Planned Parenthood: Teach your preschoolers 'their genitals don’t determine their gender' http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/0...oolers-to-know-gender-and-sex-arent-same.html From the same people who spend every waking moment furthering infanticide, lobbying for Fed/State $$$, paying-off corrupt politicians with same Fed/State $$$ and selling baby parts. Like most Unions, it's just another $$$ laundering scheme of the Democrat Party. A Party, now, that is nothing but an amalgam of the Lunatic Fringe, Illegals, Welfare Slaves and the Abortion/Union Lobbies. The only explanation is Satanic!! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
I can't deny it, as the topic is so subjective, and I accept your bona fides. From my own experience, unpleasant memories tend to be the very ones I can't forget. A common theme in popular culture is that of memories coming back to haunt people, generally in the context that they would wish to suppress them, if they could. What troubles me is the impossibility of objective proof and the unquestionable opportunity the concept provides for the unscrupulous to make dishonest claims. The bishop in this case may be guilty of the crime alleged, but if he is innocent, how on earth is he to defend himself against an invented 'suppressed' memory?
At least it makes null the Planned Parenthood propaganda that opposing abortion represents a 'war on women', since, by their own logic, such identities cannot be determined by the mere anatomical appearance of those who obtain abortions. In this (very insane) brave, new, satanic world it is as likely as not that those aborting their babies are men!
Post-modernists apparently think (I use this latter word advisedly) that such things as 'truth', 'logic' and 'reason' are nothing in themselves, but exist only as cultural constructs. Some, for example, claim that reason and logic are merely weapons invented by successful civilisations to oppress less successful ones. It is a current manifestation of the heresy of Nominalism. The lunatics that make these claims assert that nothing is really true or reasonable in itself, but is only so by virtue of society willing it to be. The rest of us are to accept that an exception can be made for the claim itself. In other words, we must accept the statement that "there is no such thing as absolute truth...and that's the absolute truth".
The whole area of so-called suppressed memories is certainly a murky one, I won't deny that. I know that this phenomenon became a major problem with the use of certain dubious psychoanalytical and therapeutic techniques that came into vogue during the 80s and 90s, with devastating consequences for what turned out to be innocent people. I know of a family that was completely destroyed by this when the daughter, under some kind of regression therapy, resurrected "suppressed" memories of being sexually abused by her father. It turned out to be all a fabrication by an over-enthusiastic regression therapist. But then, why should a supposed suppressed memory be any more difficult to defend oneself against than a fully conscious memory, or indeed a recent event in which there are no other witnesses? It all boils down to 'your word against mine'. I have no doubt that sexual abuse is a traumatic experience for children and in the case of childhood trauma, memory works in very mysterious ways. I've done a lot of research on this. I also do not think that suppressing a memory is synonymous with forgetting, or that unpleasant memories are synonymous with traumatic experiences. We're dealing with distinct phenomena here. But certainly it is very murky water to try and navigate.
A suppressed memory might be no more difficult to defend oneself against than a fully conscious one. If the suppressed memory, a concept I personally cannot conceive, is genuine it doesn't matter as both represent expressions of the truth. My concern is those cases where the phenomenon is taken advantage of by those unscrupulous enough to invent an allegation under its guise or, as in your example, where the power of suggestion inadvertently injects a false memory unintentionally taken as real. The scope for error seems enormous. Sorry, I was a tad flippant describing suppression of memory as 'forgetting'. The latter is passive and accidental, while presumably the former is active and intentional in some way. For my own part, if I try to make some unpleasant thought go away I find that it only occupies my consciousness all the more. Prayer and distraction might work, but not usually permanently. I find that I need to tease out such thoughts and get to the bottom of them, solve the problem, if possible, in other words.
More ........... HullyGee!!! …. and I thought the Democrat Party was a “Big Tent” Party? It still astounds me that the USA, in 50 years, has gone from a Nation of Laws and Judeo-Christian Principles to a literal Freak-n-Horror Show ………… and the citizenry Yawns .... and goes to the Mall. ....... and sadly, these past 5 decades, the Laity has Yawned and gone to the Mall as Our Church ...........

Russia is not a Communist country. I think you are confusing Russia with the Freemason-run, apostate West. Russia has been Christian (with valid Sacraments) for longer than the United States has existed. Communism (which is nothing more than militant atheism put into political force) was an aberattion in Russia's long history of being Orthodox. The 1917 overthrow of Orthodox Russia and the murder of the Christian Czar was done by the ancestors of the same people who violently overthrew Ukraine. They even used the same old tricks in Ukraine of "color revolution" and "protests." In fact, the same modus operandi that was used in 1917 in Russia has also been deployed by Team Neocon in Ukraine and Syria and pretty much everywhere else they desire to affect regime change. Christian Russia was hijacked in 1917 by Jewish Freemasons and Bolsheviks.
As Pat Buchanan astutely points out, the US Congress is Israeli-occupied territory. The Bolshevik revolution was an anti-Russian, and anti-Christian (not pro-Judaistic as the Bolshevik Jews were all atheistic) revolution in effective terms. Tens of millions of Russians were murdered by it. Ultimately, as the communists became more nationalistic and imperialistic and less interested in comintern, they became sickened with the Jews and expelled most of them. This type of criticism is considered anti-semitic, of course, but the definition of anti-semite has changed from an anti-semite being defined as a person who dislikes Jews to being a person whom Jews dislike. While the overwhelming majority of the victims of the Holocaust were completely innocent people going about their business, the truth is that communism in the early twentieth century was disproportionately influenced by Marxist-inspired Jews. It has been described that ten per cent of the Jews of Europe at that time were communist revolutionaries and half of the revolutionaries were Jewish. One need only study Hungarian history in the single year of 1919 to see this influence. The great tragedy is that the Holocaust was further enabled by the hostility in Central and Eastern Europe generated against the Jews as a people due to the Bolshevik activities of a minority of them. Additionally, there was a cynical exploitation of this historic tragedy to further the ends of Zionism. The source of the continuing enmity against Russia emanating from the United States requires intense scrutiny. The first question, in light of the strategic alliances of Russia in the Middle East region, would be 'who benefits'?
Good news... https://www.ft.com/content/643db6e0-7978-11e7-90c0-90a9d1bc9691 UN approves US-drafted sanctions proposal against North Korea China and Russia support resolution to deprive Pyongyang of $1bn in revenues August 5, 2017 Keep Praying!
The "Usual Suspects" in the Global Left Media and Democrat Party are gonna go after this Guy for daring to NOT bend his knee to their Pervert Agenda. There will calls for his resignation and/or ouster! I suggest we pray for him and all of our leaders of Faith & Good Will!!

PS: I wonder what we will hear from PF's Vatican Media and Friends on this. They seem overly interested in stickin' their noses in USA business .... whilst during 8 years of Obama's Reign they were deafeningly silent about his Pro-Abortion/Perversion Agenda and attacks on Religion Clingers (Traditionalists).
I hope that this just emboldens us all the more to push NK for disarmament. Cause if the NK's think we are going to treat them badly I would really hate to be them when Japan finally has enough of their popping ICBM's their way. Japan already has the missile tech and uranium on hand now to make and fire nuclear tipped ICBM's. They landed the Hayabusa probe on a comet, something no other nation has ever done.
Shoot, Im going to keep praying for all of them cause this is one heck of an answer to a whole slew of mine right here!
As we are witnessing more and more......Satan no longer in hiding; time is short and his followers are now blatantly "out there" worshipping him: ‘Hail Satan!’: Satanist Delivers ‘Historic Invocation’ At City Council Meeting (VIDEO) This is simply bizarre. A Satanist kicked off a Colorado city council meeting with a ‘historic invocation’ hailing Satan. In a move that both attracted and scared away attendees from a Colorado council meeting, a Satanist delivered the invocation Wednesday. Those opposed gathered outside while Andrew Vodopich became the first Satanist in the state to deliver the prayer. Representing the Western Colorado Atheists and Freethinkers, Vodopich delivered the invocation at the Grand Junction City Council meeting. The one minute prayer would have failed to raise an eyebrow had it not been for a “Hail Satan” tacked to the end. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...storic-invocation-city-council-meeting-video/
This seems to be on the increase. Also, such satanic sentiments are increasingly common amongst those opposing pro-life protests. Unsettling though it might be, there is the consolation that things are becoming less confusing and ambiguous. This increasing clarity implies, however, that there will be no excuses for those who choose the dark side.
They do this stuff under the guise of " religious tolerance". A lot of the Satanist groups are fronts for the atheists who are just trying to get Judeo Christian influence out of the society. They troll around the country looking for ways to use the "separation of church and state" against Christians mostly. The govts are rolling over on their bellies trying to accommodate the crazy agendas being put forth in our society at the moment. If you step back a bit, it is almost comical how people are trying to "virtue signal" by accommodating all this craziness. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, please help us!
