Well, I have visited my hometown for a 2nd spring break during Resurrection day only because I was lucky enough to not have any work up in Green Bay (Thursday night - Monday afternoon). And I thank God for having this opportunity to visit friends, family, and fellow believers.
During my time in the Milwaukee I was able to visit my cousins, friends from churches, and school. And I ended up inviting them for a Monday afternoon cookout/get-together. Although I didn't think about inviting my family's church friends till Sunday afternoon, I did invite them because I only see them at church and church events, when I also wish to see them outside of church events more often to get closer to them and knowing them more.
There are a lot of reasons why I wish to do this:
1) First being, I love them and like hanging out with them.
2)Another is I have interests in many possible future wives... (note: I love being single too as I have lots of freedom)
3)also I wish to get to know their (both genders) views and personality
4)And lastly, becoming closer to them allows them to understand me and my views. I have wanted to show some individuals things, but no opportunity has seemed to arise.
When I see people I wish to show them the things I know so badly, but because of Brainwashing by Corporate media and Government Schools they become more quick to judge on the label than eager to understand an alternative view, finally come to an objective conclusion whether it be acceptable/true or not. As a result of this, when I talk on certain topics, it results me being labeled a "radical", or "extremist" as I have been called by members of my family church and some individuals of my family... This is only because:
1)they do not wish to listen to what i have to say...
2)have heard (by corporate media) that people who believe what I believe are lunatics and radicals without backing it up with objective reasons why.
3)have not done any studying or research in the subject
4) They are simply Closed minded
5) They are programmed to judge very quickly on little to no information on the subject.
And because of these things the only way to speak on "touchy" topics to an average normal brainwashed American is by a strong friendship and trust. It seems there is almost no other way, but to become an influential character by friendship.
However the de-brainwashed/unique American will listen even what a stranger has to say and will not judge as quickly. They will then either agree with the person or disagree and explain why (if time permits).
I am here on this Earth to spread the truth, and nothing more. And the truth is found through reasoning and debates. And as Thomas Jefferson says, "Truth is the highest form of patriotism"
Here is a recent good youtube vid I have watched
Here is an awesome song I like. Don't like the lyrics, just like the beat for this one
P.S. any ladies that have interest in me, I suggest that you mention (preferably) in person you have read this, or that you read my blogs . It is even more interesting if you comment, make a remarks or, disagree (and state good reasons why). By stating that you read or listen to what I have to say not only inspires me as I know someone reads what I have to say, but also It will probably give me more interest in you as I seek a Christian woman who will at least listen to what I have to say and if in disagreement state why.

I know what you mean about "the average brainwashed American". Actually most humans will listen to another persons ideas and viewpoints for quite some time but in the first few remarks of a conversation a person will have already made up his/her mind on a subject.
ReplyDeleteIn a songwriting book that I've been reading ("The Craft and Business of Songwriting" by John Braheny) there was a particular paragraph that I found to be really interesting and accurate:
"Len Chandler and I [John B.] have a phrase, "man on the mountain," for a particularly preachy kind of stance. It translates to ""I, at my tender age, have gone to the mountaintop and learned the secret of the universe. And now, from this lofty perch, I'm going to tell all you unfortunate, unenlightened people how to llive your lives."" As a listener, I have one demand: Don't preach to me! If I want to be preached at, I'll go to church. If I need guidance, I'll look for someone with credentials. I'm not anti-message songs. On the contrary, I don't think there are enough effective ones around. I'd just like writers to take there messages seriously enough to devote some time and craft to ensuring I receive them... Some people might respond to the sledgehammer, preachy "You've got to," "You'd better," "Don't ever" school of thought, but more of us would probably rather be led gently than driven to enlightenment with a whip."
So I agree with you.. to have a large impact or influence in someone's life you must first befriend them and gain their trust.
P.S. good luck w/ the wife 'search'. I know how rare similar minded people are.
