I Want To Be Like Mike - Pence

Former Vice President, Mike Pencne, did something the future History books will call extraordinary. When Pence was on the campaign trail he faced a lot of critism regarding his faith in a country which claims to be Christian nation. I believe the critism was valid, because he did come off as WEIRD to many people for his religious beliefs that appeared to border FANTASISM.

So far, nothing weird. Mostly impressive. Michael Richard Pence (born June 7, 1959) is an American politician who served as the 48th vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. A deeply conservative Republican, he previously served as the 50th governor of Indiana (2013–2017) and represented the state in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001–2013). Okay. That's good, but nothing History book worth.

Vice President Pence set off for Hanover College, earning his bachelor’s degree in history in 1981. While there, he renewed his Christian faith which remains the driving force in his life. He later attended Indiana University School of Law and met the love of his life, Second Lady Karen Pence.

What was it about this successfal man that gave people the "icks"? Mike Pence stood on his religion and I am sure it was his faith and what it caused him to do because of it, that will be told in History books. Christianity is foundational to Mike Pence's life and political career. He famously summarizes his priorities as, "I’m a Christian, conservative, and Republican—in that order." Mike Pence converted from Roman Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity.

Raised Catholic, he experienced a profound evangelical conversion during college in 1978. He blends these traditions, often describing himself as an "evangelical Catholic". Moral and Political Compass: His religious convictions directly inform his policy stances, most notably his strong pro-life views and deep commitment to religious freedom legislation. In the public sphere: Pence views his time in office—from the U.S. House of Representatives to the Indiana governor's mansion and the vice presidency—as a calling to actively live out his faith in the public square.

What made Pence extra creepy is that he said GOD answers and speaks to him. Former Vice President Mike Pence openly attributes his guidance and decisions to his Christian faith and prayer. He frequently shares that he listens for God's voice and seeks divine direction, such as when he prayed for guidance on policy decisions or relied on his faith to certify the 2020 election results. There you go! That statement made MILLIONS believe Pence had loose screws. GOD DOESN'T TALK TO PEOPLE! The Bible highlights spirit-to-spirit communication primarilythrough the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit, as well as a spiritual fellowship among believers.

God's Spirit Connecting with the Human Spirit: Romans 8:16 – "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." 1 Corinthians 2:11 – "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God." John 4:24 – "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 1 Corinthians 6:17 – "But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." Proverbs 20:27 – "The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart."My reaction. I'm like, he knew better to say that on a public forum. Christians KNOW this from Bible study. BUT, we don't say it out loud because it FREAKS non-bekievers, even Christians. 

1 Corinthians 2:13 – "These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual." Colossians 2:5 – "For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ." Philippians 2:1 – "Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy..."

People don't believe what the Bible says. Many call the Bible a FAIRY tale. Bible studying Christians know this and experience this. Then I thought, "Wonder if he is pandering for votes and really don't believe it either but will SAY anything to win." I immediately didn't like him. Because if he was lying, that was a horrible way to honor God. Then I thought, "If he didn't know not to make that declaration publically, then he's gonna be the dumbest vice president yet."

His role at the White House was restricted and we barely heard from him. But, we saw how sweet he was to his wife. He was not out on news shows screaming lies. He was steady with the same face, voice, and manner every time you saw him. No visible aggregous faults and no fire neither. You got bored just LOOKING at him.

The election came and went. Then on January 6, 2021, certification of the winners in the election were to be certified by Congress. All eyes were on Pence. He probably had been pressured for weeks to not certify the election so Trump could stay in office as president. His follows blew up social repeat his marching order: Trump was cheated. But God showed up and the DEVIL showed out.

I'm sure due to Pence's religous conviction and walk with God, he could not be a part of national FRAUD nor LYING to the American people. A person who is following God does not participate in sin on any scale. Pence CERTIFIED the election results and became public enemy number one. Trump was furious and told the people who had been welcomed to ralley and protest this particular day (many from hate groups) a stolen election, were given ATTACK ORDERS on Pence. They wanted Pence's blood and other's blood. Anger and rage had been fanned towards Pence as Trump addresses the ravenous crowd. They were storming the Capitol like a rabied pack of wolves focused on delivering pain. They chanted as they broke windows and doors of the Capitol building, "HANG Mike Pence."

While menbers of Congress hid for their lives, Pence had anticipated the outcome of his decision. He knows his people and knew he would be signing his death warrant on that day. Pence CHOOSE GOD over EVIL. Now he is speaking out as mid-term elections draws nearer. 

People no longer looks at him as weird or a fanatic. They know the stregnth it took to go against his party. Against the president.They are ruthless when it comes to revenge and cancelling people. Trump would have investigated him on something and found him guilty. Everyone knew it and waited on it. Even in the face of this - Pence chose CHRISTIANITY.

He was the BRAVEST person on that day in D.C. I guess now people sees his character, stregnth, and courage to do what's right even when it is hard. FINALLY a POLITICIAN I can look up to. I hope in scary, tough, uncertain times, I won't bow to the pressures of evil. That, come what may, I choose to walk out my faith no matter the consequences.

My family does't like me writting on these serious topics. In 2021, I was threatened by the Red Pill community, because, I, a woman, who wrote a book about MANHOOD. Knowing a woman wrote about men, made them see red. The AUDACITY of a woman to tell men about men. I must be PUNISHED. My book was not a put down of those men, but an olive branch offering to let's find a way to solve this animosity between the sexes. I actually show in chapters that manhood has always had to be redefined with advancement of the society. 

Men have to do the work of defining what manhood is. The Caveman days and era of the Macho man caouldn"t survive in this present advanced technological age. There was nothing wrong with those men, but they needed to redefne manhood several times throughout History to have a new purpose in new ages. Manhood is going through a DIFFICULT GROWTH SPURT. Growth spurts can be painful at times and you don't know what kind of new you is being formed. The person is left confused then angry from loss of control. That's all that is occuring and women are waiting to see this modern day technologicaly man to come forward with new purpose and direction. Women are not DTERMINING this new MAN. That is a redefining JOB for men. They are still transforming.

At one time, all a man  had to do was kill something for dinner and he was manly. Next, those who faught in wars were thought of as manly. Next men on horses, then motor cycles, to the next redefining, and so on. Why this angered them when it was not an aggressive blame book, I don't know. But, that is why there is a war between the sexes and why I wrote the book. Not my best work. Needed a lot more editing. So, I won't suggest it even though the concept of MANHOOD always evolving to fit the times and what that was is fascinating though. BACK TO PENCE.

It was Pence's bravery which let us take a breath from Trump for a while. Pence wasn't finished yet. As Donald Trump went about his second campaign for president, many prominent people came out and WARNED it would be CATASTROPHIC if Trump wins the election. People wondered about Pence. Would he ENDORSE Trump and put his hat in the ring for VP again? In the last remaining days of the Presidential Campaign, Pence proved a HERO once again and warned people NOT to vote for Trump.

This man has balls for such a docile quiet speaking man with a purposeful slowness. Mike makes people smile more now, than think that he is some God zealot. Wow! I want to be like Mike! I want to always care for my eternal soul's last stop, which I want to be heaven. I am not out here brow beating non-Christian with rules MADE for those who voluntarily accept Christ and lives by JESUS' EXAMPLE. That was Pence. A quiet storm for the Lord. 

One of the Christian's duties/charge is to POINT people to God, the Cross and not to self. We DRAW people to the kingdom by the EXAMPLE we live which Jesus said would be totally different and strange to those who don't follow Christ. Our Christlike behavior and joy in the Lord (not circumstances or people) makes others WANT what we have. Pence did that every day (I hope his name isn't in the Epstein files and end up with egg on my face). His reward: ridicule at first, then RESPECT.

I now KNOW when Pence says he TALKS to God and God SPEAKS to him, it's true. No one could have stood the PRESSURE he faced WITHOUT God's encouragement. No one could have done what he did who DIDN'T fear the Lord, which makes God happy. He was in ESSENCE sacrificing his safety and possible life. No one, but a person with a personal relationship with God could do what he did. It took a stregnth beyond him. With God, we are more than conquerers through HIS power.

I'm a believer Pence! I'm already a Christian, but you allowed me to see God through your actions. I know God guides those who are LISTENING for his voice in whispers and shouts. When you are happy to talk to someone you love, they respond to that love. Try it yourself. Wake up every morning EXPECTING God's wisdom and guidance. Ask to hear His voice with clarity. Recognize HOW God answers you. There's NO such thing as COINCIDENCE. You won't hear from Him if you're not actively trying to listen to Him for answers. Then test to see was a one time fluke you believed to be God's voice really Him. Watch and varify how you got the answer and continue to look for that way. You will know for SURE if it's God or your imagination if you HATE the answer. 

It's a TOUGH answer. A godly answer you know is in the Bible, lol. The ultimate goal of this communication is so people can see God's NATURE of doing the right, godly thing, love and not hate. Truth and not lies. He doesn't encourage sinful behavior. Also notice WHY you don't like the answer received. It is exposing weaknesses about self. This is how people MATURE in Christ. Trust the answer and don't waiver.

Thank you. I pray Pence's continued strengnth and that his example remains true and clear and finally, tell God hi for me the next time yall convo. And GOOD LUCK in your run for president.

CULTS and Trump

 WHY ARE PEOPLE BELIEVING TRUMP IS SENT BY GOD? ARE THEY DEMONSTRATING SIGNS OF FOLLOWING A CULT LEADER?

    My daughters jokingly say they were raised in a "cult" and I was the cult leader. This in one way is flattering because cult leaders are extremely charismatic and make people feel loved, accepted, and as if they belong and matter. But cult leaders have a bad side also. It is said they use brainwashing techniques to attract and keep their followers. The followers identify with the cult leaders on some or many levels and admire them greatly. I in no way, shape, or form wanted my daughters to be followers. The parenting skills I believed I was implementing were intended to shape, form, and mold free thinkers. 

    When looking at the definition of a cult leader I found myself disagreeing with it. Religion and religious groups are only described as able to have a cult following, by one resource's definition. Of course, there are several infamous cults which center around religion such as David Koresh, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones. But not ALL cults are religious. Religious cult leaders claim to have direct contact or revelation from a God/Higher Power/ or from the Universe giving them insight/understanding/information/special knowledge that the members do not/cannot possess. In some cases, the leader tells the followers he CAN help them to come into the same awareness/knowledge/power if they follow his direction. Yes, most cult leaders are men. 

    Donald Trump is imfamous for making outlandish promises to his base. His followers do not seem to care that he is not able to deliver on many of his promises. But the really scary thing about Trump is he never objects or tell people not to put him in a savior category. He doubles down on their assessment and revels in being seen as god-like. Is he a cult leader and are his followers blind sheeps for the slaughter? Cult leaders and their followers has historically met with a bad end.

    I believe a cult leader can show up in any given area where there are people looking to be embraced. Hitler took cult leader to the highest deadliest level. Cult leaders are not just your everyday narcissists. The are what is defined as "traumatic" narcisissts. The actions of a traumatic narcissist has deleterious effects on their followers often persuading the follower into abusive situations or to carry out abuses on others. Can anyone say JANUARY 6th?

    Cult leaders are intuitive, able to read people. They thrive on chaos and create crisis situations tapping into well planted fears they have made the followers believe. Fox news is a vehicle for creating one fear after another for its viewers to grab a hold of. They are power-hungry and authoritarian. 

    One thing I find clever of the cult leader is they issue uniforms and titles. These two actions make the follower feel important and above the ordinary person in status. The uniform and title reinforces the idea the follower has a job and authority in his enlightenment within the group and over those without the revelation given to them by their leader. The MAGA hat and slogan is an example of a uniform which makes people feel part of a group, have a job, have a title, and have a mission to enlighten others. Another MOVE of the cult leader is to make tantalizing promises. His promises keeps the follower amped up in anticipation that any day the promise will come true. Hitler was a leader who used these cult practices.

There are three types of cult leaders: The Delusional Martyr, Preacher Turned Egomaniac, and the Hard and Fast Narcissist.

The Delusional Martyr: Is the most dangerous cult leader. Heaven's Gate leader, Marshall Applewhite instructed 39 members to commit mass suicide in 1997. He was convinced aliens would come to earth and take him and his followers away leaving their bodies for a higher existence. This group oriented delusion is called "Shared psychotic Disorder" according to the National Institutes of Health.

The Preacher Turned Egomaniac: May start out as a teacher, preacher, or an instructor of some sort then realizes people believe or hang onto their every word and become puffed up with such influence or his power to get people to listen to his every word. In 1978, Jim Jones, once a preacher, orchestrated the Jonestown Massacre in 1978, killing 900 people by instructing them to drink poison to commit suicide. 

The Hard and Fast Narcissist: Has been a narcissist the majority of their lives. they feel entitled to completely lie to a person or whatever they have to do to get others to believe whatever it is they are selling, whether it is God, a product, or anything. They are a bottomless pit of ego need. They are malignant narcissists and do not care about the lives they destroy, or the lies they tell, the damage they are doing, they just need to be loved, feared, adored. Many say former President Donald Trump falls into this category. 

WHICH CATEGORY DOES DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FOLLOWERS FIT INTO?

I would love to read your answer in the comments.

    The sad thing is there will always be a group of disenfranchised people, the outcast, or the person who has had enough of the way they have been negatively treated, waiting for someone to understand their plight and formulate a solution to address it. The cult leader will begin at the root of the unhappiness/discontent by saying they understand, validating the person, boosting self-esteem, and feelings of being heard. There is a formula or steps visible the cult leader takes, which those outside of the cult can plainly see. The steps are as follows.

  1.  Next the enlightenment talk begins, the ability to see the TRUTH others are blind to or are blatantly disregarding. A new vocabulary only the group is privy to forms, making the followers feel special and separated from others develops. 

  2.  Articles of clothing are introduced in some shape or form. The group takes pride in wearing the items and can be identified by them and titles are given so some sense of power and authority is bestowed upon the followers (no longer a group anymore. Leader and follower hierarchy has been established by now). 

  3.  The leader makes promises to the followers that are appealing and are told family and friends will turn against them for believing in the promises and the leader. Outsiders, or anyone who disagrees with the leader become a THREAT, ENEMY, INFERIOR. The leader makes the followers protective of him saying those who do not believe will want to destroy him with lies or even physical attacks. This is the point where the follower can become dangerous in an attempt to protect the message, doctrine, and/or leader from outside influences. The leader now has full control and can demand money or violence from the followers. The followers become weaponized by the leader. Just objects to be used as he sees fit.

    I have written a book Manhood Interrupted, But Never Destroyed, An Answer For The Red Pill Man addressing a group of men whose group has been described as a cult, in the RED PILL community. These men believe they are not treated as well as women by society Their rights as men are not recognized in the home and world at large. Women use sex to manipulate men. Women have made laws/polices beneficial to them by giving or withholding sex and thus are responsible for the bad condition of society. Women lie and call the police on men falsely claiming rape. The courts favor women in divorce awarding them the man's money/possessions and children in child custody battles. Women continually reject men in the dating scene.

    The Red Pill community have their own language, looks to a leader for instruction and ideology about women, attack outsiders or their enemy- women, verbally and on a few accounts physically. There is Red Pill apparel available for purchase, they actively recruit members usually unhappy young Republican White men, and offer comradery for men in private groups. This group checks many of the cult boxes of a cult. But what else makes a cult? The people who join the group or community. The Red Pill community and MAGA have traits of a cult.

    There are certain characteristics of those who are recruited, belong, join, connect with cults and cult leaders. People who join cults:

SEEK APPROVAL

FOLLOWERS BY NATURE, NOT LEADERS

SEEKING AN IDENTITY

SEEKING MEANING

SCHIZOTYPAL THINKING (not schizophrenic but dances on the edge and have odd beliefs/behaviors with conspiracy-type, alien-type, supernatural-type beliefs)

HIGHLY SUGGESTIBLE

CONSTANTLY BLAME OTHERS

ALWAYS ANGRY

VERY LOW SELF-ESTEEM

    Angry social media communities can easily spin into a cult. No one in America would have believed 2,000-2,500 Americans would attack the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. People watched the news with utter shock and disbelief as rioters forced their way into the Capitol Building in an effort to overturn election results and harm employees of the government including the vice president. I can guarantee none of the people involved in the protest and attack would classify themselves as cult members but I bet their family members would. 

    The rioters, MAGA, follow a charismatic leader and hang on his every word or instruction. They believe they are understood finally by their leader. They subscribe to conspiracy theories. Those who don't believe the leader are deemed inferior, a danger, or an enemy. The leader enlists fear as a tool for action and to ensure his followers remain angry along with wild promises (he delivers many). He plays a martyr saying the media is attacking him. He dictates their source of information. The main part of the uniform is the MAGA hat. Bullying is used as an abuse tactic. The leader often proclaims his brilliance, and he is the only one who can help them and change the country/world. His blatant lies are ignored for the common good of their ideology. The leader separates followers from family who do not believe the same. He uses his power to elevate followers to positions and titles. Money flows, weapons flow, and discontent grows. Crisis after crisis only he can solve is echoed by the leader.

    In the end, a large number of followers of cult leaders end up dying. The leader eventually crosses a line in his big grab for power or relevance resulting in their death. No special enlightenment is needed to know the Cult of Trump is going to end in some form of disaster even bigger than January 6, 2021. History repeats itself.  

    This is what the Bible says about FALSE teachers (leaders) who bring truth into dispute 2 Peter 2:10-14. They are bold and arrogant.

"This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority... With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning, they SEDUCE the UNSTABLE; they are experts in GREED - an accursed brood!"

    Please by my book The Politics of Prayer in which I talk about how politics is supposed to play in the Christians life and about those elected to government positions of power. It is a book that will surely help Christians and non-Christians understand how not to let religion go astray when dealing with corruption in the government and its officials. My book is available on amazon.com
