OP is working to stop the slaughter and to get more tools into other peoples' hands to work to stop the slaughter.
But OP also believes that there is a death worse than physical death, which is immortal soul-destruction through voluntary complicity in evil.
So OP also works, on a personal, individual level, to prepare to die, physically, in the process of resisting coercion to participate in evil. I don't know exactly what that scenario might look like. Starvation? Firing squad? Lethal injection? I play through them in my mind and try to rehearse the sequence of steps through which I manage to successfully withhold consent of the will and stay connected to God's grace. I don't dwell on those scenarios though. They just cross my mind from time to time.
I try to stay focused on fighting the fight as it presents itself each day, through prayer, work and hope.
Matthew 10:28 - “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
OP adds: Long before I understood anything at all about the "legal" how of the criminal enterprise or anything about the biological science of the mRNA/DNA/LNP lipid nanoparticles, my soul recoiled from what was happening. I was not the source of that recoil instinct. God, working in the mysterious ways in which He works, was the source of that recoil instinct. My participation was respecting the recoil instinct and working through and with it.
I do believe very strongly, or I know, that it is not possible to be "disconnected" from Grace. We may act or feel disconnected, but it cannot be. Impossible! WE are not the ultimate power, we are only like little children in comparison. That's my view of it, anyway. xo
I do have children; I fight for them in addition to everyone else.
I'm very sorry about the horrible situation you are in. It is a tragedy, and it's a tragedy that has happened to millions of people and families, as you know.
I don't think Bailiwick is a good Substack for you to read, given your situation and your viewpoints.
A core premise of my work is that there are unseen forces at work on "our side," just as there are unseen forces at work on the enemies' side, and that none of us humans can see or understand the whole battlefield, only parts of it.
The task as I see it, is to persevere without knowing all the people and events and forces at work, to fight with what we have, in the places where we are, as best we can.
If you don't or can't believe in those unseen forces, and that some of them love humanity and are at work on our behalf, then Bailiwick will not be useful to you, either for motivation and practical tools, or for consolation during suffering.
Perhaps we think forces that are "unseen" are not there...
But they're always there. Loving us, helping us. It doesn't matter if you're religious, or what religion you adhere to if you are... None of that matters. Love is all around us. It will never leave us.
Death is not the end. It's like break time. Vacation. It's NOT permanent, for the soul, only for that one body. It's not the END... This is what my bones tell me.
Now, where did I say that? Why you go to some extreme OTHER thing?
Okay, I see people do this a lot. It's a knee-jerk thing. But that's not what I'm saying.
I will explain more later if you want me to, but right now I'm getting OFF this machine and doing something healthier... Maybe sleep on it and we can yak tamale... xo I suspect you'll realize what I meant.

You and all Bailiwick readers are in my prayers.

Please watch this video, be ready to take notes, and DETOX yourself and your wife.
I will send up prayers for both of you.

Well, some of that detox is just vitamins! You could just be a Vitamin Guy, lol.
Anyway, I'm keeping both of you, and your kiddos, in my heart pocket.
