How does one undo the brainwashing of centuries??? We have accepted the Jesus Story given to us by the Roman Gov’t…how much of it is true? 
I used to be a part of what I call The Bible Belt here in the U.S. so I know the ‘boxed in’ thinking that is a part of that mindset. One declares The Bible to be THE Word of God, that is the basis & everything has to fit in around that…doesn’t matter whether this book has been translated correctly or what the Source Documents for it were!! That’s how we get American Cowboys going to “help” Israe at this time, because they are “God’s People”!! 
Having spent every Wednesday after school in choir practice since the 4th grade and every Sunday sitting at the front of the Nave singing my heart out (through high school), catechism memorizations, and Sunday rituals, I finally started thinking about the entire process and not just accepting it. The simple concept that peace can only be achieved through love is what I concluded is THE message from Jesus. With that in mind, Israel represents God’s chosen people?
I beg to differ.

EXACTLY, Bill. That and her constant fake smile is enough to make me hit the delete button. The other problem I have is that I feel that her message is very carefully controlled and kept at the edge of fear-porn.
Between religion and the social sciences for social engineering, the “box” we are in is huge. Lots of room for “free thinking”, but step out of the “box” and you are shunned or killed. I guess that’s why we were instructed as children to stay within the lines in our coloring books, very useful knowledge to survive in the world. “Snow is Black.”

This one might be an important addition towards some decisions some of us could be faced with in the near future.

The problem is that we cannot separate Christianity from Western Civilization… we all live in and benefit from a culture that exists primarily because of Christianity.

Good thinking!! That’s the problem, for sure!! At this point in time I recognize that the majority of The Public are no longer in the “Churched Group” so do not adhere to any religious belief! I was pushed into examining my entire Belief System at age 70 because of the results of what had happened in my own life. For each of us it is a Personal Journey which we must sort out for ourselves. The hypocrisy that has been apparent in our governing system for decades is being shown clearly for all to see now & it has nothing to do with being a “Christian Nation”! Our brainwashing guided us towards “Obey The Authorities”…which has led us to the gnocde we are now living through. I am sure each one of us has a Loved One who trusted the Medical Authorities who is no longer with us! It is wonderful to see the various groups that have sprung up around the country, positively, trying to take back our country. It is great that we have platforms like this where we can honestly discuss such matters! Happy New Year!!

I agree, I cannot take anybody seriously who hasn’t at some point in their lives, seriously examined and questioned their beliefs, no matter what they are!.. And while I am sure there are many Christians who fall into that category… I suspect that the soldiers today are probably more influenced by the “Become an instant Hero” Military propaganda and paycheck… I think they have proven time and time again they would jump into any war head first without a logical reason I have thought for years the most easily manipulated people fill up the lower ranks of our military. They are the types of people who buy into the “thank you for your service” mentality and equate freedom with the armed services.
I think the reason the average joe schmoe supports Israel (or Hamas) is because they have a serious lack of actual information. They don’t realize it is the people who live there that are victims of the war machine. I find that these people tend to have bought the 9/11 narrative and still have a hard time grasping that covid was intentional and coordinated.

Yep! To all the posts in this thread… lots of good thinking. However, there are far more serious matters that concern those of us who do not believe ‘anything’ someone preaches’ unless they can verify and satisfy all the requirements for an absolute factual certainty, and how can that be accomplished?
If only people knew from ‘where’ the folks in ‘control’ of that tiny, little ‘nation’ originated, and who ‘gave’ us the Holy Bible then perhaps that could, or might ‘open-up’ some understanding of why the True and Living God sent his only begotten son into a place where he was vilified, slandered, and finally crucified unto Death. But, NO!!! Most folks believe ‘hook-line-and-sinker’ in the ‘Belief’ that what is written in a series of books, that have been cobbled together and called a Holy Bible, was and is the “Truth”.
Now, if those books had been chiseled into stone tablets, or into something durable such as the ‘Emerald Tablets’ which were chiseled into a gemstone of emerald, and we could all have free and ‘unfettered’ access to that information and knowledge in order to study it for ourselves in its original provenance, and therefore verify it’s true and exact origins, then it could possibly be important, and thereby all the conjecture in these discussions would be an entirely different matter.
Of course, what we have been given have either been on parchment, or on sheepskin pages that have long ago deteriorated into unreadable script with the passage of Time. On top of that transgression have been all those synagogues filled with lowly scribes who dutifully wrote the words dictated to them from some ‘speaker’ in the room, which is entirely inappropriate evidence in a ‘Court of Law’.
Listen to me very, very closely people… my career involved writing reports that went to the ‘folks’ who actually do CONTROL everything involving money, finances, and therefore they ‘ARE’ the folks who are ‘in charge’ of ‘politics’, and almost all governments, countries and nations. My reports had to be 100% accurate, 100% verifiable, and sworn to be 100% accurate under penalty of Law for a minimum of seven years, and as of today ‘They’ remain silent.
So, do I believe in Christ? Absolutely, 100%. Listen of me closely people, no Force will ever go to the expense, time, and effort that has been undertaken in order to attempt to falsify something that is true and valuable, IF their ultimate goal has been to make folks believe a Lie has been meant to deceive the rest of the World, such as Transhumanism, which may not be untrue?

This can be a challenge with many folks, depending on what is the nature of their beliefs and how those have defined their lives.

Is that with “under penalty of perjury” statement you signed with your reports?
Would be great if more people in government would sign papers with that, so then if it can be proven that they were intentionally lying in an official document they can’t stay in office after that.

“America’s Untold Stories” recently did a bio on Gen. Curtis LeMay you might find interesting! He saw the Wright Bros. fly as a 5 yr. old that led him to wanting to fly! He is one of the greatest, behind the scenes, heroes our country has had! One interesting tidbit is that he rescued Rocket Scientist, David Adair, from Area 51 back in 1971!! David was only 17 at the time & had been taken there to examine an alien engine. The Nazi Arthur Rudolph had him locked up! Kerry Cassidy did a couple good interviews with David on Project Camelot.

I probably could have worded it better… But in my opinion it comes down to knowing yourself and why you believe what you believe… Whether a person’s faith is Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Spiritual, Atheist, Agnostic, etc… I think it is necessary to have that internal dialogue where you really examine what exactly it is you believe in and why. In my opinion it is what separates the indoctrinated from the people who reach their own conclusions. But I agree it is super challenging to do for many people and some beliefs are more challenging than others.

Instead of writing down New Year resolutions, take a yearly inventory of what one believes and why. If this had been done for the last five years, think of the changes you would have had to make to reconcile your beliefs with reality.

That’s a heck of a lot of reconciliation.

No, to your question. However, it was actually much more complicated. The ‘truth’ was not the largest issue. Rather it was the analysis of known facts, and were my conclusions, and explanations of the ‘facts’ and Final Estimate of Value reasonable? That is in itself a fairly complicated process, but especially given the way the 'definitions were undergoing constant revisions on an almost annual basis. So, as of the Effective Date of each Appraisal Report was my analysis of Market Conditions correct at a time of either rapidly rising, or falling interest rates?
However, the most mindboggling lawsuit that I remember reading concerned a minority couple who disputed the Appraised Value of a house they were buying. It was too low for the couple to receive the approval of their loan. Consequently, they initiated a lawsuit against the appraiser and won despite the fact that every step the appraiser had taken was done 100% correctly by ‘the rules and regulations’, but the judge disagreed.
