They like it even better because it conveniently silences the other Satanists who might be inclined to rat them out.

I never saw anyone paying attention to any of the stupid one-way arrows in any store I was in, even when it was new. The only thing left at most places now is the little "6 feet apart" markers on the floor near cashiers, people hop from one to another like children in school.

Stand outside their window where they can see you while you talk on the phone. My mom went to visit my son this way, drove to his house and sat outside where they could see one another from his window to visit over the phone and it really encouraged both of them. They've since relaxed to regular unmasked visiting.

Wish I had advice, at this point I'm just trying to wait out their delusions so they still feel "safe" but the one I'm waiting on is not elderly so I don't have that to factor in. I did manage to get my older parents back in the family circle by simply visting them. They started out hesitant with masks in the yard, but by the end of the visit the masks were off and they were accepting hugs. The following visit they just came in the house like normal life again.

It would be a start but I'd put that number lower.

It really makes me proud of our country - can you imagine all the good we could be doing to care for our own infrastructure, needy, etc. if we weren't being constantly beaten down, cheated, sucked off of and otherwise abused by other countries and corrupt media/politicians? What other country would still be standing after this much abuse for this long?

You have access to concordances and Biblegateway, etc same as anyone else, why do you require me to do your homework? Here's a starter for you, "Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was." - Romans 16:7.

Ohmigosh, we've got to get them over here, that's absolutely amazing.

That's not Apocrypha - it's literally in Paul's epistles in the New Testament. Yo.

Junia (who Paul considered an Apostle), Priscilla, Mary, Phoebe,Tryphena, Julia and others would certainly be quite surprised to hear that.

Look up what the Greeks also thought about how the human body worked and the four humours. The etymology of a word based on disproven 'medical' theories from a time when people also got their life advice from a drugged oracle is hardly something to stand on.

Uh, no it isn't. Paul is very clear that it is his own opinions about women leading and that he is not speaking from the Spirit when he offered that advice. Jesus (who notably outranks Paul) said there was no difference between Greek, Jew, male or female. The concept of Satan or eternal condemnation is never brought up in the context of any such leadership discussions, not even with Paul.

Found the legalistic folks. Read up on early church history, especially the first four hundred years before it lurched into male-only leadership. Plenty of women at the beginning and the early Church leaders had no problem with that.

I am so sorry, it really hurts to have to leave your church family, I hope you find a new home soon. This really sucks - I've seen it infecting other churches as well, thankfully my own is still healthy thus far.

Wow, God bless her efforts! Raising her four boys to be strong men and doesn't want to send them out into a socialist country. Nothing like a mama bear to set things right.
