Republican politics is killing churches

[Shawnster]

Republican politics is killing churches... Only because the stereotypical Democrat already stopped going decades ago

Are churches being killed?  I feel like I have seen a lot more religious fervor in recent years.  

 

On social media I follow people for fashion, sourdough etc.  A lot of the more homesteader sourdough people tend to be churchy, republicans.  The fashion people tend to lean democrat.  At least that's how my algorithm is showing up....I never heard either one talk politics until recently.  I unfollowed one of the sourdough people because she started sharing stuff from some religious convention in Texas that was for women only.  I looked at what the convention was about.  It was encouraging the christian woman to get into politics.  The female speaker even mentioned that people use the excuse 'Jesus didn't get involved in politics' and then basically said Jesus isn't here and he is giving women a voice to bring the church into government.  It was eye opening to see how the evangelical movement justifies what they do.  Like I said, it was an IG clip and I unfollowed after that.  I was just there for sourdough content.  LOL

 

What is weird to me about the religious right is how they are against homosexuality, gay marriage etc, but then you see them wanting to accept 'everybody' into church because 'Jesus loved everyone'.  And of course the left has been shoving the alternative lifestyle into everyone's face for years.  "If you don't accept me as I am, you hate me".  

Swaying with the wind, getting their ears tickled differently each day....The left and the right literally just cannot seem to stand each other any more.  They are violently opposed.  Now it looks like the same thing is happening in Germany.  What they call 'radical right' is gaining power which will just cause more deep division.  

I think it will be fascinating to see what brings both sides together enough to give power to the beast.  Lately I've been wondering more about the AI angle because it certainly doesn't seem that it will be social issues.

Religion is on an upswing in the US, at least. It will probably be the last gasp before they are destroyed [hopefully].

When political ads come on TV, I change the channel long enough for the political ad to end.

 

After the pandemic, the first meeting the CO had with the elders and ministerial servants, the CO asked a question, "Who won the 2020 presidential e election?"  When I mentioned this to my son, who is favorable to the witnesses, said, 'it doesn't matter.'  That was true in one way.  It really doesn't matter because it is just human governments.   But the CO revealed his reason for asking the question.  Some witnesses had started to doubt the guidance of the Governing Body due to Donald Trump's lies.  I believe it was the Wall Street Journal that kept tract of Donald Trump's lies, and they had totaled over 30,000 lies in his first term.  Donald Trump's lies, amplified and repeated constantly by Fox News had corrupted people's thinking.

“Amygdala Hijack" helps us understand how the Fox brainwashing process happens. Fox “News” targets the Amygdala with a fear-based …

 

Brittany, are you okay? 🤔😂

A real Christian looks like a  Republican to the Democrat.

They simultaneously look like a Democrat to a Republican.

They look like a mysoginist to a feminist and at the same time a misandrist to a mens-right activist.

They look like an individualist to collectivist and a collectivist to an individualist.

A true Christian isn't a Zionist but Nazis despise them. They're also anti-Semitic to a Zionist 

Fanatics call them heretics and atheists call them fanatics. 

 

Why? Because every ideology and man-made philosophy on this earth is a perversion of one of God's characters. So there's some good in it.

There is an elder in the congregation I am in that has been baptized for over 50 years.  He considers himself to be apolitical (neutral).  He admits to watching Fox News Network and talks just like the Republicans I worked with before I retired.  I also have relatives who profess belief as Jehovan's Witnesses.  They watch Fox News and they also talk like Republicans.  

Yep my father who is a ms servant in his congregation wastalking to  a brother that was wrapped up in that mess spouting those political talking points he told me he had to hang up the phone on him...the brother apologized the  next day

It's just my opinion but I think it's a slippery slope to look at politics for signs to confirm we are in the Last Days.
