"Amnesty without demand for accountability or repentance is surrender."

In Christianity, forgiveness of sin comes from a request of forgiveness that is accompanied by a confession of specific sin and demonstration of true, sorrowful repentance for that sin and a commitment not to engage in that sinful behavior any longer.

I fail to see where those looking for amnesty are acting this way.

Never. The way people with legitimate questions were treated is unimaginable. We may look back on COVID as the moment our slide into totalitarianism escalated. Up was down, down was up. 1984 was playing out in real time. We should demand full mea culpas, then point, ridicule mercilessly and ensure it never happens again.

If those that be would ever seriously ask for forgiveness, I could forgive, but I couldn't ever forget.

They are uncapable of seeing the error in what they do though, so they'll never ask for forgiveness. They'll continue to double down and vilify the right.

Hell no. They knew. They knew we knew as well. They didn't care it was all about power and control. They shut down legit doctors that spoke out of what was going on. They fired 1000's of people. How do they get their lives back? People were forced to get jabbed to keep jobs for kids to go to school.

My mom died during covid. She as 82. She was healthy as can be but covid locked her down because of fear and she developed blood clots in her legs because she didn't go anywhere. Church was closed down, all her friends were old and they didn't get together for their weekly lunches and dinners. My sisters did her grocery shopping for her. So no lockdowns killed my mother. I couldn't visit but a few minutes in the hospital, I couldn't visit in person at the physical rehab facility. I would stand in the 90-100 degree heat and talk to her on the phone through a window to her room. She would sit there and cry because she couldn't hug her youngest son. She never recovered from the clots and quickly got worse and worse because of the clots. They send her home to die. I got to see my mom. We cried together the day before she passed, she had suffered for months in pain and going down hill. So no there is no forgiveness without penance.

Governor Inslee here was suppose to FINALLY give up his emergency powers this week, don't know if he did but before that he recently made the vax a permanent requirement for state workers. frick him and frick them!
I want restitution, admittance of wrong doing then stopgaps and measures put in place so this abuse never happens again.

You already know what you fail to see it this way... and it's because you see the truth.

I can forgive. I've been compelled by my inner voice to bestow forgiveness for many, many transgressions throughout my life. I still have many of my own deeds to atone and be forgiven for. I try. It's not enough, but I do try, to find adequate repentance in hopes of balance.

What I am incapable of, is "forget". At least at this point in my life, my memory is dreadfully sharp to a fault. I still remember shite from 35 years ago like it was yesterday. Stuff from grade school that I bring up to what few friends I have left, and they really don't remember even though they were there. I'm in my mid-40s and left California when I was single digits in age, but still very clearly remember the first and last name of almost every classmate I had in the second grade, though I haven't known anything of them since the 80s.

I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but it's what I have. I remember.

I cannot forget. I can forgive, but I can't forget. Such strong memory makes forgiveness very difficult and taxing. I pray for patience in this aspect.

Memory like that is a blessing and a curse. I’m similar. I remember things forever, and it’s not always good. But some things you can’t let go. What these bastards did to our country, not just to me, is unforgivable.

At a minimum, pandemic penance.

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Remember when those same social-distance Nazis trying to keep everyone locked in their houses glued to their TVs and phones and under the firm control of the matrix were presented with the George Floyd riots? What was their reaction to those mass-spreader events? Right? At that point it was obvious this was all a fraud, and a designed fraud at that. At that point there was no further legitimacy to the Branch COVIDian nonsense.



I was always a sceptic, but this was my breaking point.

Maybe the purebloods should get reparations?

The same people that behaved in an authoritarian manner the first time, would do so again in a heartbeat if given the chance.

Their claim is a hell of a lot more legitimate than those of others demanding them.

If you forgive this, even if you don't forget, they will do it again. It may be climate change. It may be racism or white supremacy. It may be SEC referees. The excuse doesn't matter: they will invent one to further control.

They are demanding forgiveness without apologizing to avoid accountability.

Yes- that means they intend on doing it again and next time they will tell you "well, you wanted it and asked for it"

Yours is a known phenomenon.

If you become curious about it - and how could you not be curious- there are studies and writings on your kind of memory.

I found them when I started noticing the nature of my own onset of forgetfulness. My own aided by 7 years of linebacker play in high school and college.

My memory usually works fine, it just take a little time sometimes AND I have to care for what it is. I have known of a few CTE cases, a suicide included, and man is it a dreadful condition. It may end football in time; if Saban and Smart don't with their massive cheating.

Research a little - you will find a lot about your supermemory.

and BTW, I have no forgiveness for this Jobs woman at the Atlantic and her "amnesty". She can rot in hell with the rest of the totalitarian schmucks that inflicted that part of the shitshow on Americans

Foo, you are getting awfully close to being a Catholic there with the whole demonstration of remorse thing. How dare you ask people who trespass to make a mends and have to do penance. That's so unfair.

You are right though. Take care.

Hell No! They suspended our constitutional rights, tried to force us to take unsafe vaccines, and used the pandemic to steal an election. No amnesty, no forgiveness.
