Golden Calf Syndrome

Where I grew up, corner confectionary shops were turned into neighborhood Christian churches. Along with barber shops and park benches, they provided spaces for neighbors to mingle. 

Now I myself am not religious by nature, but have read that the god those people converse with prefers such conversations occur in the solitude of their homes. It is a more personal relationship and not one to be flaunted on street corners as if bragging, “Look at me! God loves me!”


The scriptures also remind them not to build gilded or golden images to worship in order to impress your neighbors. That, again, would be braggadocios and vain. I could be wrong, however, as I look around, I can’t help but wonder if ornate cathedrals, Trump Towers, golden lapel pins, and mega churches are not modern versions of the biblical golden calf. 


Matthew 6:5-8

They are trying to force government leaders to follow their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of...

Caught Between Two Worlds

I was just an infant when I was taken from my homeland of Canada’s First Nations. “Now I live as a foreigner to my people. The pain that is often spoken of that comes with such separation and loss is only dwarfed by the pain of being taken from the life you were born into and forced to live an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist.  This is a perspective not brought up enough. However, it explains the common feeling of being caught between “two worlds” shared by many who are victims of this industry. The knowledge of the industry, its propaganda and the global child supply market along with my own first hand experience makes me a formidable threat to this trafficking scheme. It’s been my steadfast pursuit of the truth that has empowered me to raise my voice despite worldwide opposition. . . . From childhood innocence, to truth in adulthood, I have learned of horrifying atrocities committed in the name of “adoption” or rather the act of taking someone else’s child to own them. The ...
