It's sad to know that something like that could even happen in our country - I mean doctors and nurses getting fired for not getting a vaccine. This used to be a free country where people could think whatever they wanted to and voice it out loud without fear. We could raise our children in whatever way we thought was best. We could choose how we would discipline our children. We could choose what religion we wanted to follow or choose no religion at all. We could choose to get insurance (of any kind) or not to, and we could choose to get medical treatment or not to get it. We could choose to have our baby at home or in the hospital or to die at home or in the hospital. We could choose to smoke or not to, to wear seat belts or helmets or not to, etc. Most of all, we didn't have to fear repercussions for our choices.
People were free to voice what they thought and others didn't get all bent out of shape because someone disagreed with them or because someone voted differently than they did. Oh certainly there were debates, but there wasn't the rancor, spite, and anger and hate because of it like there is now. That's why our country was called the land of the free. Our freedoms are being taken away from us one by one and most folks don't even realize it. The very fact that some people were fired because they chose not to get a vaccine will eventually cause even more of our freedoms to be taken away, because that will now be used as a precedent in the courts. It reminds me of one of the men I took care of back in the 90's. When someone would be made to do something they didn't want to do, he used to say, "This country used to be free...what happened to it?" At the time I didn't realize how right he was.
More and more I see how sly Satan is and how he has blinded people to the Truth. I don't mean just the Truth about God, but about Truth in general as well. If you read the Left Behind books, or saw the movies, do you remember how Buck Williams, the reporter, was going to some conference so he could write about what the Antichrist was up to. At that point, they had just realized who the Antichrist was. They warned Buck that if he wasn't saved when he went there, the Antichrist could overpower him. Thankfully he got spooked before going into the conference and got saved, because every other person in the room other than him, believed what the Antichrist told them happened instead of what really happened. The Antichrist had taken a gun from a security guard and killed one of the dignitaries and then told everyone that it happened another way. Buck thought the rest of the people were simply repeating what the Antichrist said out of fear, but eventually came to realize that they really believed what the Antichrist had told them to believe.
That's very much like what I see happening every day, although not because of "the antichrist" (but you could say it's because of many antichrists). Children and teens who've been taught the truth are now spouting what their teachers have told them is true - that there are hundreds of different sexes and you can choose which one you want to be and that it's normal for women to have sex with women and men with men, etc. And all kinds of other ridiculous things. Worse, their parents are buying it too! But only those who have never been truly saved. God, indwells those who really belong to Him, really does protect us from Satan's lies - which includes all the worlds lies because he's the author of all of them. Someone who's really saved may question things, but then they turn to their Lord and to His Word and He guides them into the Truth. It's turning to Him and to His Word daily that protects us. Prayer and His Word are our offensive and defensive weapons and our armor.
It breaks my heart to see so many led so far astray and be so very lost, and most of the think they're still going to go to heaven! It's also upsetting to see where the perversions that are now part of society will eventually take our country. This isn't anything new. It's happened before. It happened in Greece and in Rome and in some very advanced Indian tribes in South and Central America. Each place where it happened had been a great and powerful country, often known for their knowledge and wisdom. But after the perversions were accepted as "normal" that country fell. I wonder how long the Lord will allow this to continue in our country before He pulls the plug on us. I'm very glad this didn't happen until I was already a "senior citizen", because I can hope I'll be gone before it gets even worse, either through death or the rapture. I don't want to be here for the end.
I have to remind myself that there is hope. We can tell people the truth about God and pray that He will save them. I know every single person that gets saved will eventually realize the truth about everything else as well, as they daily pray and study God's Word. We can also hold Bible Studies in our home to help people know the Lord and His Word better. And of course we can pray for those we know. So hold onto hope for our friends and loved ones and keep on praying! Our God is an awesome God of love!

I agree with everything you said, Cindy, especially about being a senior citizen and not wanting to be here much longer.
I've been watching and praying for the Rapture a very loooooooooong time, since 1967. A classmate and I used to discuss the Rapture way back then. He is a missionary to the Yanomamo Indians in Venezuela.
All of the end time signs are in place, every country is in massive dept, morality is long gone, this world is setting on a powder keg, and the vast majority think any little trouble will pass and things will go on as normal. Wow.
I'm going to keep on praying, watching, working, and looking up for our Blessed Hope!

I would love to do time as you do Oliver!! Leonard (hubby) can get by on 5 hours of sleep....... arrgghhh!
But here is one thing: Sometimes I am not able to sleep for 48 hours ( or even add a plus to that... 50 hours)
Soooooo I need double ( well a LOT of the time, to his 5 hours, which would be 10 hours).
Sometimes in the middle of the morning, and again in the afternoon, I just keep falling asleep.
BUT...I really really wanted to go to church today!!!!
And don't you just know.... the pastor at the Calvary church we attend ( and no doubt, the Baptist pastor also...)
Ahem (not amen)
They followed the:
steal an hour( from meee (: rule bah humbug!
And since I am no doubt the oldest senior here I 3rd the:
" I don't want to be here much longer!!
Cindy: I know every country that went down the sad and terrifying path our country is on.... was ruined from the inside out.
But did those countries, ever have schools with most of the children and teens in them?
and they constantly taught a whole generation This terribly sad path??
And not just one thing but the big bang is taught as Scientific FACT I just got the book by Yan T Wee titled;
Darwin's Universe From Nothing by Nothing For nothing survival for nothing
Yee is a Baptist pastor in Singapore
And then you have evolution being taught as FACT
Both are attempts at doing away with God.
Of course, since the Bible is absolutely crystal clear that God created male and female (ONLY) and God did NOT make a mistake and put a person in the wrong body...
And so, they are pushing trans BIG time!! But they do not give half, or any of the potential horrific results
( and there are a LOT of them)
But no, the teachers never mention them, only how great it is and how you will finally be happy.
I wonder if those failed empires, countries etc. had such a massive influence on the major youth population.
I guess Germany did with their youth, against the Jews So maybe?
Did most every child got indoctrinated and brainwashed, every day, endlessly in the past...like now? Or has Satan ramped up big time, his lies and deceptions?

It about wokeness and PC you can't make jokes anymore about race and sex that why lot of comedians refuse to do comedy tours on college campus I'm sure there will be some comedians soon that love sin and the college kids will love them.

Wow. I'm going to keep on praying, watching, working, and looking up for our Blessed Hope! Wow, you started even before I did! I believe the year I first learned about it was 1972 or early 73. I was in high school at the time and a friend took me to a conference at her church about it. It was awesome!And one more thing, I don't go on daylight stupid time. I've stayed on standard time for the last several years and my pets and animals and I love it. LOL! Wow! Does your state not use Daylight savings time, or do you just do it by yourself? I'd love to do that, but it would really mess up things with appointments, which we seem to have a lot of lately.

Yes, Both Greece and Rome had schools. They weren't exactly like our schools, but most of the children did attend them. Only the poor didn't go because the parents did have to pay for their kids education. Some kids were taught at home, and then sent to the school each day when they got older. It depended a lot on how much money the parents were willing to spend on their kids education. Girls didn't get the formal education outside of the home, but they picked up a lot from the guys just by listening to them talk. Unlike our schools, they went to school 7 days a week from sunup to sunset, so it was a long day.
I have more knowledge of the schools in Rome than the ones in Greece, but what little I do know of those in Greece is that they were similar to the Roman ones. I believe that Rome basically used the ones they saw in Greece as a model for their schools. So yes, most of the children were brainwashed. Eventually even the poor kids who were home schooled by their parents if they had any schooling at all, got brainwashed due to peer pressure.
Remember what God's Word says: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9–10)
If you want to know more about Roman schools, I found these links which looks decent. They're both OK, but there's some problems with both, especially the second one, but it's still worth reading.
OH we start book the Revelations very timing here at my church LOL!
That's fantastic!

Cindy: I forgot to say, I completely and totally agree with everything you said!!!!!!!
It really is so sad! I know it's been incrementally coming, To me, it seems like the 60's was a turning point for the worst.
Of course, we have always had sin since the beginning but the birth pangs for the end times ( though I did not know it at the time, I think satan really began to ramp up evil!!)
So in another way, it almost seems like:
I went to sleep one night, and woke up in a nightmare world!! It is moving so fast now, it is hard to keep up with how massive evil is and the poor deluded people that are so lost!!

I will look into it more, but I wonder if they taught gender fluidity LBQ etc. etc. trans and so on or were they teaching math, language, science and so on?
I am not sure most people know how off the charts this teaching is in schools?
Most learning is now deemed: racist..white supremacist only sex and environmentalism, darwinism, Critical race theory etc. is the main portion of what is taught
yes, there is still language and band, art etc.
But the rest... math, science, history ( well critical race theory history) but what we learned.... not so much

About 70 launches were detected towards the Golan Heights area ~~~~~~
30 additional launches from Lebanon towards open space on the Golan heights were detected, bringing the total launches since the morning to 100. ~~~~~~
VIDEO:
It used to be called "Times Square" in New York. Today it is another mosque.
~~~~~
VIDEO:
A Hezbollah asset of 3 story building that the IDF attacked in southern Lebanon earlier today. ~~~~
Arab reports on Israeli F-15 flights over the entire airspace of Lebanon. ~~~~~~~~
The IDF determined the death of 19 years old Itay Chen, a 7th armored brigade soldier who was kidnapped on October 7th to Gaza. ~~~~~~~
The official number of dead abductees is now 34 out of 134. ~~~~~~~~
1967 - 380K people 2005 - 1.3M people October 2023 - 2.1M people This is the official number of people in the Gaza Strip by years. odd, When they committed genocide against the Jews, our numerical amount decreased and did not increase. ~~~~~

That's exactly what my neighbor says too!

But the rest... math, science, history ( well critical race theory history) but what we learned.... not so much Barbara, I don't know what words they used to call those things, but I know for sure that they did all the things that are happening today. Homosexuality and abortion were going strong in Rome before it fell; they also had a strong women's rights movement going. Men pretended to be women and dressed and acted like women and were called by a woman's name, and women dressed and acted like men and were called by a man's name. They also used little children as sex toys and bought little ones as slaves so they could use them that way. Of course some used their own children. I'm sure the children knew what was happening around them. None of this was done in secret. It was done openly. Even more openly than what's happening here now, although I'm sure it went through this stage as well. Thankfully we haven't gotten that far yet, but we will!
I wasn't there or in the schools so I can't say for sure what was taught, but I believe God's Word and He says absolutely nothing is new, it's all happened before. About Noah's time He says that every thought of every person except those of Noah's family, was totally evil. Thankfully we're not there yet either but we will be. Look at what Hitler did. That too isn't happening again yet, but it will. What about the time of Lot? Remember how ALL the men, young and old, came and did their utmost to get to the angels because they wanted to rape them? We haven't gotten there yet either, but we will. It will be that bad during the Tribulation. So while I don't know the terms that were used in the past for all the things that are happening to today, or how the children were taught about it, I do know what God says, and I believe Him.
“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9–10)
“Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.” (Ecclesiastes 3:15) ““Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:26–30) “The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.” (Genesis 6:5)
“Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”” (Genesis 19:4–5)
Cindy, I stay on CST on my own here in NW FL. Only have handful of appointments during the year so thats no problem. That's great you can do that. Once things settle down here, I may give that a try too. Our state talks about doing away with it every year it seems but so far nothing.
