Re: Connor's musings tore it up today.
One thing I disagree with:
"The United Nations is largely toothless. It has no real power to control countries."
They exercise their power subtlety, not overtly. They use NGOs (Like Our Church!) to implement POLICY on the local levels in the cultural institutions like Education, Media, Religion, Business, Health, Ecology, etc.
Politics is downstream from culture.

Firstly, many countries do ignore the UN on certain things. The USA, Russia, Israel and China all have for decades. The chamber itself is a talking shop.
Secondly, as you rightly say, the UN exerts power via its own bodies: UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF and UNHCR etc. UNESCO spearheads cultural initiatives. The WHO is probably the most powerful right now (no need to expand). UNICEF deals with disasters, famines etc and snaffles up money. UNHCR (one of the Light the World charities) decides most of who's going to move into your country and how many. However there are non-UN globalist NGOs which exert much more influence – NATO and Five Eyes being two examples.
Thirdly, the UN is really the storefront. There is real discussion in groups which are not open to free press coverage, and ones that no one has heard of. The fact these are so underhand and corrupt should raise concerns way before we get into specifics.

You're right. My fear is that once they see an opportunity to grow teeth, they will... and the subtlety will go away... all they need is the right "crisis".

Re: Connor's musings tore it up today.
I'm not exactly a fan, but the UN does at least operate through treaties and is fairly above board in some respects.. it's the underhand aspects in other organisations which concern me more. You know when the same laws start popping up in multiple countries without any paper trail... you know like why western schools are all of a sudden teaching six or seven year old schoolboys to chop off their willies and so on and how that could be seen as being of any educational benefit.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 5:10 pmNiemand wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:53 pmThis is very much a "Yes and No" question.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:37 pm One thing I disagree with:

But do I think the UN will be used by the Antichrist? You betcha.
I've also said elsewhere on here that the UN building beside the Hudson resembles the whore upon the waters. Quoting myself:

Re: Connor's musings tore it up today.
AFAIA, Church leaders haven't defined their use of "good global citizens." So, due to the Church's collaborative efforts with globalist organizations, we are left to infer, without modification to the definition, the existing globalist context. However, might the political neutrality of the Church exclude this interpretation, as well as inferring support of a philosophy that includes false doctrines? Might those who use this term imply only those principles, or the application thereof, compatible with gospel?
Church doctrines sometimes conflict with other contexts, and terms can be reappropriated. For instance, some early brethren referred to the Endowment as "true Masonry" or "Celestial Masonry," and other examples probably exist. This approach, likening something existing to something new, may aid understanding but there are pitfalls. In these cases, "Masonry" can have negative connotations. Otherwise, one can understand the intent, which is to build on an existing term in a new context.
Since following counsel not confirmed by the Spirit or that is otherwise deemed unwise (or unsafe and ineffective, etc.), I simply translate such counsel to accord with true principles. I haven't created my own reappropriation, such as "good gospel citizens," although this might at least be an improvement. I simply eliminate all non-gospel aspects. Thus, I would translate "good global citizen" essentially as Connor suggests, to "disciple of Christ."

The church's "political neutrality" is a huge lie. A façade. They've announced their political loyalties. Haven't you been paying attention? It's to Babylon.

"Global Citizen" is very much a New World Order thing.
https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/g ... itizenship
https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/g ... itizenship
The church employing the term "global citizen" is in accordance with its Agenda 2030 compliance. It is not explained to us, but duly noted by the UN. Pushing the vaxx and talking about racism, sexism, and climate change are also done in fulfillment of covenant obligations to the UN Sustainable Development program. Gotta check all the boxes every year.The concept of global citizenship is embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals though SDG 4: Insuring Inclusive and Quality Education for All and Promote Life Long Learning, which includes global citizenship as one of its targets. By 2030, the international community has agreed to ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including global citizenship.

Yup. I like what Ben McClintock said: Be the worst global citizen you can be.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 9:41 pm "We're a global church, but we shouldn't be globalists.

Re: Connor's musings tore it up today.
The United Nations certainly influenced conduct of the Korean War to the disadvantage of U.S. forces operations in Korea. And U.S. President Truman let them get away with that, with cooperation from the U.S. State Department. That told me a lot. During the Korean War I was close enough to the draft age to be concerned about certain events that indicated the American forces and their allies were being forced to relinquish certain advantages to the enemy.InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2023, 4:37 pm One thing I disagree with:

He's one of my subscriptions, so I listen to every episode. His episode, Was Joseph Smith a Polygamist, is a good episode.
