I apologized as I was driving, she accepted that since she had just "got into town as well " then abruptly hung up

It definitely goes to show they don't like people to keep them waited. But sure like to keep us waiting lol

We’re merely pawns. Doing their bidding and posting their messages for the world to see. I know my place. Lol

Got in trouble once for waiting I won’t do it again. Hahah

I am not sure where to stand. I want to help, but i do not know if its my job to save them. I am having deja vu.

Maybe she doesn’t want to be helped.

I get the sense that she is doing exactly what she wants to. Her dad doesn’t want her on social media but she’s doing it anyways.

It is possible she has her own agenda.

she absolutely doesn't need Ig taken away. As an adult it's HER choice, and she deserves to do what she wants to, it's not someone else's choice.

but... I don't know if Dorthea is bad either. As others have said, maybe he's scared of technology... maybe he wants things to stay the same and not change.

I hope we have some light shed on this subject.

What is at risk by her being on technology?

Truer words have never been spoken. Maybe you are all being indoctrinated. Maybe YOU are the cult.

Think this through for a moment:

On one side a shadowy, nefarious organization.
On the other, a down-to-earth woods family.

One pushes. One pulls. One suggests control. One suggests freedom. And as they call you all, people begin to feel connected. Seen. Validated. Connected.

These are the very steps of a cult programming.

I continue to worry for you all.

Regardless I personally relate most to the elite because I purchased the most expensive ticket. I didn't at first, but after I purchased it I realized I may well be closer to an elite than I'd thought. I wanted the 3+ hour over the top experience. Didn't cross my mind. Now I'm feeling a bit hedonistic.

Now I'm feeling a bit hedonistic.

And here is where I have to admit that I am not entirely immune, either. opulens challenged me to take a photo and I immediately did so. I have also bought the most expensive ticket because, frankly, spending the evening in that tent sounds like it will be unique and as you say, hedonistic.

I am contemplating buying a second. No. I am not immune.

But I am trying to hold onto the idea that we know nothing about either group. That we have no way to believe either is actually doing anything for us, rather than for themselves. And perhaps it costs me these phone calls and interactions others get because I am not standing in one camp or the other. If so, then so. Standing firmly in the "I will choose when I see/hear something that SHOWS me a reason" is just as loud a knock and just as from the chest as anything else.

I have told the elite personally quite a bit about myself when they asked. Should the Redcurves do so, I'd do the same. Because I am willing to tell them the truth as I see it. I hope at some point they will do the same, and then we shall see where we stand for real.
