I went to the John Deere Tractor place before that and we discussed fixing tractors. Nothing but field, lawn, and garden were discussed. Along with a, "Are these new cordless weed wackers reliable?" Went to Atlantic Union and they were supporting wacking of a whole different variety! And it wasn't a banking type either! Yikes!

After spending the last decade working and taking care of my elderly family I feel like I am coming out of a time capsule scratching my head and wondering, "Who are these people?"

Make no mistake. There are many rich and powerful involved in these perversions. So the heads you encounter may not just be tolerating them, they may be backing them to the hilt, and in fact are them. This has been building for a very long time.

I have never stepped foot in a Mormon church, don't care to, and would tell a Mormon I do not agree with the tenets of the faith and please keep it away from me. But I would not protest a song like, "Give me that old time religion" even though it was performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Especially as it was performed very well with a good sense of decency. I would actually tell them they did a wonderful job in the performance and tell anyone who played that song, "I enjoyed that, thank you!" Especially after watching the promotion of immoral values such as we have in this day and time.

Back in the days pre-Covid
1. You could go to the dentist and talk to an actual dentist
2. You could go to the doctor and talk to an actual doctor
3. You could go to the bank and talk to an actual banker
4. You could go to church and talk to an actual senior pastor

Nowadays post-Covid
1. You go to a dentist and will likely run into a hygienist
2. You go to a doctor and will likely run into a practitioner
3. You go to a bank run by someone with an associate’s degree
4. You go to church and sometimes the preacher does not have a degree at all.

While he was alive I actually took dad to a Lutheran and a Presbyterian church where the pastor was a wife of a man who was into some kind of profession. When I asked about this I was told they could not find any men preachers! I miss the old banker where the banker had at least a bachelor’s degree and a professional look. You could talk to the guy and get the grey hair financial sense on what is going on and how to invest in it.

***Important note! I was not at the bank to discuss moral issues. I was there to discuss fatherly type investment talk. The moral issues were raised by the bank and not by me. I had to bring up the issue that I was not at the bank to discuss moral issues I was there to talk financial talk. If I cannot talk financial sense in a bank how can I have faith to put money there? Especially money in the form of my father's trust (especially noting the word trust!).

Moral, heretics
Immoral, "Christians"
