To my husband's chagrin, I have consistently referred to myself as a leper or unclean. Not because I am unclean, but because I have been made to feel unclean by the actions of others. So your headline - happy leper emancipation day - makes me smile. I just know that I have consistently thought that Jesus congregated with the lepers and that we should not exclude. I am not unclean, you are not unclean, we are not and have never been a danger to others. When I was sick, I voluntarily excluded myself from interacting with others, to keep them safe. When I am well, I have behaved normally, because I am not a danger to others. For all of us to be treated as if we were harming others....it has caused permanent transformation. I could say permanent damage, but it is more transformation, because I now interpret so much through the trauma of this experience, and I am more conscious of how I treat others, and I hope I am better living up to Jesus' standard. Just this morning I spoke to my son about the importance of not judging others and how age and maturity has made me realize more deeply the importance of God's grace, and that it has also taught me more how my actions, my teeny-tiny thoughtless actions, have a negative impact on others, and I hope it has made me kinder.

And, I have to add, I am more conscious of the importance of following the direction we were given in Luke 6 and Matthew 5: Love your enemies. I don't fully know how to put that in action considering my situation and my belief that I have to take action in order to preserve freedom (i.e., pursuing justice from my former employer) so I pray by name for my enemies from this situation - my former manager and his manager, the executive committee of my former company, the head of employment litigation, the ethics officer, the HR officer....I don't know what else to do in the context of this deep injustice and trauma they caused and I must do it so that I can eventually come to a place of forgiveness.

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:44-45

God be with you Napoleon. Please keep writing.

" I am not unclean, you are not unclean, we are not and have never been a danger to others."

This is exactly it. Especially in regards to how the churches treated the unshotted. We were lepers to them, whereas Jesus would specifically go into the leper colonies, we were specifically excluded. Also, in my workplace I was told to ring a bell to note my leper status to the non-lepers by wearing a face diaper. I refused and quit. Nothing has changed at all in regards to the covid virus, yet the PTB have deigned the EMERGENCY over!

As you say, Lord help me to love my enemies because the governments, and most people around me seem to be my enemies. At least now I might be able to travel to Turin in 2025 as an unshotted leper to see the Shroud if the world doesn't freak out again.

God Bless you Jennifer in your court case. No matter the outcome, you are doing what needs to be done and God sees that.

Will lessons be learned by enough people. I doubt it.

No I don't think so. Most people don't know what the unshotted went through and don't really care. The shotted don't really care about much as long as they can just go through life like they always have. As for the shot injuries, nobody cares including those injured. I really wish I could be more positive but history has always shown elsewise.

I'd prefer to maintain hope and as bleak as your view is, there are a constellation of unintended consequences and events that could easily bring wider critical awareness and derail to WEF/WHO et al. The murderous killing spree will not continue unnoticed, as everyone may well find themselves one degree of separation away from someone who died or is very sick.

I did pause for though, realising that were we successful in our quest to rein in the WHO IHRC & Pandemic Treaty tyranny, a majority of people would be blissfully unaware of the victory for freedom.

When Round 2 arrives, there will be greater difficulty in expediting jab coercion. Only this time, the coercive measures will be far worse. In New Zealand ethical approval is extended to bribes, fines, denial of access to medical treatment and denial of access to the supermarket ... should someone refuse.

It's going to 'fun' and I hope it brings on a righteous war, a civil war.

It'll happen again, and again and again. All we can do is not comply in our own personal lives. Society only changes when people change individually. God help us all!
