For the record, I don't see anyone who doubts "the plan" as wrong or evil. It's pretty easy to reach a bleak viewpoint based on lots of things that have happened, and I know extremely smart people who have done so. It does make them quite depressed, though.

Personally, I think things are going to work out and can point to evidence that supports of that view. And for the most part, I stay in a fairly positive space as a result.

But cognitive bias means we notice whatever fits with what we already believe. And that means neither you nor those who "trust the plan" really know what's what. We're just doing our best to figure out what makes the most sense to us, and we don't necessarily reach the same conclusions.

So I guess my advice is to not take it as bullying if someone offers a different view. They probably just want to cheer you up and offer some hope.

I agree with you - and we also have to toss in what people are going thru on a personal level every day. I'm looking at being homeless soon, with 7 adult children in tow (5 have autism). My abusive ex is forcing the sale of our home and there is nothing I can afford, no rentals, so we may be living out of two cars soon. Everything we own would end up in storage.

So being frustrated that 'the plan' includes allowing severe food shortages to happen, that people are losing their homes, that homelessness is on the rise, etc...it plays into everything as well.

As far as people bullying, maybe I should have expanded. I have been blocked by people simply for writing what I did here - other anons when I share that who blocked me, go to look and THEY are blocked by the same people and had no clue.

I've been mocked, verbally spit on, threatened, and when I reply (nicely) the poster deletes all of it - they know I read it, and then they delete it. Bullying to the max. And they block me

Nana totally understands your despair hun and you can have what ever opinion you like here. Nana is not condemning you, just saying what I see as the truth of our situation, my truth.

I am just looking at the reality of what our options are and I trust God no matter what those options are I know that I am an infinite piece of Him and no matter what happens I will be ok whether it is in this Earth suit or some other vessel.
Prayers for God to give you peace in your heart.

Thank you Nana - I love your openness. I know you're not condemning me, others have. They have mocked me, verbally spit on me, and more - when I reply, nicely, they delete everything and either send more vitriol, or block me. They know I've read what they wrote, and then delete it so I can't say anything.

Or, I get people telling me I am not an anon and don't belong here because I question things...I don't follow blindly, I question. As anons, we're supposed to 'question everything'. Yet when we do, we're blindsided by our own people :(

I also fully trust God in all of this, I don't trust any human plan, I trust God's ultimate plan. If the human 'plan' falls in line with God's plan, then it's a wonderful thing. This is why I question - because man's plan may not be aligned with God's or it strays away over time.

I'm still here. I still have hope. But things are looking really grim. And we have food shortages looming, and personal issues and it's all one big mess :(
