It looks like Voat may have to close.
I just wanted to put down in words how I feel about Voat possibly closing. I'm ambivalent and there's a part of me that is thankful because these past 6 months have been exhausting. I am maxed out emotionally. I came here last November. My cup was nearly empty. What is hard difficult for me to understand is why today that same cup is full to overflowing. I didn't expect that. This story as bad as it is has brought me a lot closer to God. I questioned my faith in the past. But after this my faith is the hardest of diamonds. That's the consolation for me.
I can move on because this story isn't about Religion. This story is about Good vs Evil. Everyone will have a different take based on their own Spirituality. For me I find faith in, hold your scorn, Jesus Christ. The King of Kings allowed me to countenance this and still keep my sanity. But this is not about Religion. This is about Spirituality. Religion is for those who don't want to go to Hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there.
What breaks my heart now is to think of what may be next. That's another reason I kinda look forward to Voat shutting down. I need to move on with my life. I can't be so close to this thing when the King of Kings clears His throat. The Word of God can be as terrifying as It is beautiful. This story can't be stopped. The Good Sheppard doesn't suffer fools gladly. He has been known in the past to unleash grievous chastisements on many an evil man who conspires to harm His precious flock of penitent and defenseless souls*.
The meek shall inherit the Earth. .......I don't think these people got the memo.
"*" Please note the presence of children in the referenced painting. Then watch this clip.
Please realize I don't condone violence. I think the fastest way the Deep State comes down is through NON-violence. And I know Quentin Tarantino wrote half the quote himself. I'm thinking here of the other half that God wrote. And I know God said "Vengeance Is Mine". It's just my mind does wander at times. I think of the Brownstone Operations and getting poor kids of every race hooked on Opiates. I think of organ harvesters. I ask if these men and women are guilty then they are evil and wicked and therefor Ezekiel 25:17 finds purchase. Only then do I try to visualize what exactly did God mean in Ezekiel 25:17. And the first thing that comes to mind is Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
Ezekiel 25:17: And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
O_O
Ezekiel is potent truth but it's confusing at the same time. How can a loving God be so mean. It's hard to find reason in that fact. The only thing that makes sense is the fact we are all sinners after all. And the only way I can see the perps in this sordid tail making it through is for them to get right with God. Only God can forgive sins. And only God can provide you unconditional love at all times........no matter what.
The problem with Humanity is the humans. We are all far from perfect and that fact is viciously demonstrated all day every day. How far we are from perfection is hard to tell. I know everyone's different. Some are kinda close. Others aren't even in the same ball park and they scare us.
They were all in love with dying and they were drinkin' from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Sheriee
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love dying they were doin' it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train
They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present football player rapist they were all in love with dying they were doin' it in Texas
Holly caught a bullet but it only hit his leg
While it should have been a better shot he got him in the head
They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

FOOTNOTE:
3 - Many of us are tricked into following orders and only realize we got tricked later on. It's scary because all you need is just one person to relax their standards a bit. You've got to remember many in this crowd believe "The Ends Justify The Means". That's how the frog was slowly boiled and eaten. They're inched along slowly, asked to lower their standards just a little. Oh ignore that one exception, it's all for a good cause after all. You've got to remember Donald Trump wants to make all women wear dog leashes and keep gay people in cages. So please disregard your conscience for the next 24 hours. And on and on.........
Sometimes you'll see this phenomenon referred to as "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.".
Unfortunately it gets worse. After you agree to lower your standards then you're asked to put on the blinders, followed by those old people wrap around sun glasses that hardly let any light in at all. Your future gets worse and worse but you still have to wear shades.

The East German Stasi Kommissar comes next and then everything turns to shit.
Fortunately we stopped it early this time. Last time it killed 26 million Russians, 20 million Chinese, 7 million regretful Germans, 6 million Jews, 3 million Japanese, ~400,000 British and ~400,000 Americans. But make no mistake, there's always another battle in this war. The best trick the devil ever played is convincing the world he doesn't exist. We always win in the end though. Have no fear.
