   The Daily Purge: Conversion From The Com   
   04 Aug 23 14:01:26   
   
   From: andronicus451@gmail.com   
      
   The end of communism in 1991 was somewhat liberating: you would   
   no longer go to jail for praying to God like in China, Iran or North Korea.   
   This is the good news.   
      
   The problem, however, is the experience of many real believers who shied   
   away from the "real Christians" that filled the churches. Those were first   
   in the pews of the congregation, but they also embezzled in privatisation.   
   Somehow they made a deal with the priests or cardinal, giving the greatest   
   contribution for church or Cathedral renewals.   
      
   Later they claimed that they also have a deal with the people who wrote   
   the Holy Bible translation. Many thought that they also had a deal with   
   God, and left the churches entirely to the convertites.   
      
   Why is this so bad?   
      
   Real conversion to faith (the one that is accompanied with righteousness   
   and justice) did not occur. The communists, on the other hand, also made   
   a deal with the priesthood. The knowledgeable said that a part of the   
   priesthood has "sold". The others called that slander. Even Satanic slander.   
      
   The unconverted communists still posed as service to the religious   
   priesthood: the shameful marriage with the tycoons and oligarchs   
   was better not exposed.   
      
   There was an obvious absence of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit   
   in the "religious revival" of the 1990s. There were no saved and converted   
   prostitutes, drug addicts, alcoholics, or communist secret servicemen.   
   In fact, there was one. He became President.   
      
   The church accepted him as the means to gather the flock, much like   
   the Vatican concordates the Holy See used to Christen the nations   
   without much preaching. Faith revivals were quenched as "extremes   
   not from God, but from the Devil". So, every movement of the Holy Spirit   
   was quenched in the process.   
      
   Since the 1990s, the spirit of control and manipulation started to dominate   
   in the churches instead of this Holy Spirit. This resulted in pastors and   
   "apostles" "Lording over" the flock in an authoritarian manner, and often   
   resulting in mind control that resulted in financial exploitation at least.   
      
   2 Corinthians 1:24   
   Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy,   
   because it is by faith you stand firm.   
      
   What was worse than just raising a loan for the church renewal, tithing   
   from little and then being sacked from the church when you also lose job   
   is the mind control.   
      
   One of the basic requirements for any religion is sexual purity. The difference   
   is the means it is achieved.   
      
   In some religious organisations, this is exercised by exclusion of all members   
   who indulge in sinful sexual habits. In some religious organisations, the   
   mainstream ones, outward appearance is more important.   
      
   "Village and neighbour control" is enforced to make the population   
   comply to public morals. Which usually amounts to sexual repression,   
   emasculation of men and virtual castration in the working environments   
   and society.   
      
   What is left are the "alpha males" who are not only allowed to explore   
   sexuality and masculinity, bully and abuse, but also can have tens of   
   girlfriends, later businesses and a lot of sponsored girls aside from their   
   wives.   
      
   Nobody regards this as "immoral", "prostitution", or even adultery.   
   Nobody criticises this, and they are church donors and prominent   
   members, in the first church pews.   
      
   How is then the average Joe made virtually sexless or asexual?   
   By punishing the selected "victims" who explore sexuality too daring   
   or outside of the social norms. By this I mean that having a prostitute   
   sponsor girl or a politician or businessman going to the bar or club   
   with female dancers or girls who serve customers is not immoral,   
   but certain men are labeled and stigmatised for far lesser sexual   
   exploits - or without them.   
      
   Often, former (?) communists assist such manipulation, and the spirit   
   is behind the social repression is not the Holy Spirit, but the different   
   spirit, the same seen in the State control and the same spirit that   
   entices selected Russian virgins to think that selling virginity to the   
   porn site is a moral and rational thing to do. Under such control,   
   they are actually surprised when the chain of events leads to   
   the actual intercourse and loss of virginity. Even when the whole story   
   serves just as introduction of young and beautiful, often "good girls",   
   not what would be an average "whore" or "slut" - into the porn industry   
   as porn actresses for hardcore.   
      
   The hypocrisy of the mainstream religion enables former communist   
   servicemen to serve both roles. Sometimes the same people, and even   
   at the same time.   
      
   Using the same actors for sexual morality and sexual transgression   
   and sexual industry and business creates perception that all religion   
   and God are probably also fake.   
      
   What is then to do? To let the flock sin in fornication as the Roman   
   Catholics?   
      
   Right now, the current state of affairs seems worse: the flock is   
   not spiritual, but murderously envious and gossiping, especially   
   those who are achievers in any way. Way too easily, beautiful girls   
   are simply dismissed as "whores", and then the label sticks like   
   a self-fulfilling prophecy.   
      
   Sometimes, "gay" person also first starts as being simply labeled   
   as "homosexual".   
      
   Such business has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit, with Christ,   
   or God. Jesus said: "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone!"   
   Today, stoning sinners is the laughing stock.   
      
   Then you see the same fornicators and alpha males posed as angels.   
   Angels who seduce innocent girls i.e. to have sex to get a car.   
   Normally, they shouldn't hear of such a thing. In Paradise.   
      
   In this world, they have to be moral enough to decline such offer.   
   Or to sell virginity.   
      
   Such repression and anger is later misplaced and projected on   
   alien races, religions, nations or groups. This scapegoating is the   
   same strategy the Nazis used with the communists, the mentally ill,   
   homosexuals, Roma and Jews. Today we hear that only Jews were   
   victims of the Holocaust. Others were expendable anyway, just as   
   they are today (i.e. Uygurs, Somali, Sudan, Rwanda people).   
      
   This strategy sadly still works, because of the way sin works in   
   population. Apostle Paul knew that the power of sin is the prohibition (Law).   
   Without prohibition, the sin is dead.   
      
   Thereof apostle preaches the Gospel of the grace of God, not as excuse   
   to sin, and not just for some. Paul didn't have double standards, one   
   for the rich and one for the poor   
   (as by the proverb "Quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi.")   
      
   How did he then do it?
