My sister just contacted me asking me to plead the Blood of Jesus over the whole family. She said God has been revealing things to her all day but she is not allowed to discuss it. She seemed manic and asked me not to probe. So I’m afraid she is having another episode again. Please pray for her and the family for whatever this is. Thank you!

Hi Folks,

As we age we consider end of life matters more seriously.

Recently I have come to understand a foundational truth that helps to put death into perspective.

I have come to realise that when God created man He designed them to be fit for purpose - and that purpose was to be eternally in fellowship with Him in heaven.

We see a hint of this in Ecclesiastes "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end."

So all mankind has 'living in eternity' built in and this is the intended outcome.

However Satan fell before the temptation in the Garden and hated the eternal purpose and status given to mankind and so waged war against God's purpose.

So loss of conscious awareness will not cease at death for two reasons. First because it is inbuilt in man for consciousness to continue, second how can we have a crowd of witnesses that are all asleep.

So the fear of death is a lie which all unbelievers are under.

Death itself is just transition, not to be feared.

Sadly many believers struggle with this.

Maybe if helps to understand that we are designed for eternal survival.

However when our creative Father saw the fall would happen, implemented a plan for our rescue by sending Jesus to reverse the consequences of the fall for those who believe.

As to the issue of 'soul sleep' it is a non issue if we realise that eternity is independent of time as we know it, so the witnesses consciously watch from the eternal realm.

Back in chronology, all will be resurrected to judgement when our earthly body substance will be transfigured to our new eternal bodies.

We were told not to fear the one who wants to destroy our bodies, his power does not extend to destroying our souls.

So take heart - He always wanted a people in eternal fellowship with Him - believe and you will be there with Him in a flash.

You were designed for it.

Hi folks,
I have started learning Yiddish on Duolingo about a month ago. It is a really fun language. Sounds cute sometimes. When I finally had managed to read all Hebrew Letters correctly, I was so impressed , how easy understandable in reading and writing this language is for me being a native speaker of German in Austria. Most impressed was I because of severel words that are said today almost the same way in dialects in parts of Austria, like עפּעס or אונדזער . Both words are almost the same in my own dialect èppas inser.
Since the new Netflix mini series Unorthodox, Yiddish came more into focus recently. I didn't start learning the language because of the series however. Planning to watch it though soon.
So all in all, I thought there might be some other guys here with whom I can try chatting in Yiddish or simply talking about learning the language. And your experiences with it.
Yours
Timothi

Is transgenderism a product of cause-and-effect?

If so, I'd like to see how science justifies this sinful practice -- (assuming they do).

And if it hasn't been justified yet, what exactly are scientists looking into that would cause this to happen?

Can a person become a transgender against his will?

On the other hand, if not, then what does academia attribute this to?

Hello everyone and christian forums…Please pray for my son…he struggles with harm ocd…and it goes far enough to the point of thinking thoughts of harm and taking the lives of others and young ones. He doesn’t want to engage in these terrible thoughts, but the intrusive thoughts still come in. I know my son is a loving child of God, and good people love him. Please pray for deliverance from our Great Physician. I wish there were an easy cure for mental illness. God bless everyone. Peace love comfort and protection to us all in Jesus name

Great read...and likely a similar story as many "left-leaning" but otherwise formerly reputable news organizations.

I used to consider NPR a rather reliable source before they took a nosedive in the shallow end of the pool. Here's my favorite excerpts...

Is America, as progressive activists claim, beset by systemic racism in the 2020s—in law enforcement, education, housing, and elsewhere? We happen to have a very powerful tool for answering such questions: journalism. Journalism that lets evidence lead the way.
But the message from the top was very different. America’s infestation with systemic racism was declared loud and clear: it was a given. Our mission was to change it.

....

Race and identity became paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace. Journalists were required to ask everyone we interviewed their race, gender, and ethnicity (among other questions), and had to enter it in a [COLOR=var(--color-accent)]centralized trackinghttps://www.poynter.org/reporting-e...s-npr-to-track-source-diversity-in-real-time/ system. We were given unconscious bias training sessions. A growing DEI staff offered regular meetings imploring us to “start talking about race.” Monthly dialogues were offered for “women of color” and “men of color.” Nonbinary people of color were included, too.

Thoughts?

What's your view on abortion? AZ has passed NO ABORTIONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Man uses liberals to sexually harass women...

No seriously, that thing that basically all conservatives said would happen when liberals passed laws to allow men into women's only spaces like restrooms and locker rooms and showers....keeps happening in these establishments that have allowed men into women's spaces.

"It’s a man, but he says he identifies as a woman, and he won’t leave the restroom," the 911 caller told an emergency dispatcher. "But he is just walking around showing us his — and he won’t leave."

I recall posters saying this wouldn't be a problem because "what kind of man is going to claim to be a woman just to use the women's restroom?" Fortunately, there's a picture of the deviant for those who posted such things in the past.

I know that some people here will doubt it....but I've even seen posters suggest this is the problem of the old lady who called 911 and the 17yo girl who felt "uncomfortable" with this man in the women's locker room. Before anyone suggests that this man isn't supposed to be in the women's locker room....note that he did say the magic words "I identify as a woman" so according to policy, both of Planet Fitness and this administration, he should be able to use the women's locker room.

Thoughts?

Im not proud to say it, but for some reason I remember where I was when the "Bronco chase" was broadcast.

What a horrible case. And man. I totally think he did it. But also I understand how there was room for reasonable doubt in a black jurors mind given demonstrated racist behavior of some of the investigating cops as well as well known examples of evidence planting in certain LA neighborhoods.

He was a pretty good footballer, I will admit.

O.J. Simpson's death, reactions, cause of death and the murder trial

Who would have thought that blocking the natural development of children would have significant lifelong consequences?

That study, and Professor Grossman's comments, bring into question the 'reversibility' of puberty blockers — a key claim of the trans campaigners who promote the drugs and say they 'pause' puberty and buy time for trans kids to make decisions about their gender.

I have to wonder if parents are ever told that these drugs are completely experimental and have never been used to treat "gender dysphoria"....and now they know, that long term use can sterilize children. Remarkable.

WPATH recommended this stuff...and that's why trans activists shouldn't be devising their own treatments.

Thoughts?

Edit-this study has yet to be peer reviewed.

A little study to help determine how we should take care in declaring, "clearly this is true."
I found it interesting, having spent a little time studying philosophy, looking at what the Bible says is "certain." A lot of philosophy consists of trying to figure out what we can be certain of. Philosophy considers important things like sensory experience, or things in the world relative to our sensory organs, along with our subjective experience.

I found the following passage interesting, in this regard, because it talks about things man kind can universally find certain, even though there remain unbelievers. Strikingly, Paul finds no contradiction in a certainty in "seeing" the *invisible God!* In other words, subjective experience is virtually as certain as what our senses perceive!...

Rom 1.20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen/non-turbid [kathoratai], being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

So we can "clearly see" what is invisible about God! We should not be afraid to declare things of faith even though they are unseen.

We see this clarity also in the river of the water of life in the New Jerusalem...

Rev 22.1 Then the angel showed me the (pure/non-turbid) [katharos] river of the water of life, as clear/splendid (lampron) as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.


The following passages indicate things are made clear as a logical deduction based on appearances (deelos). We should not be afraid of making *logical deductions.*

1 Cor 15.27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear (manifestly evident) [deelos] that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

Gal 3.11 Clearly (logically) [deelos] no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”

2 Tim 3.9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear (apparent) [ekdeelos] to everyone.

Heb 7.14 For it is clear (obvious) [prodeelon] that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

Heb 7.15 And what we have said is even more clear (apparent) [katadeelon] if another priest like Melchizedek appears.

2 Pet 1.14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear (made apparent) [edeelosen] to me.


The following passages indicate that things are clear as a demonstrative manifestation. We should try to make something obviously true, as well as logical.

2 Cor 11.6 I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear (manifestly evident) [phanero] to you in every way.

Col 4.4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly (self-evidently manifest) [phanero], as I should.

Phil 1.13 As a result, it has become clear (self-evidently manifest) [phaneros] throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.


Another form of making clear is something previously documented. We should be ready to back things up with Scriptures.

Gal 3.1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed (previously documented) [proegraphe] as crucified.


Another form of making clear is something revealed. We should recognize that clarity requires divine revelation.

Phil 3.15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear (reveal) [apokalupsei] to you.


Another form of making clear is verbally asserting or declaring. We should recognize that words can have power to make clear.

1 Tim 4.1 The Spirit clearly says (in words) [retos] that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.


Another form of making clear is explaining or interpreting. Making clear can be a studied exercise.

Heb 5.11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear (difficult to explain or interpret) [dysermeneutos} to you because you no longer try to understand.


Another form of making clear is to point out or visually show. Visuals are important to prove some things.

Heb 6.17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear (visually show/physically prove) [epideixai] to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.


Another form of making clear is via the symbolic use of a sea of glass with crystal transparency, as well as to the New Jerusalem, with a splendid/non-turbid river. The Bible uses symbols to show the importance of purity in clarifying things.

Rev 4.6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal [krystalio]. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.

Rev 21.11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal [krystallizonti].


Here, the crystal is connected to its splendid clarity.

Rev 22.1 Then the angel showed me the (pure/non-turbid) [katharos] river of the water of life, as clear/splendid (lampron) as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.


If this helps nobody else, it helped me! I'm not well-acquainted with Greek, but even the novice can make certain deductions from the manifold internet resources!

Glory to Jesus Christ!

I have a question for my EO brethern: How do the EO view the concept of doctrinal development?

Do you consider this a valid category for talking about the history of dogma? Is it commonly appealed to in theological discussions? If not - is there a particular objection you have to it?

(I'll see if this passes the site's basic filtering guidelines.
I am concerned about what Christians perceive as our shared reality, lying, and the moral-ethical
effects of embracing conspiracy theories.)

When Trump demands that all who get his political support, must uphold his lie that the 2020 election was stolen with massive fraud (despite Trump's inability to find any substantive evidence for this), you MAY think that this is merely a perverse pagan aspect of American politics. OR, merely an artifact that non-Christian Americans hold who have no idea what reality is, or how to demonstrate that a personal opinion/belief is actually TRUE.

BUT,
given that many Trump supporters have swallowed huge conspiracy theories (some of them believed by ridiculous and twisted and oppressive groups through history), American Christians must come to a different conclusion.

American (and worldwide) Christians must conclude:

1 there is a shared reality
2 misrepresenting this shared reality, is what the Bible calls "LYING"
3 in Judaism and Christianity, LYING is a serious sin, and no continual liar will enter the kingdom of God
4 This means that Christians have a moral-ethical OUGHT to be very careful about what they call "reality", and have a moral-ethical OUGHT to carefully demonstrate that a proposition/opinion/belief is TRUE (according to evidence from our shared reality), before declaring it as a fact.

Donald Trump, despite his massive financial resources, has been unable to find ANY credible evidence that the 2020 election was stolen by massive fraud. His dozens of lawsuits trying to establish this assertion, have been rejected by judges as not containing ANY substantive and relevant evidence for Trump's claim.
---------- ----------

An average non-Christian American, who may not feel any moral-ethical OUGHT to carefully search out which opinions/belief/gossip are TRUE, and which are FALSE, may respond with a dismissing "So what?"

BUT, for Christians, this topic of embracing conspiracy theories, without carefully researching what is TRUE, is a matter of embracing continual lying, or rejecting patent systems of lies. This choice involves their future, after the final judgment, for ever.

The anti-intellectual Protestant Fundamentalists hardened their rejection of the intellect, and formal logic, during the European Enlightenment, and the emergence of modern science (100 years before Darwin lived). They rejected the goodness of the intellect, as a theological "slogan".

The embrace of conspiracy theories by many anti-intellectual Christians, underlines how a terribly dysfunctional theological trend, can lead to views of our shared reality, that have taken complete leave of our shared reality.

Anti-intellectual non-Christians, also fall into the same epistemological pit. The anti-intellectual blind, are trying to lead the anti-intellectual blind.

I am trying to point out that THIS IS NOT A SIDE ISSUE, THAT DEALS WITH MERELY PERSONAL PREFERENCES. Anti-intellectual Americans, who are not Christians, but who embrace conspiracy theories, suffer the same crippling effects as many of Trump's religious supporters.

Continual lying -- misrepresenting our shared reality -- will get us condemned at the final judgment. As the Bible presents to us, "There will be no liars in the kingdom of heaven."

This is not a simple case of political preferences, or personal opinions. Donald Trump is claiming an alternate reality, for which he has no evidence.

Christians have a moral-ethical OUGHT, NOT to embrace that other fantasy reality.

This is the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ and his NT apostles taught. But it is not what is commonly being taught today, at least not here in America. For this message has now largely been altered or not even referred to at all. For it has largely been obliterated and replaced with a message intended to tickle itching ears and to not offend the ungodly, and to be friendlier and more acceptable to the world and to human flesh. And this is deliberate, this demise of the truth in order to now replace truth with lies.

And this has been orchestrated at high levels, because this is what is being passed down from those in high up positions to those beneath them who are then passing a “new gospel” and the destruction of the old gospel down to their people. And this is widespread across the USA, and perhaps in other nations, as well. For this isn’t just about replacing the old gospel with a new gospel, but it is definitely about destroying the gospel that Jesus taught and that the NT apostles taught so that they can replace it with something new.

And since I am a teacher of the truth of what Jesus taught, as best as I understand it, by the grace of God, I do get opposed on a somewhat consistent basis when I teach what Jesus taught and what his NT apostles taught in contrast to what so many are teaching and are accepting today as “the gospel,” but which is just a replacement for the old gospel. For so many today are not teaching that we must deny self, die to sin daily, and walk in obedience to our Lord or that we will not inherit eternal life with God.

Even if they do teach true repentance (turning from sin) and obedience to our Lord, the way those are often being taught today are in a way in which they make them more optional, i.e. recommended, but not required for salvation from sin, and not required for eternal life with God. And others teach that we do not have to turn away from our sins and that we do not have to obey our Lord’s commands, for they call that “works salvation.” They say all that is required is “faith,” which is not usually biblically defined.

Therefore, the “new gospel” which is replacing the “old gospel” does not require biblical repentance (death to sin) nor walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commands, as required by God for salvation from sin and for eternal life with God. They do not require that we forsake our former lives of living in sin and that sin no longer be our practice. For they teach God’s grace as merely forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life with God based on a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ once in our lives.

But Jesus Christ said that if anyone would come after him that he must deny himself, not continue to live for self and in sin. And he said that we are to take up our cross daily. And when Jesus took up his cross it was to put our sins to death with him. So if we take up our cross daily it means that daily we are putting our sins to death with Christ, that we are dying daily to sin and to self so that we can now live for God and for his righteousness, in the power, strength, and wisdom of God, by the grace of God.

And then we are to follow Jesus Christ in obedience and in surrender of our lives and our wills over to the will of God for our lives. As his followers, our lives no longer belong to ourselves, but they belong to God, and he is now to be Lord (Owner-Master) of our lives, and we are to serve him with our lives in doing whatever it is that he has called us to do. For we are now his possession and we no longer have mastery over our own lives. He is now Lord of our lives and he is to be the one directing our lives, not us.

But if we should choose to ignore his teachings and to go our own way, instead, and so we choose to hold on to (to save) our old lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if for his sake we deny self, die daily to sin, and we follow him in obedience to his commands in holy living – all in his power, strength, and wisdom, by the grace of God – then we will not lose our lives for eternity but we will have eternal life with God. For what does it profit to gain the world but to lose or forfeit oneself?

Then, lastly, Jesus stated (in these verses) that if we are ashamed of him and of his words, that he will be ashamed of us when he returns to judge and to take his faithful ones to be with him for eternity. For, even though many make verbal professions of faith in Jesus Christ, not many truly know God/Christ as Lord and as Savior of their lives, for they do not obey him. And so they will hear him say, “I never knew you. Depart from me you workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:21-23; cf. 1 John 2:3-6)

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24]

In his message "Trembling at the Word of the Lord", CH Spurgeon says,

"There is a song the Jubilee Singers used to sing, which begins, “Swing low, sweet chariot.” I am sure I do not know what the singers mean by the expression; and so I give it a meaning of my own, and say that I am right glad when a promise swings so low that I can get into it. Surely a promise from God is a chariot lined with love, drawn upward by winged steeds, which bear our hearts aloft; and it is a mercy when it swings as low as this text: “To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

Note he says " I am sure I do not know what the singers mean by the expression." He then proceeds to give it a meaning of his own, which is good, but not what I've always thought the song to mean.

I note others give it spiritual meaning as Spurgeon,

"Jones describes Swing Low as a signal song: “On one level it’s about people hoping they can escape their misery by riding on this imaginary chariot to heaven, but another clear meaning is the idea that the chariot is a metaphor for escaping to freedom."

Another says this:

"Willis, who worked near the Red River, may have been reminded of the Jordan River and the death of the Prophet Elijah. The lyrics “Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home” are reminiscent of Elijah in 2 Kings being taken to heaven in a chariot."

I don't know about the death of Elijah, but that's the meaning I always figured. It's possibly more symbolic of the rapture hoped for.
And there were the African American origins, which some think had a hidden meaning about being freed from the oppressor:

The double meanings encoded in “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” are believed to be the Jordan River as representative of the first step to freedom from slavery, “home” as Africa, and Jesus as anyone who helps bring the enslaved to freedom

"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a traditional African American spiritual song that originated during the period of slavery in the United States. It is believed to have been created by Wallace Willis, a Choctaw freedman who lived in the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the mid-19th century
The song is attributed to Wallace Willis, a slave from Oklahoma; his inspiration was the land beyond the Ohio River.

(Of Course Spurgeon didn't have internet!)

Hi everyone. I really need your prayers. For a month and a half, almost two months now, I've been struggling with a pretty serious knee injury as well as some pretty bad struggles with my mental health. I've received the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick due to this as well as some other health issues, such as my asthma, that I've been dealing with a couple of times in the past month or so. I have good days and bad days but every single day is at least somewhat of a struggle. My depression has been pretty severe at times but not to the point of needing hospitalization thanks be to God. I should also mention that I lost my SSI and Medicaid so I am unable to get to the doctor. I'm waiting to get my Medicaid approved again but it's taking a long time.

Part of the reason why I've been depressed is loneliness because my husband is working two jobs to pay our bills. I've also been overwhelmed with trying to keep up on taking care of my son and our apartment practically by myself which normally isn't much of an issue but it definitely is when my physical and mental health isn't the greatest. I've managed but just barely. Another issue is that our son is having some behavioral issues. We're getting him in with mental health professionals but his appointment isn't for a couple of months for the psychologist because of a wait list. He also has to get an autism screening but the waiting list for that is an entire year or more and they haven't yet scheduled us. I'm also experiencing a lot of scrupulosity which is something I've struggled with for a long time.

Anyway, if you would please keep me in your prayers, I'd greatly appreciate it. I could use the extra support.

Frances Collins wrote a book on how DNA is the language of God. He tends to be a Theistic Evolutionist even though he is very busy and often does not have time to think things through.

Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), made a decision to lift a three-year moratorium on funding controversial research involving genetically altering viruses in ways that could make them more contagious, more deadly, or both. This type of research is known as gain-of-function experiments. Dr. Collins’ decision to lift the moratorium has sparked debate among scientists, with concerns about biosafety, biosecurity, and the balance between potential benefits and risks.

As director of NIH he approved the money for the research on the virus that escaped the Wuhan lab and caused the pandemic. He retired after that although I think Biden fired him. For me the whole thing has payola written all over it. Otherwise if his reputation had not been tarnished he would be a leading expert and he does have a web site on theistic evolution.

Hey everyone. I could really use some prayers. I'm really struggling with my mental health lately. Part of it is because my physical health hasn't been the greatest. I lost my SSI and my Medicaid and I have several health problems that I really need to see a doctor for but can't because we can't afford to pay out of pocket. I did reapply for Medicaid in the hopes that I can get approved again but it's taking forever and my injured knee is not getting any better. Neither are my other health issues. I also can't afford to buy most of my required medications out of pocket. I lost my Medicaid and SSI because Social Security says they overpaid me by $3000 and now they are demanding that I pay it back.

Another problem that I am having is behavioral issues with my son. I don't want to go into detail about it but we're getting all of the help we can. We're getting him into a psychologist but they don't have any openings until Summer. He also has to get screened for autism. That's all of the details that I feel comfortable providing.

The last thing that is causing my stress is the fact that my husband is working two jobs which leaves me to take care of our apartment and our son practically by myself. It also causes me to be quite lonely because I crave the time with my husband. Sadly, it's necessary that he works two jobs because if he doesn't, we won't be able to pay the bills. I can't work at all because of my disabilities.

Anyway, please keep me in your prayers. I'm really struggling.

There is no medical need for breast implants.

Breast implants are bad for your health,
and may need to be removed later.
The body rejects them.

It’s like those old ads with doctors telling you to enjoy
the smooth mild taste of cigarettes.

Proponents have framed ESA as the hallmark of parental choice. Critics fear having state money follow students to private education will further deplete public schools already in need. Some rural lawmakers noted their districts don’t have any private options to offer public school students.

In addition to private school tuition, the ESA money could be used for school uniforms, tutoring, textbooks and computers.

When fully implemented, the ESAs would provide $7,500 per year for each student from families with household incomes that don’t exceed 250% of federal poverty guidelines and at least $5,100 for all other enrollees, including those from wealthy households. The amount of the ESA increases to $15,000 for students with special needs.

I'm all for school choice with a voucher for each child.

We need to pray for Israel right now! I just ran across this video online, it looks like Iran may attack Israel within the next few hours! Iran has a huge missile force and they may launch them at Israel! I am praying now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbse6FCwj5o

I want some advice for this topic. Basically, I'm unsure whether or not Christians should make videogames like we do movies. But with that to say, If you do, then you still have basic access to all the other games with immorality in the sense of sexual promiscuity, violence, language, and others among these.

Do you think Christians should make/develop Christian videogames?

And with that to say, if Christians should then should it be blatantly Christian or just videogames with Christian values?

Christian videogames would need to have the quality mainstream ones have but morals and story-lines we can trust.

I’m almost 50. It hurts hearing men say that women hit the wall (which means get ugly) around 35-40. It also hurts to hear that men don’t want to date us because we can no longer have babies. It’s like I’m useless now. No one will ever want me.

I used to hear from others that I was pretty a lot and now if I tell someone my feelings hurt because I was called ugly no one says anything to refute that.

From the linked letter:
"Since 1797, twenty-one individuals have been impeached by the House of
Representatives. Trials were held in every single instance, except once when an impeached
judge resigned from office before trial commenced. Absent Secretary Mayorkas’ immediate
resignation, this impeachment should remain faithful to Senatorial precedent."

I fully agree that the American people deserve to hear the evidence against Mayorkas.
