Back to the topic of the thread and I'll pose my original question to you: What has changed? This is not a new phenomenon. Ministry has always been under attack, always had stressful issues and discouraging situations. Yet only in the past decade or so are we hearing of ministers and saints on mood altering drugs or ministers committing suicide. Why do you believe this is?

Americans and westerners in general have been brain damaged by vaccines, poisons in the food supply, medications, and a crippling public education system (K through college), a non stop media onslaught of mind crippling propaganda, cell tower radiation, dithering in the digital broadcasts and lcd screens, good old fashioned fluoride in the water, heavy metals toxicity, aspartame, and so on and etc. Wait till 5G and 6G get rolled out in force, we haven't seen anything yet. HG Wells wasn't writing pure science fiction (he was a Fabian socialist very active in promoting the fundamental transformation of society to the humanists' high tech utopian paradise, as was Huxley).
This of course has affected the last several generations of people coming into the church. We are witnessing the rise of the Eloi and the creation of the Idiocracy.
And, all of it goes back to
Deut 28.
