Anyone who does not agree or accept the corrupt establishments tyrant world view is called an 'extremist', just like anyone who has an opposing view to the super elites controlled mainstream media is called a 'conspiracy theorist'.

Theres a couple things the govn dont want, and thats a free press and a free market. They want a deluded controlled brainwashed nation of people.
 
I was surprised (and not surprised at the same time, as you learn to expect this kind of thing) at some of the things on the list. The one about people complaining about biases reminded me of a film I watched a couple of nights ago called 'The Changing'. It's a true story about a case of police corruption and some really extreme 'conspiracies' against an innocent woman. I would recommend it. At one point she is put in an insane asylum and someone she meets tells her about the catch 22 she is in - if she smiles too much she is labelled as manic, if she doesn't smile enough she is labelled depressed, and if she is neutral she is disconnected and withdrawn (or something along those lines).

If persecution does come soon, then lets be thankful for it, as Jesus teaches us to. And lets make the world a better place ;)
 
These things must be, for now. We know all these things will happen from prophecy. We're told not to fear, He will never leave us or forsake us.

Good call, LovethroughDove. I heard a good saying this week, which went "You only love God as much as you love the person who you like the least".

Oh, and I missed out a letter from the movie title in my previous post, sorry about that. It's actually called 'The Changeling'.
 
Not trying to scare anyone Eugene.. its a sign of the times is all..

The country that our forefathers founded is dying.

Now, individuals and organizations that attempt to restore the values that our founders once believed in so strongly are regarded as dangerous “extremists” that need to be watched carefully.

Sadly, most Americans don’t even realize what is happening to this nation. As long as they are fed a constant diet of mindless entertainment, most Americans are perfectly content to let “the experts” do their thinking for them.

There once was a man who tried to uncover it all and tried to sound the alarm......his name was Glen Beck. He was neutered and now only his shadow remains.
 
Here's another viewpoint..

“The decades old trend, that Christianity is irrelevant, is increasingly giving way to the notion that Christianity is bad for society,” declares the Christian pollster Barna Group.

As suicide bombers target airports and subways, “religious extremism” is increasingly blamed. Governments struggle to maintain a balance of freedom for all beliefs, but it is obvious to the public that religious belief is the motivation behind the jihadists. After the Brussels bombing the pope asked for prayer for the terrorists who were “taken in by cruel fundamentalism.” Islam is okay, it’s just those “extreme fundamentalists.”

Unfortunately, as the general public becomes more non-religious, Bible believers get painted with the same brush. There is rising concern about strange people who go to church instead of brunch on Sunday, who read an old book of legends about a mythical being who rose from the dead, and who question evolution. The last straw is when these weirdos engage in “proselyting,” and try to convert your children. These “extremists” need to be watched.

Satan has always tried to push the gospel into the margins. As usual, the change in the meanings of words is a tip-off to where it is going. Over the past 50 years, “fundamentalist” has gone from someone who is admired for holding fast to the fundamental doctrines of scripture, to synonymous with Muslim “extremists” who act out the “fundamental” doctrines of the Qur’an.

But when the heart is unredeemed, liberty becomes freedom to sin. Then, Satan’s false religions become tools for death and destruction —his ultimate goal. Then Satan can sell the idea that all religions are bad, including biblical Christianity.

Increasingly, we who were known as strange “fundamentalists,” are lumped together with more suspicious “extremists” on the way to becoming feared “radicals.” What was once mainstream biblical views on hell, sodomy, and marriage are now considered antiquated Neanderthal concepts.

So, what’s a soul winner to do? The Great Commission doesn’t give us room to run and hide. More and more we are ambassadors from a foreign Kingdom, on assignment to this alien world that is under Satan’s heel. We must keep up our witness of the joys and benefits of our Kingdom —His love and sacrifice for lost sinners.

When we see ourselves as the sower in the parable, we know that not all gospel seed will sprout. We must spread generously, however, for there to be a maximum harvest. In the hustle and bustle of living, there is rarely time for discussion about the Kingdom. But it only takes a few seconds to hand someone a tract containing the seed of the gospel. When we do, then the Spirit has something to water, and God gives the increase.

Satan’s “extremists” bring death and destruction. We must be winsome “extremists” graciously inviting the bewildered to consider our Kingdom and our King whose name is true Love.

But we are under the same instruction as Ezekiel in chapter 3:18. We will be held accountable if we neglect to warn the sinner.

We must continue our surrender to our Lord and remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If we remain faithful, we can keep our minds aware of the seasons and we may be told to remove ourselves physically from a situation. After all, there are families' safety to think of. Not just our own. Even Joseph had to pick up and move. Pay attention to what is going on around you and act when/how the Spirit guides.
 
10 years ago there were three Christian bookstores within a 25 mile radius from my home.. Today they no longer exist..
 
I seem to fit the bill on a lot of those points. Pretty sad state when governments become so corrupt that they would label signs of a moral conscience as extremism. But that's radical leftism for you.

Yes ,fewer people are reading books.it's easy to download a bible commentary or buy an e book.
I buy mainly books but it was way cheaper to buy them online than at the local Christian bookstore. They just couldn't compete.
