Its very clear that the NPC/MSM/Shill attacks here are unprecedented.
Are they hurting our cause? No, they are only emboldening us. Proving the 40k foot view over targets.
However, I for one (and many others) have been doing what THEY want us to do in response.
That is .... TROLLING THEM BACK.
As satisfying as that is...I keep getting the words of Q and R running through my head. It kept me up most of the night.
Call it the spirit of God, or whatever you want...but it was nagging at me, telling me I was going about this wrong.
Q quoted a Bible verse about putting on the FULL armor of God:
Ephesians 6:10-18 New International Version (NIV)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Lets be clear...that day of EVIL has arrived. The verse doesnt say to instantly wear the armor of God, but to try to stand your ground by yourself, and after you cant stand anymore, with your OWN power, THEN to put on the armor of God to PRESS FORWARD.
And the armor of God simply means to be (In order):
1-Tell the truth
2-Be a GOOD person
3-Be ready to teach others the good news of PEACE
4-Have faith youll get through this
5-And youll be redeemed
6-Through the spirit of God
And R (having been thoroughly vetted on the chans) has said some REALLY interesting things, but there was ONE thing that really bothered me that R said.
"If you turn ONE away, you've hurt the plan.
If you hurt the plan, you'll be left behind."
Left behind from WHAT exactly?
One can speculate many meaning of this. Regardless...it is a disturbing thought to be left behind with the people whom its OUR task to OPEN THEIR EYES, and to NOT proceed to where ever we are supposed to go to.
-Peace

I beg you to exercise this new found humility and reassess this issue.
I believe you are right that there are trolls around. (It's the internet).
However, these people you call shills (though they're not selling anything), or call other names, I put to you, are maybe nothing of the sort.
I often chime in with unorthodox views or unsanctioned positions. But I do it earnestly, in my search for truth, which is what I, and many others value from communities like this.
The response I often get, as you are aware, is close-minded, and presumptuous.
I put it to you...
What if these people are genuine folks, looking for answers? In all honesty, how could you know they are not?
There are, it seems to me, four ways you could deal with these so called "shills" (trolls, in my opinion):
** If they are trolls, it will delight and encourage them.
** If they are good people, it will put them off.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will bore them.
** If they are good people, it will disillusion them.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will make them laugh.
** If they are good people (and devout), they will feel ignored, diverted or hijacked from their genuine concerns.
** If they are good people (and irreligious), it will annoy them, and put them off.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will bore them.
** If they are good people, they will feel welcomed, and the community would potentially benefit from an enrichment of new ideas and perspectives.
** If they are shills, their claims and attempts at manipulation will be show to be faulty through argumentation and fail to hold up to scrutiny, thereby nullifying their effectiveness.
If we are here for answers, and if we are here for truth, then this is how we should proceed.
Please reconsider.
Thanks.
