As I mentioned in one of my previous prayer requests, I was engaging in evangelization on a secular forum site; however certain things that happened last week that caused me to finish my campaign and focus on getting a job and finding my future spouse. Several times in the past on here, people have commented on how, while we should all try to evangelize and save souls when we can, some of us shouldn't obsess too much about it in these dark times. This past weekend, I've started thinking about this passage of Sacred Scripture:
"Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time."
-Amos 5:13 DR
While I do plan to start evangelizing once an opportunity presents itself; and will continue to pray for the conversion of many people, like my parents and brother, Kevin Franklin, Bradleigh and the like. I'm thinking of focusing more on finding a job and my future spouse, as well as overcoming the last of my sins.
Additionally, I think it's very important in these dark times that we pray for our brothers and sisters that they remain firm in these difficult times and don't give up. I was speaking with an email penpal of mine yesterday, and she talked about a lot struggles she was having which made me worried about her being able to handle to what's coming; and last night, I had a dream about a certain Catholic I know online, (Andres is his name, I don't know much about him, but I have seen some questionable things from him, though again, I don't know enough.) losing the Faith in a very bad way.
I hope I didn't ramble too much in this.
I'll definitely pray for people who are Leftist, even the most brazen / dangerous.
Will continue with The Golden Rule.
But I've decided I won't try and humor them, or behave as though "it doesn't matter, we're still friends."
We're not.
By their decision, we are not friends.
Friends don't intentionally inflict harm, or threaten to.
My best lifelong friend (conservative and vocal Trump supporter) is still willing to interact and "be friends" with the opposition. Perhaps she's got a better heart than I, or I'm wiser. Unsure which.
Otherwise I'm avoiding. Truly avoiding.
A school principal in Michigan was fired for simply acknowledging who our President is.
The shark's been jumped before this, and I've exited the water.
As my post implies, I probably won't be able to hang around and discuss and debate things here, but I'll try to stop by and discuss things if I can. This isn't meant to threaten anyone or anything, but I would like everyone here to think about these posts; I am of course, aware that some of you have thought about this stuff before.
You're free to draw your own conclusions.

Don't bother with me, I'm just a narrow-minded bigot who does nothing but "proselytize" not because I actually love the Faith, because no one loves the Faith, we're just "using it to justify our bigotry." If you see any thread by me on here that isn't "proselytizing," I can't explain that because that's obviously impossible; because again, all I've ever done on here is "proselytize."
WP is the 2nd worst forum site I have ever been on.

Anyway, the focus on practical aspects of life (job, spouse) you declared is a prudent move. I wish you luck with it (honestly, I do).

Have it your way then, if people just want to dismiss all this and engage ad hominem attacks on me, they’re free to do that. (These actions by the way, really just expose the narrative on here, that either, the Catholic Church is evil and has not one ounce of goodness in it and has done nothing good at all; or, as has been implied by a couple of other posts on here in the past, that the Catholic Church has enabled the source of all evil in the world, namely, humanity itself.)
I look forward to not putting up with such gems as “what about the passages in the Bible about not wearing garments sown with different fibres?” Which quite frankly, is about as intellectually shallow as me asking, “why are Americans anti-confederate? They rebelled against Britain, they should be pro-rebellion!”

How about this gem then? I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7 -- she's only 6, but fairly bright for her age and a good worker. What do you think would be a fair price?
Mr Greatshield may be the first Catholic but is not the first.
8,10 years ago evangelism was quite common in the PPR forum,mostly Protestant fundamentalist but none the less quite common.
I actually saw a born again Evangelical post in the Woman's forum a few months back.I don't normally check that forum but the post was on the new post list on WP homepage.
In the last five years evangelism has become quite rare in PPR but GS has the right to get his message out if he wishes.

You know, whenever I watch and listen to various right-wing commentaries and the like, and I hear certain things; I always thought that what I was hearing was merely inflammatory rhetoric. I always assumed that, at best these commentators merely misunderstand what people were saying and at worst, they’re just refusing to show respect to their opponents; and when these people say things like, “they hate God!” again, they were just engaging in inflammatory rhetoric.
However, after being on here, I have come to the realization that even here on WrongPlanet, with the exception of a few individuals like Bradleigh; the majority of people on the Left, really are as disrespectful, as dishonest, and as depraved as those right-wing commentators made them out to be. I guess it’s no surprise, you can’t practice vice virtuously and frankly, left-wing policies are not based on love, compassion and mercy; left-wing policies actually hurt people and ruin lives.
I guess that it’s just as well that I’m done here. My biggest flaw is cynicism and thus, being here would obviously exacerbated my problem. So I’m off to go fulfill my vocation.
Farewell.

Yes Magz,I fully agree people have the right to argue there points and I think that's great.
However when arguments turn to clear trolling and ridicule that becomes a problem.Now we have lost another member because people thought it fun to ridicule someone.We have lost what,15 members in the last month because of trolling.
When will they ever learn?
