    Acknowledgement and Forgetfulness of GOD when focusing on something else

    Hopefully this isn't too cloudy of a question. I have doubts often times during the day when I am focused on work, classes, etc. I realize I am not focusing on GOD during those times but completely thoughtful of the worldly task at hand. It makes me wonder if it is a lack of faith or sinful...

    View on Interracial Marriage in EO?

    What are some good ideas for resources that would be worth having over actual $? Seeing as our money is fiat currency, and there have been times when money was rendered worthless (i.e. Germany pre WW2), I think it would be good to rely more on resources that have purpose instead of having more...

    What does America even represent at this point

    From wars started by false flags and motivated by greed and the military-industrial complex, etc., I don't really have much love for the USA governmentally speaking. Coming from the south & midwest, I feel like we are used and talked about like trash by people on the coasts. My college puts...
