Australian Christian Lobby says any new laws protecting people from cults could be ‘very dangerous’
Lobby groups tell Victorian inquiry legitimate churches could be caught up in any proposed crackdown on coercive practices
Yeah dammit, might keep people from joining the ACL.

"This is what Trump does: he forces everyone around him to choose between truth and access, between principle and convenience, between friendship and tribal loyalty. My friend chose access over truth, convenience over principle, tribal loyalty over friendship."

"That’s his right, but it’s also a choice that reveals character in ways that make continued relationship impossible.
You can’t maintain genuine friendship with people who require you to share their delusions as the price of their company, who demand that you pretend not to see what you’re seeing, who treat clear-eyed assessment of obvious character flaws as psychological pathology."

I guarantee you there will be a sizable portion of the population that will not belive the official story when Trump dies – even up to not believing that he's even dead.
This cult will worship their divine great leader forever.

"When The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, no one could have dreamed that it would become the longest-running theatrical release film in history. But that's what happened."
Such fun!

I've been listening to a good #RNZ #podcast, The Lodge. It's about a wellness #cult and the members and the victims. It's presented by an investigative journalist, Phil Vine.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/the-lodge#RSS is here but I found it in my podcast player of choice's catalogue.
Worth listening to if that's your sort of thing. I think it's still ongoing (I'm a couple of episodes behind)

Good God. Destroying the Constitution and the rule of law with the compliance of denuded legislatures and courts is not a "winning streak." It is fascism. #BrokenTimes.

Sir #TrumpVirus called it (exact quote),
"The single most popular bill ever signed"
Even given his #BrainSpurs & long history of #doublespeak and flat-out lies,
this seems like a wee bit of.... BS!
Having our healthcare, education, environment, rights, consumer protections, aid to the elderly, ill, and childcare/nutrition ripped away, is "popular"?
He's so smart. More like #evil.
With a #cult of #GQP sychophants who have given the Devil his due, and We the People, nothing.

If God fearing Christians actually feared God they wouldn’t be part of the Trump cult.
