Investors Exit Downgraded Target Stock – Epoch Times

17 Jul 2023 Michael A

American consumers started boycotting Target in May, after the retail chain rolled out its Pride collection, which included some items that targeted children, including books, home décor products, and transgender swimsuits for adults with a “tuck-friendly” feature. In the first two weeks of May, when the company’s Pride controversy began to go viral, its market capitalization declined by $1.85 billion. …Total institutional inflows for Target were about $35 million in Q2 compared with $2.14 billion in the first quarter, according to data from MarketBeat. Meanwhile, total outflows for Q2 were $91.4 million, down from $1.07 billion in the previous quarter. …Target’s Pride campaign and its financial support to organizations such as GLSEN that facilitate “secret gender transitions for kids” raises concerns regarding child protection laws of various states and also the economic interest of the company’s shareholders, it stated.

IN-DEPTH: Transgender Movement Has ‘Dangerous’ Hidden Motivations, Says Former LGBT Activist – Epoch Times

30 May 2023 Michael A

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Despite consumer opposition, companies believe backing transgenderism will win them more long-term cash because it has the approval of global regulatory power players, according to women’s rights activist Kay Yang. The push is part of a philosophical movement aimed at allowing for customization of the human body with sex-change surgery, technological advances, and more, she said. And companies seek to be part of this fast-growing lucrative industry. Yang speaks with authority on the push to build acceptance for transgenderism. She’s seen that cabal from the inside. …Monetizing the Human Body – Sex-change surgery, cross-sex hormones, and breast implants are just the beginning, she said.Trying to “customize” the human body with technology is called “transhumanism”—going beyond being human.

California Mom Reclaims Young Daughter From Clutches of Trans Agenda in Middle School—Here’s How – Epoch Times

29 May 2023 Michael A

California mom Erin Friday, 56, …her then 11-year-old daughter. It started innocently enough: just a few boyish-sounding nicknames …But innocent it was not. A few girls, including Friday’s young one, were heard chattering in the front yard about some new things they learned at school…. “Five girls, each one of them picked a label that was on the alphabet, and they actually kind of giggled at me and said, ‘You’re cis, and you don’t understand,’” Friday told The Epoch Times. “I had never heard the term ‘cis’ before, and then they said, ‘Okay boomer.’” …Friday’s once-girly daughter—a huge “My Little Pony” fan—started draping herself in baggy sweatshirts…. But as the “My Little Pony” fan crossed into “soldier girl” territory, lacing up combat boots; as long-haired female friends started assuming guys’ names; as the purple and green hair dye broke out, mom’s worry worsened. So, this curious culture began bearing its strange and noxious fruit. It became cool to have a label. As one girl identified as pansexual, another called herself polyamorous (open to multiple partners), nonsensically. “Half her Girl Scout troupe came out as transgender,” Friday said. Out came the breast binders. Girly voices suspiciously dropped low overnight. “My daughter picked ‘pansexual,’ she was 11….

Coming to a Street Corner Near You: Youth Arrested for Handing Out Bibles – The New American

28 May 2023 Michael A

Within four minutes of participating in a rally in Calgary, Canada, supporting a student’s defiance of the woke agenda being promoted in his high school, Josh Alexander was arrested. His alleged crime? Handing out Bibles to the student participants. The real reason? Josh Alexander, for whom the rally was named (the “I Stand with Josh Alexander” International Walkout Protest), has a history of defying the authorities in the name of Jesus Christ. …Kicking Josh out of school for expressing his Christian beliefs regarding sexuality and gender is unlawful religious discrimination.

The application details the shockingly discriminatory conduct of teachers and students at St. Joseph’s, as well as Principal [Derek] Lennox’s retaliatory decisions to suspend and exclude Josh for expressing his beliefs and organizing a student walk-out to protest St. Joseph’s policy of permitting biological males to enter and use the girls’ washrooms.

SBC Preacher J D Greear on Gay Marriage

26 May 2023 Michael A

The purpose of this post is to show what has happened to the values of, SBC preacher, J D Greear between the years of 2014 and 2021. He flip-flopped from holding biblical doctrine to holding un-biblical doctrine. In the initial video, from 2014, you will hear Pastors Voddie Baucham, Russell Moore and J D Greear discussing gay marriage. These men also say a lot about biblical marriage and what has happened via cultural influences. Each man was pro-Bible in his doctrine. In the second video, 2021, you will hear what J D Greear said then about gay marriage and homosexuality. His doctrinal stance had become anti-Bible. In the second video, sound advice is offered for SBC members.

Babylon – What Most Christians Don’t Know

18 May 2023 Michael A

This post used an Answers in Genesis video: In discussing Babylon as it is revealed in scripture, he talked about the term Babylon also being a metaphor for the godless systems of mankind that reveal his pride and rebellion against God. These anti-God systems of power are shameless and corrupting; they applaud debauchery, mock virtue, cancel truth… and are obsessed with power. …As the following 10-minute excerpt begins, he is talking about mankind’s rebellion at Babel and showing parallels with the pride and rebellion of our own day….

Jesus Saves Another from the LGBTQ community

12 May 2023 Michael A

This post contains a 23-minute personal testimony of a homosexual who was led to Jesus. His testimony occurred over several years and is still going on, which seems to be typical. That is, I think that most who are converted from a long-life of sin go through a process something like he described. He now works for First Stone Ministries, which helps the sexually broken. I hope his story is a source of hope for others who are helplessly stuck in sin, sexual and other varieties of sin. Jesus saves sinners, if you are a sinner, then you are qualified to be one of His saved ones.
