well, I think it is important to remember when we take sides, we are taking the sides of the Truth as revealed in the scripture. we are not taking sides of political party or a particular political ideology lastly, ends don't justify means, we need to make sure when we take sides, we do it the Godly way.

what is your take on "free Britney" movement?
Equippers replied to Equippers's topic in General Discussion
yes, you are right, we all make mistakes. But the issue here is whether there is a pattern and if so why. As an outsider, i can only speculate, but I get the impression that Britney's mental health condition is putting her in danger of making bad decisions all the time, that is why she was put in the conservatorship in the first place. -
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a34113034/why-longtime-britney-spears-fans-are-demanding-to-freebritney/ honestly, for me I can see things from both sides. i read somewhere that Britney Spears was forced to have a intrauterine device put inside her to prevent her from getting pregnant. I just thing that sounds extremely invasive, no wonder Britney doesn't like it. But at the same time, given her mental health issues, I can understand why her father thinks it is a bad idea for her to have more children at the moment. I don't know, I read that Britney Spears want to have more children with her current boyfriend. I personally think Britney Spears is living by her feelings and not exercise sound judgement. what do you think?

hello you asked a good question. I don't know how to answer your question properly. I think Joyce Meyer preaches a lot of good things such as forgiveness and spiritual battles. yes, there has been some of her messages in the past that made me uncomfortable but I don't think we should be throwing out the baby with the bath water so to speak.... but I do agree with you in a sense that if a pastor is writing books that contain false gospel that they know tickle people's ears to sale books, then that is wrong.
-
hello firstly, I think your should be careful of what you read online, not all sources are credible I also think there are quite a few rich pastors, for me it really depends on what is their source of income. For example, Joyce Meyers' income comes from her book sales, there is nothing wrong with that. I would have problems if the pastor's income comes from congregation donations.

do you really think their intention is to create chaos and anarchy on purpose, or it is because they really believe there is something racist about police as an institution as defunding the police is the way to address this issue? btw, I too agree defunding the police is complete lunacy, but I am not sure if they are doing it on purpose to create anarchy.

well, I guess they could try to influence people through the court of public opinion. but given how corrupt the mainstream liberal media is, I have no idea how effective that is going to be.

are you referring to Voter ID law? what is wrong with that? here in New Zealand when I go voting I have to show mine ID as well. how hard is that?
-
yes, unfortunately, their opinions do not count in this matter....
-
Ok.... so you mean Republicans on their own is not enough to hold it off?
-
do you know if they are able to carry it out with only a slim majority in the senate?
-
no America should not forgive. it is time for conservative to stand up and push back on "wokeness" as hard as they can.

Husband was kicking our cat
Equippers replied to bornagain2011's topic in Have a problem? Looking for advice?
how do you know if your pastor is not a sociopath also? i was just watching this video on Youtube where Ruth Graham (Billy Graham's daughter) says her fourth husband was a pastor/counselor but basically some kind of sociopath himself ( i am paraphrasing here, but her fourth husband, at least according to her) was not a nice man. -
it is hard for anyone to forgive when the media is so polarized and intend to stir the up for the sake of ratings and ideology.

anyone here seen the Meghan Markle's Oprah interview?
Equippers posted a topic in General Discussion
To be honest, I don't know what to make of it. though one thing stood out to me in the interview was when she said Archie should have been given the title "prince" and the protection that come along with it. She mentioned the Royal convention decrees that a grandson of the reigning monarch should be given the title. But here is the thing though, Archie is not yet a grandchild of a reigning monarch, but a great grandson (until prince Charles ascend the throne) anyway, this is not the first time this happens, as Prince Edwards' two children, who are "actual" grandchildren of a reigning monarch, were not given the title "prince" or "princess" as well, and Meghan must know this. So it can't be a discrimination against Archie! anyway, below is an article from the New York Times on this issue. Bear in mind New York Times, for all intent and purposes, a far left publication now, so they can't be trusted to provide unbiased facts. I thought I state this because many things talked in the article varies to my memory of the interview (though I can't be sure my memory is 100% correct) but it is still worthwhile to check it out https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/08/world/europe/archie-prince.html -

listen, i know it must be incredibly difficult to see Trump lose. to be honest, the future are looking very depressing for Republicans in the US right now but you know, as hard as it is accept it, things are only going to get worse.... just look what happened with the senate election this time, my impression is many incumbent Republicans got reelected with smaller margin than ever before. there are even talk of possibility of Georgia turning blue. here the thing, you watch Fox right? so you must know the future is stacked against conservatives because 1 US demographics is fast changing, the reliable voters the Conservatives count on, the older white voters are ever shrinking, where as reliable voters for Democrats, Hispanics are increasing at a very fast pace. 2 Not only that, the younger generation of voters, the millennial, have proven themselves to be reliable Democrats voters. This is significant obviously because the older generation of white voters is going to die out soon. 3 The liberals has pretty much got their stranglehold on just about all aspects of US society, in particular the education system that is shaping the next generation of young minds, and the mainstream media that is shaping public perception on things. Now those two factors alone ensures that one, the next generation that coming up after the millennial will be even more liberal, while the liberal strangle hold on the media helps to re enforce the brain washing of the younger generation, not to mention help to change the mind of many of the older generation. Not only that, the strangle hold by liberal media basically allows the media to create a and maintain false "dominant" narratives about Trump and Republican in general This is why i found it incredibly frustrating when i brought up this point earlier in the year as one of the reason why I thought Trump would lose, i was shot down. I knew the mainstream media was going to be one of the main reason that will cost Trump the election. I knew this because i have seen first hand how they did this to Bernie Sanders, both in 2016 and 2020. They just kept painting this false narrative that Bernie, or Elizabeth Warren could not beat Trump, despite the polls clearly indicated otherwise. And that was not the most scary thing, the scary thing was all the mainstream liberal outlets were repeating the false narrative, so when one searched internet, that is all you see, which create an illusion of being true. Now, I think in Trump's case, it is a bit different because at least the conservative media is largely on his side. However, the sheer number of liberal media outlets far outnumber the conservative ones, they basically overwhelm the conservative media outlets. obviously this is not going make much difference to the conservative voters who already made up their mind. But what about the independent voters that Trump needed to get reelected. So I knew they were going to do this Trump. In fact, as you many have noticed, they have been doing this for the past four years, and this is very insidious because it is like the drip drip drip effects, all those constant misrepresentation of Trump day in day out was bound to erode independent's voters' confidence and perception of Trump, and it did. Not to mention they served to work up the Democratic base. I read a few days ago that many Democrats senate candidates have received unprecedented amount of donations to unseat the Republican incumbent just proved my point. by the way, i just want to let you know that while I am a Bernie Sanders fan, and if I am a US citizen, i would probably voted for Biden because i personally believe he is the lesser of the two evil but i take no pleasure in Trump losing, because i do think he did a good job standing for many biblical values...... whatever i said about Trump did not come from a place of the desire to bash him, i was simply trying to stating things as i perceived them. as a matter of fact, part of me sympathize with Trump because I really thought the mainstream liberal media did a real hatchet job on him, and as a Christian, i felt it was not right. and part of me is rooting for Republicans to take the senate again this time, because i think Biden's power need to be checked.

i have got so many slacks for predicting Trump will lose, well, looks what happened! I WAS RIGHT!

well, if it is true, that would be great, but i don't think so.
