Rejecting social norms -an experiment

Well, it's a lot about brains, research, that the state decides over you, space research, sex, that there is no soul, artificial intelligence, that you have to scroll your mobile for news, that you have to be interested in politics, etc.

I turned it all down, I've only been strength training and singing, like I've been doing since I was 15. 40 now.

I often meet people they call npc along the walkway, they feed someone with a lot of strange things about their body language. Everyone denies that they do.

Every time I've been to the grocery store, they think I'm just a little behind, so they feed someone with everything they know. Actually, they don't know anything, but that's the norm. Recently, a foreign girl said and fed me that the state owns my body, I felt I had to fight for my freedom then. Recently, she thought that I was just a little behind one, so it was very strange that there is no soul, the eyes just pretend there is one and that they might be able to fix that I have some gray hair with gene therapy. I noticed her becoming violent, but I just looked at her like she was insane.

People also stare because I'm just myself, there was someone who tried to convince me that she wasn't insane also because she followed society. Actually, she was insane, I saw that, I think a lot was because she scrolls news on her mobile, but I didn't say anything.



It started as just as an experiment really, I didn't want to be used as a piece of meat only, but it's fascinating all the violence and the abuse. I still don't see the point in the future, people are just mad at the store, and it's not like you get the obstacle of finding aliens fixed because you're limited by the speed of light. I firmly believe that I have a soul too. Now it must be said that I have a physique and the ability to sing far beyond what the future can bring, I think I have actually gained some followers. I don't care much about the violence, I'm smarter and stronger anyway, mostly sleep well even though I can be annoyed at times because they fuss about the future, but it's been fun

Dangerous winds for my son

I saw that my son has dangerous winds where he is. It says to stay away from windows. Please pray that God will protect my son Jakeb and Lyric from the wind and that they are safe and not cold. Dear God please protect them. Please let them say in contact with me. Please allow them power so they can be warm. I love You Dear God and I love You Dear Jesus. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you all.

Head of Iran's Bank resigns amid protests. Reports of security force and protestor deaths. Trump: if Iran "kills peaceful protesters," we will come

The resignation of Mohammad Reza Farzin was reported by state TV, as hundreds of traders and shopkeepers rallied in Saadi Street in downtown Tehran as well as in the Shush neighborhood near Tehran's main Grand Bazaar.

Anti-regime outlet Iran International (live updates):

Protests spread to several Iranian cities, with chants targeting Khamenei

  • Protest rallies turned violent in several parts of Iran, with security forces shooting directly at protesters in Hamadan and firing tear gas in Tehran and Malard.
  • Nighttime protests were held in several parts of Iran, from Qeshm Island in the south, to Zanjan and Hamadan in the north.
  • Tehran shopkeepers vowed to continue their strikes and protests on Tuesday. Shahid Beheshti University students also announced plans for a protest gathering on Tuesday morning.
  • Protesters in several parts of Tehran province chanted 'death to the dictator' during nighttime demonstrations, videos obtained by Iran International show.

Vatican expert: Co-Redemptrix title of Mary not absolutely prohibited

Monsignor Maurizio Gronchi, an expert consultant for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican, clarified that the measure established last month regarding the use of the titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix” for the Virgin Mary is “not an absolute prohibition” and that these titles can still be used in popular piety, provided their meaning is understood.

“It’s not an absolute prohibition, but it will no longer be used in official documents or in the liturgy. But if used in popular devotion, understanding its meaning, no one will be reprimanded for it,” the expert said in an interview with “EWTN Noticias,” the Spanish-language broadcast edition of EWTN News.

The interview took place after the Nov. 4 publication of the doctrinal note “ Mother of the Faithful People” in which the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, led by Cardinal Víctor Fernández, stated that the use of the title “Co-Redemptrix” is “always inappropriate” and encourages “special prudence” regarding the title “Mediatrix of All Graces.” The text has sparked controversy among the faithful, especially among those who use these terms within the Catholic Church.

Former world chess champion declared a terrorist, court issues arrest warrant for promoting terrorist content online

The charges relate to alleged public incitement to terrorism using online platforms. The offence carries a maximum sentence of seven years under Russian law.

Kasparov, a long-time critic of President Vladimir Putin, lives outside Russia and has not returned since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He co-founded the Free Russia Forum, an exiled opposition movement that organises conferences and campaigns against the war in Ukraine.

Kasparov was added to Russia’s list of “foreign agents” in May 2022. In 2024, authorities also designated him as a terrorist and extremist.

China stages record drills designed to encircle Taiwan

China launched its most extensive war games around Taiwan on Monday to showcase Beijing's ability to cut off the island from outside support in a conflict, testing Taipei's resolve to defend itself and its arsenal of U.S.-made weapons.

The Eastern Theatre Command said it had deployed troops, warships, fighter jets and artillery for its "Justice Mission 2025" exercises to encircle the democratically governed island, conduct live fire and simulated strikes on land and sea targets, and drills to blockade Taiwan's main ports.

The exercises began 11 days after the U.S. announced $11.1 billion in arms sales to Taiwan, the largest ever weapons package for the island, drawing a protest from China's defence ministry and warnings the military would "take forceful measures" in response.

Analysts say Beijing's drills increasingly blur the line between routine military training exercises and what could be stage-setting for an attack, a strategy intended to give the U.S. and its allies minimal warning of an assault.

The Chinese military also released a video depicting automated humanoid robots, microdrones and weaponised robotic dogs attacking the island, futuristic technology China has never showcased before.

SEALING OFF PORT CITIES​

The Chinese military released a series of propaganda posters along with a graphic depicting four locations across the island with targets locking on, following the drill announcement.

China's state broadcaster said the exercises would focus on sealing off Taiwan's vital deep-water Port of Keelung to the island's north and Kaohsiung to Taiwan's south, the island's largest port city.

DRILLS FORCE FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS​

The Transport Ministry said more than 100,000 passengers on scheduled international flights will be affected by Tuesday's drills, while around 80 domestic flights are set to be cancelled.

Grim Evidence of Trump’s Airstrikes Washes Ashore on a Colombian Peninsula

First came the scorched boat. Then the mangled bodies. Then the packets with traces of marijuana. Now, fishermen fear the ocean that feeds them.
A thunderous boom rang out through the windless late-afternoon air. Seconds later, smoke began rising out of the sea as if the horizon were on fire.

Watching from the shore on Nov. 6, Erika Palacio Fernández whipped out her phone, she said, unwittingly recording the only verified and independent video known to date of the aftermath of an airstrike in the Trump administration’s campaign against what it calls “narco-terrorists.”

Two days later, on that same shore, a scorched 30-foot-long boat itself would wash up. Then, two mangled bodies. Then charred jerrycans, life jackets and dozens of packets that were observed by The New York Times and were similar to others that have been found after anti-narcotics operations in the region. Most packets were empty, though traces of a substance that looked and smelled like marijuana were found in the lining of a few. NYT

Please don't tell me evidence shows Fentanyl was not being ran through the seas, but rather marijuana.
Something that is not only legal here.
Something Trump just eased restrictions on here in America.
Please tell me we are not enacting war crimes over weed.

President Donald Trump’s White House has taken the astonishing step of commandeering the Department of Justice’s X account, Axios reported Wednesday, a day after the latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein files contained several mentions of the president’s name.
“Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ’s account on X,” Axios reported in its Christmas Eve morning newsletter. “The account is taking a sharper tone with a more rapid-response campaign edge.”
It’s unclear when the White House first took over the account, but a post by the Department of Justice announcing the latest Epstein files’ release on Tuesday was quick to absolve the president of any wrongdoing.
“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the X post read. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.” HERE
After the DOJ failed to keep this Epstein to fellow Pedophile Larry Nassar from the public, the White house took control of the DOJ's social media so "they" could accuse the letter as being faked.

“Dear L.N.,” As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our President also shares our love of young, nubile girls.” The letter makes another lewd reference to Trump’s treatment of women. “Life is unfair,”​

They don't even pretend to hide it anymore.

Trans-identified TV characters rose slightly in 2025, but most may not return next season: report 489 LGBT characters tallied by GLAAD

The number of transgender-identified characters on TV is on the rise even as many of the shows on which they appear won't return next season, according to a report from an LGBT media watchdog.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation 2025 "Where We Are on TV" study found that while the number of transgender-identified characters increased slightly from last year, only four such characters appear on series that have been officially renewed for another season. This could open the door "for a potential huge decrease in transgender representation" in the next year, the group notes.

Across primetime scripted broadcast, primetime scripted cable and scripted streaming original series that premiered a new season between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025, GLAAD counted 489 LGBT-identified characters in total, a 4% increase, up from 468 characters counted in the previous season.

WASHINGTON – An explosive FBI documentobtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) reveals the FBI targeted eight Republican senators’ personal cell phones for “tolling data” as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.

Let's evaluate the 'Charlie Kirk effect'

During the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “Charlie started a political movement but unleashed a spiritual revival.” Many people have, in fact, used the word revival to describe what has happened, especially among young people, since the September 10th assassination of the Turning Point USA founder.

According to a FOX News article published a few weeks after his death, pastors and religious leaders across the U.S., including Arizona where Kirk was based, reported a 15% to 30% increase in church attendance, and many of the new attendees referred to Kirk’s death as a wake-up call about mortality and faith.

Trump Reveals American Forces Took Out ‘Big Facility’ in Venezuelan Pressure Campaign

We cannot give in to terrorism.

Do you get offended whenever a non-believer calls Christianity a cult?

I have heard some people say this and sometimes it has offended me because I was always taught growing up that Christianity was the truth of Jesus Christ, not just another cult existing on earth. That it was the truth itself. As Jesus said: I am the way, the truth, and the life.

*Sigh* People are brought up in so many different ways it seems. If my way of life offends you in some way, don't come and tell me. Keep it to yourself. I know nonbelievers would accuse me of being "indoctrinated" by Bible Scripture, but I say to them: What's so wrong about that? You make it sound like having divine knowledge is a bad thing.

I guess I am so tired of hearing this.

If the C of E pays for weddings....

That will allegedly restore the position of marriage in British society....

"Amid declining marriage rates, the Centre for Social Justice, a London-based conservative think tank, has urged the Church of England to remove wedding fees for low-income couples to help make the United Kingdom a “pro-family, pro-marriage nation.”

"The CSJ’s report draws on findings from Dr. Kathleen Kiernan’s “Families and Inequalities” and Harry Benson’s “We Need to Talk about Marriage.” In 1958, fewer than 10% of children did not live with both biological parents by the time they took their General Certificates of Secondary Education. That figure rose to 21% by 1970 and reached 45% by the early 2000s, reports Church Times."


Churches should pay for weddings to promote marriage, think tank says

I am puzzled that anybody thinks that the fees for church marriage are anything to do with this situation. As if consistently making divorce easier for a hundred years or so has not made any difference, as if legalising weddings in pretty non-religious locations made no difference. Could they have simply suggested that the church could take charge of publicising the advantages of marriage, and go back to actively nurturing marriage?

Why did this think tank not suggest that the state and the private secular businesses that provide wedding venues pay for people's weddings?

I have no idea why GOD paired he and I together really...

I won't say his name, but its more of like a long-distance relationship kind of thing. He and I don't even live in the same states.

But there seems to be something between us that I don't really understand that I can only describe as being God's power pulling us together. We seem to have more than just a romantic type connection, but a spiritual one as well that we seem to be feeling in our souls towards each other.

I have never been this close to a guy before. EVER. But our hearts seem to resonate somehow...on an intimate level...

I know its GOD doing this. I just don't know why. The spiritual power between us is incredible really. I think it may even be supernatural.

The devil in 1 Enoch Asael Azazel Gadreel

This one fallen angel in 1 Enoch seems to be all the same figure, and seems to be the actual devil the one in Revelation 12:9. It sounds like it should all be the same name.

Vanderkam 1 Enoch

chapter 54:1
And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and
I saw there a deep valley with burning fire. {2/ And they
brought the kings and the mighty and threw them into that
deep valley.}a 3/ And there my eyes saw them making their
instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight.
4
And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, “For whom
are these chains being prepared?”
5
And he said to me, “These are being prepared for the host of
Azazel, that they might take them and throw them into the
abyss of complete judgment, and with jagged rocks they will
cover their jaws, as the Lord of Spirits commanded.
6
And Michael and Raphael and Gabriel and Phanuel will take
hold of them on that great day, and throw them on that day
into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take
vengeance on them, for their unrighteousness in becoming
servants of Satan, and leading astray those who dwell on the
earth.”

55

3 When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the
angels, on the day of tribulation and distress in the face of
my punishment and wrath, I will make my punishment and
wrath dwell upon them,” says the Lord of Spirits.
4
“Mighty kings who dwell on the earth, you will have to wit-
ness my Chosen One, how he will sit on the throne of glory
and judge Azazel and all his associates and all his host in the
name of the Lord of Spirits.”
56:1
And I saw there hosts of angels of punishment going, and they
were holding <chains> of iron and bronze.
2
And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, “To whom
are these who are holding (the chains) going?”
3
And he said to me, “To their chosen and beloved ones, that
they may be thrown into the chasm of the abyss of the valley.
4
Then that valley will be filled with their chosen and beloved
ones,
and the days of their life will be at an end,
and the days of their leading astray will henceforth not be
reckoned.”



chapter 69
the twenty-first is †Azazel†

chapter 6
7 ninth to him; Asael,

chapter 8
1 Asael taught men to make swords of iron and weapons and
shields and breastplates and every instrument of war.
He showed them metals of the earth and how they should
work gold to fashion it suitably, and concerning silver, to
fashion it for bracelets and ornaments for women. And he
showed them concerning antimony and eye paint and all
manner of precious stones and dyes.


6 You see what Asael has done,
who has taught all iniquity on the earth,
and has revealed the eternal mysteries that are in heaven,
<which the sons of men were striving to learn.>c


chapter 10

4
To Raphael he said,
“Go, Raphael, and bind Asael hand and foot, and cast him
into the darkness;
And make an opening in the wilderness that is in
Doudael.
5
Throw him there, and lay beneath him sharp and jagged
stones.
And cover him with darkness, and let him dwell there for
an exceedingly long time.
Cover up his face, and let him not see the light.
6
And on the day of the great judgment, he will be led away
to the burning conflagration.
7
And heal the earth, which the watchers have desolated;
and announce the healing of the earth, that the plague
may be healed,
and all the sons of men may not perish because of the
mystery that the watchers told and taught their sons.
8
And all the earth was made desolate by the deeds of the
teaching of Asael,
and over him write all the sins.”

chapter 13
13:1
“And, Enoch, go and say to Asael,
‘You will have no peace.
A great sentence has gone forth against you, to bind you.
2
You will have no relief or petition,
because of the unrighteous deeds that you revealed,
{and because of all the godless deeds and the unrighteous-
ness and the sin that you revealed to humans.’”}a
3
Then I went and spoke to all of them together.
And they were all afraid,
and trembling and fear seized them.


chapter 69 2
the tenth is Asael;



chapter 69 6
And the name of the third is Gadre’el. This is the one who
showed all the blows of death to the sons of men, and he led
Eve astray, and he showed the shield and the coat of mail
and the sword for battle and all the implements of death to
the sons of men. 7/ And from his hand they have gone forth
against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for-
ever and ever.

2 of the fallen angels list in 1 Enoch side by side

| Order | List A (First List) | List B (Second List) |
| ----: | ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| 1 | Shemihazah (leader) | Shemihazah |
| 2 | Arteqoph | Arteqoph |
| 3 | Remashel | Remashel |
| 4 | Kokabel | Kokabel |
| 5 | Armumahel | **Turel** |

| 16 | Sahriel | Shamsiel |
| 17 | Tummiel | Sahriel |
| 18 | Turiel | Tummiel |
| 19 | Yamiel | Turiel |
| 20 | Yehadiel | Yamiel |
| 21 | — | **Azazel** |

The two angel lists of 1 Enoch ordered into chart by chat gpt. One chart has Azazel as number 21 the other chart ends at 20.
The Vanderkam 1 Enoch version has a cross symbol either side of Azazel which in the introduction says that means it is presumed to be corrupt. Possibly Azazel is a later addition by a scribe? As Asael is in that same list, and if they are the same figure it should not be.

If Asael/Azazel/Gadreel is not the devil then they are some very powerful fallen angels high ranking like the devil.

Then here are a few of the other fallen angels

4
And the name of the first is Yeqon, this is the one who led all
the children of the angels astray and brought them down
upon the earth, and led them astray through the daughters
of men.
5
And the name of the second is Asbe’el. This one gave evil coun-
sel to the children of the holy angels, and led them astray so
that they ruined their bodies through the daughters of men.
6
And the name of the third is Gadre’el. This is the one who
showed all the blows of death to the sons of men, and he led
Eve astray, and he showeda the shield and the coat of mail
and the sword for battle and all the implements of death to
the sons of men. 7/ And from his hand they have gone forth
against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for-
ever and ever.
8
And the name of the fourth is †Penemue†. This one showed
the sons of men the bitter and the sweet and showed them
all the secrets of their wisdom. 9/ He gave humans knowl-
edge about writing with ink and papyrus, and therefore
many went astray from of old and forever and until this day.
10/ For humans were not born for this purpose, to confirm
their trustworthiness through pen and ink. 11/ For humans
were not created to be different from the angels, so that
they should remain pure and righteous. And death, which
ruins everything, would not have laid its hand on them.
But through this, their knowledge, they are perishing, and
through this power it devours us.
12
And the name of the fifth is Kasdeya. This is the one who
showed the sons of men all the evil blows of spirits and
demons, and the blows of the foetus in the womb, so that
it aborts, and {the blow of the soul,} the bite of the serpent,
and the blow that comes in the noonday heat, the son of the
serpent, whose name (is) Taba>et.

About Lucifer

I feel like we as God's people don't discuss him enough. He's our mortal enemy you know. Heck, he's everyone's enemy to be precise. I know what you guys are going to say: You're going to tell me that I should put my focus on Christ only but we don't talk about how to defeat the Devil should he come. I find this to be a problem. We have no battle plan, no strategy. We desperately need one.

We know he is the Evil One, the Son of Perdition as mentioned in the Bible. Does anyone on here know some good spiritual warfare practices? Sorry, but I'm not an expert in this area. Any advice and help would be appreciated.
