I think the word to focus on here is "forced". I don't know mr Ryan so can't speak for him, but I am thinking that by "forced" he doesn't mean 'asked nice by your bishop'.BroJones wrote: ↑February 5th, 2022, 11:43 am
Let's see what our friend Kevin Ryan says about it (wearing masks)... Quoting from dig within.net, Kevin's blog:
QUOTE. "There are creative ways to resist as well. For example, if you are forced to wear a mask in public areas in order to conduct your life, put a message on the mask that lets like minded people see you. Something like “Mind Control” or “You stay safe, I’ll stay free” would work...." UNQUOTE
In some places wearing a mask is mandated and failure can result in massive fines or being tackled to the ground by a cop and having a mask strapped on to your face.
I think that's probably what mr Ryan means by 'forced'.
Let's remember even in those places where masks are mandated people DO resist. I've seen little old ladies handcuffed and dragged away and 12 yr old girls tasered for standing up and refusing to comply.
You are not being handcuffed, you are not at risk of being tasered. You are facing nothing worse than social disapproval
And yet it's enough to make you cave.
Re-evaluate Dr J, I beg you. You are a man of great courage. You have proved that. Which makes you exactly the type of person who needs to be setting an example of resistance right now.
You could easily politely decline to wear a mask and explain why. If you did that others might follow.
