church kitchen. I tried to get into prison ministry. I helped drive poor people to church. I shared revelation with people. My pastors and many of the other volunteers treated me like a troublemaker. They crippled and shut down programs. They promoted sychophants and nincompoops and made sure I was always an outsider.

I can’t complain. John the Baptist was a priest by inheritance, and instead of taking a position of honor in the temple, he had to live in the desert and eat bugs. Religious people beat Yeshua and had him murdered, and they murdered the prophets as well as many Jews who believed in Yeshua. A secular Jew whose father built the temple murdered John.

If you belong to God, you can’t join the herd. If you’re part of the herd, and you think you belong to God, you are deluding yourself. It’s normal for Christians to serve Satan and the flesh while claiming they’re sold out to God. Look at Chris Pratt. I could make a long list.

We always want to have our cake and eat it, too, and we are better at lying to ourselves than lying to other people.

My wife and I feel as though the end is just about here, so it doesn’t matter much what we do. America has fallen away for good. But does that mean the rapture is close? The area that is now Turkey used to be the boiler room of Earth’s Christian activity, but it went Muslim, and the world didn’t end. Europe took over the lead role in spreading the gospel, and then it turned on God, and the world didn’t end. Should America be different?

I think it is, because there is no other part of the world that can take our place. When Turkey fizzled, Europe took over. When Europe fizzled, America took over. All the other countries and continents have already been evangelized heavily, and they are not making progress. We’re not going to see China or Africa or India take America’s place.

When Europe faded, the US was ready to step in. Nobody is ready to step in now that the US is spiritually almost dead.

Chris Pratt is an interesting case. Unbelievers in Hollywood love him. He’s a nice guy, and he doesn’t make waves. That last part is important. Satan’s kids often take up for Christians who don’t make waves. If you actually accomplish anything, they go after you.

Pratt makes movies that endorse fornication. The characters aren’t Christians. God isn’t involved in the scripts.

Come on.

He’s a nice guy. A goodfella. A good old boy. Tamed and declawed.

I feel like the world is stuck, like a car that has run out of pavement and gotten stuck in mud. We seem to have reached the end of a journey. None of it seems to matter.

I don’t feel like attending to home repairs, yard work, or my other responsibilities. I don’t feel like planning. I don’t feel like watching our spending.

If the county had forced me to sell my house so it could be demolished, and I were outside waiting for someone to pick my family up and drive us to a new home, I wouldn’t run back inside and start painting the kitchen.

Maybe things will change, the rapture won’t come during my lifetime, and I’ll feel differently about the future. I hope not, though. It would be wonderful to be raptured and forget about this place.

No Wonder God Laughs

Am I the only one mystified by the AI boom? What is the purpose of making AI available to everyone who has a computer, free of charge? Why are they giving it to us for nothing? Where is the money coming from?

Google provides very annoying AI blurbs to every person who uses the search engine, without being asked. Many people look for ways to make this stop. The “feature” is called “AI Overview,” as you surely know. In addition to facts, it delivers erroneous woke lectures no one asked for. It is programmed to shame people who are correct.

It is clearly an effort to indoctrinate and pull people away from capitalism, common sense, and Christianity. We all know the Google kids are far-left social engineers who are against Yeshua; that is not news. But when did they become so militant they were willing to invest billions in a brainwashing feature that doesn’t seem to bring in money?

Why did it even occur to them to include lectures on morals and behavior? It’s very obvious that a person searching for a dry cleaner or a good hotel doesn’t want lectures written by fringe kooks.

Imagine if encyclopedias had done this. Your curious child looks up spider monkeys and gets an article shaming everyone who ever bought a product that came from a rain forest. No one would have bought them, and a set would have weighed 300 pounds.

AI is extremely expensive to produce. You probably know that “data centers” are popping up all over the US. I don’t know about the rest of the world. These are huge facilities full of computers hooked to the web. They consume gigantic amounts of electricity, and I have read they also need a lot of water. Who pays?

I’m not paying. I use Grok, ChatGPT, and Google AI (the one you actually request), and I have never paid a cent. The money must be coming from somewhere.

I suppose I should ask AI.

After a lot of babbling, Grok says:

In short, you’re not paying because companies prioritize growth over immediate per-user revenue, subsidizing free tiers through investors and high-value customers. If you exceed limits or need advanced features, that’s when payment kicks in. This model has fueled AI’s rapid spread but raises questions about long-term sustainability amid rising energy demands.

Grok also says businesses will pay for AI, subsidizing the rest of us. It says that for now, the money comes mainly from existing tech companies and investors.

By the way, you can fix your browser so you don’t see AI Overview. It’s like physically ejecting an angry, demented hippie from your living room.

Interesting fact: Google just reduced the frequency of AI Overview intrusions due to consumer annoyance. People don’t like being scolded. Wow. Who could have foreseen that?

The data centers I’ve seen in photos look like enormous, out-of-place warts on the landscape. They remind me of the machine-built structures we saw in the Matrix movies. They also remind me of hostile spaceships I’ve seen in movies about alien invasions. They seem threatening. Their presence announces the arrival of their age and proclaims that they will eventually cover a lot of the earth’s surface.

Basically, they tell me humanity’s ludicrous, pathological efforts to create shared omniscience will increase and become extremely oppressive.

I believe I’ve received revelation about technology.

To begin with, Satan has no Holy Spirit. Unlike God, he is neither omniscient nor omnipresent. Through the Holy Spirit, God can broadcast all sorts of things to all Christians. He fills us with information. He debunks disinformation. He gives us the gifts and fruit of the Spirit: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, interpretation, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, humility, and self-control.

Most people who call themselves Christian don’t get much of this. Most churches reject the Holy Spirit. It’s all available, though. God hasn’t changed.

If Satan wants to copy the Holy Spirit for evil, he has to rely on agents that are sent. Little spirits and people. He can also use things like the printed word, video, and audio.

Through technology, Satan has been building his counterfeit Holy Spirit. He uses phones and the web to indoctrinate, slander, curse, tempt, instigate, and so on. Electronic connectivity has been very helpful to Satan in his efforts to corrupt us and harm us.

Consumer-level AI is a big leap forward in Satan’s efforts to control our minds and emotions. It can disseminate Satan’s wokeness around the clock, even to people who have no interest in it. It can generate the illusion of a reasoned consensus that is actually a tapestry of lies and distortions intended to make people reject holiness and God and rely on machinery and other people’s apish conceits.

We copy the Internet slavishly. We get our slang, which is a powerful indicator of whom we follow, from the Internet. We follow disgusting people just because other people follow them. We buy things people recommend on the web. We migrate to and away from Internet platforms along with the herd. As AI does its work, our beliefs will become more and more homogeneous. The Internet will play the tune, and the world will dance, like Orwell’s Proles, exercising in front of their telescreens.

Technology helps fill us with demons. We can get porn free of charge around the clock now, and it gives demons the power to enter us. We get types of porn other than sexual porn. We get cruelty porn. Violence porn. Pride porn. Covetousness porn. We get secular entertainment which seems harmless yet fills us with demons. Even the news helps them get in.

Smith Wigglesworth said this about newspapers: “If I read the newspaper I come out dirtier than I went in. If I read my Bible, I come out cleaner than I went in, and I like being clean!”

That is still true today. Think of all the lies we’ve been told.

Reagan didn’t do anything for AIDS sufferers. AIDS is a big problem for heterosexuals. Tawana Brawley was raped by white cops. George W. Bush, not local politicians, was the reason for Louisiana’s poor response to Katrina. George W. Bush invaded Iraq to take the oil. There were never any weapons of mass destruction. Iraq never had enough uranium ore to create weapons. Polar bears (aquatic) are drowning because the ice is melting. Oil is running out. Ethanol is good for the environment. Paper bags are better for the environment than plastic. Obamacare will save you money. George Zimmerman is a murderer. Michael Brown was a good boy who didn’t attack the police. Antifa doesn’t exist. Donald Trump is in cahoots with Russia. Donald Trump defrauded banks. Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer. Donald Trump is an antisemite. Joe Biden isn’t demented. Joe Biden is sharper than ever. Donald Trump is demented. Joe Biden never discussed his son’s business or met his contacts. Voter fraud is rare. Homosexuals don’t prey on teenaged boys. Transvestites are women. There is a famine in Gaza. Israel, not Hamas looting, is the reason some people can’t get food. Gazans are innocent victims of Hamas. Israel targets hospitals.

The Holy Spirit tells everyone the exact same things. There are no opinions in heaven. There is only the truth. God has no opinions. Through the Holy Spirit, he fills his people with truth. He is against the ridiculous notion of “healthy debate.” Where there is debate, someone is wrong. God is righteous, which simply means he is always right. Because he wants us to be righteous (in one accord with him and each other), he tells us the same things.

Satan is somewhat different. He doesn’t always tell people the same things. He creates Christian denominations that disagree, along with other religions. He tells some people to be atheists. He gives people differing and conflicting believes and urges. At bottom, though, he is consistent in that he always tells people things that bring disunity and pull them away from the Holy Spirit.

AI has started behaving like a god you can talk to. I think everyone has thought about talking to God and getting answers on demand. This is something we crave. We love seeing people do it in movies. With AI, now you can get answers to all sorts of questions, very quickly.

Yesterday, I asked a question about a brewing machine I bought, and AI gave me a brilliant, long, detailed answer that could have been written by an expert brewer. It read as though a human being with a personality had written it. It took a few seconds.

AI generates wrong answers all the time, but it also generates excellent answers that would take human beings hours or days to create.

It is trying to simulate omniscience.

By simulating omniscience and a global consensus, AI is applying the main tool of the spirit of antichrist: peer pressure. Satan works through the voice of the crowd. We are supposed to look up for guidance, not to the side. By preaching wokeness to billions simultaneously, Satan is creating an astroturf consensus that will drag people into its wake. We are herd creatures, and Satan uses that to destroy us.

To belong to God, you have to be willing to be unpopular on Earth. This isn’t my opinion. It’s God’s truth. He said it himself.

AI is being used to take people who don’t know the Holy Spirit and merge them into a shoddy replica of a global consciousness. Like Star Trek’s Borg. The data centers are like big nerve clusters that generate and disseminate the thoughts, emotions, and desires new generations are generally going to adopt.

I don’t know if you will own nothing and eat bugs in the future, but thanks to technology, you are very likely to be even more of a conformist than you are now. People who will read this will generally be against God, and such people will be obsessed with fitting in and being popular.

If you think human beings can fix the world, you disagree with God.

I don’t understand people who crave popularity, but apparently, it is one of humanity’s strongest drives. I saw an old video of high school students a day or two back, and when they asked kids what they were most afraid of, they mentioned not fitting in. That amazed me. How can that be anyone’s biggest fear? It’s sick.

If you have to be afraid, be afraid of God. Failing that, pandemics. Nuclear war. Car wrecks. Death. Disease. Poverty. Heights. Clowns. Being afraid you won’t be popular is evil, and it says there is something badly wrong with you. You have no moral anchor.

Everyone has a certain amount of desire to be accepted, but it shouldn’t be the center of your being. I don’t want to know people like that. They are disgusting, not to mention dangerous. They will always side with the crowd against its victims. They turn on people they claim to love. They are born liars and traitors. They’re like the kids who turned their parents in to Hitler, Stalin, and Castro.

I suppose this explains the “likes” craze. People will do things for worthless likes which they would not do for their own children.

Leftists are promoting the creation of a huge communal human organism. We are all supposed to be part of it, sharing the same beliefs and drives, working together to achieve left-wing goals created through central planning. It’s inexcusably naive. It’s practically psychotic.

I don’t want to be part of the communal organism. You can’t be part of the communal organism and also be part of God’s family. The communal organism will always pit you against Yeshua, and you owe him complete loyalty.

It will be interesting to see what happens as the data center plague covers more and more of the earth. Human individuality appears to be on the way out.
