The worst was some uncertainty over keeping my job since my company tried to force a vaccine mandate through in late 2021 due to having some federal contracts. I was able to obtain a religious exemption using the Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima’s form letter that someone pointed me to, with a few cites to the EEOC’s rules on religious discrimination that I added myself to counter the inevitable “the Pope says you should get vaccinated, so why should we approve this?” Luckily there wasn’t a Karen running my HR department.

I didn’t do that on my own, though. I thought that if I was going to apply for a religious exemption, I should at a minimum appear religious, plus I reasoned that with evil being so ascendant in the world, I really needed God on my side. So, I started attending Mass regularly again. I had been away for a long time, more out of indifference and laziness than lack of faith. I love going to church now. I’ve never doubted God’s existence before, but other things happened this year which proved unequivocally to me both that He exists, and that He is looking out for me.

I realized that nothing good came out of the scamdemic, but if Brandon hadn’t massively overreached on his vaccine BS, I might not have started going back to church again. So that’s pretty cool.

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”

He who asks forgiveness here on earth from his brother must repent. He who seeks reconciliation with a brother after sinning against him, must repent.

The point of that little exchange above is to demonstrate how you get a brother to repent: You tell him his sin. You give him a few chances to hear you. (“Hear you” means “listen, understand, and change”.) If he won’t listen (i.e. “get it” and then change), then you excommunicate him.

“Repent” does NOT mean saying “I’m sorry”. It does not mean offering apologies or mea culpas. It does not mean saying “I made mistakes”. Repentance means turning away from past bad or offending conduct. It means you stop doing the bad conduct and it means you represent to your brother that you will make an effort not to do it anymore.

Repentance means there has been a fundamental internal change in the offender. A change of heart, if you will, which results in a change of conduct.

So, no, I will not accept just “sorry” and “mistakes were made” as a request for “forgiveness”. No, I will not accept “forgive and forget”. No.

My co-worker was imprisoned for 4 days because he had a medical episode of some sort (pre-COVID/vaxx, so that wasn’t it). They drew blood every 2-3 hours, so he couldn’t get a good amount of sleep. They forbade him from taking food AND WATER for over 24 hours. I myself experienced these things a little over a month later, when I was incarcerated in the local mega-hospital for 4 days after a doctor diagnosed me OVER THE INTERNET as the local clinic. I went through the same regimen, and along the way was diagnosed with “high cholesterol” because mine was less than 10 points above what is ‘normal’. The ‘doctor’ promptly prescribed a statin and bragged to the residents on rounds that I would be on it “for the rest of his life”. Fat chance, doc.

Until then, I had no idea that doctors had this power to put you in a hospital and, yes, MURDER you for the insurance money. This is what they did with ventilators and Remdesivir, all to hound El Hombre Naranja from office. And it made me go back and reexamine my father’s death over 40 years ago, and come to the conclusion that the doctors had murdered him as well.

All doctors are tyrants. I wrote about it here: https://verisoeconomica.wordpress.com/2020/03/29/tyrants-in-white-lab-coats/

The article in The Atlantic did a fake apology. Both Sides are to blame. No.
My side did not have power and your side cause a lot of harm. The damage to people lives will never be fully calculated. So many have die, more injury, much mental problems and yet we still don’t know how many more will suffer. Many of the suicides, Jab deaths, cancers (due to delaying appointments), drug overdose well the blood is on your hands. Any Heart attacks (especially myocarditis), Blood Cloths and Adult sudden death syndrome to people under 50 will be view with much suspicion pointing to the Vax and your support is in part to blame.

My Story is similar to you. I did not take any of the not vax Jabs, lost both job opportunities and lost the current job in 2021 (due to Government mandates). 2021 taught me a lot about the weakness of people.
My Parents also took the Jab due to state border travel (to help my sister), My brother for work, My sister and her Husband due to enforce lock down on the un-jabbed in the State they were at. My sister had a second child (my Niece) and after the Jab her Breast milk dry up (not sure what happen).
Yes some Australia states locked up borders, at 1st with a permit you could travel, then in early 2021 no one could travel to Queensland or Western Australia (I miss father’s Day while the Prime Minster got special treatment to see his father). Later those that were not vax could not travel into Queensland, NT or Western Australia. New South Wales had a lockdown for 3 months. Many of my cousins who have kids had to stay in their homes and could not be more than 5 km. Victoria was one of the worst places, I think Melbourne had the longest lock down in the world, about 600 days. So many Victorians escape (left) the state probably forever.
Many of my friends got the Jab due to mostly Jobs, heath care (in hospitals would not let you in with the Jab) and some for travel (mostly to see sick families). Some took it early thinking it for the good but most people I know took it due to the threats.

I was threaten for 4 months by my state (as well as many others. Un-Jabbed could not work or go visit areas such as education, Healthcare (could see a doctor but not work), Carework, Charity work, Hospitality work (such as restaurants and bars), Government jobs or work at a festival. I could not to see movies, go out to eat (some places still serve me knowing I was not Jab and I will be forever loyal to them), and no bars.

As you might remember I did my ACL and meniscus in 2020. This was in part the fault of the 1st set of lockdowns. I had not seen my mates for 6 weeks or been allow to group up for a while. Long story short the injury’s happen after catching up. After I did not see a doctor months after the injury and making it worst possibly causing the Meniscus tear.

At the same time my Church went to Zoom for a lot of 2020 and 2021.

Also Australians could not travel for 2 years and I had plans to go to Poland and other eastern european countries back in 2020, all canceled.

I tried so hard in 2021 to stop people in my life getting the Jab. The mask mandates I fought with so many people mostly women because I refuse. In some case I had to put it on hospitals.

I don’t know if I could forgive them. The people who push this (Governments), supported it (Media, Elites and some hardcore fanatics), enforce it (police) , supply the vax, or created it (the Vax or Covid).

Thank you again Didactic. You, Vox Day, Roosh V, Adam Piggott, Martin Armstrong, Alex Jones and some of the doctors who spoke out for being the voices of reason during the last 2 years.

Anyway one thing did come out of it and that is much more pray. I turn to Jesus for strength during the stressful and lonely times. I prayed for victims, my family and friends but also my enemies.
