Life in Lockdown in China

KeptByTheWord · #1 03-21-2020, 12:51 AM

My husband & I watched this documentary tonight.

I want to believe that America will never come to this.

I want to believe that Americans will never stand for life like this.

Social credit system? Every move monitored by the social network police?
God help us all.

Not trying to be doom and gloom, but this is reality in China right now. It is sobering. Watch and share your thoughts.

Why didn't you say something about "remember, we have a hope in Jesus" or something?

Share our thoughts? Seriously? Not trying to be doom and gloom?

God help us all? To do what? To "don't worry be happy"?

Mad yet? Good. Then listen cause I've got some goid news for you. Even though the powers that be who have literally billions and billions of dollars in pocket change to finance their dreams and goals of upgrading the USA into China v2.0, and you and I ain't got enough money to get the local mayor's attention for 5 minutes, and even though OUR GOVERNMENT HELPED CREATE COMMUNIST CHINA from start to now, nevertheless, YOU CAN STILL ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. More effective than just hoping it don't get that bad here. Ready? Just obey God in all things and tell the tyrant to pound sand. And MEAN IT.

Yes you might wind up behind bars, with "Christians" cheering your incarceration as a trouble making rebel. You may wind up dead. But Jesus has conquered death so no sweat.

THAT'S what will get 'r dun.

I watched all of it. It is bad I have seen worse ones. The truth is China's government itself has killed (as in murdered) many millions of their own people over the years. Many of them were believers in Jesus.

Many of them are in communist prisons as we speak. The people in the video are lucky compared to them. They have prisoners they keep alive until an order comes in from America or some other place for an organ. Kidney, Liver, ect. Then they are sent to surgery where theirs are removed and shipped out leaving them to die.

So what about all the crowds that were beforetime seen in Beijing as stated in the video? For all we know they may be killing throngs of them as in Depopulation plans.

Will these things come here. Yes. When? Thats the question. It's our time to shine for Jesus Christ. That means to be OBEDIENT to him in all things. It also means to BE LIKE HIM in all things.

It's just the underlying sarcasm in everything you post. Not necessary.

I've never said that things aren't shaping up for something far worse than we've ever dreamed. We know it has to happen. It is shocking when we see it coming to pass in other places.

And yet of course, we do have hope. That is the hallmark of our Christian faith.

But it seems you want to push the underlying fear that everyone else is going to fall for it, but not you because you're smarter than all of us.

Well, I appreciate your insight, and I am glad we are all sharing ideas and insight here. But I don't like your sarcasm, and superiority attitude that the rest of us are stupid, and can't see the real facts.

And I do have hope in Christ. I am watching what is going on around here to know and be aware of the signs of the time. But I am not going to spread fear, doom and gloom. We need to be aware, absolutely. These things in China could and probably someday will happen here, should the Lord tarry. But let's not act like we're the only ones who know this, or who will be saved.

None of us knows what its really going to be like before it is all said and done.

Thanks MTD. Amen! It is our time to shine. Things are shaping up in uglier ways than we could have imagined in our lifetime. I didn't know the part about the organ harvesting. That's awful!

I always wonder how humanity can be so cruel to one another, but ever since Cain and Abel, hatred for each other has abounded.

But the bright spot in all of this... I really believe we are here for such a time as this! May our light shine brighter than ever before!

Thank you!

Good grief! It is a real shame to be treated with such loathing on a forum that says Apostolic Friends.

I'm hoping with the push back that it will tone down. I want to hear his thoughts. I value his insight. But there is no need for the underlying superiority tone in much of what he shares.
