21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
(Old Testament l Revelation 9:20-21).
A blog for the END TIMES begun May 1st 2022 bearing witness from God's WORD concerning the true nature and condition of mankind WITHOUT CHRIST and the FIERY TRIALS that can purify, all of which counter the romanticized, blinded philosophies of men like those promulgated by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jeremy Griffith, and many others.
16 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods (Old Testament | Deuteronomy 31:16–18).

“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. It is no mere chance that our older universities developed from clerical schools. Both churches and universities — insofar as they live up to their true function — serve the ennoblement of the individual. They seek to fulfill this great task by spreading moral and cultural understanding, renouncing the use of brute force.Re-ed Assignment:
“The essential unity of ecclesiastical and secular institutions was lost during the 19th century, to the point of senseless hostility. Yet there was never any doubt as to the striving for culture. No one doubted the sacredness of the goal. It was the approach that was disputed.”*
1. Journal your thoughts about the above quote by Albert Einstein.---------------------------------------/
2. Write a pro and con assessment of why coerced re-education does or does not constitute a form of “brute force.”

5 And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.
6 Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land;
7 And as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil.
8 I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free.
9 Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn.
10 Wherefore, honest men and wise men should be sought for diligently, and good men and wise men ye should observe to uphold; otherwise whatsoever is less than these cometh of evil.
11 And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all good, that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God.
12 For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 98:4–12).

“An Enemy of the People (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende) is an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen that delves into the conflict between personal integrity and societal norms. The play centers on Dr. Thomas Stockmann, who discovers a serious contamination issue in his town's new spas, endangering public health. His courageous decision to expose this truth brings severe backlash from local leaders, including his brother Peter Stockmann, who is a powerful political figure in the town.” | (Bold emphasis added.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Enemy_of_the_People2) After reading or watching a film adaption of the play, ponder and journal whether you can observe any parallels between contamination of a water supply and the dilution / denial of rights and freedoms. Ask yourself: Did I take the side of conscience or of coercion? Did I rule in favour of personal integrity or of fluctuating, oppressive societal / cultural norms? Did my denial of appeal further the agendas of tyranny or of freedom?

▪ Don’t they [the powers and the people] know and should they see it?
▪ Have we forgotten our true [foundations]?
“The very fact of being in office and being a leader may change a man’s mind in many ways. Often he removes himself more and more from human problems and from the people he represents and thinks only in terms of national strategy, official ideology, and the aims of power politics.”3) Ponder and journal for at least three hours, how this book might apply to the CPO / SCJ-O / SCC / Jordan Peterson case and other similar cases of mandated / attempted Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing.
