The well read woman

Tater jumped over Filly’s legs as she sat reading the book out loud while sitting on the thick carpeted floor of Tater’s pink bedroom. The story Filly was reading was exciting and Tater walked around, or mainly jumped when she got excited. Her themed pink and blue pajamas were too short for the eight year old’s long legs and her hair still wet from the warm bath earlier, clung to her damp and rosy forehead. She listened intently. Filly had wanted to read to Tater after going to a “well read woman” book club meeting in North Carolina.

In the book she was reading, the girl in the story was obedient but was treated poorly. She wanted to escape her “life” which she believed was bad. And the mother who had raised her, who was dirt poor, who was demonized in the book, had at least ‘let the girl be born”.

Filly thought that the worst form of discrimination, worse than having a mean mother, was having a mother who murdered the child or committed “death by abortion”. Those babies who were not allowed to live, who were discriminated against and deleted, basically because they were “not planned” had no chances at all, unlike the girl in the book.

The girls name in the book, ADA was also an acronym for the American Disabilities Act, which said that a person could not discriminate against a person with a disability. “Isn’t it ironic, doncha think”, Filly thought. The very people who wanted to demonize moms, were actually moms who praised those who virtue signaled about caring for people with disabilities, while having abortions.

Filly wondered if being a baby was also considered a “disability”, but apparently it was not. She wondered if a person who “discriminated” against that baby (with the disability of being dependent), by killing them, should be tried by a jury of their peers? In normal murder cases, that was what happened.

But some how the government had decided with just one case, to provide blanket discrimination against one specific group whom they allowed to be murdered indiscriminately, while not looking at the individual circumstances of each case. Babies, who were so disabled that they could not care for themselves, could all be murdered without a trial by a jury of their peers and without punishment. Shouldn’t these cases, at the very least, have a trial by a jury taking into account each individual case, before deciding whether each specific murder was a crime or not?

Filly thought about how, growing up, she had been very obedient to her parents. Her parents had taught her to respect grown ups and to be polite and to not argue. Her parents had also tried to teach her critical thinking. But Filly had seen that children who were cooperative, and obedient, were the very ones who also could be manipulated by evil doer’s most easily. Often the short term “rewards” given by evil, to motivate and attract growing children were self serving and had as a goal the ability to break family codes of honor, and to divide children away from their families, while promoting evil things like abortion and gender dysphoria.

Tater wanted to know what was going to happen to the child in the book, a child who did not enjoy having part in “a club”. But Filly believed that real mothers, who kept children even when they could not afford them, like the mom in the book, were better mothers than those who disposed of their children, so she wondered about that part of the book instead.

She wondered if mothers who had abortions, were then put on trial by a jury of their peers, would they be able to provide a palatable defense for the murder of an innocent?

Filly knew of children who had turned against their parents morals, rejecting them in favor of the fake and hypocritical “virtue signaling” by evil doers. Filly knew that the bible says that children should honor their father and mother. But if a parent had been harsh or cruel even a few times, those parents were effectively demonized.

And ironically, there were many children who were not critical thinking enough to recognize that they were being divided against their own families, and also could not see that the virtue signaling was a diversion, because those doing the virtue signalling were committing murder while praising people with disabilities…or basically speaking out of both sides of their mouth.

“The idiom “speak out of both sides of one’s mouth” means to be inconsistent or dishonest in what one says about the same subject or matter, depending on the audience or the circumstance.”
Filly thought about how snakes have a tongue that has two parts.
“The American idiom “to speak with a forked tongue” means to tell lies, to otherwise verbally deceive someone, to make empty promises, or to say one thing but to do another.

The saying comes from the fact that a “forked tongue” invokes images of a snake or serpent. Snakes have bifurcated tongues, and have been associated with evil since ancient times.”

Even books that make the mother evil, while making the woman who is forced to take children away from their natural mother good; appear to be “speaking with forked tongues”.

Filly thought, because of such books, that it was really important for parents to teach children about the long term consequences of seemingly innocent behaviors, and the diversion tactics of evil. For example, a parent could let a child eat sugar and soda all day long in the short term, but that would lead to obesity and diabetes and other health issues in the long term. In the short term, it might seem like parents who let their children eat whatever sugar they want were “nicer” but parents who took the time to teach their children to be critical thinkers, would help their children avoid the trap of evil to manipulate children in the long term.

On one side of the coin, would the girl who left her home, in the book, be forgiving of the mother who raised her harshly but let her live, Filly wondered? And on the other side of the coin, would those children in real life, who had survived an attempted murder by mothers or doctors of abortion, rise up to lead a war on the criminal elements that had contributed to the demise of so many of their “club”?

The gingerbread house in the story of Hansel and Gretel had a mean mother who did not want the children. But the next “mother” who “took them in” was a witch who wanted to destroy them for her own self serving purposes. Such is still true of those who try to divide children from their families today. Children who are deceived by the candy house and the treats the witch gave are at great risk.

Filly could see that children today in many of the public school systems, were being given “treats” by government entities (such as anonymous abortions, and gender drug therapy) that their parents did NOT give permission for or approve of, NOT to help the children grow up whole and healthy, but to divide them from their own families. This was not God’s plan and did not unite and strengthen the family.

But Filly was not worried because again her bible verse the day before said that God was giving this land to her and to the Christians. She had no doubt that God had an army of angels, of the millions of aborted babies, who would be rising up to prevent the destruction by evil.

Every book that demonized parents and families, needed to be evaluated by critical thinking and put up for discussion within families by parents and children. Harry Potter came to mind. Did it provide realistic views of families and did it give children uplifting role models to follow that supported strong family units? Filly thought not.

Little women, on the other hand, provided many examples of strong family units and behaviors that promoted long term success and family loyalty. Children brought up by parents who took time to discuss things with them, and give them critical thinking ability, would not be confused by the shallow promises of evil.

Filly thought that the democrats and their liberal agenda, were very good and deceiving youth with lies and empty promises while attempting to divide them from their families, but also thought that parents were very good at stopping democratic deception in its tracks by teaching critical thinking and showing how democrats do not have any long term fruit for their labor. A person could tell a tree by its fruit. And so far, inflation, mass immigration without borders, and abortion, was the evil “fruit” of democrats.

But Filly knew that the footsteps of evil were being surrounded by good, marching seven times around its camp, upon which the cities would be taken away from the evil doers. Of this God had promised. No forked tongue book could take away the power of God.

Filly picked her randomly chosen bible verse and it mirrored a preacher talk that she had heard on the radio the day before when she was driving back to the airport in North Carolina. The preacher had talked about how the armor of faith was something that was like a shield that protected and deflected the “barbed arrows” of evil. And the helmet of salvation was something that a person wore that protected their head or their thinking, keeping them alert to the tricks of evil, while pretending to be good.

Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you. 2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

Faith, Filly had heard on the radio, was like a trip to the other side of the country. A person could get there part way by car or by shuttle bus, but in the end they would still need to get on a plane for the final leg of the journey. Faith was metaphorically, the “way to get there” when a person had gone as far as they could every other way.

And when she was listening, about how to “taste and see the goodness of the lord” on the radio, Filly loved the analogy given of the pumpkin pie. The speaker on the radio said that his wife made a pumpkin pie from scratch by cleaning and cooking first the pumpkin. He said the pie tasted amazing and he had two pieces of the pie and only one piece was left. He said that he was a “witness” to the delicious taste of the pumpkin pie and that having a real witness was very powerful.

Filly was a witness to the power of God. She had experienced it first hand and no one would be able to convince her that God was not real any more than someone who ate some pumpkin pie could be convinced that pumpkin pie was not real. It was time, Filly knew, for children and adults, to taste and see the goodness of the lord, by being watchful and keeping the breastplate of faith and the helmet of salvation. And maybe it was time to make some pumpkin pie with Tater, while talking about that book they were reading together.
