I have no doubt that YHWH will prevail in the end, as well as that things are proceeding according to His Plans, and I really love Common Sense, but that it will prevail among the human race is a dynamic that has never existed for any significant length of time in human history. I'll believe that's actually in tangible play when I see a minimum of 10% of adult men becoming ungovernable.
Neither one nor even both will be sufficient, because currently our culture is overwhelming dominated by men who are entirely unprepared to assume true headship of their families much less prepared to assume true leadership in their local or larger communities.

That was an excellent response Keith! Well said.Neither one or nor even both will be sufficient, because currently our culture is overwhelming dominated by men who are entirely unprepared to assume true headship of their families much less prepared to assume true leadership in their local or larger communities.
What is required is for men to stand tall, swayable only by other standing-tall men whom they can count on to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them -- and this doesn't just entail being able to collectively head to the same remote location where land is cheap and forming the equivalent of a Prepper KOA, because if the men who do that can't count on unswaying respectful cooperation from their wives under comfortable conditions, it's folly to believe they will rapidly transform into fully submissive wives just because a SHTF event occurs. The first step in individual cases, therefore, is unfortunately going to have to be men jettisoning any desire to acquire approval from the women in their lives. Feminism has infected almost everyone, and what I observe is that the most unprepared-to-be-part-of-the-solution men (even amongst so-called patriarchy-promoting organizations like this one -- but most certainly amongst the general culture) are those men who fail to fully analyze just how dominated they may be by fear of losing their women.
Curtis A. articulated this very well a couple years ago at the Branson retreat: most men are guilty not of adoring or cherishing their wives, but of idolizing them to the point of fearing either their departure or the stigma they might receive from others for not keeping their marriages together. But when a man fears this, any woman this side of the mother of our Lord will most assuredly step into that breach and turn the man into a henpecked servant who mistakenly believes himself to be an alpha top dog -- a self-acknowledged beta male is not only more self-aware than this but more likely to be useful during chaotic conditions. No society can right itself when this level of spineless cluelessness is demonstrated, as it is right now, by the vast majority of men. It is a female's nature to turn herself into the center of the universe, but it remains the responsibility of males to prevent her from being successful in such an endeavor.
The buck stops with us, and, generally speaking, we're not doing anything about that. What is required is for men to stop devising strategies that rely on waiting around for the world to change or for women to get a clue.

Already have. Have you watched either of Oliver Stone's documentaries on what happened in Ukraine in 2014? Do you give no weight to the fact that the United States bears responsibility for provoking Russia by encouraging more and more European countries to join NATO in direct violation of our post-Soviet treaty promising not to have NATO encroach on Russia? Every president since the treaty but Trump has pushed NATO encroachment toward Russia, and our CIA with cooperation from the likes of Anthony Fauci even operated bioweapons labs in Ukraine near the Russian border. And as far as Crimea is concerned, why didn't Obama defend it against Russian takeover?: because he wouldn't have had an integritous, ethical or moral leg to stand on.
Unless Americans start caring only about themselves and give zero f... given for rest of world, you like be tax farm for globalist.
At a societal level you're right, but there will be individuals for whom this is a great blessing. @Transformator Reformator does not need to change society in order to do a lot of good in a ministry to individual women and families.
I don't see any need to change @Transformator Reformator's mind, regardless of whether he's right or wrong, as he actually has exactly the right attitude for a person who is called to the ministry that he feels called to. In the same way, I support a missionary working with underage prostitutes in the Philippines, who is a staunch monogamist - and I don't try to change his views on that, as being a staunch monogamist is an added hedge for him against the extreme level of temptation encountered in such a line of work. There is a place in the Body for a range of views, and sometimes it truly takes differing opinions to be effective in different ministries.
I realize you are a Ukrainian man, and as such you have a deep love for your people and nation. I think that is a proper and commendable sentiment. You see Russia invading your country, destroying your cities, and killing your innocent people.
I'm sorry, but both missionary work and 'ministry' these days sound more and more to me like "mi virtue-signaling plan to look like a hero while I coerce others into seeing things my way."
It's not entirely fair for me to blame this all on them. It would not be happening if those who profess Christ (including myself) were more faithful.
No, because promises about expansion was made to collective countries, Soviet Union and Soviet Union seized to exist. 2nd no, Russia including Putin himself considered to join Nato way before Ukraine was considered, have Russia been successful in that pursuit should have Ukraine been justified to invade Russia because Ukraine was part of Soviet Union. 3rd no, after Soviet Union Nato's mission changed to be against terrorism not against Soviet Union. We know that Russia was running things in Soviet Union, but legally on paper it was union of several countries hence there was provision in Soviet Union that those countries have voice and follow self determination. Based on that many republics had legal right to vote for independence.
Yes. I understand with presupposition that American government is evil I can see how one can fall for it. Confirmation bias is powerful thing. Also, in that movie Stone presents only one side view, if he have made good documentary who would insert opposing view claims. But secret knowledge sells better. Are not all his movies supposed to infer that master mind CIA is evil behind everything.
I am glad that you did that (watched those movies already). Much respect for that.
Bioweapons? CIA and Anthony Fauci are in different organizations. And is this accepted fact in Western media or is it possible that this is Russian disinformation. I can accept biolabs but how does one prove intent of bioweapons. Just because Russian UN representative mentioned mosquitos that supposedly targets specifically Russian DNA then it makes it true. Is it not possible that Russia correctly measure temperature in the world and its sensitivity to Covid discussion and made up those lies to excuse their invasion and gullible people listening to Alex Jones type will eat it. Let me remind you that Russia's friends are N Korea, China, Iran, and Soviet Russia and Russia created Hamas. And after all these you will continue to believe that CIA is more sinister then Russia's leadership. USA are good guys. And there are a lot of good people working in CIA who are Christians, Mormons, and patriotic Americans. There are a lot of issues in USA but it is still the best country in the world. Sorry @FollowingHim it is not Hungary. Orban's love for Putin and his corruption will come back to bite him.
Because Obama is coward and because he fell in love with his noble peace prize. Memorandum of 1994 says differently. But even apart from that Russia should have been punished swiftly because charter of United Nations which states, "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations." Is it not why Kuwait was protected? Evil not punished swiftly will result in bigger problems later. Hence WW3 is quite plausible. Consequence for cowardness and laziness can come soon. "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." - Ecclesiastes 8:11.
I do not know where this picture is from and how is related to polygyny in Ukraine and Russia. One does not need to be "globohomo" to know that Russia is wicked and needs to be stopped. Poland one of Ukraine's greatest allies has ban on abortions and same sex marriages and it assists Ukraine with aid and 15.4 million Ukrainian refugees passed through Polish Ukrainian border with 1.5 million residing in Poland.
I feel your frustration too.
Oh, they can certainly be that. But not all.
Ukraine and the Ukrainian people are not globohomo. They are unfortunately victims of a war for global domination between Putin (and BRICS nations) on the one hand and Globohomo (and NATO) on the other.
Couple things- most men who have played team sports understand the betamale role until it is their turn. However being an effective alpha is built upon doing time as the captain's "number 1".Neither one nor even both will be sufficient, because currently our culture is overwhelming dominated by men who are entirely unprepared to assume true headship of their families much less prepared to assume true leadership in their local or larger communities.

You don't care so much that you have been pushing Kremlin narrative every chance you get. It seems that you do not have heart of flesh but heart of stone instead. And since @Keith Martin liked your comment then same thing can be said about him. Where did that callousness come from? How is it possible that lost people display more fruit of the Spirit than some so called Christians? I am befuddled.
