From the time I was born I heard the stories of friends betraying friends, of people not standing up for what was right and of fear for self taking precedence over love of their fellows. I learned what the end result of that was: a loss of freedom, integrity and in the end the death of countless millions of innocents.
I am seeing it again.
It beings in small ways. A liberty or right put on hold or discarded for what is called the greater good. Only the relative few stand up and cry foul. The rest are afraid to be 'implicated' and stay quiet. It might rub off on them they think.
I've now seen that in my own life. Friends abandoning me out of fear or hatred of what I stand for.. Well, greater people than I were abandoned and denied in history, weren't they?
I have spoken out and tried to educate out of love for you. Love for my fellow man and love for liberty and freedom for all mankind and it has been rewarded by the majority with denial and abandonment.
I see so many elders from Germany and elder Jewish survivors of Nazi Germany warning about what is going on now in America. They see it very clearly. Do you?
I realize this post will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes but I post it for your good, not my own because in the end it is all about you and your liberty to live, think, speak, worship as you choose and not as you are told to do.
I leave you with this:
First they came for the CommunistsAnd I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
I am truly sorry for what has happened to you on FB. Not sure in what way we can help or stand up for you on facebook. Is there some place to file a complaint? I wasn't on FB much yesterday and didn't find out until after it had happened. I am really tired of all the stuff going on and not even sure how to respond at this point except to pray...and VOTE! What I have found on facebook is when I do take a stand, people who never comment on anything good that I write will come out of the woodwork to attack me negatively. They sit and wait for someone to pounce on. I'd rather not give them any food to sink their teeth into as they are vampires looking for blood. I prefer to do my battles on my knees before the Lord, and let Him fight these battles for us. And then be sure to vote. We are just casting our pearls before the swine when we try to speak up in their arena. You know Facebook is not a place that is ordained by God to be His messenger. He has many other ways to get His message across. That's why we pray first. Then act according to His direction.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Annie. I might not ever know what being Jewish truly means, but I do know what being Patriotic and a Christian means. Being a Christian means not turning the other cheek when you know deep down the wrong doings going on around you. I am firm believer that God wants his people to fight against evil, evil is real and evil is all around us. I better leave it at this.
ReplyDeleteI. see. it. Thankful for your friendship my friend, love you dearly.
Love you to pieces my friend. Thank you so much.
DeleteWell said and much needed.
ReplyDeleteI see it too Annie. The Left are devil worshipers and quite proud of that now. They're much more open than in recent previous times. For now, I pray for them in Jesus' name and do all I can to speak out for the truth.
ReplyDeleteI've been targeted by the 'cancel culture' too. That's to be expected. The Apostle John wrote by God's inspiration, "So don't be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you." [1 John 3:13] That's what's been happening all through the centuries. Christians and Jews are always the first to be killed, imprisoned, silenced. When it's time to water the Tree of Liberty again, may the LORD use me to help. As Thomas Jefferson said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
God bless ya fellow Patriot.
I have never seen a time like this...of such open disdain and vilification of all that is decent , honorable and patriotic ...and that is just in Congress !!!
ReplyDeleteWrong is wrong , even if everyone is doing it . Right is right , even if no one else is doing it .
Be safe and well , my friend
