Lack of algorithms, relative size of the user base compared to other socials, and mediocre user experience on a number of the apps requires more patient work.

Magnesium spray or cream on the legs and knees can help too

Decentralize you food supply chain

Decentralize your energy sources

Know where to find local sources of fresh water

Establish high trust, tight-knit community

Develop a solid home library

Use Tor, VPN, encrypted comms

Think about all of your household's particular vulnerabilities and do what you can to mitigate risk. What do you rely on that could be KYCd? Figure out contingency plans now for what you will do if/when you will need to cut the cords.

"Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by His rules." Jonathan Edwards

The Puritans would conduct family worship morning and evening. In our household we have adopted their basic evening model of a scripture passage, prayer, and a hymn.

While our kids are young we keep the time focused and short but will leave a little time for discussion as it may arise. We have iterated as we have had more children and as they get older we will probably continue to iterate.

Every family should find a model of family worship that works for them. Every night isn't possible for some families. Sometimes simple bedtime prayer is all that is doable. Do what you can with what you have. But don't do nothing. It is the father's duty to lead his family in family worship. The Puritans would excommunicate fathers who willfully abdicated this responsibility.

To name a few "facts" that are directly related to postindustrial feminist ideology and birth control technologies.

I enjoy the engagement on these subjects but since your main retorts against me are "who are you to say?" and "why evidence do you have?" and "those are all opinions" I am bowing out and will simply encourage you to do the research here. And to read the Bible.

Discovered suggests it was already there. It was already there because it was fixed by Christ. It was fixed by Christ because by him and through him all things were made.

Search out the texts of Scripture. Discover its glories. Test its code. Come to Christ.

Thanks for clarifying.

I believe a proper reading is to see the dominion mandate as still in effect. The arc of Scripture gives testimony to this in various places, including in the New Testament when Christ gives the Great Commission. It is a further layer atop the original dominion mandate, mirroring and building upon the command to be fruitful and multiply.

You may appreciate this article. It deals with some things related to this discussion:

As mentioned in it, there is a direct economic and domestic connection to dominion. Many words and concepts we use even today to describe aspects of domesticity have overlapping etymological roots with "dominion". Like the word "domestic" itself, and "domain".

Fathers, when your children are young, get down and wrestle with them on the floor. Let them throw their weight into you and see that you can bear it.

Kneel down often when you talk to them, especially when correcting them. Show them that you are willing to lovingly condescend to their level and look them in the eyes.

Pick up your children as often as you can. Even when you are tired. Bring them up to see the world from your perspective (h/t Walter Bond) .
